[musttidyupmusttidyup]

onlyhappy i got the batcave on amazon recently for £38 for ds1.
Play doh dentist set looks fun -was thinking for ds2. (nearly 4) but will it be a play-once-then-gather-dust toy?

[acsec]

So far for DSS, 8, we've got:

Ultimate Band Wii game (£1.25 on amazon?!)
Super Scribblenauts DS game (£4.40 on amazon)
inflatable globe
Ninjago Lego kit

Going to get him some slippers, dressing gown and a Diry of a Wimpy Kid board game, then little bits for stocking and we'll be done.

He would really like a bike but we live in a flat with no storage and the sheds keep getting broken in to, so he'll have to wait until we have a house. Also, he got a scooter for his bday which he "really realy" wanted and yet rarely uses.

[bluecarrot]

Nothing yet. And its her birthday in December too. Keeping it v light this year though - mainly "experience" gifts like entrance into the zoo, cinema tickets etc. Need to work out how Santa can arrange these things when not all the places do gift vouchers, and how he will write them in a calendar...(hoping one outing a month, and stuff we might poss have done anyway) Shes 10 this December so this will be her last santa year.

[InMySpareTime]

I'm feeling a bit stingy now with my bargain Christmas, but last year they were unreasonably pleased with pencil cases, and a bit non-plussed by the second hand Wii .

[Waitingforastartofall]

Haha that sounds about right, dont you find the one thing your most excited about they dont bother with but the thing you bought on a whim they love... i need to carry on cracking on but not seen any good deals for a while. got the batcave for £39 from amazon which is brill as i was about to pay 55 for it.
