Anyone else's dc request odd things for Christmas?

[lostscot]

My ds 7 has requested a budgie and a dyson for the last 3 years, poor Santa was lost for words last year! Anyone else had a odd request?

[LizzieMacQueen]

Blutac comes up fairly frequently.

[Chrisinthemorning]

A tidy up sign from my 3 year old. Still a bit puzzled!

[ontheedgeofnewdawn]

There was a thread on here last Christmas with some brilliant ones on.

Bluetac has been requested many times here too?

[ontheedgeofnewdawn]

No idea why there is a question mark at the end of that?

[VulcanWoman]

You can get toy Dysons.
I got my son some mini traffic cones one year.

When my oldest daughter was nine she asked for a paper shredder. I can only presume she had lots of confidential paperwork she needed to get rid of

[LikeASoulWithoutAMind]

When ds1 was 5 he asked for a folder.

He took a register on Christmas Day

[weebarra]

DD is 2. She has requested some cake, a torch and a meerkat. More imaginative than her big brothers.

[Allyoucaneat]

Casdon do a good to dyson, real suction and everything!

And how about a digibird / little live pet budgie. They're less than £10.

Dd (11) has requested a glue gun this year. Have got her one but have no idea what she wants to glue.

I suspect it could be her little brother. Sigh.

DD (14) asked for a set of crutches a few years ago! Someone at school had a broken leg or something and she thought crutches looked cool Didn't buy them of course!

[Osquito]

DS is too young yet to request items, but we are certain he will. My sister and I asked for tins of olives as children. We were thrilled to find them in our Christmas sacks!

[SitsOnFence]

DS (7) asked for some weights, as in dumbbells Neither DH nor I lift weights, so no idea where that's come from.

DD (5) asked for a gymnastics leotard and mat. She doesn't go to gymnastics classes and, as far as I am aware, does not do it at school or Rainbows, so I can only assume she means to teach herself...

[Lovelydiscusfish]

Dd's Christmas list just had two (named) My Little Ponies on it (one quite obscure), and also "soc" (sock, as in, literally, a sock. Or presumably, a pair).
I've no idea why she wants a sock. Nor had she, when pressed.

[blamethecat]

Ds 2.6 wants "a torch present and a spider present" wish I had asked before spending a fortune on pirate ships and stickle bricks!

[lostscot]

These are brilliant, I love the tidy sign! I've suggested both toy Hoover and budgie and was answered with a sigh and "no mummy a real one"! We are considering the budgie at some point as husband has had all sorts of birds in past and fil still does...

[NorahBone]

SitsOnFence I think your children are planning on running away to join a circus.

[AtSea1979]

I thought DDs was hard work, now I feel so much better!

[GetSchwifty]

My four year old asked for a salad spinner. He saw one in a shop and thought it was great. Luckily it's been forgotten about and now he just wants toys.

[SitsOnFence]

Maybe you have something there NorahBone, they are hoping for a garden swing from me and DH. Perhaps they plan to use it to learn the trapeze?

[ceeveebee]

My 4 yo DD wants a cage or dungeon to keep her toy elsa in.
She's getting a bike

[Misty9]

May I recommend the oxo salad spinner get? my 4yo ds loves it, and it has a useful function. Win win!

[CharleyDavidson]

Dd2 has asked for, and is getting,one of those apple peeling machines. She's 11.

[deepdarkwood]

Ds has asked for "rope (lots of)"
Probing revealed he planned to make a rope swing and set up a trap in his room. He is getting rope . He is nearly 12&should sure be asking for iPhones or summat

Dd's main present from Santa a couple of years ago was a large cardboard box (empty). It was her best present that year and she contemplated asking for another one for her main present this year.

A gnome & a picture of an owl
