I am totally stuck, and the small amount of things she'd asked for I bought for her birthday just gone.

I need some inspiration! Smile

I’m getting dd a kindle fire I think. Her stocking is full of Harry Potter things and other people are getting her the two new Harry Potter books, the nerf bow and arrow thing, a notebook, a mermaid blanket, pjs (always), a new towel (Harry Potter obvs), a light up globe. Can’t wait, she’s going to love it all.

My DS is nearly 7. He’s asked for playmobil, nerf gun, a fingerling, a glitter tattoo set, one of those nail art sets, a lip gloss maker and magic set or a joke set. As well as every single advert that comes on tv 😆 he hasn’t actually done his Santa list. He’s allowed to ask for 1 big present and four little presents but we do indulge more.
As little fillers I’ve get him two board games(pie face and say it don’t spray it) the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban and I’m getting him the illustrated history of magic. We’ve also got some busy books for him and his sisters and will be getting some jigsaw puzzles. I go a bit mental at Christmas but always under a budget.

My DS is almost 7 (January) and so far I have got:

Remote control BB8 from Star Wars
Darth Vader light up figure
Star Wars bowl/plate set
New PJ's (Star Wars..funnily enough!)
Light sabre
Storm Trooper jumper
Crayola Star wars light up tracing pad

Am also going to be getting him a new Nerf gun and a lego set

Stocking wise so far:

Star wars top trumps
Yoda face flannel
Lego soap
Light up Xmas pen
Felt tip pens
Minion note book
Star Wars gloves
Star Wars pants

As you can guess he's a bit nuts for Star Wars this year! Last year it was all Space themed stuff.

Ds is getting a CD player and cds (Taylor swift and Katy Perry are his favourites currently!) and probably some more Lego kits. He and his younger sister will get a playmobil set between them for F.C. present. Extended family go a bit crazy so I’m determined to cut down on what we buy at least this year.

Also I think he’s old enough for snap circuits now and he’d love them

DS has asked for a bike, guinness book of records, GBOF Gamers edition, and a giant gummy bear (cost me £30 ffs!).

I forgot- also got him a fingerling. He didn't ask for one (has never mentioned it) but I'm sure he'll like it.

My dd 7 has asked for pretty much everything she's seen advertised 🙄
So far I've got her a wooden dressing table with some play make up & hair bits, Jojo siwa doll, headphones, book, cushion, pyjamas & bows, enchantimals playset, shopkins playset, kids sewing machine, fingerling playset with 2 monkeys (will be shared with her sister) and some bedroom accessories from Claire's. Think I'll get her the shopkins jet too & a smiggle voucher. She's also asked for a hover board & lol giant surprise but won't be getting those!

One of the best things about having no live TV is no toy adverts - ds doesn't know most of these toys exist.

He's getting a new bike and a big Lego set.
