Hey all, I figured I could do with a bit of help as ideas are not very forthcoming.
DC (boys) are 8 & 9. Have managed stockings with a budget of £50 and they look like this:
DC9
Scratch Art
Drawing case (pencils, paints etc)
Roblox Annual
Blank Comic Book
Minecraft Activity Book
Magic Ball
Fidget Stretch
Beano Top Trumps
Pyjamas
DC8
Scratch Art
Beano Annual
Blank Comic Book
Minecraft Top Trumps
Captain America T-Shirt
Roblox Where's the Noob? book
Magic Ball
Fidget Stretch
Minecraft Annual
Pyjamas
I've bought three family board games (thank you MN - Blokus, Pandemic, Unstable Unicorns, and Sands of Catan is coming too from another gift giver) for under the tree as that's what we need to do after a couple of years (acrimonious divorce) of disconnect, but they're asking for Lego and it's just so expensive. Any suggestions as to what I could get away with in terms of gifts from me? Their stockings seem very bookish, and a bit, well, bland? Am I overthinking this? Are there some reasonably priced Lego sets out there that I've missed? Is there a PS4 game they can play together?
Eldest is Harry Potter / Doctor Who / Star Wars book worm creative writing artist. Youngest is constantly seeking out someone to play with. Lego is firm favourite, screens - they have a kindle fire each, and a PS4 (which they love playing but get to do so fortnightly - we have Harry Potter game and Lego Movie game).
Thank you. I'm so conscious as it's just the three of us now, that it just doesn't seem enough but then again I'm not willing to spend a fortune - they know how much I love them.
