I know it’s early but usually by now I’ve pretty much sorted my Christmas shopping, but this year I just don’t have a clue what to get either of them! They’re both quite grown up for their ages, they both like gaming and normally have a main present between them - PS4 last year and Xbox the year before. They have the games they need and there’s lots they have that they don’t use. They’ve recently sold loads of games they don’t use anymore as they pretty much just play Fortnite. They have a second hand Switch each but rarely play them and don’t need more games for those either. They will both have some v-bucks but that’s as much as I can think of! They’ll have some clothes but they won’t see that as an exciting present. Often we buy a family trip to the theatre but the current Covid issues put me off that idea. We had Harry Potter studio tours trip cancelled as well as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. So much is cancelled that it’s tricky thinking of experiences. We’re down in Cornwall too so not close to any large cities where most experiences are. It’s such a first world problem but I think they really have everything they want/need! We have a massive extended family (my husband and I are both from divorced parents who remarried so four sets of grandparents and loads of aunts and uncles hi all like to spoil them!) They had a tv for their bedroom each with birthday money this year, they have an echo dot each (they use those loads). They have a phone each (secondhand again). They read lots but have loads of books. The only thing they want is a puppy but my husband has vetoed that! My eldest is no longer a believer but my youngest still is and I expect it will be the last year for him so I really want it to be special. Help!
