Our community is having a Christmas dinner this weekend. Santa will be paying a visit and the deal is if the parents provide a wrapped labelled gift, Santa will give it to your child.
I went out shopping today and bought two toys. One which my DD(4) has been pestering me for each time we are shopping (call it gift A) and another which I saw and think she might like, but not be as thrilled with (B). Both gifts are £10-15 mark so not a main gift.
I want to give her gift B over the weekend and save gift A for Christmas day. I think that christmas day is a more special occasion and it will be more magical that way. I think that if A turns up this weekend when she saw it today, she will figure out mum and dad were involved (she is pretty smart like that). Even if she doesn't, it sets a precedence for every future store FC she goes to see.
DH thinks I am being unreasonable for overthinking it, but also should give gift A tomorrow because that's what she really wanted whereas B isn't.
