Christmas

Hey just wondering how many presents you get you children at Christmas?

I usually splash out but now baby number 3 is here I just can't do it x

it depends. usually, the kids get one big present (eg: a scooter, a tablet) and then some small ones (board games, magic tricks, stuff like that) and then a stocking (pound land toys, sweets, an orange). it may be worth having a scout around on gumtree, ebay or www.oxfam.org.uk/shop as there are usually some great bargins on there. one year we got dd a micro scooter from a seller on ebay, in such good condition but only a fraction of the price. all the best!

That's great thanks x

no problem. off topic, but do you do an elf on the shelf? it makes xmas really special, especially if you are cutting down on gift numbers x

[popsanddolls]

Yeah we do that. My 4 year and baby are easy... my 13 year old is another mater x

I asked a question regarding Christmas presents. Not what month we are currently in. If you didn't want to answer my question then don't bother writing anything at all

Christmas is fast approaching! I usually give 1-2 presents for my kids and a stocking full of candies and chocolates. They really appreciate it and that's what really matters.

Depends. When they were little, the gifts were cheaper so they had a few. Now they're older they want expensive things so they only get 1-2 presents! Quality over quantity. Santa brings them a lindt chocolate Santa and activity.
