I don't know if I'm in awe or outraged Grin

@ShirleyPhallus

I like that he’s written “Nike airmax (trainers) (from Nike)” just in case you’re so old that you have no idea what Nike is
😂 Yes, this is great!

My kids would probably worry I'd find some fake ones and Sharpie a tick on the side 😁

I love this! My son will be 14 by the time Christmas is here but he would be so disappointed if there wasn’t a teddy of some sorts waiting for him on Christmas morning!

I asked for nothing except for a horse for every single birthday and Christmas. Refused to put anything else on the list Christmas, I was 11, and I had to go take a present to the yard, sulking as my loan horse had been sold Loan horse comes out with a giant red bow. I don't think I was capable of speech Grin

I'm loving the categorization. :-D
Total legend.

Derbee · 11/11/2021 12:59

The REAL diamond chain! But don’t mind if not. Grin very funny

TrueGrit54 · 11/11/2021 12:59

I love it, what a savvy kid, negotiation is a skill.

winterisaroundthecorner · 11/11/2021 13:02

Wanting Teddy and diamond chain at the same time sounds kind a cute.

ssd · 11/11/2021 13:03

This is brilliant.

Remember the days when a few things out the Disney store was enough?!?

ssd · 11/11/2021 13:05

The 'from Nike" bit is the best....have you heard of Nike, mum? Grin

Be outraged!! Its "because" not "cause"Wink

Be in awe at the ability to rank wants into 3 classes (with pricing!!)

Snoken · 11/11/2021 13:08

Oh, bless him! Now I want to buy him a diamond necklace. He is clever that way I guess.

Wisteriahills · 11/11/2021 13:12

When my dd was 9 we had 1)puppy 2) dog lead 3) dog bowl 4) dog treats 5) dog coat 6) how to look after your dog book. Not a lot of wiggle room there considering we had no intention of buying a dog....

StealthRoast · 11/11/2021 13:12

This is adorable. I love the categories and the use of REAL for emphasis.
My 10 year old dd handed me hers a few weeks back and was kind enough to add the total up for me Grin

At least he puts things down that exist. One of mine used to make up things e.g. I want a toy that looks like a robot, but when you turn its right arm, it turns into a monster truck. The robot has to be blue and the truck has to be green.
When I said this didn't exist he confidently said Santas elves could make it.

AudTheDeepMinded · 11/11/2021 13:13

Count yourself lucky, my nine-year old, when asked what he wanted for his birthday, replied, 'suction boots'. Great!

MrKlaw · 11/11/2021 13:15

Keyboard is impressive but so specific I’d be worried getting it wrong. Nice ask though. Rest seems a decent mix of aspirational and reasonable. Love how they grouped them. and even the ‘really want’ has some not so expensive things on

At least she's added up the total extortionate price for you, you must be very proud. Hmm

OP your DC has lovely handwriting. That's all I have, sorry.

Thank god I only have DH and 2 cats to buy for. 🤯

Asmadasahatter · 11/11/2021 13:19

I don’t blame him for the giant teddy !

DH said you need to get the horse as it ticks a lot of boxes. 😂😂
AudTheDeepMinded · 11/11/2021 13:22

@LockDownBear have you seen Wallace and Gromit, when they climb up the walls to rob the diamond? Like that I presume.

StealthRoast · 11/11/2021 13:24

@PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets it’s a good job I’m not the organised type.
She has changed her mind on the “main presents” section and has decided she wants an iPhone 12 MINI in purple.

Same way she wanted to be an “ice cream van lady” one week and a marine biologist the next....

Newbabynewhouse · 11/11/2021 13:24

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the lay out is like i used to do my christmas lists!!!!! To be fair though every present was not as expensive as your child has askes for!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i think its hylerious...

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 11/11/2021 13:25

@SafeMove

My 10 year old DD put £1000 on her list (and a horse) with a winky face. Never going to happen. When I asked what a 10 year old could possibly need a grand for, she very seriously said 'Premium Bonds' Grin
Has "Grandpa" been bending her ear?... It would be a decent long term investment - even if it was £50.
