I've book a very cheap stay in a caravan park for myself, DH and DC's. First time away in months, and it's pet friendly, so we can bring our puppy away for the first time. Can't wait to see their faces on Christmas Day.

My lovely DP works incredibly hard but resents buying himself anything. He knows about a football top he’s getting, but no idea about the jumper (he always makes a comment about it when they’re playing) and i just know he’ll love it.
Also got dinosaur obsessed DS toy’s he will absolutely love. I got 10 dinosaur books for £10 from the works and he’s going to be so excited! I just can’t wait to see their faces on Christmas day. 💙 merry Christmas all!!!

My almost 5 year old ds is obsessed with Lego and Ghostbusters, so we got him ecto 1 off ebay! He's going to be over the moon!
He has been trying to make one whilst following a you tube video, but it's all sorts of colours and we havnt got quite the right shapes. My dh nearly caved yesterday and wanted to give it to him early but I've hidden it well!!

I’ve had a photo of DH with his mother and two brothers restored. It was so badly damaged you could barely see them, but it was the only photo he had of any of them as they all died years ago. The restoration is fantastic, far better than I hoped. There will be tears.

Dd1 who is 5 - some pink plastic waste of money she's been asking for since before Christmas last year. I've relented and bought it, but every time we go on the toy shop she says 'don't worry, I know it's a waste of money I won't ask for it'. She will be so happy.

Dd2 is only 2 but into Bing so family have all bought her Bing stuff this year. No doubt she will play with the wrapping and boxes more 😂

Nothing too thoughtful this year really but I'm excited to give the kids an original tamigotchi each

Mostly newspapers and magazines.

I can't wait for the 10yo to open his metal detector!

I've made a cross stitch of my friend's black lab. She'll be an emotional bag of snot!

A birdbox camera for my dad, so he can watch nesting birds, it's right up his street.

For my sister, a Swarovski Christmas tree ornament. She's just got divorced, so this'll be a huge pick me up.

Alas I won't be able to see either my dad or sister open them, but we'll zoom.

@elQuintoConyo I bought my D's a metal detector a few years ago, it was very popular!

Only a silly thing but my 4 year old has been watching those Happy Napper adverts for months and asking for one and he's finally going to get one!
It'll probably be abandoned after 5 minutes Xmas Grin

Trip away went down very well here! Smile

My DD loves a good, single malt whisky. I got her a personalised bottle of a really good one presented in a silk lined box. It's personalised with her name and date of birth.

She loved it,but I think her favourite present might have been the black socks with Fuck the Tories in gold writing on them.

so excited to give my husband his new bike that he’s been asking for for years! it’s got a dildo attached to the seat and i’m not too sure what he needs that for but I finally gave in

Thorilicious · 26/12/2021 10:02

@arlodumbledog I hope he was very grateful Grin
