Share your pleasurable anticipation ahead of gift giving

DD is 15 soon. For her birthday she will be getting tickets to see Harry Styles (which we managed to get for free!!!). She will go off her head with excitement.

I can't tell anyone for fear of someone blabbing and ruining the surprise so I'm telling all of you.

Who else wants to share?

I bought DD tickets for the Harry Potter play for her last birthday (she’s obsessed). Bloody good seats too. , I paid a fortune! I hid the tickets in the first book and did her a treasure hunt to them. She was over the moon! We had an amazing weekend in London - well we had two actually because the second half was cancelled first time round, so we went back 2 months later with replacement tix.

@devildeepbluesea that's lovely 😊

I've got a pair of Uggs for my 15yo DD for Christmas. So chuffed with myself as she really wants a pair and they seem to be hard to get hold of!

I am taking my DD to get her ears pierced on Sunday for her birthday. She has been desperate for ages but I've finally relented. It's a surprise for her birthday morning and she will be so excited.

DS has a weekend trip to Berlin (booked after lots of good feedback on here)

He is such a great kid, he was terribly bullied and is now home educated. He works so hard and looks after his little sister,and gran. I look at him and keep smiling.
I'm not sure how to give it to him though. Its just the flights/hotel details copied on a piece of paper atm.

I have found DD (11yo) the perfect Christmas present. She likes to create a special garden of different purple flowers in the summer. Her favourite animal is owls, especially Snowy owls...

I have found a white, owl shaped flower planter with bulbs to grow purple flowers. It cost £5 and I know it will make her Christmas.

Lovely thread!
@FeelWellEnoughToTellYou how about buying him a small City Guide to Berlin? He’ll pull a suitably ‘what the heck’ face & you could have the flight details on a slip tucked inside.
My DP did that for a surprise trip to Venice when we were dating 😊

This is such a lovely thread!

I have made my DH a clock that is based on his favourite (obscure) band that I know he will not have thought I could have done.

Also got DS the present that he asked Father Christmas for - and in a charity shop!

Ah that's fab @PuttingDownRoots.

I made a giant crochet animal for my daughter for Christmas ! I’m so very proud of it! Can’t wait to see her face!

Lovely thread.

My 9 year old is getting a switch. He thinks he won't be allowed one till he's 10 (next year, we've always said 10 for games consoles). I can't wait to see his face.

Ds is getting dh (well, we all are really) a go karting day because he thinks his dad will love it - he's right!

Best gift last year for DD was the operation ouch magazine and tickets to see the live show. She loved it!!

Yes!! That's perfect. I will steal that Thank you!
