Christmas....(i know...humour me!)

[allthebestkids06]

Christmas is upon us...I have to start planning...loads of kids - and quite frankly the adoption topics are so depressing lately we could all do with some nicer chats....so

I need some ideas....I don't buy much - kids go wild and can't cope etc
we tend to buy 1 biggish pressie eg bike etc. and about 4-5 little bits to open - eg pjs, dvd, new pencil, £ is irrelevant to the LOs, but they MUST have the same number of gifts...

dc 1 i've got dream box of lego
dc 2 wants a scooter i think....keeps changing mind
dc 4 wants a scooter...
dc3, 5 and 6 i am stuck - they are 5yrs and the babies are 18 months (these are the kids who have everything you or i could think of!)
HELP PLEASE

I would never think about Christmas this early - but, with matching panel next week - I am starting to think about an extra stocking to hang up this year :):)

and bucket loads of plastic lighting up crap, and nerf guns..

@Topcat it's from Oct 2017. These old threads flash up when someone posts something that gets deleted etc.

@Italiangreyhound - oops - must pay more attention and not resurrect the zombies!

What about a box of sensory type things for the little ones. Light up spinners etc ( cheap as chips in card factory). You can get light up tamborines and fibre optic mini lamps etc really cheap. Stick in a few musical instruments, jingle bells, shakers etc and fill a stocking . Very inexpensive if you hunt online for little treasures and they will love it.
All little ones love such things and it will keep them good for hours !

Oh I love a good zombie thread ! Especially if it involves Christmas !

@flapjack typical of you, you are worse than the kids over Christmas

@Mynamenotaccepted
I know I just can't help myself !
I pm ed you a while back by the way . Don't know if you got it ?

@flapjack stop nagging am old enough to be your mother! Will PM you this evening😁

Well you are young at heart hon. That's priceless

Haha I was reading and then thought eh when did I post on this thread 😂 that mud kitchen is still holding up well by the way, studio outdid themselves!
Last Xmas DS was about to turn 4 and I bought the magnetic shapes that you can build with, they continue to be a big hit.

Slime and Gelli baff are also massive hits if looking for a stocking filler.

Nice to see some old faces here, I don’t come on that often but it’s lovely to know that you are all still here x
