To buy DS a huge Mr Men book box set just cos? Worried about spoiling him!

[ilikeyoursleeves]

ie not for a birthday or any other special occasion? I keep going on about dh spoiling our kids cos he buys them toys quite often in between Xmas and birthdays. Ds1 is starting to say 'I want I want...' a lot and I don't want him getting spoiled.

He is 5.5 and his latest thing he loves is Mr Men books. He can read them perfectly himself and really enjoys them. He has 3 but is now asking for more. I just found a box set of 47 books for £30 (RRP £125 or something) and I'm swithering whether to buy them or not, I don't want him to be 'spoiled' but can you really spoil someone with books? Or I could keep them and give them to him for say, Easter or a good report at parents night?

AIBU to give him them?

I just bought them, plus a Meg and Mog box set for ds2 so he doesn't feel left out. Yippee!

I loved meg and mog too they have been about for decades I am 41 and can remember meg and mog,

I detest the phrase 'I want'!!!

However you can't spoil a child with books, I buy books a few times a month and get as much pleasure from seeing the children with books as they do reading them. DD2 (almost 18mths) loves books already, I can only hope that continues .

Ds2 got a meg and mog book from the library recently and loved it so hopefully he will be happy with his books too.
