My dd (3) has asked for a dolphin, when I asked where we could keep it she suggested "close all the doors and windows and fill the house up with water - we can then live upstairs!"
2nd on her list is a unicorn - "where would I find one" - "from the unicorn shop - of course mummy"

Spicegirl - it's a Primark one - I saw it on Sunday!

My son actually seems to have a Christmas request this year. This is shocking because he is three, autistic and has a severe speech and language delay so I am not even sure he understands the concept of Christmas.

He has gotten very excited about his Playmobil advent calendar and every morning he says to me 'Christmas doors, owl' over and over again. I didn't think he would be able to understand you get the Playmobil pictured on the box but apparently he does and he really wants that owl. Today I had 'owl please, Christmas doors, owl, owl please' on a loop over and over again.

It isn't till day 16 though so we have a long wait. I was sure he would be distracted with yesterday's badgers but it wasn't happening he still just asked for the owl.

Hopefully he should be pleased on Friday as he gets Father Christmas and he is taking a lot of interest in Father Christmas at the moment.

DD wants a unicorn and a trip to the moon, apparently Santa can definitely deliver and I shouldn't doubt him........

RueDeWakening · 04/12/2013 23:45

DD age 6 has requested an apple and a little orange (ie satsuma), plus a Moshi annual, a Moshi book that explains how to get different stuff in the game, and "a code that gives me 8000 rox". Not sure that the last one exists... Xmas Grin She's also asked for a pack of chocolate buttons on behalf of DS2, who is 6 months old.

MoonlightMerrimentandMistletoe · 04/12/2013 23:47

foslady - I may well try that - thank you (will hopefully mean the 'piders' then get painted in more colours than black with red glitter). For some reason spiders are the horror image of choice around here...and nothing is funnier than me jumping when one of them leaps into view unexpectedly...[sigh]

prettyfiestyforasmallone · 05/12/2013 00:02

my 7 year old dd has asked for a pair of crutches! thats all she wants Hmm

PrivatePeaceful · 05/12/2013 00:07

My 3 year old wants a German uniform.

My other 2 boys in the past have asked for Russian nesting dolls and eastenders figures.

Gap in the market? Pat Butcher with changeable earrings, Phil Mitchell with a punching motion.....

A friend's DS used to make up toys every year as he believed santa could make anything, in spite of gentle hints that this was not possible. So he would make up for example, toy tanks that fired marbles and transformed into a giant soldier. Sadly, he never got what quite what he had requested.

scurryfunge · 05/12/2013 00:18

For the past nineteen years DS has always asked for " a surprise". It's infuriating and he is still doing it. He is always happy whatever but it seems he cannot bear to know in advance.

spicegirl13 · 05/12/2013 01:03

Jolly-fantastic thank you, will have a look!

Szeli · 05/12/2013 11:22

Szeli · 05/12/2013 11:25

cherry219 · 05/12/2013 11:30

littleblackno my DS (4) also wants a wishing well, he told the lady in B&Q all about it. I was all Hmm as it was the first I'd heard of it, and asked him what he wanted it for. He said "So I can make wishes". Of course.

A friend's dd of 6 asked for an extension on her outside Wendy house so she could put in a bathroom!!!

spiderlight · 05/12/2013 11:37

This will totally out me, but this year the top item on 6yo DS's list is 'One can of laim green paint'.

A few years ago, out on a dog walk, he got terribly excited because he was convinced we were going to 'the waterfall shop' and he was going to buy his own waterfall and bring it home. I was completely bemused by this until I realised he meant the water treatment works we had to walk past! Major tears and trauma because he couldn't buy a waterfall from there.
