Dd (6)

They'll also get about £100 each spent on them by their GPs.

I saw this rhyme a couple years ago and follow that

Something they want
Something they need
Something to wear
Something to read.

For DS(3) that will be a big dinosaur teddy, new slippers, an item of clothing and a book.

We've got a big family of grandparents, uncles, aunts etc so we try not to go overboard or it all just gets lost/forgotten/overwlheming on Christmas Day.

The lists have changed a bit today. Kids have been browsing websites. DD would like:

• Clothes (hoodie, trackies, t shirt, underwear, socks, hat, pyjamas)
• Sports kit (shorts, 2x shirts, trainers, socks)
• Rounders kit, football
• Books, earrings, cd

Ds1:

• Clothing (hoodie, 3x tops, jeans, underwear, socks, onesie)
• Trainers, books, DVDs, cd, football, construction kit, lego

Ds2(11):

• Clothing (hoodie, top, jeans, socks, underwear, pyjamas, gloves)
• Loads of Lego, DVDs, cd, posters, lava lamp
• Football kit & football
• Sweets (only child who likes them!)

DS birthday is around December and I am taking him away for his birthday, so I would be broke as fuck.

So for Christmas I'm getting him a new scooter, Lego Star Wars or City and the Yokai watch (one of his favourite TV shows)

My dd will be 9mo. She is getting a rocking elephant thing (2nd hand cost me £5) and maybe a kids armchair (£30)

Dd will be 8 on christmas eve so for bday we have bought her a stunt scooter and a kidizoom action cam as she wants to be a vlogger

For christmas she wants a gaming pc, so she can be like DanTDM and we have got her a few my little pony stocking fillers.

10 & 8.

So far, a rubiks cube each.

Will probably splurge on a chessington annual family pass too. I'm sick of stuff and clutter.

Perdit, they are in different sections so I can get different answers. It doesn't affect you, does it?

DD (13)
Trainers
Assortment of clothes

I have felt that we haven't got much - but I think this is because they haven't got a gadget or big, main present this year so it feels less. They all have lots of lovely things though, and im sure they will all be really happy.
