DD (9) doesn't have a list nor know what she wants!

I was thinking of a wireless speaker for her phone, some crafty bits, bath bombs etc.

I have a baby boy also and he will have a token couple of things like maybe a keepsake moneybox or something?

What are you getting your DCs?

Dog toys and treats.

Socks and an orange

Play kitchen! She loves small plastic food haha.

Asda have a great one for less than £35 :)

My DS turned 4 just last week so he already got toys that he's been wanting and now I'm unsure of what to get him for Christmas, but no doubt it will be something Marvel... he's Superhero mad

We picked up a load of paw patrol toys in Facebook marketplace (paw patroller, control tower etc) for our 4 year old dd, which will be her Santa present. Will her her a stocking with a few bits and a couple of small presents from us too. For one year old ds we’ve got the toot toot pirate ship from Santa, and again will do a stocking and a couple of presents from us

PS4 as the main present for me DH 11yo 9yo. Some toys too as I’m not having a Christmas without toys! But also they are hopefully getting their rooms painted and so maybe things like geeky cushions will be included.

My comment was meant to have  face after.....got lost.

Dd 10- shopkins, a chemistry set and heelys

Dd 8- heelys, hatchimal and a bike

I'm very poor and have saved for ages to get this stuff (the chemistry set and bike are second hand), am always amazed and slightly downhearted by these threads. Kids get so much now, at such a young age. I fear that come the teen years I will be completely unable to match their peers in any way.

DD 8
Adidas stuff
TV and steam link so she can game in her room
Pomsie
Wrapple
Harry Potter Lego
LOL surprise
More LOL
Even more LOL

If that’s how you feel whycantyouusethephone then I’m surprised you’re getting DD8 both heelys AND a bike. Second hand or not, seems like overkill to me - in my opinion they are both a “main” present. Why not save the bike for her birthday?
Please don’t say it’s because the second hand bike costs same as shopkins or whatever... that’s not what it’s about.

DD who will be 10 months, as weird as this sounds....a ukulele. She loves her grandpa's guitar and it's around the same price as a toy one except we'll be able to play songs to her on it (as well as watch her strum etc) as it's a proper musical instrument.

That's all she's getting off us, as it's 1st Christmas she'll have loads of stuff from family so we didn't want to go ott.

Ordered this today for main present direct.asda.com/george/toys-character/wooden-toys/wooden-deluxe-kitchen-and-cooking-set/050212369,default,pd.html?cmpid=ppc--george-------_-dskwid-s92700035034790085_dm&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1JXY4q-d3gIVDluGCh3gfwF1EAQYBCABEgKt1_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CMjs6Oavnd4CFRLV1QoduXAAtg and will get some Hey Duggee things too. For our almost 2 year old :)

I’ve spent years buying mounds of stuff for my kids and now learnt the error of my ways. I’ve been very clear on the two presents each, because actually they don’t need or want more and I’d rather they learn now how to enjoy the intended spirit of the day.

I wish you and your DDs a really lovely Xmas. Good to know my 10yr old DD isn’t the only science enthusiast!

Xbox (as apparently they are the only DC in the world without a console)
Also thinking about a Lucky Voice karaoke app subscription
