To ask what you have got / are getting your DC for Christmas?

[JuiceMonsters]

I have two children ages 18 months and three years, I also have two step children ages 8 and 9.

Would anybody mind sharing what they are getting for their similarly aged children? My two are pretty much sorted but I'm struggling with what to get for the boys (step children)

I have an 8yo whose birthday is a week before Christmas. I tend to buy for both then a day or two before split into two piles.

They are getting:-
Keyboard with stand, stool, headphones and a book of learning to play
Digital camera (cheap but not a kids one)
Walkie talkies (Motorola ones not kids ones)
A fleece blanket
New bedding set
A few figurines and characters from a show they like
A Lego set
New pjs
A new outfit for each
Books
Game of Life Boardgame
A jigsaw

(Again, this is to cover both bday and xmas)

Haven't started the boys yet. They're 8 and 3 so it'll be Lego and minecraft stuff for the biggest and probably pj masks toys for the littlest. He also wants a marble run.

I only just managed to hide the Christmas thread. I'd head over there OP. Multiple threads daily about gifts, toys and general Christmas consumerism 🎄

4 year old:
Lego set
Crane Truck
Children's Atlas
Teddy

Nearly 1 year old:
Will also get a book and a teddy, plus a toy from us and a toy from Father Christmas.

I'm a bit stuck on the Father Christmas toy as I'd like to get something wooden (DS1 got a rocking horse his first Christmas, we still use it).

Stocking on the 6th of Jan (Italian) but that's oranges/food/tiny toys.

I have 2 boys who will turn 3 and 5 early in the new year...

5 year old is getting Lego hogwarts express, playmobil carry along policestation, wooden ice cream shop, then some smaller toys he's mentioned.

3 year old has a keyboard, robot dinosaur, playmobil 123 carry along police station, peppa pig play set, dinosaur dress up outfit.

Kitting our the boys room too as they are getting bunk beds.

An orange and a piece of coal.

Ds age 4 is having a trampoline (i am living in hope he will burn off energy!)
Ds age 8 is having a metal detector.

Ds(16) is getting a PS5 as his main present and some stocking fillers. I'll probably wrap a couple of items of clothing he needs anyway to bulk it out.

My 7 year old will be getting-
New bigger bike
Metal water bottle
New pjs & Xmas socks
Small slushie maker
Spare aqua beads
Kids Fitbit style watch
Avengers duvet set
Shark tooth excavation set
R2d2 snood as he prefers those to masks
It's all bought apart from the bike & stockig bits, which will be snacky treats & bath bombs/slimes

Following as I have no idea what to get my twins who are both autistic - think I’ve already bought them every toy in existence to try to get them interested in things.

There are still three of their birthday presents they didn’t unwrap (various puzzles) so I guess that’s some gifts already 😂

Ds 13 a paddle board, very excited about giving it to him! Also has wetsuit and weighted blanket which I will keep for birthday in January. Ds 20 Alexa auto and cash. Already have a few stocking bits for both!

DS who is 2 has:
Peppa pig music set
Toot toot set x2
Mr potato head
Trolley and cash register
Moon baby talking plush (1.99 in home and bargain!!)
Knights castle play set
Car mat with cars
Car loader
Baby doll
Peppa pig hospital play set
Tool bench
Books

(Some of these are presents from others)

Eldest 2 boys are 6 and 8.
Eldest wants a desk and a rug I will get him books, keyrings for his collection, got him a minecraft hoody and duvet cover.
Ds6 loves crystal's so we've got a Crystal encylopedia, excavation kit, grow your own cryatals, grow your own geodes, bath bombs, playdoh and a light thing you touch that makes electricity.okayish
Ds2 loads of toy story stuff, stickers, play doh, gruffalo stuff and they'll all get pens, sweets, craft bits.

My boys are around the same age as your stepchildren, and they are getting

Star Wars dress up stuff

Boys of around 7-10 would love any of the above, it covers a lot of ground if you need ideas.

My 9year old is getting a bike, for her main, and some family board games- over lockdown, we found family games so so vital to our bonding and relaxing as a family, that I've resolved to always include a new one at every birthday/ Christmas.

So far ds has got a computer game thing which you attach to the tv (like a console but more like an arcade set up) and theatre tickets for dd.

Those two things have cost the same ish but might get some other little things and obviously stockings.

Vtech toys
Bing
Building sets
Play animals
In the night garden bits

My 7 year old is getting

Harry Potter book set
A coding set

They both get a stocking each too with some decent bits and pieces.
