Most unusual Christmas present request?

[Igglepiggleandhisboat]

(I’ve already typed this but for some reason it wouldn’t upload so apologies if this appears twice. I’m trying to cheer myself up whilst waiting for some results)

what’s the most unusual Christmas present your DC have asked for?
my DD asked for a purple dinosaur that goes in the bath when she was two but no dinosaur we casually showed her was the one she was talking about. Eventually found one in the pound shop which was the one she had meant apparently!
this year she has asked for a typewriter?!

Re the moon, lunar meteorite is very nice, and relatively affordable compared to the stuff brought here via lunar missions.

DD wanted a trip in the Tardis. DH changed my name on his contacts to The Doctor and I sent a message saying he was too far away and very busy. DH's phone still lists me as The Doctor. DD is 20 now

@onwardandupwards p.s. not from the moon, but still spacey: You can buy other meteorites that aren't lunar. The iron ones with a Widmanstätten pattern look cool and might meet your DD's demands. They start at about £20 (lunar at about £50).

Too cute @BeyondMyWits

We went to the aquarium in Palma, Majorca before heading to the airport. It had a brilliant thing where your kid could colour in a fish or seahorse on paper. You then scanned it in a special machine and then your drawing came to life and was projected on a big screen.....DD was so excited to see her seahorse swimming around in the sea.

A flying horse.

We found a playmobil Pegasus thank goodness

Chattering teeth

I hope you have better luck with your DS than I did! Thinking about this, I might just buy a cheap battery one to throw in his stocking for a giggle, just for old time's sake🤣

Dare I ask why? 😂

Traffic lights - real ones

First visit to Father Christmas and all my daughter wanted was a box of chocolate fingers

I forgot that last year we were in a hotel and our twelve year old fell in love with the cereal dispenser.

she was absolutely made up on Christmas morning when we got her one!

A baby elephant.
I checked but they were out of stock

You have the ski slope by the Trafford Centre.

A real giraffe - my DS then aged 6.

A box of plasters! She stuck them all over her and was delighted. That was when she was five, she's thirty now and still remembers the year she had the plasters 😁

A pair of garden shears and a bottle of Cillit Bang. Think she was about 7. I've still got that list.

I love this!!!

A lobster and a pumpkin
I bought toy ones but apparently she'd meant real ones !!

A chainsaw. He was 9 at the time.

The first year my DS was old enough to articulate what he wanted, he asked for a roll of binbags. That was easily sorted and he forgot he'd asked for them on Christmas morning and was confused. Still, useful to have spares.

This year is more challenging. He's asked for a squishy ball covered in 'grimps' (????) and when you squish it, white things poke out of it. He can't describe the white things. Apparently one of his friends has one and we had a slightly stressful time trying to find such a ball online this afternoon.

Assumed he meant those balls covered in nets where you squeeze them and it bulges through the holes- NOPE (no grimps!) Thought a grimp might, in fact, be a GRINCH, so showed him pictures of balls with grinches on (too scary!) So I'm stuck. If anyone has any ideas what this ball covered in grimps with non-descript white protrusions could possibly be, I'd be eternally grateful.

🤣🤣🤣🤣. ❤️❤️

My DD2 once asked for an umbrella hat and a bin for Christmas. She must’ve been 8?

now she’s 20 all she’s asked for is a shampoo brush 🤷‍♀️

My four year old just wants '100 million presents'. Doesn't seem fussed what they are.

Dd when she was 5 at the school Christmas party. I got told she was disappointed with her Santa present (a Tinkerbell bag) as she'd wanted a diamond bracelet.
Still has expensive taste in her 20s!
