Some background, we live in France, parents live in Portugal so presents usually need sending, we rarely spend the day together. They always ask for suggestions as they don't see the kids that often, don't knw their tastes (latest fads), or what they already have. So, I propose a long list of options in varying price brackets, mostly Playmobil as in my thinking not only will my kids love it, it is easily found everywhere. Well since they asked i've had none stop mails asking shoud they get a bike for my DS, or lorries, or something else, and what would DD like? Erm, Playmobil, as i said when you asked first time round. Now it"s turned to 'it's impossible for us to order from a website outside of Portugal', Why this would be i'm not sure, but anyway, benefit of the doubt. Next thing i get, 'but there aren't any real toy shops here'. I feel like screaming 'just don't get anything then', AIBU? Now I don't necessarily expect presents of any description, but when they themselves ask why do they have to make such a palaver of it? Have i unwittingly asked for the moon on a stick ? Perspective required, please!
