Against my better judgement (suspect it will be crap quality) have got mine a Kung zhu playset and corresponding hamsters and battle armour.

Also Wii Sports Resort and a couple of other things

...but I need to even things up with his sister (she has more than him currently) - so would love to see what you are getting your 6 year old ds (it might give me some ideas!)

hmc did you know Wii Sports Resort comes with a motion plus thingy to plug into your existing Wii remote? Did you also know to play some of the two player games you will need to buy another motion plus to plug into your other Wii remote?

Just making sure you don't get caught out on Xmas day like we did last year!

Oblomov · 23/11/2010 21:21

christ. I am astonished at how much you buy your ds's.
ds1(6.10) gets one nintendo ds game. last christmas it was star wars. £9.99 from e-bay.
he has 8 aunties and uncles and 2 grandma's so he gets star wars pyjamas, t-shirts, dvd's etc.
This year he has asked for lego star wars figures. he wants obi-wan-kanobi. boba and jango fett. cost about £30.
he asked my mum for a new lightsabre.
that kid is happy.
am truley astonished at the list you guys are buying. assuming you are spending £200-300.

Surely I am not he only one who doesn't go mad ?

whoknowswhatthefutureholds · 23/11/2010 21:35

Don't worry Oblomov you're not alone! (though I get a lot from chazza shops)

bigchris · 23/11/2010 21:38

Oblomov - so the £30 star wars figures are from fc? Do you bother with a stocking ?
My six yr old is getting ben 10 action figures, 2 ds games in his stocking and then little stuff to make the stocking up

woodchuck · 23/11/2010 21:42

my ds is also 7.

This year he is getting:
A Ben 10 ultimatrix (to go with the 5 other ben 10 watches he has collected over the years.
Lego Harry Potter for Xbox
Harry Potter Cluedo
Enid Blyton and Narnia books

I may also be tempted into buying him Dumbledore's Elder wand but I may be able to pass that idea onto a family member

fridayschild · 23/11/2010 21:44

DS1 and 2 are 6 and 7 and would feel a bit hard done by if they saw all this!

DS1 will get a huge lego kit (about £40) from me

DS2 will get something I haven't thought of yet(!). He wants his own ipod...

In their stockings will be
club penguin book from the book people
stickers
craft thing - pipe cleaners for one of them
candy cane
glitter glue pens
tangerine
chocolate
and a couple of pocket money toys

DS2 got battle hamsters for his birthday. I like the noises they make, I think they're funny.

Desiderata · 23/11/2010 21:46

I spend a fortune on mine! I've only got the one, though.

He wants a metal detector, and after that four year old kid found a £2.5M brooch, I can't say I'm going to deny him!

twolittlekings · 23/11/2010 21:50

My Ds is nearly 6 and he will be getting:

Jigsaw puzzle
Transformer that turns into a car
HM forces action man (!)

MmeBucket · 23/11/2010 21:53

UnquietDad · 23/11/2010 21:54

DS (7) getting 39 Clues books and others, Doctor Who annual, some Wii games (the Mario Olympics one and Harry Potter), and his big present will be one of these babies... which he is going to have a hard time keeping me away from. Just like DD with her Dalek 5 years ago :)

Desiderata · 23/11/2010 21:56

Good luck with that, UQD. They last about five minutes!

UnquietDad · 23/11/2010 21:57

Won't necessarily be that particular model... DW has been scouting out the best ones...

Desiderata · 23/11/2010 21:58

.. wise move.
