They also always get matey bubbles, box of santas friends, a tree decoration, choc coins and a toothbrush but I havent bought those yet. Oh, nor the satsumas!

Their main presents were £30ish each but stockings seem to be totalling at more, always do this and every year say I wont get so carried away with stockings...

I have bought my 5 year old boy charge : gooey louie, lego sticker book, usborne sticker book - trains/trucks/tractors and a power ranger costume.

Wow. Can't remember my Dcs getting as much as the above posts when they were little.
However, so far have got:

Oh and for unborn baby due week before Christmas, gender unknown, some bath toys and a mirror toy for tummy time

Wow! Your children are all very lucky :)
I have birthdays on the 15 and 19/12, so each DS gets one big (by our standards) present for each plus one biggish one from Father Christmas.

DS1 5 on his birthday: Playmobil Pirate Ship
Christmas: A radio CD player and some CDs
Father Christmas: Not sure yet, either a robot or something Imaginext

Smaller presents (I will give a few for Christmas and more for his Birthday): Mega Blocks Police Vehicles set (bargain at 9.90!), Mister Maker Craft set, 2 Imaginext vehicles bought v cheaply on Amazon, Playmo British soldiers boat, Playmo dinosaur set (another Amazon bargain), A big set of colouring stuff, Horton DVD, The Jolly Christmas postman book

Smaller presents: Playdoh set, Playmo 123 bin lorry, A few books, Timmy Time DVD

I am struggling for DS2 as he has all of his brother's old toys to play with too!

DD (3) is getting a kiddizoom camera (thanks to bargain thread) and a mini mouse umbrella (her request) and thats the extent of my shopping so far!

There is a book she has her eye on and keeps mentioning and I will probably get that as well as some chocolate coins, play doh, colouring books and felt tips for her stocking.

DS (almost 9 )

Fairy Dust necklace

Both have torches, cheap watches and yard long jellybeans for stockings.

Big present this year is the new Wii U for all the family, so no other big gifts planned.

DS1 and DS2 each get basically the same thing (two years' age difference and hell to pay if one gets something and the other does not - apart from big presents which obviously are shared!).

This year they are getting:

Vtech camera
Laser blaster
Science museum robot-making kit
Small Lego kit (Monster Fighters)
Hot Wheels car
Craft set
Annual (Beano / haven't decided yet) and books

Plus selection box and stockings. I have got everything apart from DS2's annual which is just as well as I have reached my Christmas shopping budget! Including stockings it's come in at about £100 each which I am pleased with.

Am sat here in amazement at how much stuff you are all getting your dcs do they really need all this stuff?, commercialism gone mad to be honest. Have four dcs aged 19-12, and have never bought them as much stuff as most posters on here, do they need it?, will they play with it?, will make make you skint?

DD will be 17 months

loads of happyland playset stuff including fold out mat/storage box (bought half price in sales throughout the year)
mickey camera
a few board/sound books
remote minnie mouse car
pop up toaster set
little people bath foam stickers
duplo lego
crayola tadoodles/tabard
first elc jigsaws
sesame st toys (eg cars and figures)
sesame st rockin ernie and grover mic to go with her birthday presents earlier in the year
2 massive ducks (god knows how she will fit in the bath with them!)

I also arranged a visit from mickey mouse a days before christmas. plus helium christmas balloons as she loves the ones on her birthday. Lots of christmassy clothes for wearing throughout december.

Bought a fantastic bargain today for DD from asda, Snowflake the cat - I think its Animagic or summat.

Reduced from £30 to £15!! Fab!

aw moonblushtomato that is so sweet. It reminds me of a soft toy Ive had from I was a baby. A cat we named snowflake.

I rarely buy toys except for birthdays and Christmas so they don't already have too much and I have shopped carefully, not paying full price for anything so far. If I had four children they probably wouldn't have so much purely from a space to store everything perspective but a pile of toys on Christmas morning has always been the norm here and was in my childhood too. Judging by this thread it's not uncommon anywhere else either.

We have finished our 2 daughters apart from getting 1 DVD which is not out yet.

Playmobil vet clinic
Playmobil vet operating room
Playmobil family boat
Talking Horrid Henry doll
Furreal friends go go pup

Post box shape sorter

They are also getting joint present of super play-doh set

Think that is plenty as they also get gifts from other family members.

My mum is getting them a joint gift of wooden dolls house with furniture and dolls. Plus she is getting eldest the playmobil camper van and the youngest jumping in muddy puddles Peppa pig doll.

My sister in law/bro are getting them some Pyjamas.

Partner's sister is getting eldest scooby doo figures and the youngest some duplo.

Then they usually end up with money from other relatives which we will get them to save for something for the garden or for tickets for a day out somewhere.
