I've made my DC little art tote bags. They are denim with fab Star Wars/Batman material for the pockets. It's filled with lots of drawing stuff. I really hope they like them! I'm still at the barely sewing in a straight line stage so am proud of these little bags. Xmas BlushXmas Grin

DS (12) wanted the Lego Minecraft but each time he checked the Lego website it was out of stock - I think I managed to find the only day they were in stock and ordered it. He will be so pleased as its the only thing he asked for!

Thingymajigs · 24/12/2012 18:47

starfleet my 12 year old also has that for Christmas. When I went to order one it said 'out of stock' but still had the option to buy so I did and it arrived straight away. I couldn't believe how tiny it is for the price. At least it will be fully appreciated especially as my son doesn't think I actually managed to find one.

DD2 (4) really loves the show Madeline on Tiny Pop. They don't have much (if any) merchandise in the UK, but someone was selling an absolutely immaculate Madeline ragdoll on Ebay, and I won it! Can't wait to see her face when she opens it. Xmas Smile

A philharmonicorchestrainnabox Grin.

It's recording software for dh. He won't be allowed to play with it until the 27th, though...

Oh & the kids are getting an Xbox Kinect. Which they will only be allowed to play with if they share it with me!

DDs massive Simba cuddly toy, she is going to faint when she sees the size of it, and it was half price in Disney.

And as much as I hate typing it we have bought DD2 an iPod touch. She has coverted a touch for years and I have always said no, never in a million years will she expect to get one but we got an unexpected bonus this year so......

The best bit is just seeing their faces in the morning, I always have a little tear when they all come rushing in with their sacks and massive grins on their little faces.

Thingy - DS doesn't think he's got one either Smile. I've wrapped it up in the big box it came in so he wouldn't guess - it is pretty small but hopefully he'll be happy with it!

DD is expecting GC1, I have bought her a bump present to go under the tree

Dd has autism and doesnt really like any toys except she has a duplo tiger head she puts on a fork and plays with it for hours. Have managed to find her a vintage duplo panda face to make her a new toy. I have to get creative. She will love it.
