Wannabe

I am so pleased for your ds1. I hope you all have a really good time.

NannyPlum where did you get Peppa Pig toothpaste?

Oh and also box of Lego and a playmobil spy jet.

spooked the £1 shop or 99p shops tend to do character toothpaste - seen moshi monsters, spongebob, tatty teddy not spotted peppa but would guess they might have done it!

Dd is 10 & I've got her a hudl & a furby as her main gifts.
Little bits & stocking is earrings, make up, shambala bracelet making kit, 1d bag & pencil case.

Doesn't sound much when you write it down but I'm a LP & money is really tight this year!

Ds is almost 2 & he's got a scooter, car transporter & cars, etch a sketch, aqua doodle not finished his stocking yet! He has a birthday 6 weeks after Christmas so already got his main birthday present of a little battery ride on quad thing.. In the Argos 3 for 2 deal.

Ds1 (2.9)
Big ride on tractor as his main under the tree gift.
Then for his stocking:
Thomas puzzles x2
Thomas dominoes
Books
Thomas apron
Hot Wheels cars
Crafty bits
Plus a few more silly bits yet to be purchased.

DS2 (12 months & who has just had a birthday AND who us much harder to buy for because he has all his brothers stuff to play with too!)

Activity table as his main gift.
Stocking:
Shape sorter
A lovely story compendium
Some little push and go cars
And then I'm stumped and struggling not to buy for the sake if it - we have lots of friends and family who buy for both boys!?!

spooked I bought my son's peppa pig toothpaste at a big Tesco. It's bubblegum flavoured and purple and smells utterly vile, but he loves it HTH.

rainbow I think those are really generous gifts for a 10 yo! My friend's dd is a little younger than yours and is getting a furby and a baby Annabel, and then just earrings and stocking bits. Honestly, I think that sounds really lovely and well thought out. X

There are going to be hardly any presents for them to open and I'm halfway between feeling bad about it and not caring because last year they had far too much stuff and nowhere to put it! There just wasn't a lot left to spend after the main presents were bought so I've done the best i can with what I had.

DS 4.3 has an acer tablet, and will also be getting bits for it (headphones, case etc) in the sales and playmobil pirate ship.

he also has a hot hugz tiger (microwave wheat bag thingy)
