Guinness book of records for massively dyslexic 11yo DS, maybe a book on fimo techniques too. He doesn't enjoy reading, so unfortunately books aren't really much of a present for him.

Fuzzpig totally off topic but did you know Lush do a bath bomb here that when dd had it in her bath she was convinced it was a Starry Night representation. Maybe your dd would like it too?

My dd is hoping for that in her stocking.

DD is 11.6 and an avid reader:
so far-
Micheal Morpurgo Christmas Stories (she got a box set last year and loved them)
Twilight books

DS is 14 and not a reader
so far-
Ripleys Believe It or Not book
F in exams (from Hawkins Bazaar)

Thinking about annuals. They are so expensive though, I'm looking for special offers out there.
They were something I remembered from my long ago youth [tchblush]

DS (10):

and others which I can't remember at the moment - had a bit of a blitz on the Book People. DS is an avid reader so we need loads to keep him going.

70 we aren't getting annuals for my DCs yet as I don't think they'll use them, but DH has got me the famous five one this year :o I still have one from 1997 when they did the tv series.

Thanks for the link insanity, those are cute! I'm trying a lush thing with DS soon (he has eczema so most bath things are ruled out, and they still bathe together) and if it is ok then I'll definitely get one for DD!
