I have finished buying for dd2, have got her quite a bit (mostly things she has been asking for over the past 2 months) but now she has asked for something totally different. Dd2 has ASD and gets very obsessive about things but she loves playing with most thing so I have bought her a range of things including the Moshi Monster Mall (which she still wants), some playmobil , some lego friends (small sets) and some bongo drums (as she loves drums), but now she has become totally obsessed with pokemon because this is what her sister is obsessed with and has asked for a pokemon carry case and some figures.

So do I just buy her the case and figures and maybe put one of the other things back for her birthday (in March)?

Do I not buy her the case and make her sister share her pokemon figures (which she has asked for for Christmas)?

Do I buy her the case but not the figures and let her use Christmas money to buy the figures? (though she may not understand this on Christmas day and may get upset)?

Next year I shall leave the shopping until later and avoid the bargain threads Grin.

I'm in a similar situation and have decided to not change the things I've got. Children don't need to get everything that they've asked for, I used to do it at 2 and 3 but not now she is 6.

I also have a pokemon obsessed daughter, I'm afraid I don't find the voices cute at all!

Having worked with kids with ASD I'd get the Pokemon & either return stuff or keep for her birthday.
