would it be odd to put a box of

[supermariossister]

krave cereal on the children's bed. they are always asking me to buy it and I rarely do because it's so expensive or does it sound a bit naff/strange

I don't think it's weird. I was thinking about getting my three dc a box of their favourite cereal to go in their stocking. I think they will think it is funny that Father Christmas has given them something different.

It's things like rubbish cereal which prove that FC is real - clearly it can't be Mummy buying it because she is a miserable grump and says it is too sugary and a waste of money.

I feel reassured now . and craving sugar!

Mine still talk about the year they got big bottles of Ribena in different flavours. This year it's hot chocolate, milkshake powder and some weird peanut butter hot drink DS will just love. YYY to food in stockings!

My three are all getting round pots of lucky charm cereal in their stockings this year bought at insane price from Selfridges food hall. If that doesn't prove that Santa is real, nothing will!

I've got dp some of that issy peanut hottie. hope he likes it. glad food in stockings is accepted, loved lucky charms too. too many choices

We get treat foods for stocking or stuff we like but rarely buy husband always has pickled eggs in his!! This year also got him some nice mini jams rather than the cheap crap he buys!!

Ds will get a massive 750gm jar nutella we found on offer in Morrison today.

:) these are great ideas

Great idea.

We will be having selection pack for breakfast.

The pound shop currently have those little round pots of Lucky Charms. Still expensive for a single serving of cereal, but for a one off it's fine

id love to try lucky charms again i wonder if i would like them as much as i did when i was small :D

I'm stealing that idea, the dc are always pestering for me to buy Krave. Think FC can bring one box, they're not getting a box each! He's also bringing them instant hot chocolate sachets now I've discovered ds is ok with the wispa ones (no sweetners)

glad to be of help he's only bringing a box each as they are 3 for £6 in Asda haha.

FC always brings my dc a box of sugary shit in a box Frosties.

One of our biggest family traditions was always having our favourite breakfast, it still is! Bake your own pain au chocolat, sugary crappy cereal as kids, then smoked salmon and scrambled eggs as adults. With Buck's Fizz.

DH wanted bacon butties, til I pointed out he'd have to clean up after frying the bacon before he could do dinner. The mess he makes with bacon!

Even more thanks- there's on just up the road!

VikingLady it is bacon sandwiches (DH & dc) or bacon and egg (me) with Buck's Fizz for Christmas Day breakfast - it's most wrong when we stay with DPs and they do bacon but not Buck's Fizz!

got my boxes of krave today .
