If you have finished your christmas shopping... which gift are you most excited about giving??

[itsnotjustastick]

my dd is 11 and has had it pretty rough this year.

I have bought her a beautiful silver ring online for £14.99 and its arrived. Its perfect for her, its so beautiful and elegant and just perfect for her.

I know she will be moved to tears since its her first jewellery. I just cant wait to see her face!

What about you?

[ForkieForkie]

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. Good present to get to keep but that's not how you want Christmas to go.

[YourHandInMyHand]

Well I dumped the boyfriend and kept the present for myself, I've rather enjoyed it despite my low mood!

[lucysmam]

Sooooo, how did the gifts go down!?

Dd1 is thrilled with her Anna dress, keeps telling me how pleased she is that I got it right

Dd2's less enthusiastic but I will bloody get her in it today if it kills me!!


Happy christmas everyone

DS (3) has recently discovered Lego and really enjoyed the film so I've bought him a starter pack and a few of those individual packs that build specific vehicles with people. I know he will be over the moon!

[iseenodust]

Dingit love the painting.
Also impressed with the handmade hippo.

DB is getting Star Wars light sabre BBQ tongs from us !

[Tipsykisses]

I'm Looking forward to seeing my Ds open a huge box that contains an xbox live card
He's been told no all year so he will be ecstatic about getting it .

Dd is getting VIP 1D tickets that she thinks were sold out .

I've tried really hard to make Christmas special for the dc this year as they & I spent most of Christmas sobbing last year due to losing our much loved pup to rainbow bridge on Boxing Day morning .

Here's to a good Christmas all round x

[dobedobedo]

I got my mum a steam cleaner. sounds boring but she will absolutely LOVE it. it's a polti, mn recommended .

Also ds1 is 9 and he's wanted a MIP all year. Can't wait to see his face.

I got dp some pretty cool gifts he's not expecting too.

I love Christmas.

[MummyPig24]

Dds Elsa dress that ds1 is giving her.
Ds1 will love the batman goggles in his Santa sack, and I hope he will be excited about the ninja turtles stuff he's got.

The picture of the dog is AMAZING

[HerrenaHarridan]

I've got dd a dolls house. I've lovingly painted and assembled it will have some furniture and people in it when I wrap it.

She is going to love it, I suspect her other presents won't get a look in

[Cooki3Monst3r]

Window how lovely!!! I would love a piano for us all to learn on. So would the DCs. Just need a bigger house!!

[Cooki3Monst3r]

Hi OP sorry to hear your dd has had a hard time. Hope she loves her ring!!

I can't wait to see my little ds face when he opens his big wooden farm, with animals and tractors. It is perfect and he'll spend hours on it!

V worried about dd. She didn't have any ideas or requests other than daft little things (some of which she's got). We got her a big traditional wooden dolls house. I've seen her swoon over this kind of thing before in shops, but I am really worried that after 10 minutes it just won't be very exciting for her.

[TheWindowDonkey]

A piano. I'm so excited about it as its really for all of us, thoug dd planted, the idea in our brains months ago and we told her there was no way we could afford one. The kids have other presents and we are saving the Piano until almost the very end of the day and then we'll move it into the living room whilst they are out at church and it will be there when they get back. I'm SOOO excited as i have wanted to learn for years and never thought i'd be able to. My lovely mum and DH's parents have paid for most of it for us, it feels like a huge treat, and i love that we'll be learning something together!

[cheapandcheerful]

I can't wait to see my 2yo dd's face when she unwraps her Little Tikes car!

[Beaverfeaver2]

Formula 1 tickets for DH.
He will be very surprised as they are lots of money but he will love it

[itsnotjustastick]

ahh bless thats lovely x

[NorahBone]

My MIL fosters and in the last few days has had a little girl placed with her who hasn't had the best start in life and is quite delayed, developmentally. I got her a couple of really fancy electronic toys in a second hand shop: a Vtech sing and discover piano and some talking stacking animals.
Only trouble is I think my 1yo thinks they're his now!

[HellKitty]

Insanityscratching, one year I got my young son about 40 yu-gi-oh figures all from China (and probably full of lead). I put them all in a posh shoebox and that was him for the rest of the holidays! I hope you son loves his dragons half as much!

[HellKitty]

I'VE FINISHED!!!

does a happy dance<
I'm now more excited at some ludicrously expensive Vivienne Westwood undercrackers for DP. They now sell the Japanese import ones in the shop and are stupidly overpriced but hey, he'll be happy.

[velourvoyageur]

oh I'm so glad it is one of my favourite things ever
I got mine for my 11th birthday! Also this wish I'd known your dd then because I was 60s mad too. She sounds very cool!

[insanityscratching]

Ooh thank you velour I'll put that book in my Amazon basket it's full of songs that she knows and sings as well. She might be 11 but she's mad about music from the sixties and seventies and has been since she was a tot.

[velourvoyageur]

insanity a digital piano, that is amazing, incredible present!
(I love mine)
if you want some fairly easy sheet music, I really recommend this big Beatles book which is great fun to play through & very easy. Once she's learnt some basic chords and can sightread c major scale she'll be able to play lots of stuff from it.

[lucysmam]

This thread's lovely! I hope everything has the reaction we're hoping for on Thursday

[insanityscratching]

I've bought dd2 a digital piano, she is music mad and so her own piano and lessons in the new year is her idea of heaven. She has no idea and so expect squeals Christmas morning.
Ds3 is obsessed with dragons (autism) and I've bought him a model of his all time favourite dragon from the Final Fantasy games. I'll get one of those all too rare smiles for that one I think.
