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?

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!

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

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

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!

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. Xmas Sad

Cooki3Monst3r · 22/12/2014 23:25

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

HerrenaHarridan · 23/12/2014 00:31

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

HerrenaHarridan · 23/12/2014 00:32

The picture of the dog is AMAZING

MummyPig24 · 23/12/2014 05:47

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.

dobedobedo · 23/12/2014 06:03

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

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.

Tipsykisses · 23/12/2014 08:24

I'm Looking forward to seeing my Ds open a huge box that contains an xbox live card Grin
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 Winex

iseenodust · 23/12/2014 14:17

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!

YourHandInMyHand · 25/12/2014 23:04

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

ForkieForkie · 26/12/2014 08:24

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