Mine do not have any requests, which is a first.

DD1 just tells me she can't think of anything and DD2 just wants 'surprises'.

I shall keep an eye on things they seem interested in and pick up some bits and pieces for them, but neither of them will have a 'big' present it seems this year.

Dd2 wants a few my little pony things.

Dd1 doesn't want anything as she has everything and has no room for anything else.

They've both made noises about 3ds's though so they're getting them along with a whole pile of other stuff I know they will like.

Dd1 is 16 two days after christmas, I feel your pain the others who are having to double up. So far she's asked for a dog (no, dh is allergic) a cat (no dh is even more allergic) and gene testing to see if she's likely to develop cancer/ms dtc (no that's just odd).

She would be happy with fleecy socks and some nice tea to be fair.

DSs 15 and 14 - still waiting on the requests :(

There are no "big ticket" items they want. DS1 has suggested maybe a new keyboard and mouse. I suspect DS2 wants a giant Steam voucher or cash but he'd be disappointed with nothing to open on Christmas day.

So far I've bought new phone cases, The Guinness Book of records and the gamers edition and the the Ripleys book and I've pre ordered two (gaming) Z boxes and a pair of pyjamas each.

I'm normally nearly finished by now!

DD (17) PS4 and Fallout 4. She's contributed to the console cost, but might give her it back yet.

DS (will be 7 just before so birthday and Christmas). Like another poster, basically anything that is advertised: Lego Dimensions and sets, Disney Infinity, bloody Terraria playset that looks like tat and cost £65, Minecraft Lego, there's more, but I can't be bothered to write it all down.

BaconAndAvocado · 07/11/2015 12:50

DS1 (17) money

DS2 (9) Lego, Lego and more Lego

DD (7) no idea whatsoever...........

Pengweng · 07/11/2015 14:45

Every single thing they see on TV. But really one DT wants a sing along Elsa doll and the other wants a twirling skirt Cinderella. That's really all they have asked for along with some dressing up stuff. They are only 3 though i expect once they start seeing all the stuff they could have at their friends houses once they start school next year they will want quite a bit more. Grin This year we are going low key.

INeedACheeseSlicer · 07/11/2015 17:16

Mine won't say. So far I have only raised the subject casually a few times, within a conversation about what we are going to buy for other people. But they can't tell me anything about what they want as then it won't be a surprise.

NutCrackerSlacker · 07/11/2015 18:06

DD (7) wants roller skates, a kiddy camera,arty and crafty stuff, Nevergirls books

DS (10) wants Minecraft lego, a new DSi games (can't remember name! eek!) and some fact/trivia books (Guinness Book of Records, Ripley Believe it Or Not annual etc)

Somethingpink · 07/11/2015 18:17

DS 10 Is wanting to get the Xbox one and the new minecraft story mode, iv agreed but there won't be much else.

DD 7 is after anything barbie, Disney descendants or ever after high and an iPad mini.

DD just turned 2 doesn't understand so we've decided on the ikea duktig kitchen and Melissa and Doug food to go with it.

WhenTheDragonsCame · 08/11/2015 09:50

DD1(13) wants EVERYTHING! Including all of the youtubers books, an ipad, a stunt scooter, clothes, boots ect ect

Pobspits · 11/11/2015 11:14

Thanks kazza

MummyPig24 · 11/11/2015 11:17

Ds2 is 20 months so too little to care but I think he will be thrilled with a "choo choo".

Dd is 5 and hasn't really asked for anything except doh Vinci stuff so she's got a set from ds1.

Ds1 has only asked for twister so he's got that from dd.

Noideatobehad · 11/11/2015 11:47

ds1 (nearly 17) wants some upgrades for his pc, fallout 4 and a steam voucher
ds2 (14) wants fifa 16 for the xbox
dd1 (10) wants a dragon book and minecraft stuff
dd2 (9) wants jurassic world stuff

they are getting those things and then some other goodies

zipzap · 11/11/2015 11:50

Ds1 is 10 and wants lots of expensive things - like an xbox or playstation, but still wants some playmobil, toy cars and other things that remind me he's still little. I'm ignoring the 'million pounds of money' that's also on the list as it's on my list too but I don't think I'm going to get it either Grin

ds2 is 7 and has a very sweet list. He wants the new skylanders (he had them last year and has played with them a lot, both on the wii and using the characters as games that he plays on the floor and that spread through the house. Next he wants a 'signed photo of you' - ie he wants to see what the real santa looks like. He also wants 3 different versions of monopoly Xmas Hmm - the Beano version (he's mad about the Beano), the new Brands version and he's also spotted a print your own version... We already have the original game so I'm loathe to buy any really but I think I might have to get one. He also drew a word search underneath his list for santa as a game for him to play to give him a bit of a break, and the answers (upside down!) in case he couldn't work it out Grin.

DD2 has finally come up with something she'd like.

One of those apple peeler/slicer gadgets.

Um, ok dd2. If you like.

What do your DCs want for Christmas this year?
