I know it's not a nice way of putting it but you know the sorts of things I mean... Tat that she has fallen for because of the ads not because they will actually be good /have a long play value..
So her list is:
The chill factory frozen yoghurt maker - we already have two, the jelly and slushy which she has used about twice.
Sparkle science - probably going to be messy and unsatisfying and will be a huge pain to do with her as I have 2 small DS's
Some other things like a blow up chair etc.
I have actually bought her:
Felt mermaid scene making set - she found this when she was being nosy though which has taken the shine off it a bit. I'm planning to give it anyway but I kind of feel a bit deflated.
Labyrinth junior game
Magic set - dh bought this, I'm very dubious about its value. I think it will be too hard and bits will get lost. But don't want to return something he bought iyswim.
Eye saw it game ( the Richard scarry one)
Other things I'm considering:
Candy grabber - I stumbled on this, as she's obsessed with them I thought one I'm not always saying no to might be nice! But it's £25 so a bit much for a novelty and as all her presents are looking a bit noveltyesque im thinking no?
Famous places book and tube of statues
At some point she needs / I want her to have a Desk. Not sure if will be Christmas / birthday etc though.
I suppose I'm conscious she doesn't have a "wow" or big gift? But perhaps I'm over thinking it. She doesn't really play with toys, loves craft. What would you do? Any advise for a slightly stressed mum?!
