Christmas or birthday present?

Dd will be 4 on Saturday.
In the past, we haven't even thought about presents really for either her birthday or christmas, mainly because we haven't had time nor been organised enough, with a little bit of "everyone else buys her loads"

But one of my friends suggested buying presents when you see them reduced, so that you don't have to worry about presents when you nees to buy them.

I might have ended up buying 4 or 5 "big" presents. (I bought a peppa pig fairground ride for 20 quid in august, a cuddly twilight sparkle half price in sept, a happyland dinoaaur set half price last month)
But she really wants "a phone" and I found a really cheap tablet.
Now we're struggling with having these presents and not knowing when to give them to her!
She's only 4 ffs, and these are massive presents!

She's also being really whiney about both her birthday and christmas - suddenly learning that presents are involved....
My mum and dad are visiting for the weekend, and ahe knows her birthday is when they get here.

I don't want her to feel entitled to any of this.

Lots of blathering just to ask - wwyd - tablet for birthday or christmas?

(In the interest of not dripfeeding - she keeps borrowing our phones to watch youtube and play stupid kids' games and it'll be lovely to have sole ownership of our own devices again)

hippo I also think you misunderstood.
She didn't get only a pair of pants - that was just all she was allowed to open before her dad got home from work! Grin
Plus, I made them (I do that for a living these days) so they were very special
