I love these lists, especially the ones with similar ages to my own kids, but I love the glimpse into the future seeing what the teens are getting, too

I don't see the point in comparing, though, everyone's got different situations and motivations for doing things the way they do and you can't possibly tell what these are from a list.

I love the competitive frugalness. Only in Britain. Mine are of course only getting a lump of coal and if they are very lucky they will be allowed a mince pie. To share. [santa]

Really the youngest is too small to care but is getting things so the eldest doesn't get upset.

Sweets and chocolate for DS8 & DD4

Then they get new clothes for Christmas Day and Boxing Day and Christmas Eve pyjamas and slippers!!

They both got new Dr Martens last week too as part of Christmas gifts but want them to get the use out of them.
They will also get presents from DD, DMIL & FIL. My DB1 and my DB2 visited last week and gave them their presents do they can see them enjoying them.

If I'm being honest .... There is loads more but I can't remember .... I buy throughout the year and anticipate what they would like .... Disabled DS. is very easy to buy for and his tastes haven't changed for 4 years.

They don't get pocket money yet nor do they any gifts throughout the year. Do these are their toys until April and August.
We also don't go many days out or holidays as having a severely disabled child is very limiting!!!

Have I justified my spend????

Shocking lack of manners from some posters on a what your getting thread!
