If your DC only asked for a few, small, cheap items for Christmas...

would you thank your lucky stars and leave it at that? Or would you look at getting them a bigger surprise present as well?

And if the latter, what bigger presents are you getting your 9 and 6yo girls please?

I am leaving it at that. My 2DS have asked for gifts worth £15 each. I'm buying other bits for them too, but nothing big- seems silly to spend money just for the sake of it.

If both kids are happy, I might pick up a couple of other cheep bits if the lists are short, and keep the "change" for the year (like this one) where a tablet each is going under the tree.

In fact, I'm not that fussed if the piles are different values. If it's going to even out in the end.

Thanking lucky stars but also a factor in getting a family games console and new furniture for dd. Ds wanted a game where you scan the figures into a console game, just so he could play with the figures, which is very sweet but we decided to get the console too (MrNC and I figured we'd get one when kids were old enough).
