Sweets & PJ's

DD2 -

We usually buy much more, but we've moved into a fixer upper and have no space. And actually, they usually get bored of opening stuff and it all gets forgotten by Boxing Day. I am worried it's not very equal though...

Both sons are getting bikes, and both are getting Lego, a couple of books, some clothes, and some lollies/chocolate, both are getting a colouring book and pencils.

DS1 (7) is getting The Hobbit movies on DVD.

DS2 (5.5) is getting Jack and Sarah and Thoroughly Modern Millie on DVD (movies he watches constantly at DM's, so we thought we'd get them for here too).

DD (20mo) is getting some Sylvanian families, a cheap dolls pram and doll (not sure if she's going to take an interest in it, so no real investment), some clothes, a couple of books, a wooden alphabet puzzle, a Moomin DVD, and a couple of chocolates.

a keyboard (musical, not computer)
A wacom tablet
Instant camera and film

A balance beam and crash mat
Toot toot garage

A couple of new puzzles

And stocking fillers are chocolate, Bing cutlery, little bing/go jetters figures.

Fighting hard the urge to twitch. Watched a programme the other day where a lady bought her children about 90+ presents each for Christmas and it made me want to cancel consumerist Christmas and handcarve some wooden toys for gifts instead, but then I remembered I can't carve stuff. Grin But it's enough to stop me twitching and buying more!

FourKids it says 180 minutes on the box! Do they think I don't know that means 3 hours?

The trouble is it's HUGE and we'll have nowhere to hide it once it's built, so we'll have to do it after the children are asleep on Christmas Eve.

And should we wrap the box, or try and wrap the built set?

Sorry for the thread derail OP!

BellaGoth. Build it, wrap it in a duvet and tie a bow around it. Unless you think they'd have fun helping? Even now when it's the holidays and we lug it all up from the cellar they all disappear until I've built it Confused
