We tend to get 1 gift each. Mainly because we celebrate saint nicolas on the 6th of december:

Dd1 (9): art projector
Ds (6): a tin for pokemon cards
Dd2 (3): a dance mat

They are likely to get some more from their grandparents.

Great ideas for next year on this thread!

Bought it at different times but doesn't half add up.

Hope they like their gifts. I think they will.
