What are you planning on getting your DC?

[tistheseason2bjolly]

I need ideas please. Instead of starting a thread asking specifically for ideas just for my DC, I thought we could write the age of the DC and what you are planning on getting them in order for it to be useful for everyone :)

Thanks in advance.

DS1 will be about to turn 5. He is having Switch & Go dinosaurs, Schleich dinosaurs, dinosaur books, a globe, Lego, scooter & fossil bits (includes gifts from other people & birthday).

DS2 (2) is having a Brio grave, wooden road/ vehicles, Grimms rainbow, story CDs and maybe a Playmobil 1.2.3 house. Again, includes gifts from others.

Ds is 8 and wants a tv in his room but I'm not too sure to be honest. His other ask is a giant African land snail. Oh god. Which is the least bad option?!
He's also having another new football to go with the ten he has , some books, some fossils, a couple of new games, a nerf gun and target, some Star Wars Lego figures and probably a soft toy of some sort.

Dd will be 2 on Christmas Eve. She is having the leapfrog ice cream cart, a playmobil playground, some dressing up shoes, a kitty surprise (horrific), a fisher price medical bag, peppa pig jewellery box and some play jewellery and a flower building toy set. That will be split between her birthday and Christmas.

DD is 4 - she is getting a bike and has a few barbies/my little pony things.

DS is 5 - he is also getting a bike and a captain America shield, Thor's hammer, a transformers remote control car.

I ordered them a build-a-bear each yesterday as they had 70% off superhero clothes.

I will get them a few extra pieces but only little bits as we're cutting back majorly this year as DH is learning to drive and we have baby things to buy.

Halfords have that Christmas saving plan which is fantastic as it doesn't seem so bad. We'll pick them up end of November and can pay what we like until then.

I also downloaded an app called 'santas bag' which is very good!

DS will be 5.6. He's getting playmobil children's hospital, playmobil fire engine and I may twitch and buy the ambulance as well. He's getting a big box of Lego city from my parents. He also wants a Go glow R2-D2 to be friends with the Go Glow BB8 he got last Christmas.

Ds1 is 13 and might get a Nintendo switch.

Ds2 is 3 and will probably get shapes, shape sorters, shape puzzles and probably wooden/magnetic letter and numbers. (He has ASD and loves those things, if you're thinking that seems a bit "young"). Oh, and a dark den.

Dd is 9 on Christmas eve is getting: miitopia for 3ds
Some stop animation recording software (as seen on an mn crimbo thread)

Christmas: classic mini snes
Ticket to see elf the musical

Other small bits to do with drawing/art etc.

She has asked for a phone, but I'm not sure yet.

DS(4) play tent
DS(2) not sure yet. Sonethingsnall just so that he has something to open.

Dd is 8
Lego friends hotdog van
Lego friends lake camp
Lego friends pizzeria
Lego friends bumper cars
Lego elves Sophie Jones
Lego elves azeria something or another
Don't speak kids vs parents
Orbeez Crush And Create
Orbeez footspa
Pokemon guess
Gel-a-peel

This is where is get stuck! 😂

DS1 aged 10 is getting a silver bracelet watch (this is all he has asked for) he will also be getting clothes and some headphones.

DS2 aged 7 is getting a second hand smartphone (this is all he has asked for) also getting some football kits and some headphones

They will both get stocking bits but these are all really cheap things like shower gel, toothbrush, chocolate coins etc.

Dd 10 sewing machine, Nintendo ds and some games. Bits and pieces, exploding kittens expansions, warrior cats almanac...lush stuff.

Dd, 4, Disney stuff, toy wooden fruit and veg stall, hathcimal and bits and pieces

DS 3.8 is getting yet another bruder tractor, even more siku tractors, a trunki, possibly the playmobil rocket, lots of books, mini tractor barn and a cuddly dinosaur so far

Dd1 is 7, she's getting a wooden dressing table, rocket mic, Jojo siwa headphones, hair bits, doll & book, kids sewing machine, shopkins shoppies doll and maybe the shopkins plane & some heelys.

Dd2 will be 3 in December. She's getting a wooden kitchen, happyland bus, bing car & shop, Melissa & Doug basic skills board, fisher price movi (from nana) baby alive snackin lily & a wooden highchair. I've also seen the little tikes place which I'd love to get!

Neverwas you've just reminded me how much Dd loves the kitty surprise advert, she's two as well. But why is the cat so ugly? It looks like it has run face first into a wall of paint. I'd be more inclined to buy it if it looked like a normal cat!
I might get it anyway. I had the puppy version as a kid so it make me all nostalgic

DD1 will be 3 in February. She is getting a kindle kids tablet, a bing doll that wets itself, read with me violet, a cry baby, a paw patrol playset and some books.
DD2 is 1, she is getting the toot toot fire station, beat bo dance mat, twirlywoo boat, and a wooden post box.
These are all dependent on getting them in the Argos 3 for 2 tomorrow, though. They both get a stocking with little bits in it.

DS,15, no idea
DD, 6, not a clue
DTs, 4, buggered if I know.
How do you all know this? Have they written to Santa already?
This is dark magic.

I will get the electrical mains nearer Christmas. I always do a big Primark shop before Christmas as girls like the jeans from there, so always get them jeans, maybe a top or two and stocking fillers. I also need to go to Superdrug to buy make up bits for their stockings. Ds is very hard to buy for as all he likes is his Xbox, tablet and occasionally plays with cars, dinosaurs or transformers.

Can't wait for the shops to get rid of the Halloween stuff and go full on christmas mode! 🎗

Podge I tried to choose the least horrific one. It's a tortoiseshell. The white one wasn't too bad either. The kittens are cute though, you can see one of them, it purrs. Dd loves cats though and babies. Now she will have baby cats!

Dd1 (15) will be getting a new phone as her main from us. Rest will be clothes, make up, trainers, fitbit and smaller things like lush, chocs etc.

Dd2 (almost 11) I'm finding quite difficult this year. Main from us will be a laptop & sims 4. Can't really think of much else, a couple more of the Harry Potter vinyl pops maybe. Will be watching this thread for ideas!

Dd3 (almost 9) Will also be getting a laptop as a main from us. For different use though as she has asd and dyslexia and is learning through click typing so it's more of a learning aid. Other things will be the our generation vets and og accessories. Superhero Lego, possibly some sylvanians and other crappy things like lol dolls, colleggtibles, enchantimals etc.
