What are you planning on getting your DC?

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.

As the laptop is so expensive we've massively cut down all the other "stuff" to about 10 extra things.

Still not really sure for the older two (10/8) other than Lego and Phoenix comic books.

DD2 arrived a little earlier than expected and not really sure what to get her but Santa will have to fill a stocking for her too. She's got plenty of clothes (had to buy smaller ones when she was born as she's so little)

Ds1- just turned 10. Is not giving me any ideas except "anything football related". He already has a million footballs and he just got new football boots, Astro trainers, shin pads, Man U shirt and a few other things for his birthday. So I don't know. He did want FIFA 18 but they don't make it for the PS3 so maybe we will get him a PS4 with FIFA 18.

Dd- 7. All she wants is an Our Generation doll. But I don't know if she will actually play with it.

Ds2- 3. A hot wheels track or garage.

These are ideas for presents from us. From Santa they will get a book, a DVD, a game, some small toys, pens, socks, chocolate etc.

muddling my ds1 had COD from early age 10, also the 16 one, it’s no more violent than Ben10, or any of the films, which are all rated 12A-15... ds played it before giving him it and he does not see the fuss around this particular game, dh turned off the gore and the swearing, the swearing he’s heard worse tbh, (large Scottish family) and the gore well it’s pretty lame, ds is also a child who knows the difference between fake and real, it also helps he has family in the military.

Ds no longer plays with it, he’s rather be out with friends, he may start playing with it more with the darker nights looming, but currently his peer group have been playing rocket league.

I hope your being kind to yourself and your son makes a full recovery, all my love Flowers
