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.

Neverwas the read with me violet I wanted was out of stock so I ended up going with kitty surprise but I've lucky dipped it with an "assorted" one Grin wish me luck! I'm obviously going to get the worst of the lot!
I hope your DD gets lots of enjoyment out of hers kitties.

@2014newme Yes COD for a 10 year old. Ds has had the worst possible year ever having been diagnosed with a high risk brain tumour, enduring a six hour surgery, many other surgeries, high dose radiotherapy every day for six weeks, high dose chemo, NG feeding amongst other things. The tumour could come back at any time.....life is too short. 🎗

My son 8 wants a go kart and heelies . Daughter 11 wants the Lego carousel and maybe a new tablet . She had a Samsung but it's starting to play up so I'm thinking of an iPad . She probably won't get both . Actually I might get the carousel for myself 😂😂.
Then books , lots of books . And socks pants sweets twistables , Harry Potter keyring and bobble head etc for stockings .
I only buy a couple of presents but they tend to be expensive .

DD 5 told me last night she wants a kitten that swims. A real kitten, not a toy!! I think Santa will be disappointing her this year.

I am in desperate need of this thread. Especially if anyone has any ideas for an awesome,crazy, dinosaur loving feminist 9 year old.

Ds1 will be 11 just after Christmas so this stuff is to spread over birthday and Christmas.

Needs a new watch
Contemplating getting him a Sonos for his bedroom

Small things for stocking or relatives who ask for ideas to buy

New wallet
A slack line
Books
I tunes vouchers to buy music
Power functions bits for Lego.

Ds2 is 5

Lego dragster transporter
Some cool prints for his bedroom wall
Lush bath bombs because he wants to steal the ones I got for my birthday.

Dd will be 9 just before Christmas so as with ds1 stuff is to spread over both Christmas and birthday.

Books. Lots of books.

Followed by a whole lot of I don't have a bloody clue!

Dd6 is getting
Our generation doll & backpack
2 x craft things (card making & bracelet making)
Bunchems
Lego
Maybe a ukulele. Random but she's just started lessons and keeps asking so if she keeps it up she will probably get one.
There will probably be a couple of other bits too like pjs, slipper, book, pens, hair bobbles and split across the family as I went a bit bonkers last year so trying to be more sensible.
I am planning a trip to smiggle this week for a mooch and smyths whilst their offer is on

Dd3. No idea. Poor kid but I'm sure I'll find some more plastic we don't really need but she will love. It's her birthday before xmas so will see what she gets for that first 😀
