Christmas

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.

Still thinking of ideas

I am clueless on what to get all four if them except a yokai watch for DC4.
I have bought some story CD's for the younger two and a bottle of Baileys for DC1 17.
Nobody has asked or anything yet and I'm usually half way done by now

Ds6 - bike, nerf gun, lego, echo dot, books, pokemon guess, phlat ball, skylander, lego dimension figure.

He desperately wants a nerf go kart but at £230 I cant justify it. I may get him a normal go kart at £60 but not sure.

Dd1 - a little tikes car, book, toy piggy bank, few other small gifts.

I'm not really sure yet which is very unusual for me by this point in the year! I really should plan as baby may be here in as little as a month.

We have some Lego already which always features, but not much else. DD (10) has mentioned hexbugs and DS is really into k'nex so that'll probably feature somewhere.

DD has also asked for 'a screen' but she is getting her first phone when she turns 11 in June as we promised that years ago.
