Fo rmy twins, Lego, Pjs, reading materials, coloring pens, clothes for my youngest. A bit tight on budget so I had to look for what suits my budget.

My ds is only getting 6, a dvd, and pile of books, dd a couple more because hers are smaller things. Some are giving more, some less, it’s not a competition. I’ve done what feels right for us and it’s been the same for a few years. I just love reading everyone’s lists, I get a little window into how another family does things, and what the trends are at the moment, and what older kids than mine are into.
