Anyone's child's xmas present a bike?

[xmasstress]

I have got my children a bike for Xmas as their main present but I'm constantly worried I've Got the wrong thing.. anyone else getting their child a bike?

My dc are getting bmx bikes.

Yup my 4 year old is getting a bike. He’s asked for it and his birthday is in autumn/winter too so there’s no better opportunity to get one as a gift.

Yes. A mountain bike.

Yep for our almost 3year old.

Yes, DD1 is giving her 14" frame bike to DD2 and we are giving DD1 a 16" frame bike.

DSes both had bikes about 3 years ago. They loved it and when we went to the park on Christmas day afternoon to blow some cobwebs away there were kiddies everywhere with bikes and scooters.

Yes for our 3 yr old. She's asked for it from Santa, it must have a baby seat for her dolly and a basket on the front.

Yep for our 5yo DD. Her first one. She doesn't know. It's a Disney princess one with a dolly seat. I'm so excited I keep going into he garage where it's hidden and dinging the bell.

Any tips on wrapping?!

Aww thank you for your replies. It's made me feel better about it. They have had their old bike a long time so are due a new one and will love to play out on it on xmas day. I think those bike with a place to put a dolly are very cute. I Have no idea how to wrap the bikes lol I'm still trying to figure it out. Plus my husband is working on a night shift in xmas eve and coming home xmas morning so I'm going to have to do all the preparing xmas eve !!

We have bought her a uniform bed set and we're using the dfuvet cover as a bag for the assembled bike.

That should say unicorn

I am planning on using very cheap paper to wrap the whole thing, leaving it very much bike shaped

Orange BMX here for DD.

Halfords sell bike bags for £3, Poundland sell silver bike covers.

Or Im thinking 3 bamboo garden canes tied at one end, like a teepee with a sheet over and bike inside.

Or Im thinking

You can get giant gift bags for bikes for about £2. I think Halfords have them.

Oops - sorry TotemicePole - slow typing here, I was distracted by a Robin outside !!!

DS is getting a BMX and has specifically asked that it be built and wrapped (with a big bow on it) in a proper bike shape not just in the box. That makes a big difference apparently, so stock up on wrapping paper!

Watched Arthur Christmas last night and am now inspired to wrap it while doing a wheelie on it using only 3 pieces of tape!

DD stipulated the orange BMX she has asked Father.Christmas for, must have stabilisers, else she doesnt want one

Duvet cover for wrapping here.

Thank you for the tips on the bike gift bags, I had no idea such things existed!
