Pork scratchings
A stick
My favourite- Evian water in a Buxton bottle!

A circular saw.
Screw fix catalogue.
Wikes kitchen catalogue.
A foot egg (those thing that look like a cheese grater to remove hard skin), she doesn’t have dry skin Hmm.
Auto trader magazine.

Personalised Alice band from Ireland( her name is Irish) and a voice actually activated secret diary 😂 she’s 7... my 3 yr old wants a train and skipping rope 😊

Lovemusic33 · 13/12/2017 20:06

And dd1 wants a mobility scooter

CFSantasDrankAllTheGin · 13/12/2017 20:07

Oohh that's a great idea, thanks Cagliostro!

DS told her zombies eat brains, but she's undeterred and adamant she wants one. Hopefully a plush will be a well received replacement for the real thing.

Fiona1984 · 13/12/2017 20:09

DSS10 has written "donut" on his list. He normally gets one once a week as a treat, not quite sur why it's ended up on his Christmas list. I think he got stuck for ideas.

Last year DD wanted fish fingers and chips Grin

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 13/12/2017 21:17

A few years ago DS put on his 4th birthday list 'dead fish'... (He'd been doing healthy eating at school and wanted dead ones to eat!)

Nothing too odd this Christmas that I can think of.

Age 3, DS requested a bag of carrots. He revived them joyfully. Life was so much simpler then.

For his 4th birthday he asked fine an Eagle, an owl, a fox and a penguin. He got a soft toy/doorstop owl who has slept on his bed ever since (5 years).

Herald a velociraptor? Xmas Grin

Lilicat1013 · 13/12/2017 21:59

@897654321abcvrufhfgg There are loads of old annuals on eBay. Fireman Sam 2012 is £2.75 in good condition.

Wilhamenawonka · 13/12/2017 22:00

Dd2 wants a real live unicorn. She was gutted not to get one for her birthday and so I'm not hopeful for Christmas.
Telling her they don't exist created a huge tantrum (although she was quite ill at the time)

PrivateParkin · 13/12/2017 22:08

My DS asked for an evil lair last year.

insomniac123 · 13/12/2017 22:09

@Lovemusic33 DD at 4 was asked by shop what her favourite shop was - she said B&Q!

Loving all these funny little requests!

A loaf of bread for a midnight snack.

Pink sonic the hedgehog (not Amy a pink sonic)

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 13/12/2017 22:31

wilham my dd2 firmly believes in unicorns and often sees them when we are out and about. She's 5 and lives in her own bubble 😆 DD who is a self declared expert tells me they only live in rainbows and jump out and play. They couldn't live in a house there's not enough space for all the frolicking they do. Also they lose their magic if they don't stay in magic land where the rainbows are so would be sad!

Allthebest

You're kids are brilliant!

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 13/12/2017 22:47

DS (4) has been asking for months, unswervingly, for a yoyo. Yesterday I caught him asking siri "What is a yoyo?" and "show me a picture of a yoyo". He had no idea what one actually was.

SharonStrzelecki · 13/12/2017 22:51

Last year my DS asked for an invisible yo-yo. At least it was easy to get! Although my MIL bought him an actual yo-yo and he wasn’t impressed with that.

Whisky2014 · 13/12/2017 23:10

When I was little, every year my list had two things and two things only:

A box of chocolates
A real cat

I always got the chocolates but never the cat. Then one year I did get the cat! It was amazing...i cried with happiness!

disneydatknee · 13/12/2017 23:16

Nothing really to add (all my DS wants is computer games) but some of these made me howl!!! Just been reading them out to DH. From the mouths of babes eh. Love it.

PringlesSmoothie · 13/12/2017 23:33

I asked for blue tac when I was 12. I wanted to decorate my room in posters and photos.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me to just ask for it. We were in no way short of cash.

TheBlueMeaniesAreComing · 14/12/2017 02:24

When we where doing our lists out dd1 (2) asked for a branch... it wasn’t until she asked for a princess poppy that I realised she was talking about trolls 😂 she also asked for a cake and a candy cane
Ds is a chancer. They are allowed 5 things on their lists. He was saying to me how my 16 month old dd told him that she wanted to ask Santa for a Nintendo switch and a new scooter for him. He’d already finished his list

TheBlueMeaniesAreComing · 14/12/2017 02:26

Posted too soon 🤣
He’d already finished his list but thought of more things and didn’t want to remove anything.
When he was four he asked Santa for a ham sandwich, a banana and marshmallows that weren’t soft... he hates marshmallows but tries so desperately to like them 🤣

Nannplum666 · 14/12/2017 02:48

My 2 year old son wants a witch ! Have finally managed to get him a large hand puppet of a witch that everyone who has seen it says it too scary !
3 year old refuses to tell me anything !
