Favourite presents

[shouldwestayorshouldwego]

Most things seem to have gone down well. Knex seems to be a particular hit with 12yr and 8yr old. Nutri Ninja (free with £35 Sainsbury's double up vouchers) has kept the 10yr old entertained and given us all loads of smoothies! Any favourites in your household?

DS1 (11 years old) = Nintendo switch and games/accessories. Lego.

DS2 (8 year old) = Nintendo switch and games/accessories, a stunt scooter and cup stack challenge which he’s played with non stop!

Build a bear with clothes for Dd2 and her furby. Dd1 loved her vet doll I got from asda, similar to our generation girls dolls, thanks bargain thread!! Dd2 loved her magnetic slime and Dd1 was made up with a project book from santa as she cam now do a real grown up project, and her harry Potter box set

10 year old boy - an inflatable sumo suit I got for 9.99 from Home Bargains as surprise. He loves it despite it being a little big.

10 year old girl. My friend bought her a card game called Mapominoes that we have all been playing. Educational and fun

DS 11 ATC game & headphones for computer. DS 7 fingerling, nerf nitro & Lego.

DD1 9 a crystal finding kit (£ shop), pusheen teddies, time turner necklace, shopkins figures, card and go seek game, plop trumps. Oh and dogman book and beano comic.

DD2 5 moana costume (hasnt taken it off yet), moana necklace, moana singing doll, shopkins smoothie truck and doll, paw patrol busy book, fingerling and 2ds.

Both loved the flickin chickens (little rubber chickens you flick and stick to ceiling. Apparently hilarious to flick above my or their dads head so falls on us when sat on sofa!)

Next year im going to shop later and be more restrained as most of the early bargains i bought they werent overly fussed by or were complete flops. And not buy the tat which hasnt been used, i have decluttered this year and now they each have a sack of crap to find homes for..... better quality over quantity stockings next year!

DS1 (6 years old): Transformers 1-step changers.

DS2 (5 years old): Furby Connect. He already has an iPad, so loves playing with the Furby with the app.

DD - Nintendo switch and games, beautiful dot pattern making book.

Me - Journal, money and gift cards, DVDs.

Both our boys have been obsessed with DS1s Switch & go dinosaurs. I was worried they’d prove to be plastic tat, but they are actually surprisingly good.

A giant dinosaur cuddly from Wilko has also proven very popular.

Unfortunately, the vast array of Hotwheels which arrived, as requested, has been largely ignored.

Thinking putty.
They have played with it every day (despite the fingering /hatchimal/ sylvanians). Best thing ever apparently.

DS(7) pokemon cards & pokemon 3ds game

DD(3) fingerling, earmuffs & electric toothbrush!
