Have you got your kids anything for Christmas that you secretly want yourself? Lighthearted.

I confess - I got DD(5) Twisty Petz as one of her gifts for Christmas, not because she asked for them but because I think they're the cutest things ever!

I know she'll love them. I mean, they're pets AND bracelets, amazing!! She hasn't asked for much (2 things) so I've had to think of little gifts she might like. TPs just are a little bit more of a selfish purchase!

Anyone else?!

Does anyone have a link for the 3D pens please?

@Stabbitha - ah but he was only helping right?! 😂

@Funnyface1 - I've googled magnetic tiles and I can totally see why your DH would be a little excited about them! Mine would!

We got sticky blocks a few years ago and I think we've played with them more than the kids!

I can't stop thinking about those 3D pens!! Mind. Blown. I might ask Santa for one for myself! 😬

My DD got a twisty pet for her birthday, we have enough now to have a necklace each. I may or may not have bought two more for Christmas so we can have a bracelet each too

Does it count if I've bought all 3 of my kids joke books because it's a gift for me in that I won't have to listen to their made up jokes that aren't funny but which as a parent you are forced to laugh at?

They're on Amazon @Leeds2.

I bought DDs the VW Lego camper van ... they barely got a look in

Also bought DH a sonos speaker which I absolutely love, he rarely uses it .... might get him another one this year

My 6 year old, Disney books.

My 14 year old the Kylie jenner makeup ha ha.

Not a child but my DP chocolate which I'm sure will be 'shared' Christmas Day night lol

@Marmite27 - eeek! I got my DD one set of each of the big ones and the mini ones. I even went to a shop to pick them as I didn't want to risk not getting a unicorn one if I bought online. Also got to choose colours!

@Arrowfanatic - I think it counts as it's still for selfish purposes. It's also genius.

With the mention of books, I've just remembered something else I got for DD (ahem, me) - a Where's Wally book bundle! I LOVE a bit of Wally searching so I do!

We have bought Lego Boost for my son’s birthday in December. DH can’t wait!

I really want a tamagotchi. None of my kids do.

I've got a 3d pen for my dd too! Arrived yesterday and I got loads of refills too. It's a cat shape pen....I can't wait to have a go!!

Thanks for the heads up, glutten.

My daughter loves the lol surprise dolls and I get secretly excited when she gets stuck opening them so I can have a go

Retro nintendo gaming system

I'm off to find a 3d pen now too.

I got DD a stethoscope because she's applying for medicine at uni but really I'm fascinated and want one!

I've already eaten their chocolate oranges and had to buy spares, which I'll probably eat too! (& 2 lots of chocolate coins) 🤭

Harry Potter Lego
Pomsie (they look so cute!)
I get excited watching DD unwrapping LOL dolls

Lego
Large toblerone

Admittedly I'm looking forward to helping dd with her big lego elves set and thinking about the fun I'll have playing with ALL the elves next time I have the house to myself.

I've already started reading some of the books I got her (she's 9 so ).

DH is worse though. He's got lego and k'nex to look forward to "helping" DS with and he's just this evening ordered kites for them both. Those are totally because he wants an excuse to fly a kite! They do look pretty cool (dragons) but I saw the word HUGE in the description so I'm slightly concerned.

@mookatron can you pm me link if it is an ebay shop or tell me the make and model if it was an individual seller. I really want to get one but was overwhelmed by choice.

Polly pocket micro and some paint your own Russian dolls which are woodland animals. I might have to go and buy some more - for me!

Pls can someone who has bought a 3D pen post the link?!

Winnie the witch books for dd.
I love Winnie the witch

Iv bought my son an LOL surprise pet, I really want to see what’s inside and I’m hoping for a Dalmatian! He wants a polly pocket....

These are called humphrey gifts in our family coz you go humph wen u unwrap them knowing they have been bought coz the other person secretly or not so secretly wants to use/play with/read it etc!!! And we are all adults!! Hasten to add it's always gifts that will be liked/wanted by recipient but giver may have vested interest!! Lol!!

I have ordered some jewellery for my teenager which makes me want jewellery now. DH is getting her some tickets to a concert in December as well.
I bought books for my 4 year old girl (some are interesting I cannot resist buying them myself) and my baby son is getting some more toys and clothes for Christmas.
