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?!

I've just bought 2 guinea pigs for DD10 & my bfs son....early Xmas pressies.....cos I've wanted guinea pugs again for ages, last had some 10 years ago. DD10 put a real rabbit on the bottom of her Xmas list....but I persuaded her her guinea pigs are better pets & then told her we are def getting no more animals. Their reaction when we gave them to them last week was priceless.

[Lunalula]

Not for Xmas, but someone few years ago asked if our kids wanted a Wii. D's has played Mario twice, the rest is myself!

[ThanosSavedMe]

I can’t buy Lego for the dds anymore as they’d build it themselves and not let me join in or get bored half way through and let me finish!

[RickOShay]

A magnetic hanging globe for my nephew, it’s for me and my sister really. So cool

[YearOfYouRemember]

Ggirl27 - tell me more about the 3D pens please .

[YearOfYouRemember]

. I posted before reading on. Thank you.

[WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit]

I've just looked at the video for the polaroid 3D pen and they very carefully don't show it actually making anything. Perhaps it's magic?

[Mookatron]

@Deminism it's this one (can you see that?). I can guarantee it makes one badge really well but beyond that... dunno!

[golddustwomen]

OP I have done exactly the same with the twisty pets 😂
Also my oh has brought our ds a load of marvel toys which I now 100% are for oh.

[golddustwomen]

Know*
For reference he is 1!! So definitely not old enough for the marvel toys 🙄

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

@Mookatron any recommendations on age for the badge maker? Ds6 would love it, but will he injure himself?

[Mookatron]

@Howmanysleepstilchristmas my DD is 9 and I wanted to check she'd be able to do it which is one (ahem) of the reasons I had a go. She'll be fine, but I would think 6 is a bit young to do it unsupervised. As always, depends on the kid though. I'd wait a year or two if I were you.

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

Thanks!

[Mookatron]

[Deminism]

Oooh thank you @mookatron. Can that really only be £5.99?

[Mookatron]

No, it was about £50. Maybe you're just looking at badge refills or something?

[Deminism]

Ah ok will look again

[CazM2012]

Sylvanian families, I was never allowed such frivolous things as a child, and when my mum asked what to buy DD1 I mentioned she was old enough and really wanted some so I was going to buy her the starter house. She bought the medium house plus extra accessories! I can’t wait to set it all up

[BigGreenOlives]

I’ve bought them all miniatures of Salcombe and Sipsmith gin (adult children).

[bojtogether]

Stretch Armstrong! I always told my parents I'd like one, and it never happened. I bought one for my DS this year I am dying to open it.
