DS,11 loves the dartboard he got. It's a kids safe one...not sharp thankfully as a dart accidentally flew past my head already! But it's been great fun.

Ds(15) got a new phone which he loved, but was also very enamoured with his £4.99 telescopic back scratcher!!

Ds 7 - some fake snowballs that Santa has ‘dropped’ on way to deliver presents from the North Pole. He’s spent all day juggling them bless him! After that, probably his new Pokemon game for the switch.

CookiesAreForEatingNotStoring · 26/12/2019 01:49

DS (10) Has spent several hours playing with a lock-picking kit.
He’s getting surprisingly good. I hope I’m not setting him up for a life of crime!

Got a lot of Lego. He’s already built the Hogwarts Express and the Dr Who set is in progress. He’s loving it.
He also got a battle action Millenium Falcon which he loves.
Miss- the Wow toys golden snitch. It’s rubbish.

Namedecisions · 26/12/2019 09:47

@minipie please can I ask which LCD writing tablets did you get? I was vaguely looking for one for Christmas but I couldn’t find any that didn’t have mixed reviews, it’s my daughters birthday in a few weeks so was thinking I could get her one for that.

Namedecisions · 26/12/2019 09:49

Biggest hits for the kids were Star Wars Lego, playdoh hairdressers and a football kit!

Villagegreenpreservation · 26/12/2019 09:57

Light up fidget spinners in stockings
Then the laptop and X box they got (12 and 8 years old). To be clear they didn’t get both items each!!

minipie · 26/12/2019 10:05

@Namedecisions sure, it was these ones. Only had them a day so don’t know how they will last of course but pleased with them so far - and they came with a spare battery (as well as already having one in) which was a nice surprise.
