What were your kids best presents?

[Theneverendingcleaningcycle]

My Dd 4 has played the most with these strechey magnetic men my mother got her.
Though the signing frozen dolls have also been a hit.

Chatty Charlie furreal dog was played with for about 10 mins and is now under the tree looking neglected.

DTs (4) best presents were a whoopee cushion and a duck noise whistle. Both £1 stocking fillers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

DD (15) a large cuddly husky from Ikea & a T-shirt with a wolf on it from M&S.

DD (2) has played with the bag of musical instruments that my sister got her the most

A great-uncle bought my DD two Story Orchestra books, basically it's a story book where on every page there is a button you can press and a short piece of classical music plays. We have Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

I don't know much about classical music so it's been very educational for the both of us! DD is completely mesmerized by Swan Lake.

DS5 has loved a £2.50 Fidget Spinner and a surprise hit was a Spirograph MIL bought him eyes up Harry Potter Lego to send back 😂

DS2 (11)- PS4 Virtual Reality headset and games
DD (7) - Kindle paperwhite

Dd1 us in love with her laptop.

Dd2 her Sylvanians

Family - monopoly cheaters edition, so much fun!

DS(13) has spent hours building the warhammer he asked for.
DD(11) has loved her how to draw anime girls book and her draw a beano comic book.
Family hit has been HP Dobble. We’re new to dobble but it’s great!

DD8 how to train your dragon playmobil
Dd7 xbox
Dd5 light up scooter

Ds6: kindle fire, Pokemon figures, scalectrix, mibro robot
Ds7: kindle fire, bugacula game,
Dd12: EarPods, bike (went to her dads Boxing Day though so not had much use from her presents yet)
Ds14: switch, PS4 controller, new home for his pet, escape room game, EarPods (also at his dads but fit a lot in first!)

DD2 (4) loves the dreadful play make up kit Father Christmas brought her, of course

DD1 (7) is obsessed with her fitness tracker

Both have been out with the netball hoop every day, and also are playing very nicely together with some Magnatiles. Actually those have been a surprise - they've even got the bits from the dolls house and are building all kinds of small world play scenarios. I was about to rid of them all as they never use it!

A remote control mouse, which was actually bought for the dog (!)

Apart from that, DS (5) loves his Nintendo DS and DD (15 months) her first doll and buggy.

DD is 7.

So far she has said a £10 lightbox, a page a day 2020 diary and a selection of Options hot chocolates and narwhal mug 🤣

Dd2 (10months) manic flashy spikey rubber balls and all the packaging everything else came in. Obviously

Little live pets hedgehog. Remote control snake. Fisher price colour change chameleon. Fisher price think and spell penguin. Graffix farm puzzle from the poundshop. And them little suction pop up aliens that I bought off amazon to fill their advent Calender's

Moon Ball, magic cube (both stocking fillers) and rush hour game their aunt got them

These are sweet posts

DS (5) loves his shin pads. Wears them all day and in bed
DD (2) the light, spinning torch that plays jingle bells. She's lost it now I hid the bastard!

DS loves his fire engine, fireman fancy dress and fireman Sam figures!! He rushes around the house putting out pretend fires with his tiny extinguisher!

DD (4) has played with all of her presents, but the play doh hairdresser set has been the biggest hit. Inevitably it was one of the cheapest things she received!

Mine have time travelled too- ds14 is loving his yo-yo and dd9 the rainbow piece of string for cats cradle!! Her grandad showed her lots more shapes to do, it was lovely watching them. Total cost for the two approximately £6!

Now I really want a narwhal mug!!!

DS (7) has been permanently attached to his nerf gun and walkie talkies since he opened them. Monopoly, joke book, pens, Star Wars Lego.....He’s loved everything he’s got to be honest. ‘Best Christmas Ever!!!!!’ according to him!

DD (5) absolutely loves her desk. And her Elsa and Nokk were a surprise hit. But she REALLY loves her desk bless her.

Me, a track cycling experience at the velodrome in London. I cannot wait!!!!!!! Oh and some lovely pjs.

@cricketmum84 father Christmas reliably informs me that the narwhal mug was from Homesense/TKMaxx. However, it's a sod to clean 🤣

@thismeansnothing ooh we have a home sense quite nearby! Maybe an early trip due tomorrow :) thanks Santa!

Dd1 - dd2's remote controlled helicopter; Harry Potter board game & HP golden snitch reading light

Dd2 - the helicopter & her rollerboots which she's had on at every available opportunity.

Interesting to see the longevity of things during the year.
