1 year old DS.
Wants - my car keys,
Needs - some age appropriate toys, so he's getting a ride on toy, a tractor with animals and some Megablocks

10 year old triplets (BBG)

DS1 - X box Series S and headset, games etc
DS2 - Gaming set up (new desk, chair, lights, games for his PS4 etc)
DD - iPad, clothes/makeup

Going to get them what they’ve asked for as they’ve been amazing throughout so much uncertainty.

DS12. Wants VR head set (actually I do too, they're so much fun!)

Newchapter2020 · 23/09/2020 14:37

Not my own kids, but the ones I look after. Girl aged 12. An Oodie (giant hoodie) , a new phone and a cosmetic fridge.

I'm pleased you've started this thread, I need ideas!! Especially because I've got a Dec 24th and Dec 26th birthdays in this house too!! Not planned that way, trust me!

2 boys ages 10 & 13 in December. So far they've got football boots, hoodies, smellies, mountain bike accessories, water bottles.

They both want / need new trainers so dragging their existing ones out until then.

Girl (13) electric make up brush cleaner

BooseysMom · 23/09/2020 14:54

Wow, triplets!! treble trouble!! I take my hat off to you @FrancisCross. Btw what does BBG mean?

Great thread. I have a 6 year old DS, 7 in Nov. He wants anything with wheels but his biggest wish is a model railway. Has anyone seen how much those things cost?!! Crazy!

FrancisCross · 23/09/2020 14:59

DD16 wants a new chair for her desk - got her this gorgeous one

DS13 wants more RAM for his PC but not much more than that at the moment!

They just get one big present now plus a stocking as they don't seem to want or need much and their grandparents give them money (my parents give them £100 each!) so they are set for clothes etc.

Scanner20 · 23/09/2020 16:08

DD 4 - pretty much everything she sees! Polly pocket, hatchimals pixies, pixie rider and the new cat/dog ones, lol dolls and the bubbly set, jewellery, hair stuff, bag, games, dressing gown.. the endless list!! Birthday around Christmas, buy and split so she makes the most of it as she's thinking about it since the summer.
DS 2 - doesn't ask for anything

Oilnwater · 23/09/2020 16:39

My 17 year old would like the new Play Station 5, however all pre- orders are sold out so hoping I can get one in the shops once it's launched.
I've bought some books, favourite chocolates and socks and cricket stuff for his stocking and to open.
It's very expensive but I feel like with him being 18 a few weeks later it's probably the last expensive Christmas and will become a bit more low key gift wise in the future though I expect he has other ideas.

FuzzyPenguin · 23/09/2020 16:43

DS6 wants Pokémon, Pokémon and more Pokémon. He always wants a singing Audrey Descendants doll but that’s like finding hen’s teeth.

dameofdilemma · 23/09/2020 16:44

Dd 8 wants Lego, Playmobil and books.

She also wants (but won't get) make-up and a snake (a cobra ffs).

Itwasaquarterpast11 · 23/09/2020 16:46

Dd14 - "dunno...nothing"
Tempting as it is to get nothing, she will be getting trainers and a printer for her phone if I can figure out which one.

LadyCatStark · 23/09/2020 16:47

DS(11) has no idea and neither do I! He’s has literally everything!

LadyCatStark · 23/09/2020 16:47

He not he’s 🙈

FourPlasticRings · 23/09/2020 16:48

2- the books advertised on the back of her current books are all she's asked for thus far.

AlwaysLatte · 23/09/2020 16:55

10 year old boy: Lego Hogwarts Castle or PS5 (he can't decide!), 12 year old boy: probably an iPhone.

Nosnogginginthekitchen · 23/09/2020 16:57

DS8 and DD5 - we haven't discussed Xmas yet but I've got all three of us a family Switch as they're obsessed with Mario Bros and other games on our ancient Wii so it's time for an upgrade and DS is actually saving for a switch so he'll be thrilled.
I just need to get a list of good, cooperative games to suggest to family members.

DD also wants makeup so Father Christmas might buy her an eye shadow and tinted lip balm, because mummy absolutely would NOT give her makeup Wink

Adelais · 23/09/2020 17:04

Dd7 Lol dolls, Lego friends and Lego trolls and Barbie.
Dd 7 months, anything she can put in her mouth.

movingonup20 · 23/09/2020 17:12

Dd wants a Mazda 2, she's not getting one

Lazysundayafternoons · 23/09/2020 17:17

7yo boy wrote his list asking for playmobil fire station, new Mario Nintendo switch game and a surprise.

Then, of his own accord, he added 'please dont forget my baby brother, he would like...'

Have written all my lists on Monday, will give myself until Saturday to tweak them, then I'm going to get the shopping out of the way all at once 😱
