I'm stumped. She's getting some wireless headphones, a hot water bottle, a ink stamp set, probably a strong girls club hoodie.

Youngest has the benefit of having two.older siblings and doesn't really engage with toys massively, he loves his marble run, will be getting some play dough, a jumper, ,socks, pjs etc. But don't have any actual tree presents for him!

Any suggestions?

Some ideas for three year old: hot wheels tracks, duplo, kids knex junior, leapfrog story teller, First remote control car, play doh, Kinetic sand, my first scaletrix, police station with cars, some junior games like baa baa bubbles, Hungry caterpillar board game. Some of the Vtech toot toot range, junior keyboard, fancy dress outfits policeman, fireman etc, leapfrog leapstart, car hauler for hot wheels cars, workbench/ tool kit.

Just some ideas of things my three year old is into at the moment might help you. As you can tell mines into cars!

My almost 10 year old is getting:

  • Rash vest for surfing/body boarding
  • boots to go over her ballet shoes
  • Enola Holmes Mysteries book 1 and 2
  • kayaking or stand up paddle boarding lessons

(We live in NZ so summer Christmas opens up some opportunities).

For her stocking:

  • some paints
  • earrings
  • her favourite chocolate
  • bubble bath

She actually doesn’t need a lot and hasn’t asked for anything specific.

My 3 almost 4yo is after the Paw Patrol Dino Patroller. In recent months he seems to have gone back to Paw Patrol.

9yo girl
Weights you throw into a swimming pool and dive for
Chewing gum (I hate it but Santa can be persuaded)
Poster of Freddie Mercury
Wireless headphones is a good idea, possibly new ear defenders too
Sponsorship of her favourite wild animal - so she gets a plushie and leaflet to open, then quarterly magazines/updates
Lots of books. Usually I get a load from the charity shops in the posh town nearby, along with buying random games and toys. If the kids don't like them, then I've given money to charity and they get the items back. Last year scored brand new slipper socks for everyone and some crockery with favourite cartoon characters, which I'd never have paid full price for.

For a 3yo with older siblings - play doh machine, Duplo, DVD, pop-up books, Orchard Games game, 30-piece large jigsaw, cool wellies and waterproofs, a just-add-water chocolate.brownie mix, ready-to-shape cookie dough, magnifying glass, chunky magnet...

DSD just turned 11: wireless Headphones, scheleic (?) Safari, some littelist pet shop things that she asked for. Some bath bombs and smellies from lush. A subscription to a game she likes to play online. A few bits of makeup then her stocking over and above that. We were going to get her a pandora bracelet but her mum wasn't sure she'd look after it so we're going to hold off for a few years on that one lol.

DS 3, we picked up a second hand bike for a song on marketplace, my neighbors gave me a huge toy plane that he will be getting. A buzz and Woody doll from toy story. A emergency service toy. And a cars play mat with lightening mcqueen. With his stocking over and above that.
