They wanted the big LOL sets but we havnt got them this year as they have loads.

The above is from me, grandparents, her dad and other family.

She also wants pull my finger game, a pooping flamingo and a talking koala which I've vetoed. Also a na na doll that cost £30 and looks a load of crap.

Stocking fillers are bath bombs, bath gel, key ring, pen from smuggle, chocolates

@user68634 - yes I thought the same when I saw your list! My DD loves dolls - plays with them all the time. The Baby Alive clothes came from Frilly Lilly - they do clothes for lots of different dolls. I got the school uniform for her designafriend dolls for her birthday.

Gosh marking place! I have no ideas and there are loads of fab ones here.

8.5 year old, she is having:
Barbie horse set
Schleich bayala figures

I havent started the stocking fillers yet, some good ideas on this thread!

Mine is massively into dinosaurs and has asked for (very politely) real dinosaur bones 🙄 she’s 7 and has decided she wants to be a palaeontologist- help!

Dd will be 8 in February (how?!) and she’s getting a new riding helmet, playmobil, our generation, echo dot, magazine subscription, VIP pets. These aren’t just from us! I haven’t bought much for her stocking yet but will probably be lots of chocolate, horsey accessories and bath bombs. She’s also getting a puppy. (Not really meant to be a Christmas present but we’ve been on the breeders waiting list for over a year and it just happened that the puppy will be ready just before Christmas so I haven’t told DD yet and will keep it as a Christmas surprise!)
