I've pretty much finished my Xmas shopping, definitely finished for my children but now I'm going through what I've bought, I'm feel very twitchy.
My DS(3) loves crafty stuff and so I've got him lots of play doh and art and crafts stuff and kinetic sand. He has a toy shop and a Thomas the tank engine train track but not many actual toys. I DO know that he will absolutely love the play doh and kinetic sand and having a big toy shop and train set on top of that is plenty (and a nerf gun, toy plane and dress up set) not to mention all the stuff my family will get him but I'm trying really hard to resist the twitch!!

This, happens to me every year! I've been doing my wrapping today and looking at what I've bought everyone, feeling like it's not much. I'm staying strong though and not going over budget.. Grin

I twitched for DP.
He's been going on about how brilliant my presents are and how he's so excited to see me open them.
TWITCH and on top of loads of things he's got £150 spa voucher, which he will love.

Debating ordering them a ball pit

I have experienced this for the first time this year! I twitched for DSD and got her two extra things and then twitched and got DH two extra things!

I am not supposed to be getting much for DSD, she’s 14 and has mostly asked for cash, but DH had to stop me last night from ordering an Oodie and tickets to see School of Rock at the end of next year. I already got her two T-shirt’s, two sets of pencils, and a very specific badge (she’s a collector) and DH has bought her a not insignificant amount of vinyl.

I am already waiting for a thing from Latvia for DH and everything I think about buying is a delivery date risk now (except for amazon prime which is what makes it so tempting).

This year I’m so pleased with what I got them both that I can’t help but feel like I’m on a roll and that makes me feel like I can keep going.

Twitching so badly! 😂 just added a bunch more stuff to my Amazon basket, trying to resist pressing checkout. HELP! 😂

Franticbutterfly · 18/12/2020 00:11

Me! Ended up buying some stuff off the Vans website today. 😩

Trying to reign myself in and remind myself that DS also have a birthday coming up so there's no need to go utterly mental with 'the pile'.

Still hovering over the board game section of Amazon though.... (don't do it!!)

I came across a Transformers figure on Amazon ds has wanted for ages so twitched at that and then bought other ds Battleships to even it up. Then someone on Facebook was selling those laundry bag punch bags which seemed like a brilliant idea as ds2 was moaning the other day that the laundry basket in his room is too babyish now he’s a very distinguished ten years of age so bought two of those and a book. I need to pick my mum up a bottle of Baileys but might send dh as I don’t trust myself in the shops just now. Grin
