My daughters (nearly 4, and 9 months) have far too much mostly from other people and none of it very expensive but it looks like loads!

I think because we usually spread out thr gifts as we visit different people, but this year they've all been sent to us. Also twice as many as last year as we now have 2 children. They won't all fit under the tree!

4 year old will love it though.
From us she has a dressing up box, mermaid playmobil, some books, hungry hippos game, a fingerling narwhal and some octonauts toys. She is getting a yoto player from grandparents which I'm very excited about.

Baby is mostly getting her sisters old toys wrapped up but also some baby sensory stuff and a tuff tray.

@KitKatastrophe out of interest where did you get Octonauts toys from? You don’t seem to be able to get them in the usual toyshops!

@PreRaphaeliteMotherhood

I got them from facebook marketplace, second hand, so that doesn't help you much sorry!

@KitKatastrophe I’ve been ebaying and bundles have been going for silly money! I need to be better at keeping an eye on marketplace!

Aw that is a shame. I spend too much time trawling marketplace but I do find some bargains

14 year old cricket mad son is having a huge cricket net for garden, matting and a bowling machine and bucket of balls. It means we will have to dig a diagonal strip across back garden and put in concrete strip for matting to go on but he is a good kid and very good at cricket. This gift is not new but pre owned but was over £400 which is far far more than we usually spend on him. It has been a tough year and he has missed so much cricket training. He does not know he is having this. He asked for wireless headphones and wireless mouse for his laptop. He is having both.
