Bonkers Santa request

[shreddednips]

My nearly 3yo DS has announced that the present he wants most of all from Santa is binbags 🤦🏼‍♀️ apparently it's 'the best present for me mummy!' and he wants them to put rubbish in. It's been a non-stop stream of excited binbag-related babble all morning. Wish he could have decided something that isn't a suffocation risk 🤦🏼‍♀️ has anyone else had any outlandish last-minute requests?

I remember DD1 at 5 years old asking Father Christmas for rubber bands. 30 years later she wanted a sofa.

Apple peeler/corer and he has asked for a litter picker so he can save the ocean the school allow him to watch YouTube videos due to his asd etc he has such a small (non existant) attention span this was clearly the eco channel he watches 🤣

It doesn't get any less bonkers as they get older, DD aged 13 has asked for Tom Holland for Christmas.

My 3 year old son is obsessed with all things dustbin lorry related so I'm surprised he hasn't asked for this!

Dgs is getting a gift wrapped potato as he is so excited to be playing hide the potato with us all like Roly off of Hey Duggee.

For balance I've asked my adult DD for a vegetable rack.

Bubblewrap. We bought DD a big sheet of it one Christmas. She love dit.

My little grand daughter wants a garden - she lives in a flat. keeps asking me to remind Santa to get her a garden! :(

DD has asked for an exercise bike and treadmill. She's 4.

A couple of years ago my dd wanted blu tack for Christmas, she went on and on about it to the point we went to see Father Christmas at a very well known department store in london. The other girl sat with us told the elves she wanted ‘another pony’, DD kept it real and asked for blu tack!! I didn’t know whether to cringe as we sounded so tight or to be proud that she wasnt a spoilt princess

DD, also nearly 3, asked for a bus and a plane yesterday. I said you have a bus darling and she said: “No mummy, a real bus. And a real plane with two ladies in it” (think she means air hostesses).

I think DD basically wants to go on holiday 🤣

When DD was 3 she casually announced on Xmas Eve, "I've asked Father Christmas to bring me a golden angel". I was coming down with a serious bout of flu and running a fever, but thought I would just nip out to some cheap shops and it would be easy to find a plastic angel tree decoration somewhere. We lived overseas and I hadn't realised that the shops clear their Xmas tat on Xmas Eve and bring out the sales stuff, so there wasn't a golden angel to be found anywhere. In desperation, and no longer thinking clearly, I spotted in the window of an upmarket home decor store a huge, and very ugly ceramic golden angel - at a huge price. I rushed in, paid the ransom, and got home to collapse in bed. In the morning DD was delighted that Santa had brought the angel. I still have it on a high shelf in my office (far too expensive to throw or give away) and smile when I look at it. It was the most expensive present DD got that year and I remind her of it often!

My 31 year old son is severely autistic and this year has asked for a zebra fancy dress outfit. I have no idea why. He’s also asked for a packet of polar bear cake mix. Again, I’ve no idea why.

Finding the very big Tv he also wants was a doddle compared to those other two things but I did manage in the end.

Roll on tomorrow and why he wanted the zebra outfit.

I don’t know whether I’m excited or terrified.

When my DS was 5 or 6 he asked Santa for a villa with a pool in Spain (we'd been on holiday to one the previous summer. Fortunately we were able to arrange for Santa to send him a letter saying that he didn't think he'd be able to bring that but would bring some other lovely things instead! We regularly remind DS of this - he's 25 now!

My nephew one year asked for a block of cheese just for him. He was four. We all still remind him of this at 15

This is my wish too. I'm 44

This thread is amazing, Merry Christmas to all of you and your delightful DCs

Aldi had a very sweet little wooden flower garden in when I was last there. I know that it's not a real garden but maybe it would be a nice stand in @chris8888

One year my ds wanted a chicken. We got him a little soft toy chicken and he was over the moon!

My 5 year old has also asked for blue-tac and cellotape this year.
Oh and a real sweet shop.

I'm so intrigued about the zebra outfit, please come back and update us 😆

Merry Christmas to all, thank you for all these lovely stories. They've perked up a rather labour-intensive day 😆 I've purchased a roll of 15 heavy-duty refuse sacks, hopefully he will be pleased!

Nothing odd ball but my 3 year old has asked for 'wonky donky books and a Christmas bear.

Starting to think he is the ghost of a victorian child.

My two year old asked for Weetabix,
This was the same year that her 5 year-old cousin would only say mysteriously “Ah, you’ll see!”
Cue parental nightmare!

These threads are so cute! 😍 wish my son had asked for this.

Mine has asked for a real owl. The disappointment tomorrow is going to be real 😂
