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?

Took the kids to see Father Christmas, they were 5 and 6 at the time. My son asked for a chain saw and my daughter a gun. Father Christmas looked horrified!

Not marshmallows, packets of tissues. He pulls them out of the pack and waves them around making a woooo sound = ghosts 😂

When dd2 was 3 she asked for a cuddly carrot. This was many years before Kevin the Carrot, and such a thing was not easily available. I ended up getting her a dog toy carrot which she was delighted with and still has with her cuddly toys.

This made me laugh out loud! Brilliant!

@DueyCheatemAndHow

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.

@DueyCheatemAndHow There is actually The Christmas Bear book by Axel Scheffler (mine adore it, it's erm well loved shall we say? ) Can't help on Wonky Donkey, but maybe someone else knows that one?

@haba hmmm maybe that's what he meant!

We know the wonky donkey series so that's fine

When my daughter was three she asked for a “flying pony”

Hurrah for playmobil Pegasus!

4yo has asked for a chocolate sock. After some questioning, we we established that he wanted to eat it, rather than wear it.

Last year he asked for "a singing fish to cuddle"

I’ve name changed for this as anyone here who knows me would recognise the cake.

Polar bears have been a theme for a few years and this is the cake I had made for my boy by a friend a few years ago.

Our almost 4 year old has asked for a whale! A really big whale!! We have explained Santa can only bring presents which can fit in the house so hopefully he’ll be happy with his cute whale hottie!! Also a yoyo which was actually harder to find!!

That's a brilliant cake!

When my son was about 5 he was obsessed with the film Oliver! He asked Santa for a Lego workhouse. We tried to persuade him to pick some Lego Batman or Harry Potter instead, but no, workhouse was the request!

I love this 😆😆😆 I'll never call them a packet of tissues again!

This has really floored me 😆 I've had a lot of Prosecco and I just can't stop laughing 😂

My son has asked for tinfoil and a litter picker

Thank you @stilldumdedumming - I think you can tell her she'd have lots of customers if she opened a comfort potato etsy store!

I'm really looking forward to seeing this thread tomorrow when presents have been received

@Sux2Buthen

He could team up with my DS and start a small, eccentric cleaning business

@Runningmummy41

Mine wants a penguin, like a real actual penguin. Apparently it’ll sleep under his bed on a block of ice 🤪🐧

I'm in my 30s and still want a penguin!

You'll have to read 'My penguin Osbert' too him. He may change his mind!

Dd asks for blu tack every year!
She also asked for a working typewriter @Pinkflipflop85 She genuinely thinks it's not going to appear but I have it sitting in the boot of my car! My dad has lovingly cleaned and oiled it. I bought a new ribbon and my mum tested out all the keys. I'm looking forward to seeing her face tomorrow!

This thread is wonderful! My DD is only 9 months old so hasn’t asked for anything but I can’t wait until she’s old enough to😍😂.

DD when she was 3 - a T-Rex, a real one, to keep in the garden

DD wants a white board for her bedroom, "so I can write things on it then I won't forget to do them."

I have a huge whiteboard by the front door with a weekly schedule, appts, meal planner on etc and she loves it.

One year she asked for Baby Jesus. Real Baby Jesus. Funnily enough Santa couldn't deliver that one.

@Leodot ditto my DD is 3 months but I can't wait for the magic of Christmas when she understands and for the bonkers requests. This thread has made me chuckle!
