For my 14 year old it’s apparently the latest Disney Villainous game expansion! Delighted with it!

A years subscription to kindle audible, he is dyslexic and loves listening to books.

For my 5 year old nephew it’s a little robot which you can make talk and also listen into conversation from afar with a remote and for my 3 year old niece it seems to be a tie between a musical twirling ballerina jewellery box and a toy puppy that barks and walks.

A giant chupa chups lolly filled with little ones. I think he's eaten most of them already.

DS1 (16) a hideously expensive jacket

DS2 (11) a Lego McLaren and a fluffy McLaren blanket which I had printed on Red Bubble

My eldest DD got a Wacom tablet so she can draw digitally on the computer. She's a very talented artist and she's aching to get back to creating already.

Middle DD received a sewing machine so I guess I'm never going to have to buy another pillowcase.

Marmelace · 25/12/2021 16:02

Oh and a graphics tablet with screen, he didn't get much else mind.

MsSquiz · 25/12/2021 16:03

2 yea told DD loves her Melissa and Doug ice cream counter.
We knew it would be a hit because she'd been in love with it at a play session we did, but she still has unopened presents because she'd rather play with that!

friedeggandsauce · 25/12/2021 16:06

X box! They wanted one last year but we couldn't get one and they were so surprised as didn't think it would happen

SleepingStandingUp · 25/12/2021 16:06

The 2 year olds have commandeered Mr Potato Head from their older brother, 6,, who's favourite is a Sonic play set and figures

DD 6 has played with her goal and worn her football kit all day.

Blossom64265 · 25/12/2021 16:06

13yo. Ceiling light.

She has really needed a new one for a while. It wouldn’t count as a gift, except we bought one that will change color and is voice controlled.

Mommabear20 · 25/12/2021 16:09

DD (18 months) absolutely loves the mega blocks we got her! Those and the leggings from an aunt that she's been wearing on her head all day 😂

DS doesn't understand as he's on 5 months old but seems happy to just chill out and take it all in, in between naps 😂

RagzReturnedUnwrapped · 25/12/2021 16:11

Cuddly Death.
It's a Squishmallow Halloween edition, grim reaper. DD(11) absolutely loves it. I also bought her a mini printer for her phone and a stylus for her (school issued) ipad, but Cuddly Death is definitely favourite.
DS(14) a Victorinox Rosewood handled chef knife is favourite. He's helped chop the veg for dinner.

Nc123 · 25/12/2021 16:12

Ds1 - his kindle
DS2 - a showgirl headdress

Trudij123 · 25/12/2021 16:15

A unicorn ponycycle - he’s currently utterly gorgeous and soft - and watching TV while DD is foraging. DP and I have a bet on how long he stays so white and fluffy, neither of us think he’ll last to the weekend 😂

moostermum that’s really made me laugh. Xmas Grin

15 year old big stuffed snow leopard & novels

My child is a teenager and he was happy with all the gifts he got.He is really into sport and fitness so we got him a few things from Gymshark (to replace the Decathlon/Primark bits that are starting to look a bit worst for wear).He was also happy with the towels with his own initials that I got him instead of the new pj's he usually gets at Christmas.I feel for all the parents that today got a negative reaction to the presents they have given to their kids.My sibling had the same with his son , he was quite upset about it.

CoffeeChocolateWine · 25/12/2021 16:23

I’m really pleased with how it’s gone today because my DC didn’t give me much to go on so it was mainly me choosing surprises for them but it all seems to have gone down really well. Biggest hits were…
DS(13) - wireless ear buds, Alexa echo dot and smart LED strip lights which he can control with Alexa.
DD(9) - Lego friends set (no surprises) and Harry Potter calligraphy set
DD(3) - interactive puppy toy called Hope the rainbow husky and ear muffs!

Thesearmsofmine · 25/12/2021 16:24

DC1 a card shuffler that I randomly bought on a whim
DC2 a remote control car
DC3 Lego

We got that for DD last year and it is still well played with. Niece got it today and loves it too. It's really good.

This year is all about Beyblades (DS, 5) and a doll's hairdressing chair and accessories (DD, 4)

Bellafrenum · 25/12/2021 16:25

Remote control stunt tank and a pet cat toy on a lead that purrs and meows.

MrPoppysParka · 25/12/2021 16:29

DD 7 - Heelys. She’s nearly gone arse over tit about 20 times 🙈

mumofEandE · 25/12/2021 16:29

DD (16) Reading tickets but she loved the hat I got her (it was a cheap version I had yet to add)
