I seem to be missing a present

Not because I bought it & lost it but because it didn't occur to me that it needed buying

I'm getting a bit worried DD doesn't want much

The book "A Christmas Carol" which I got out the library as I didn't realise it was a pressie wish
A charm bracelet - like nana's - but she will be getting nana's one day

She has got
Cook book
2 novels
a cardi
a dvd
& spillikins

These all appear to be stocking fillers

But I do seem to be missing a present - what on earth shall I get her

game for her ds.

Twinklemegan · 22/12/2007 23:45

OK, I've seen that abbreviation twice now. What is a ds when it's at home?

Which one?

She mentioned something about one that is a baby - but the idea turned me cold as it was followed up by "how soon can I have a baby?"

Twinklemegan · 22/12/2007 23:46

How old is your DD?

Sometimes a load of small presents is just a nice as a big one.

urgh, no, not that baby one.

there is dolphin island, cats2 and dogs2 now. they are meant to be good for older ones.

my dd's are a wee bit younger than your dd i think.

Ah, I thought I'd heard it before but couldn't place it - thanks. My 16 month old's not into that stuff yet.

Do you mean Imagine Babies ?? Dd2 is having that (free too ), said she can't wait to feed all of the babies and change their bums LOL.

But DD actually does feed babies (but not change bums no CRB check) so I really don't want to encourage that

I would get her a charm bracelet - it might be a while before she gets her nana's one.

Ot how about a kind of half-way-measure - a troll bracelet - you collect the beads to make the bracelet.

like this

I think some of the high street jewellers are now doing them.

I'd get her the charm bracelet - Past Times appear to be doing some cute little silver ones.

That way you get out of the "when nana dies" conversation.
