Gifts we are super excited to give!

[Jasminecosysnug]

Which gift or gifts are you most excited about giving?

i picked up a set of two dinosaur footprint fossils for ds, to go in his extensive fossil collection. They have been in a museum and were being auctioned for charity and are in wooden boxes.
I think he will be pretty excited.

That is so excellent! I'd love them myself! And so great to be able to give a present that he'll likely keep for all of his life. Probably not most people's idea of a good present though...

That’s awesome!!

Wow! How much were they if you don't mind me asking?

I've just got my partner a star map from where we met (Thailand).

You can get them of ETSY or I used this company - picturethestars.com/

oh my god. how much were these? where did you get them? My 11 year old wants more fossils but I cant find anything that isnt either comepletely fake or very very tiny!

Those are excellent!

I've bought DH a very, very expensive and posh steak. He's hard to buy for as doesn't really like "stuff". But he does love steak and cooking steak so I ordered one that he would never justify paying for as he's also quite tight 😁

Tickets to see P!nk for my teenager daughters who LOVE her

Epic gift, bet he’s not expecting those!

The gift I’m most excited to give is an oldish used book on one of the recipients interested in topics. Took me a long time to find one they’ve not already got.

They have a good range of fossils and prices.

my son has been collecting for a while and we have all the more usual ones, plus a hadrosaur egg and piece of triceratops frill. They were expensive.
Footprints were £300 a print.
I am at the point of considering insurance for his whole collection.

I like reading about presents people are excited to give. I like the giving much more than the getting when it comes to presents!

All the parts needed for DS2 to build his own skateboard. He loves putting things together but is getting a bit old for a lot of the kits and they just sit in his room once they're built, I think he'll find it very satisfying when he gets a board he can use every day at the end of it!

Not as unique as a lot on here but dd desperately wanted a trampoline last year and I felt she was too little but this year she is getting one. Its not an enormous one but still, I can hardly wait to see her little face, she's going to be so excited.

DD will get a Christmas ornament as a 20th birthday present so it can be used this year. She will also have a hand painted brooch. Pigeons. She absolutely loves them has rescued a couple but sadly without success. I know she will love them.

It’s not as awesome as those fossils but DS1, I hope, will love them.

DS1 has always had a thing for weird socks. When he was at school wearing coloured or striped socks was the only way he rebelled (and the teachers always turned a blind eye). Anyhow, his girlfriend has a little dog who he absolutely adores. My phone is full of pictures and videos of this little dog, so I’ve got him a pair of socks with this little dog’s face all over them.

Love the fossils gift. Very exciting!

I'm not desperately excited about any of my gifts this year 🤔

But 2 years ago giving the Barbie dream house to my daughter was one of the best ever. I have it on video. She shrieked. Soooooo happy. Memories made!

That's an amazing fossil!!

My eldest has 6 small fossils coming, the biggest is a chunk of megalodon tooth, and there's a mosasaur and spinosaurus Tooth too as well as a couple of ammonite type ones. He has no idea about these so I'm super excited to give it to him, he also has a little museum collection going so he's going to be stoked!

My youngest I'm just looking forward to gifts in general, he loves everything and could happily spend all day in the toy aisles playing with everything, so that's going to be fun. I've no idea what he's going to like most, but I've had to buy 2 RC dinosaurs because I know he would want the one we got our eldest and it would just cause fights if they didn't have one each 😂

It’s not much by any one’s standards but a gift set to a friend she uses Nivea so I know she’ll like it. Also a pillowcase and mask.

@TheFairyCaravan where did you get the dog photo socks from please?

I've bought DD 8 a doll from America that can't be bought here in the uk.
She's been starting to have doubts about Santa and I think him bringing her this doll will probably give us one more year of magic

@ChristmasCwtch I got them from Socks Smile

American girl doll?

LaTangerina no I'd love to get her an American girl but can't justify the price. This is an lol doll from a set that hasn't been released here

Anyone with a teenager know if Boss Bottled Night is an ok fragrance or willl I be hoping for a return to the god awful Lynx (right of passage tho) and apart from Very any bargainous ideas of where to buy ? Thank you

Sorry wrong thread ! Thought I was on the Bargains one - sincere apologies

I’ve bought tickets to Chelsea flower show for DH’s birthday (16th December), and then also booked an Airbnb and tickets to see Matilda (that’s more for me).. trying to decide whether to split between his birthday and Christmas… I’m super excited though!

We are going to Disney land Paris after Xmas. We will give some hints with presents but I guess dc will be surprised and happy.
