Trying not to get anything more he will have plenty of other family gifts. Some great ideas on here too!

I twitched on black Friday and got DD14 a Lego icons succulent set. DSD13 I bought Sonic forces switch game and DD4 is getting Lego Spidey webquarters. Not. Buying. Anything. Else.

Those of you who've bought a Yoto Mini - you won’t be disappointed! It's brilliant. Especially the little radio station and the blank cards that you can put your own tunes on! Also, you can play all your cards via the app, in the car!

Sadly, my DD isn't interested in it due to specific reasons to do with her ASD, but the stories are amazing

I was done but I’ve just RTFT and twitched on a couple of Minecraft weighted blankets from Aldi. I’m also now considering a smoke breathing ender dragon for DS9 but I feel like DS10 already has a much smaller pile of gifts even though they cost way more.

Oh god, Minecraft weighted blankets? I might need to twitch on those! Currently the only thing left on my list is something cosy for the boys and possibly another toy for the middle boy. I am really splendidly happy this year with my choices and DP even commented that he thought their haul was really good and thoughtful this year.

The only thing is their pile is a bit smaller than usual, however I mustn't let that phase me if the stuff is good and they don't need more.

I am debating whether to get middle DS another "toy" toy. He has some really cool items but his big ticket gifts are not really toys in the same way the other 2 have toys if that makes sense? Like for example DD's main gift is a Disney Arendelle Castle, youngest's main gifts are a Mario Airship and Thomas train, but middle DS's main gifts are a balance board and stepping stones.
