Tell me what 'Santa' is bringing your children this year

[MrsBobo]

Just being a nosy so and so lol

I have a boy age 6 who has asked Santa for the Vtech Kidizoom with the tripod.
I have another boy aged 3 who has asked Santa for a wooden train set

😁

Mine haven’t been asking for anything so I’m here for Santa inspo!

5 and 7. Santa might bring them a big joint Lego tub.

The five year old will have outgrown his bike AND his scooter so we’re spoiled for choice there (£££!)

Bit stuck for the seven year old (girl)

@Rainallnight Lego is always a safe bet, my boys love it! Same with bike/scooter.

As for your daughter, I can't help unfortunately as only have boys, when I was that age I loved anything crafty, like the tie dye/bathbomb sets, I was obsessed, but I know times have changed (dramatically!), hopefully some more girl mums will pop up! 🎄

My 15ye old DD has asked for an iPad, myself and dh have just had our phones upgraded so we traded the old ones in against a second hand iPad. I also bought her a Pandora charm on holiday and she wants a dressing gown. We get get her some tat from Poundland and that will be it this year.

My 5yr old has asked for a scooter, a mega chomp shark and fx baby Blue (Jurassic world dinosaur)

My nearly 2yr old is too little to ask for stuff yet but thinking about a balance bike and some puzzles/books and Bluey stuff as that is his fave atm.

Newborn is getting a Jumperoo to pop away for when he is a bit bigger, clothes, touchy feely books and some nice bowls/cups etc to pop away for when it’s time to wean.

Pants and socks.
Usually some novelty bath stuff (ds1 had unicorn bubble bath last year)
Chocolate coins
Then usually nice pens/fidget toy, although they've got loads of those now so I'm not sure

@wildwestpioneer Sounds like a lovely present for a teenage girl. 😀

@Aug12 It's hard isn't it when they are younger and don't really know what they want!

Edited - As tags didn't showup!

4 year old needs a new bike so is asking for one from santander.

10 year old wants a surprise for the third year in a row. I'm thinking about a laptop because I can't think of anything else!

I’ve got a list of stuff I think they’ll like. It’ll be shared between santa, parents and relatives.

My 3 year old is getting:

• Animals of the world Duplo set
• Camping Duplo set
• Extra Duplo bricks
• Kinetic sand
• Art and Craft stuff (crayola do some scented pens I think he’d like)
• Magna-tiles
• Doctor set (although I’m struggling to find a nice one that looks sturdy enough).
• City pathfinder puzzle: https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/classic-world/city-2-in-1-pathfinder/31179?colour=multi
• Maybe this puzzle game: https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/smartmax/safari-park-jr/31114?colour=multi

My 18 month old is getting:

• Toy garage (Little Dutch so it fits with all their Brio and IKEA train stuff)
• Little Dutch town building blocks
• Toy tea set
• Toy food that ‘cuts up’
• ’wow’ toy cars
• Viga construction bench box (he’d love a full size bench but there’s not really room).
• JoJo Maman Bebe wooden farm
• Scooter/bike (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Globber-Foldable-Folding-Scooter-Wheels/dp/B0BL7NJZZX/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=3+in+1+Scooter&qid=1696424224&sr=8-9).

They’ll probably also get some books and Chococo chocolate dinosaurs.

They’re also at an age where they’ll usually share toys (although not necessarily at the same time!)

@Monkeymonkeymoo Some fab ideas, thank you! Yes, mine are at an age where they share (mostly) their toys, so I do bare this in mind when buying.

If your 3 year old is after a wooden train set then I’d recommend:

• The Little Dutch station and town building blocks.
• The Brio bridge and tunnel
• Track from wherever is cheapest (we have stuff from IKEA, Tesco and Aldi and it all fits together/with the Brio and Little Dutch stuff). Make sure whatever you buy has plenty of shorter pieces and double ended pieces or you risk a very frustrating Boxing Day!
• Wooden vehicles from battat (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battat-BT2706Z-Wooden-Vehicles-6pcs/dp/B08SCCCZSN/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=KORVZMH58MTD&keywords=battat+cars&qid=1696426465&sprefix=battat+cars%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-4. They run along the tracks and they’re great quality for the price. There are 2 sets and we have both- they’re my go to gift for birthday parties)
• Trains. We have the Little Dutch ones but I think any would be fine. Brio does a battery one that runs by itself. It’s expensive but my 3 year old thinks it’s magic.

The track is literally all the same but I’ve found it better to get higher quality (and sturdier) buildings, tunnels and bridges so they withstand toddler play (especially things with smaller plastic bits that move like gates and signals).

BigJigs and Brio also have some Christmas themed track accessories.

As you can probably tell I did a lot of research on this last Christmas 😂😂

Dd gets a stocking and then one main gift, these are both from Father Christmas as we don't do gifts from us separately. This year she's gone Barbie mad so we've got a Barbie Dreamhouse from a couple of years ago. Her stocking will be things like a book, a barbie, a puppy surprise tin, a lol doll, a mini craft kit, knickers, socks, small Polly pocket, chocolate etc.

At this rate, nothing but coal 😂

Sylvanian Families set?

DS19 is getting a MacBook

15 dd requested Oner Active sportswear
13 dd requested White Fox hoodie
The first year EVER they have asked for anything.
Looking at a birds of prey experience day between them too.
Fewer presents here this year but wanting things they will love and use

Our 7 year old ds is getting a
PS5 and games
karaoke machine
Harry Potter Schleich
Lego
An Easel
Art supplies
Board games
Switch games
A scooter
And whatever else we come up with between now and then

My ds10 is having
-a PS5 (purchased from EE so added to my phone bill for £35 a month for 12 months)
-an air up bottle (got it for half price on offer!)
-adidas trainers (£19.50 in the sale)
-adidas tracksuit

I’ll also get him some Lynx and some chocolates and a Teddy. He is spending Christmas Day with his dad this year so will have a full Christmas Day there then come home on Boxing Day to do it all again!

DS who will be 2.5 years old is getting a wooden train set. Not sure what else but that’s the main present.

DS5 is going to ask him for a Chomp Shark and DD7 always wants a surprise from Santa soars year she asked for something rainbow coloured. This year will be a similar idea I think, so Santa will need to have a think...

DD 19 would like a drawing tablet. Just trying to identify best one within budget.

Blimey what else is there??

@Frankinbeans your asking the bank to give your son a bike? I need to open an account with them if they are giving out prezzies! 😂

@00100001 God knows but I'll surely think of something🤣🤣

Here for inspiration. 7 Yr old DD wants mermaidcorns, puppycorns, the Barbie dolls in a tube with outfits - basically plastic crap! 🙄

A cuddly cat has been requested from my nearly 7DD - who knows if there will be further advance on that?!?
