Nearly done!

But I'm stumped for one of my DSes (young adult) so hoping for inspiration!

DH is getting a small painting he liked from an exhibition earlier in the year (I think he might suspect this is coming!), a garden ornament, and towels that match his rugby club colours

Other DS is getting a new Garmin (he knows about this) plus a running belt and posh brand running socks as a surprise

DD is getting a GHD hot brush

DS is 14 and is getting a go pro and a perfume.

DD is 10 and getting an instax camera and perfume.

Also buy for my DF, DB and family, DSis and family and a couple of close friends. Got some beautiful gifts for them although we limit it to around £20/30 pp. Never had a discussion about the value but all seem to have fallen into it and it works fab.

I’m nearly finished! I can feel a twitch coming on for the kids though. It’s not Christmas without a last minute twitch 😁

Ds (8) has got some gaming stuff, beast lab, Roblox/Godzilla/Pokémon/rainbow friends/Jurassic world figures and toys, Lego, geodes and board games. Then the usual assorted chocolates and an annual which they all get.

Dd (5) has got a wooden dressing up rail and mirror which I’m going to fill with costumes, play doh, art supplies, mermaid Barbie, kiddizoom watch, Cocomelon toys, mermaidcorn (whatever the hell that is!), and a Gabby’s dollhouse ship that I found at a bargain price!

Dd2 (2) has got an Amazon kids tablet (Black Friday bargain!), play doh kitchen (courtesy of the bargain thread!), Our generation doll, Happyland play set with some extra figures, Duplo, Ballerina Barbie so she doesn’t steal her sisters, dressing up costume and some Peppa Pig bits.

Im considering getting my five year old a rainbow high doll. She’s non verbal so most of her gifts are guesses based on what she currently plays with and the adverts she stops and pays attention too. She seems VERY interested in the rainbow high adverts and magazine at the moment!
