What unusual presents are you buying your kids for Christmas? I thought it would be fun to hear! My 7 year old is getting a foot spa. He is going to absolutely love it 😂

Ah we had blu tack last year, went down well.

My 4 year old will get a big pack of masking tape. It’ll be gone within a week!

Ds7 has asked for a cucumber every year for Christmas and birthdays since he could talk, and he’s still insistent on it this year 😂
It’s his favourite food and he doesn’t like that we usually all eat the cucumber in the fridge, so he wants one that’s all his. And he eats all of it on Christmas morning 😂

My mum always used to buy my sister's children a roll of sellotape and a pack of blu tack every year for their stockings. They loved it!

That's so cute. Do you have a garden or greenhouse? Buy him some seeds too so he can grow his own.

This is so so funny and I can imagine my 6 year old doing something similar

@FoxtrotOscarKindaDay That is such a brilliant idea - thank you! We only have a small garden but he would love even just trying to grow our own (even if we’re not very successful!)

Dd12 is getting chopsticks in her stocking. She absolutely loves hers, so 8 found her some bunny themed ones.
and im putting franks hot sauce in DS stocking as he loves it when we have domino’s, which is not often so I thought I throw on in his stocking.

Great thing about cucumbers is they can be grown vertically so are perfect for a small garden!

What is it with kids and blutac? My youngest also had that in her stocking one year. My eldest, a pack of spaghetti. Still don’t know why to this day!

A 500 pack of printer paper. Kid draws like a machine, he gets really excited having a fresh stack of so much to play with 😂
