So…. What have you got the kids?!

[TheGirlWhoLived]

I KNOW it’s not to everyone’s taste, I KNOW people could/will pile on about excess and budgets and gluttony, greed, and the spirit of baby Jesus himself … but I’m nosy and want to know 😁 I’m also here for the very divisive annual Christmas Fridge bunfight in a couple of weeks.

Thanks @ariaknox shes almost 15 and has read a couple of YA series with similar themes, from
what I can glean on common sense media it seems ok for her, appreciate the heads up though!

No problem wasnt trying to be annoying just thought i'd let you know x

Is that two presents each?

Your son is a lord!? 😁

Glad to see some posters posting more sensible lists. I’m sorry but the ones with 10-15 presents are obscene, when you add in the pressies they’ll be getting from wider family as well.

Jesus christ, how do you lot afford to buy so much crap for one day and where does it all go??
Genuine question as I'm forever decluttering so I've bought my fair share of plastic crap over the years but never this much at once.
We only buy one each for everyone in the home.

Trainers
Tracksuit
Hoodie
Pin art thing
Bubble tea kit

Yep. My mum bought him a title a few years ago because he thought it was funny. And he hates "stuff" so no point buying things unless he wants them.

Quite an assumption people have wider families that buy for them!
