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.

I’ll go first.

Money, Nike hoodie, joggies, stone island t shirt, psalm angel t shirt , represent hoodie , new controller for ps5, some aftershave that I've never heard of, boxers, socks, a hamper full of munchies and a stocking which includes a Celtic icons t shirt and a mug with a picture of him and the cat

DD 22

Large Paddington Bear plushy
Rat hammocks and similar from Etsy

As you can see there's a theme.

Absolutely no judgement but I am curious as to how people who buy a large number of gifts for several children have the room to store it. Surely it could only fit in a rather large house. 🤔

Just curious as to how other people live differently to me. Which of course is perfectly valid. No negativity. I'm being nosey and nice. 😁

Stockings
I have pens, cuddly toys, chocolate coins and magazines.

One downside to doing Christmas shopping early is that I’ve bought items since my big shop and now I have more presents than intended. Also my lists are unbalanced as my one year old already has lots of toys for his age and plus he doesn’t know what’s going on.

Thanks yes I'd like to try the cream soda too. Can't go wrong with 7up, think I'll get it when our lemonlime runs out, the one I got is more like a bitter lemon. I'd love to try the raspberry type ones too.

did I stuff up getting summer fridays instead of laneige? I had it in my basket too!

We have a loft, my sister stays near me and she has no kids so can store there and also my mums house ad yes its stressful hahaha.

@bitjel summer Fridays is a lip balm, Laniege a lip mask. Both ridiculously overpriced and both very well loved by the same age group so not a stuff up!

laneige had a couple of offers on before Christmas so probably why more people opted for that (I got the laniege minis for £18 whereas the cheapest I could find the summer Fridays balm was £23)

@Almostgotshaggedcupoftea so happy to hear a teen into My Chemical Romance! So many memories from my teenage years
