Come on then tell us what you have got them…

[Allromanticsmeetthesamefate]

I haven’t seen one of these thread yet this year and with lots of “help need ideas for…” type posts thought might be useful, plus I’m nosy and love hearing what everyone has bought their DC

(misers, moaners and the “DC should only gets a resource book, pair of socks and a satsuma” brigade need not comment.)

Three teenage girls 14, 17 & 18 was in my element shopping for them this year if I’m honest.

Phew all done, looking at this I think there is a gap in my youngest DD’s sack (like to keep things equal) so I’d love to read what you have all got your DC.

12yo DS:
Stocking is chocolate coins, chocolate covered marzipan bars, an eye mask, mini jenga, mini gingerbread house, little Lego set, a paperback book.

Presents- 2 Lego sets, the Beano annual, a press out and make aeroplane book.

I think that's it. I do the stocking, DH the presents.

Dd is 7

Stocking:
Notebook and pen
Slime mini burger
Top trumps
Maileg mouse
Mini marbles
Reading books
Activity book
Chelsea doll and clothes
Cat cuddly toy
Hair slides
Bracelet kit
Stickers

Main:
Ouchies puppy and diy vet kit
Squish alongs set (suitcase and backpack) and creatures
Mama surprise puppies set
Art set
Vet Barbie

I've a feeling there was something else for the stocking, but I've forgotten what it is!

That’s wild! An iPhone is not a table present.
I can’t imagine what you’ve spent?

What on earth is a table present?

Well it is as I have ordered them and they are going to be wrapped and given at the table.

Voila…a table present.

I hope your son has a lovely Christmas.

Lovely, I miss the Maileg mouse stage.

It’s a present you leave on a child’s bed.

A stocking and a sack?

A judgy comment and nothing to add of relevance to the post?

nice stealth brag post

Surely that’s a bed present??

Dear me! I actually find this quite shocking and depressing!

Not unlike your user name.

You sound real fun.

Oh come on!!! 🙄

Sounds like a lovely xmas day for them hope you all have a fantastic day .

My boys are much older now 20 and 21 both working so get what they want when they want it but have got them both lovely presents that they have asked for plus a load of surprises and a huge chocolate & sweets snack bag . And we are booked for a lovely xmas dinner so no cooking can all just relax and chill ( when I finish work)

Might steal your idea of a table present

DS (13)
Nintendo Switch (reconditioned 2nd hand)
Books
Partick Thistle hat and scarf
Slinky
Laser pointer
Drone

DD(10)
PC (reconditioned 2nd hand
Vanity table
Books
Deer print coat

Various cheap cosmetics

Stockings:
Fluffy socks
Felt pens and Sketch pad
Chewing gum
Chocs
Christmas pudding bath bomb

OP you can get snarky but those lists are insane. I can't imagine ever giving my kids so much stuff in one go. You must be able to see that your post is quite insensitive. There are thousands of posters on Mumsnet struggling to find the cash for one main present. There was really no need to share those lists.

Not sure there's anything stealthy about it! Isn't it just outright bragging?
😆

You are asking to be judged. This is a braggy stealth post and nothing more. Your present list is ridiculous.

I got a record player and vinyls for my birthday this year from DP, having expressed no interest in a record player beforehand, and I have to say I surprisingly LOVE it. Music sounds so much better.

I hope your daughter enjoys hers!

This is a public forum @Grumpycowww
(love the user name btw!) it has members from all over the world and of many varying cultures and demographics posting about all kind of life experiences, privileges, lifestyles and choices. There is a shopping/style section, class debates, the jump of going from 2-3 children private V Grammar school debate and often a “how much do you pay your cleaner” thread.

If I want to post what I have got my own 3 wonderful, hard working DC with my own cash I am absolutely free to do so.

Merry Christmas to you @Notmyreality hope you have a lovely time.

You put it out there.
So much stuff! It should be possible for children to be happy with less than all this. Stocking, sacks, main present and a table present???
Just so materialistic. Think about the environment!
Very insensitive to those struggling to provide minimum in these difficult times.

Ahh @Crushed23 thank you. She has asked for it for the last 3 years but I have never given in as her room was never tidy enough for me to feel she would take cake of the vinyl, however she has made a real effort the last 8 months to keep everything clean and tidy so I’m really excited to surprise her with it on Christmas morning!
