Hi

Whats everyone getting their boys for main presents? If you do mains.

Hes got an ipad, scooter, not interested in a bike.
Uses his dad’s PS5 if he wants but he’s never on it.

Into Minecraft and I’ve bought stuff for that but there’s nothing for a big present from that.

I’ve asked him but he has no idea 🙃

Hopefully this works!
I’ve usually bought so much by now but in really struggling this year for ideas.

Bargain thread!

Thank you ☺️

A micro scooter as the current metal one is like taking a ballistic missile to the shins when carrying it anywhere..

My 8 year old has been asking for a bearded dragon for years. After buying him presents each year that he hasn’t actually wanted I’m giving in and he’s getting it this year.

And maybe an mp3 player, but I might save this for another year

This is my 7-year-old son’s most-used item, although he doesn’t have an iPad or anything like that which I guess could be used for the same purpose? We got him a proper old-school Alba mp3 player, like we used to have in the 00s from Argos. I think it was about a tenner, but we also got headphones on top as he didn’t have any. Preloaded it with all his favourite songs and he’s never without it, any quiet moment and we suddenly hear him howling along to Chaka Khan 😆 highly recommend!
