I have started to ask friends what their kids want and have given friends and family ides for things to buy mine.
The 2 eldest are 7 (SN's) and 3 at the end of the year.
So far I have either bought or asked for
Tickets to a show - Sleeping Beauty ballet or Cinderalla show at Shaw theatre or The Snowman
Some playmobil (the swimming pool, playground, ice-cream palour)
a globe and a chuildrens atlas
a 4d head & torso anatomy puzzle and an inside your body book
first encclopedias
a ballerina and a princess barbie each
a 3 wheel mini micro scooter for the 2 yr old
a personal CD player with singalong microphone from ELC for the 7 yr old
Links or Thomas Sabo charms for their Links charm bracelets
a personalised football top for DD1
glittery, sparkly shoes for dd2
DVDs for DD1 (Kung Foo Panda, Wall-E etc)
And then I've also got them some stocking fillers, new Xmas DVD (beauty & Beast xmas special story thing) and a new Xmas book (grinch who stole Xmas) and of course the PJ's!!!
