What is the main present for your dc's this year?

[busymummy3]

We have 3 dc's 12 yrs girl 10 yrs boy and 6yrs girl . DD1 wants lots of little things DS wants an xbox elite and DD2 wants the Roby boy doll to finish the collection she already has.

DS1 playmobile police car - trying to persaude grandparents to get the police station between them
DS2 is only 4 months - thought I might rewap up some old toys belonging to DS1

No one big present for 7y DD this year. Main present (or rather her FC present) is a new scooter. Also has a few other presents.

ds an ipod
dd1 polly pocket stuff
dd2 wheelybug

go go hamster things to share

dd1 (7) DSi probably

dd2 (5) star wars lego of some description and the PS3 eye pets game.

dd3 (2) ...no idea..she is getting a doll for her birthday though which is 10 days before

ds is getting a wembley season ticket
dd is getting a pony

We've got Ds (4) the ELC Big City Garage.

I have bought them each a french gite.
There will be other smaller gifts such as the laptops, Ipods, Xbox's, just stocking fillers this year.

DS (4) a bike and Dora the Explorer computer game.

DD (21mths) Peppa pig toy lap top and soft Peppa pig same size as her

DD1 (5) - go go pets to share with DD2, Dancing Dora doll and a Vtech camera

DD2 (4) - go go pets, and a spitting biting dinosaur

DD3 (17 months) Peppa Pig Pram and a big Peppa Pig to push around in it

DD1 and 2 are also getting an MP3 player and speakers they can share (!) for their room

Then there is the usual jigsaws, books, Barbies, Hulk playset for DD2, HM guitar and mikes, oh doctors and vets dress up sets. Trying to get a good variety of toys and nothing too big as we don't have the room.

simpson - I think our DDs are getting the same Peppa Pig

Santa has said no more dolls in this hosue we have far too many but I bet someone buys them a doll each, one year we had 4 of the same baby doll, I have given loads away to toddler groups etc I think relatives think "little girls = dolls" feel ungrateful now though.

Ds wants Hotwheels having been suckered by the adverts but reviews say they're awful.

So in all likelihood:

DS(5) Playmobil or Scalextric & books
DD (3) 1st bike & books

Hotwheels playsets - waste of money alert!!!!!

For my DS1 it is the Club Penguin Igloo
DD is having a DS
DS2 maybe the Imageinext Helicopter

DS (2.4) is getting a train set and playtable to put it all on (the table is more for our sanity tbh than his enjoyment )

What an interesting thread! DSs (6,4) are getting Pitchcar.

Who am I kidding - the kids are just an excuse to buy the toys I want!

DD1 (3) - elc goosefeather farm set, electronic bongos (oh yeah!) lots of playmobil, dinosaurs, stocking fillers.

I have got the family a Wii + games.

I feel it's worth mentioning that we have no other family, so what dd gets from us is all she gets! Not just because me and dh love Xmas and over-do it...

dd (4) - Little Einsteins rocket from santa and a DS lite with nintendogs from us

ds1 (3) - Ben 10 scooter from santa and a duplo firestation and a lovely wooden firetruck from us

ds2 (10 months) - a wheelybug from santa and against my better judgement a fisher price animal train from us

we've got lots of other bits and pieces for them as well.

i've been picking up things here and there for months so they have books, dvd's and a few smaller presents each, not to mention the Wii that's there as a family present thanks to MoL giving us some cash a few months back.

we spoil them but then they don't get spoiled any other time of the year and we've had a few rotten lean christmas' so we enjoy spending the money on them.

DS1(10) is getting the lego pyramid game, a robot & a lego star wars wii game.
DS2 (6) is getting the playmobil police station & a Ben 10 MP3 player

Main present is a 4 in 1 games table... table footie, air hockey, ping pong and pool. This is between DS (9) and DD (11). They found it in the Letterbox catalogue and asked for it for the family.

We got the Roby doll for DD for her birthday which is only a couple of days before Christmas.

DS (8)wants an iPod, a Liverpool jersey (to add to the massive collection of jerseys he has!), some WWE bits and a PS game of WWE. I have also got him some board games - Trionimoes and Mastermind and a Star Wars model to build. I am also about to order a set of Astrosaurs books from The Book People for him.

Stocking fillers are a small Lego Creator set, WWE Tattoos, WWE Top Trumps some chocolate coins and a couple of satsumas. Maybe some other bits if I spot anything interesting.

ds (8) is getting a beano subscription and a ukelele
dd is getting a marble run and a drum.

We have a no plastic rule in force this christmas due to the avalanche of plastic tat produced by recent birthdays.
