What was your children's favourite Christmas present?

[seeker]

My 14 year old dd is bizarrely delighted by her 10 (count them) 10 pairs of socks! She got a pair of slipper socks from the Pyjama Fairy, a pair of cahsmere bedsocks from Father Christmas, 4 pairs of Pringle socks from her Great Aunt, and 2 separate packs of 2 pairs of multi coloured wellie socks from different relations. We are seeing more people today, and she is hoping for still more socks! She gave all her school frienda fluffy socks full of biscuits - it's obviously the in thing this year!

Ds is only 2 so we didn't get him too much but I think the wooden barn with extra animals was a hit - he's playing with it most of the time (well, the animals anyway).
However, the thing he keeps asking to play with is the packet of bubble mixes that I got as a small extra to go in his bubble gun - that boy loves his bubbles!

DS aged ten votes for his new TV with built in DVD player. (What am I going to do with all the old childrens' videos that are left behind!!)

ds1 (14) - iphone and record player for all his dad's old LPs
dd (12)- not sure but think it will be a toss up between new Sims games and skullcandy headphones for her ipod
ds2 (8) - Nerf guns and Lego

We also got Buzz music quiz for whole family which is proving v popular

DS1 (7) - Lego Star Wars MTT Trade Federation ship. We shall be building it for days to come I think.

DS2 (5) Lego Star Wars AT-TE walker. DH is helping him build it.

We are drowning in a sea of lego but they love it and so do we

hello MrsB!

a fire steel is one of those things where you strike it and it makes sparks
to light a fire outdoors
like this

A Radio Flyer. The baby keeps climbing into it and sits in lonely splendour in the hallway, waiting for someone to pull her around.

And DD1 has fallen in love with a pair of Disney Princess spangly drssing up shoes. Sigh. At least they are blue, not pink.

go go hamster
tinkerbell jewellery (shame)
who knows whose noses

ds1 - several creatures preserved in resin blocks and dragonfly pinned on board and framed

ds2 - bendy bus from poundland. Does not bend; very upset, but loved it anyway. Broken already from forcible bending. Still loves it.

dd (5.6)a set of plastic drawers with craft stuff, tracing paper, mirror card, her own selotape dispenser, glue, a million sequins she was so excited!

ds (2.6) a Mack from Cars with lightening Mcqueen inside. Not bought by us

my dds have not put their tamagotchis down since they opened them at crack of dawn yesterday

It looks really fun. How I wish I was a six year old twin!

DS1 loves his £1,000,000 note, and has pledged to buy us a bigger house. DD has played non-stop with her vacuum cleaner. (I can see this coming in handy!)DS2's favourite is a fire engine.

DS1 - Lego Ferrari (2 million pieces, grrrrr!)
DS2 - Lego City Dumptruck
DS3 - Lego Duplo

Do you see a pattern emerging here ??

DSi forthe older two, ds for ds3 (lastminute as he lost his old one), ELC whirly garage for ds4

Very few misses this year though

ds2 age 3 loves his itng aqua draw

Go Go hamsters and my DD's have made their own house out of a box from another present due to not having the proper house!

Works a treat and the hamsters find their way out of the make shift doors.

Worth every bit of the nightmare of getting hold of them.

Ds loves his DS.

We releneted when he told us that he was the only kid in his school that does not have one.

Ds1 - Star Wars Clone Trooper dress up (which he hasn't taken off since he opened it - even wore to bed!) and Clone Trooper Ultimate blaster gun thing

Ds2 - Mack Track Challenge

Both - Sonic the hedgehog soft toys

mario kart with 2 steering wheels..

they were beside themselves with excitement where as they were very happy to get the other gifts.

Ds (4) a green ball which has bounced up and down the stairs all day and cost about 50p ,Husband- a book about cars -even thought I got him a gyrocopter flight.Grr
Mine was pampering sesh
Sorry just read it was about children!

dd favourite is the Sylvanian caravan
ds1 ipod touch, he has barely taken his eyes off it
ds2 warhammer figures, he has set up a workshop to put them all together, I am providing regular food and drink

DD adores her rats. She won't leave them alone and has sat in a little chair by the cage since she got them and talks to them constantly.

She's feeding them bits of bread and hula hoops as we speak.

DS - Go Go hamster, as predicted

DD - 'That's not my Snowman /Reindeer' books. Loves 'em!

my ds loves his laptop ,
my dd1 loves the cheap plastic mobile phone from next that i put in her stocking , however so does dd2 so theres been a lot of fighting !!!

DD says Twister is her favourite - didn't ask if it was playing it herself or watching mummy and daddy tie themselves in knots that is the best bit.

DK1 (darling kitten) - the box DD's Littlest Pet Shop Tail Waggin' Gym (barf) came in.

DK2 - the arrival of something that looked exactly like DH, only bigger (BiL).
