Birthday gifts during the Coronavirus

[Madhatter54792]

What gifts am I supposed to give my children when i cant leave the house to buy them? Does anyone have any ideas?

Christmas won’t be cancelled

If it’s still bad then there won’t be any economy going at all.

It was my granddaughters birthday last week, I bought her an outfit and a little game from Asda when I did my shopping and put £20 in a card for her.

It’s my dds birthday on 16th . I ordered stuff to decorate the house with and pressies from Amazon

Is that a 13 year old boy or girl? My just turned 12 year old no longer likes toys. She had a make up palette by Morphe, perfume, jewellery and money so she can get clothes. Is the 13 year old into online games or has games console? Or do they need a new bike so they can do their daily exercise on it?

@user471590586er 13 year old girl. Should I give her money or just tell her she can have a certain amount to spend either online in in shops when we can. I dont want her to be disappointed when she doesn't get anything on her birthday

My Dds birthday is this Saturday. I got some
Air pods from Argos, some clothes from Adidas, a chair from cult furniture.

madhatter - what's your 13 year old into? Sports/ make up / you tube/ craft?

It was my ds13 birhthday last week. I got him the stuff he'd ask for from t'internet. Unlike his useless tosser of a father who got him naff all blaming the current situation. Dick.

DS has Lego for his in June. I bought it on offer in early March.
We have used Smyths and the Entertainer since this started, just before the schools finished to grab things to keep him happy, Easter presents etc.
I will be doing all my Christmas shopping as soon as lockdown is lifted so I’m ready for the winter ones.

As well as the outlets in Sainsburys, Argos also deliver for a small to most areas for a small fee, if you prefer not to go out.

13 year old something gaming or phone related. Makeup and hair stuff for experimenting and selfie taking. An IOU a clothes shopping trip. My 14 year old son had pants and pyjamas and was allowed to move his PlayStation into his bedroom, a dream come true!

OP have a look on Etsy and Not On The High Street. They do lots of personalised things - make up bags, pencil cases, etc etc. My soon to be 15yr old is getting presents from there - earrings, journal, little lights that are photo holders/pegs, a cushion. There's lots of craft stuff for your younger one (got a wooden rainbow to paint this week), colouring books etc. Actually did about 6 orders at the beginning of next week and 3 have arrived already.

Not "next" week, "last" obviously

My fiance and I ordered gifts at a similar time for each others birthday as they are close together. The gifts arrived very quickly in fact there hasn't been much difference in delivery times here.
