Main Christmas Present

[Bibiboo]

I won't pretend this thread is anything other than pure nosiness - what are your children's main Christmas presents this year? I know this will vary according to age, but I'm trying to get a feel for what will be exopected of me when dd grows up ... and how much £££ I'm going to have to save for it (gulp)

This year DD (14 months) will be having a ride-on-car and 3 cuddly fimbles as her main present.

ds is 2.1 and main present is keyboard from elc and a wooden pirate ship that was £10 on ebay.

ds1 whos almost 10 is getting a portable dvd player,ds2 is getting a gamecube and dd getting a three storey wooden dolls house fully furnished and with dolls.Thats just the start of the £600 i have spent for them for xmas.

DS1's main present(4) is a bike.

Ds2 only 6 months so too young to have a main present. All toys seem to be pretty similar for that age group

dd2 age 4 polly pocket rollercoaster 25 quid dd1 something of the same price range, age 7 plus a couple of 9-99-14.99 pressies, a few fiver ones and loads of under a fiver art and crafty bits and bobs. Like paint your own stone and fridge magnets etc

ds is 18 months and is getting a big garage thing from elc...35.00 but not much else from us as he spends his whole life playing with his sister's stuff!

DD will be 4 on xmas day so is getting her first bike this year - roughly 60.00

dd 13 a trampoline, and ipod.
ds 18 - not decided yet but today when he came home from school he said he needed a DJ - so quick trip to M&S and it cost well over £200 by the time we'd got the shirt and shoes too!

ds1, 7, geomag, books
ds2 5, Electronic drum set, cheap from argos

Dont do main pressies unless there is something special they want/need

Dd 2 is getting a playmobil Noahs ark £40 as her main pressent but I hate to think how much I spend on her in total. I did one big shop in Toys R Us to get all her presents last week but keep finding more and more little things.

DS1 4 Don't know yet
DD 2 Scooter
DS2 Aquadraw

both dd's are having a vtech smile to share as their main present.

their ages are 4 and 3 yrs old

DD (3.5yo) is getting a big Silver Cross pram as her main Christmas presnet this year.

DS1 - 12 is getting a bike DS2 - 7 is getting a Robosapien.
They are both getting portable dvd players as well but they were free so don't count when adding up the cost!

It does get a lot more expensive as they grow up

DS is 4 and he is having a Buzz Lightyear and the Playmobil plane. DD is 17 months and she is having a baby Chou Chou and the Graco buggy set with car seat etc. Bear in mind having an older child we already have ride ons and plenty of cuddlies

hiya bibi - my baba had got a aquadraw deluxe and my SD (who is dd's half sis and she is 6) she got a craft table thing to do her crafts and drawings on it..

dd(3) is getting a Baby Born £30-ish and a pink fleecey hotwater bottle £15. What she asked for!

ds1 - playmobil pirate ship (reduced from £60 to £30)

ds2 - playmobil aeroplane (reduced from £30 to £20)

dd1(3yo) and dd2(1 yo) are getting a clam like sandpit/swimming pool together and then dd1 - fairy trike and dd2 a flip out sofa as she keeps trying to sit on dd1s which leads to all sorts of issues.

Well Lottie's main present is actually not from us, LOL. Her beautiful Auntie wanted to buy her a rocking horse, my MIL is getting her a train set and my mum, well lets not go there, she goes mad , so our main presents to Lots are a new Leappad book system thing, the cinderella pumpkin coach and horse etc and a aquadraw and then tons of smaller things.

She also has a birthday on the 17th so finding a home for everything in the new year is fun!
