What to buy a child for xmas that doesnt want anything??

[mrsdil]

My ds was 5 in October and therefore has most things that he wants toy wise....with christmas coming up i have asked him to write a list of what he wants and given him the argos book for ideas....but he just ticks the things he has already got...he doesnt want anything!!! I keep saying "but you already have one of those" and he says that he will just have another!

Havent got a clue what to get him...any ideas??

Does he have any toys he can expand on at all - more of the set, etc?

lol

dd1s christmas list read;

a tamagotchi
a toothbrush
a flannel

she is 6

What sort of things does he like?? Prob a silly question, but my dd 5 has been very vague regarding xmas as she to has everything.
As she likes films and music, i have bought her the new madagascar special edition and also a couple of cd's which i hope to god she will listen to in her bedroom
Other than that i have bought her the 3 things she has asked for which is a karaoke machine, dance mat and the bang on the door blow up bed!!!!!!!!
I thought quite strange for a 5 year old but never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what about adopting an animal. i did this with dd with bornfree.org. will try and get you the link if interested. she gets a magazine and updates about the lions etc.

(You can't imagine my relief when I worked out that DS2 wasn't after a new bedroom but a new B-Damen.)

My God Twiglett, are they still selling them damn things
My little bro had them 10 years ago and now my dylan plays with them all the time as bro saved his!!!!!!!!!!
Poor dylan, he is attached to the pink one, refuses to be without it!!!!!!!

oh dear twiglett.teehee mine wants a sonic screwdriver. just spent 20 mins on phone with mymother trying to explain it.....

You can buy sonic screwdrivers in TOys R Us.

thanks yes. i saw them in bigW so have sent mother there.

as an aside .. I bought a couple of remote control sumo wrestlers from M&S .. they are fab and you get 2 in a box, when you press the remote control they make 'sumo-style japanese noises' .. was in stitches in the shop with friend

.. they're for DH though so not relevant

mine dont know what they want either, i think there is so much choice they cant fit it all in their heads. go to toysrus or woolies, buy some stuff you know he will like and surprise him. my 5 and 6 year olds are into thomas the tank, thunderbirds, action man, power rangers, drawing, remote control things, walkie talkies and anything which explodes, makes a mess, or a noise, or can be used to belt the other one with (which is pretty much anything).

Does his room need decorating? My parents did this for me one year and I loved it.
