No idea! Sorry.... need to pop this baby before i even CONSIDER xmas! Saying that though, Jess will only be 16 months so i guess it wont matter what i get her!

I don't know how old your kids are Socci but Letterbox always has a few goodies in it

expatinscotland · 25/09/2005 16:32

It's not early! We're buying DD (age 2.3) a gift every payday so we won't get hammered with it all at once.

So far, we've got her the Little People Royal Village and a toy Dyson. Next we'll get her a tunnel and a toy kitchen from ELC.

expat if your geting her a kitchen this ones on special offer in toysrus

kitchen

expatinscotland · 25/09/2005 16:47

Cool! Thanks, katz! Had a max of £20/month but last month's pressie we found on offer in Costco for £13, so I put the extra £££ aside.

This will make a terrific pressie for this month!

chatee · 25/09/2005 16:48

teeavee · 25/09/2005 16:49

hwere do you stock it all, expat?

expatinscotland · 25/09/2005 16:49

In the tiny hall cupboard. See, that's why I don't keep unwanted gifts .

expatinscotland · 25/09/2005 16:50

I had to hang onto DD's old baby stuff - like her buggy, baby car seat, etc. so we could use it for this baby (due December) but after the baby uses it, it will go the way of the charity bin and the hall cupboard will have even more space! Woohoo!

bigdonna · 25/09/2005 16:53

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 25/09/2005 16:56

Fairydust - is that a wanted list or a GOT list?!

spidermama · 25/09/2005 16:57

I'm in denial about christmas still. DH needs to get some money together before I can pluck my head back out of the sand.

Luckily dd(7) says she wants a stapler. If it carries on like this, it'll be a breeze.

fairydust · 25/09/2005 16:58

jessicaandbumpsmummy - it'll be a Got list come the end of this month - have got most things

katzguk · 25/09/2005 16:58
