A VTECH digital camera. He's always using the camera in my phone!

Ds2 got a Dr Who costume last year and it has hardly been off.

Scalectrix for his birthday which is much loved (by both him and his dad).

No idea this year.

HA, talk to me about scalectrix...does it take up a lot of room? is it easy to set up? To what extent does his younger sibling just trash it? etc. Cost? Model? x

thanks for reminding me of the camera thing, I think he'd like that.

what he really wants is a DS and I'm really not convinced...

DS (6 in Jan) or PSP not sure which yet. DD (10 in March) has a DS so that is what he says he wants but me and DH think he would be better with a PSP but do not know anybody who has one so he can trial it. Did the wii between the two of them last year..... a good investment for the whole family.

my boys 4 and 5, nrly 5 and 6 have ds's and love them! worth it if you buy the card and download the games rather than spending £40/game every couple of weeks!

Hi Tassiss it is nice to see you!

Ds is 6 and is getting lego - star wars/indiana type plus advent calendar with lego bits in.

Easier to set up than hot wheels but does need care. Can take up a huge amount of room but depends on track permutation. When set up ds3 isn't allowed in the room. Does store nicely in it's box - no lumpy bits . We got a deal on the internet last year and since his most expensive Christmas present was £9 he kind of got the rest of his Christmas allocation for his birthday - think it was £99 but has lasting appeal.
