Christmas presents for hatchlings
Do you have any ideas yet?
So far they're sorted for Advent calendars - Cube has a lego Star Wars one, Betty a Harry Potter charm one and Elf is getting a Pokemon figures one.
Not a clue what to get the boys for Christmas and they've given me hardly any ideas. Cube keeps thinking it's funny to give me a list of things that are totally unachievable and I'm going to fall out with I'm soon.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
It’s November and perfectly ok to use the word Christmas.
They have a Lego Marvel advent calendar to share. Elvis asked for Heeleys and I found some boxed ones on EBay. Sproglette asked for ‘a nice soap set’ and upon questioning I established she was really after her own wash bag so I got a Soap and Glory set.
They have a book each and Cluedo to share. I’m hoping to make them a bag each. I haven’t sorted stockings yet though.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
C has given me her usual headache-inducing list of bizarre inventions that don’t exist in the real world, so I’ve got to try and talk her down from that .
My only ideas are replacement things that have been outgrown or worn out like a new sports watch or roller skates. Similarly G could do with new headphones.
They are both so difficult to get things for!

This made me smile, Squirrel - Bambs was a bugger for this. I wish I could say it gets easier, but now she just sends me lists of links to vintage items that sold on Etsy years ago or which she's found on an obscure US site where the import costs equal the GDP of a small country.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
This made me smile too. It's better than 'a Lamborghini' which is what Cube is asking me for.
Betty wants a load of goth clothes - mini skirts, New rocks, long military style coats and corset belts. She also wants a ton of Hufflepuff stuff and the Harry Potter dolls.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
There was a week in September where I accidentally watched a Christmas film, and then deliberately watched a few more, and decided I was quite looking forward to it all, but it passed.

CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS! #rebel
We’re supposed to be buying a new games console as the Xbox is giving up a bit but they are hard to come by at the moment.
I’ve got a few stocking fillers and the boys have some more modest ideas to pass on to relatives. There’s no Lego on the lists for the first time ever!

Mr G had a chat tonight, so it's still quite fresh - PES for the switch, which doesn't exist, so has made us think about a tablet. Possibly football/ goalie posters (no idea where posters have come from), a goalie /football onesie. We might also take him to a 'good' football match, which we'd turn into an overnight/ city break.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
Christmas! S was singing “have a holly, jolly Christmas” to herself yesterday
At this stage I have no idea what we are getting our two. They both have November birthdays first. Contemplating a basketball hoop for the back garden though.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
I've made lists because G has an Oct birthday and Liv's is Dec. They're both quite easy to buy for really. Liv is doll house obsessed at the moment and I've got her a teeny tiny kitchenaid for her stocking!

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
I checked my app and they also have a TBS nail set each and a breakfast set (a bowl and mug that when piled up is either a gonk or a father christmas) they admired in a catalogue.

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
I suggested that but he wants a proper one to just sit there for 4.5 years until he can drive.
I’m contemplating getting him a driving experience

Re: C******** presents for hatchlings
I’ve looked into these driving experiences for G Kleio, I’m definitely going to get him one when he’s older!
