Our lads started saying "irie man" but he'll be getting a balance bike not a rastamouse toy

Eldest asked for some of those monster high dolls I had to google. She came home with 2 on Monday that her gran bought her so a little wiser now.

just googled doggy doo, that's pretty ****ed up!

Either that or it's a brilliant ploy by some trail user to get kids into the mindset of scooping up dog shit, by nexty generation we should have poo free trails.

Playmobil for the boy. Dolls house for the girl.

Both are getting bike upgrades, but I successfully argued with the missus that bikes are a necessity rather than a present. This was made easier by hers needing a load of work that couldn’t wait until the festive season.

Here's what my lad has asked for so far. (And this is completely true)

GTA V
A set of lock picking tools
A bump key and hammer
Dead Island (Zombie killing game)
Snow Boarding Lessons
An earring (which is no doubt likely to escalate into a doughnut thingie)

bbc haven't got a clue.

Only 60 days to go, yeah! List seems a bit unremarkable. I want another wooden tankard from provenance coopering. the doggie doo game looks fun but can't see it keeping interest, and the doo itself llooks to be playdoh stuff which I reckon would go hard and get dusty and hairy pretty quick, like the real thing eh. Best get them a puppy and play for real.

Samuri, what's a bump key? I saw lock picking tools on Dealextreme the other day...

It's a type of lock pick.

I always wanted a set of picks. Good lad.

Obviously this is the Indoor Toy List for Nerdy Kids.
I wonder what the Top 10 Outdoor Toys for Active Kids are?

Same old thing every year, more plastic tat to shift.

These lists are compiled by retailers and wholesalers, so I'm guessing they have alot of those ten items to shift. As always they will be way off the mark and you will be able to buy the doggy doo game for tuppence after Xmas.

Micro scooters and tablets will be in demand the most.

You can buy lockpicks, bump keys and hammers from Amazon. You can even buy testing locks.

Bump keys are a bit cooler I think. Basically you find the right key template, insert it into the lock, apply very gentle pressure to turn it and then tap it. A huge amount of yale type locks can be picked in this way. There's loads of videos on youtube.

Very cheap too.

Is it wrong that I really want one of these?

JD Bug Cool Carver Scooter

Had a play in Halfords (despite being waaay to heavy for it) and it was ace fun.
Probably crap outside, but a hoot for zipping around a tiled floor while dodging pissed off looking staff members
