…..because I’m stuck for ideas.
(Thinking about this now as we are going on holiday over the Christmas break and need to be v organised)

external usb dvd drives to go with notebook computers apparently.

I guess her age will be a deciding factor

How old is your daughter?

My eldest, she is 11, has not been making any noises about anything in particular.

My youngest, who is almost 3, will just be delighted with anything she receives I reckon 🙂

ah. Mine’s 18…

grandaughter, 5, likes all the Disney dressing up stuff, Littel Princess etc. Buy from M&S as opposed to disney store, better & cheaper 😆
Barbie is still a fav 🙄

Islabike if she likes bikes 😉

10 and 8. No particular requests yet but they are both suddenly and completely in to Lego, spending their pocket money on it so trying to avoid that as a surprise gift..

Now we are nearer the day, does anyone have any ideas?

We gained a few quite hours the other afternoon giving them the argos catalogue and letting them compile a xmas list-however you do end up with a lot of tat on it!!

My cousins always seemed to want Flower Fairies, Sylvanian Families and the My Little Pony Stable.

Things have moved on since then and my neighbour’s eleven year old is demanding GHD hair straighteners apparently!

my girl is 10 and wants a dsi xl , had a normal ds for years and its had a lot of use and never broken , so shes getting the newer version from amazon who seem to have all the colours as well . hope that helps

My daughter is 10 and wants,

dsi game
laptop
wii game
Toy horses
Clothes
Makeup.

check…check…check….various pressies between them for the last few years.
Ever get the feeling they have too much? 🙄

My cousin (girl) who is 13 wants a helicopter, bugati veyron, holiday to st tropez with her equally annoying friends, jimmy choo shoes, a range rover sport, metric tonne of condoms and a wrap of coke.

As you can see were having issues with her

nicolaisam at least she doesnt want a real horse !

That’s next. the toy horses are just a dry run!

ah. Mine’s 18…

Money.

My (18 year old) wants a Blackberry. Apparently she imagines that spending 400 quid on a phone, and another 50 per month on call charges, is a reasonable request 🙁

Same issue for me with eldest daughter (8), she has got a list together with just a couple of build a bear outfits and a Wii game, we have brought her a ticket to see flawless for both her and her best friend but we are struggling for her main present….

Total opposite with my boys as eldest(12) wants an Ipod touch and Xbox games and youngest (6) wants everything that he sees on the tv and every football kit in the shop looking at his lists..

I have put down a new razor on my list…it’s crap getting old!!

pregnancy testing kits

My daughter has so far expressed an interest in, PetShop, Puppies in my pocket, Build-a-Bear Bunny & clothes, Barbie, Space Hopper, Mr Potato head (from Toy Story), Zhu Zhu pets and a Nintendo DS.
Childrens TV adverts really getting a grip on her this year 🙄

My daughter (13) would like an Ipad. Her Mum said no but I ordered her one yesterday.
That’s going to be an interesting scene on the morning of the 25th

Mine’s 10 and asked for a proper present a new bike. I couldnt say no to such a reasonable request. Then she ruined it by also asking for a stuffed teddy bear as it was cute.
Her friend also 10 has asked for some type of kids car thing, i’m assuming its like those electric motorised bikes you can buy.

HTH

My daughter is 16 and is getting these cool little lenses for mobile phone cameras – I never ask what my kids want, I get them unusual stuff

Lego DS/DSi/Wii games are good.
Getting my 16 yr old SuperMario Galaxy 2 for the Wii, Nanny Ogg’s Cookbook and the last Tiffany Aching novel.
16 the week before so money spent on that.

My 5 year old is getting an iPod touch amongst other things. It’s necessary so the wife and I can have our bloody iPhones back!!

14 year old wants an ipod touch and her 16 year old sister is leaning towards a camera to help with her art at college. I might get my canon dslr back then.

An iTouch for a 5 year old? Mind you they don’t call me victorian dad for nothing.

My boy is getting a blinged out WTP Arcade 18″, I would have killed for a bike like that when I was little 😀

She has a pony already 😥 😥

ok..few others also going through this now. I am thinking we might just go down the route of getting a “hamper” of nice things. DS/Wii games, good books, orange and a lump of coal.

Like your style, iDave…

13yr old wants and ipod nano 4th gen??? and GHD straighteners (for the girl with straight hair???)

all sorted last night…internet shopping is brill!!!
