This is baby’s first Christmas so we want to make it special. However it seems a little silly to spend money on wrapping paper for her gifts if we’re just going to open them up for her. She’s too young to do it herself. I’ve bought her a Christmas stocking instead but wondering now if she’ll like having the wrapping...

Okay, I’ve seen a few posts now regarding Christmas gifts for nursery staff and now I feel so blooming bad because I didn’t even think we had to do this? My little boys nursery teachers have been fantastic with him settling in etc. but i literally cannot afford to get them anything I can’t even afford to get my fami...

I have a 2.5 yo (suspected ASD) and I'm wanting to get her a gift from her baby sister to try and form a positive connection from the get go. But I don't know what to get her 🫣 she's so loving and cuddly but lashes out so I'm hoping that baby doing something nice for her when they meet gets them off on the right…

I really only ask for gift cards for christmas, as well as gift cards FOR MY CHILD. I get asked why, and get a lot of backlash when i don't explain, but personally, i feel my kid doesn't need ALL them toys at ONE time. especially since his birthday is 4 months after christmas. He doesn't play with a lot of them no...

What’s everyone got their little ones for their first Christmas? We’ve gone for a jumperoo and a rocking elephant

I've been trying to find an experience like an art class that we can do together but I'm struggling ( we've previously done life drawin(. We are based in Leeds. Has anyone got any suggestions? Boozy, baking, cooking, creative ... are all good. My friend is into reading, poetry, astronomy, tarot cards too.

What is everyone getting their LO?

Okay. What all do the various Cricuts do? I'm thinking about getting one and I'm just looking for feedback from people who already have one. Your likes and dislikes, and even projects that you've been able to do. I'd also love any tutorials that you've come across that were helpful to you. I want to get it to make s...

We want to get a Tonies box for our soon to be 9month old for Christmas but not sure if she’ll enjoy it, what is your guys experience with it?

My baby is turning 1 soon, and we’re planning a party where he’ll receive lots of gifts. But deep down, I can’t help but hope for a simple ‘thank you’ or ‘you’ve worked so hard’ from my husband and family.

Just looking for some ideas of cheap little silly things to bulk out my LO Christmas sack a bit. I've now got most of his Christmas bits sorted but thinking things like cheap packs of stickers and stuff because I think a lot of the joy of Christmas will be in opening the presents so I'd like to add some extra little...

Any ideas what else I could make up for my LG? Got some more cardboard that I can use 😊 I have her routine and I have a changeable “calendar” for her to do every day in her room, but need some new ideas 🤔

Has anyone bought, or is planning to buy, their partner/baby daddy a Christmas present from the bump? I really want to but as I’ve already done his birthday and Fathers Day from bump, I’m out of ideas 😅 I’ve done the key ring, photo frame, baby onesie, bracelet and poem. Anyone got any original ideas I can…

For those of you that had their 2022 baby a few days before Christmas, are you giving more presents for birthday or Christmas? Or splitting down the middle? My LG is 21st so 4 days before. We’ve got all her presents bar a few little things for her stocking. I was going to decide today what we were giving for what ...

The seller posted an electronic toy without padding, just in a bag. When I opened it it’s not working. She swears by that when she sent it l, it was working. I told her and she wants me to send it back. But I have to pay for postage! Plus have to prepare the packaging and take it to the shop to post. I told her ...

Giving my daughters old toys away, would love them to go to a family/ families that are struggling for Christmas. Please private message me if you’re interested. Ideally collection only but if you’re not too far I can possibly arrange a delivery. (Pink scuttle bug also included)

Any ideas

Does anyone give their nursery Christmas cards or presents or both and if so what's something nice to gift them?
