Hi, I usually buy his gift with his own money for christmas 😅 but I've been thinking what if I try to make it more special and make something at home for him? Any ideas will help thanks.

Do your family get presents for your SKs at Christmas? Ie. Your parents / siblings / grandparents etc. This is our first year with a baby so obviously my family have bought lots for baby, and have gotten SD little gifts but I feel like my partner is abit annoyed that they've spent more money on baby. I see it as ...

Do I have a say where it gets spent? Supposedly his money is our money? I would like a nice piece of jewellery he said he would buy for me when we have money as a token of appreciation of everything I’ve been through with pregnancy and birth. But then again it’s his bonus and I know he will want to spend it on other...

What’ve you bought/gifted your little one for Christmas? Minimalistic or? 🎅🏻 I’ve been careful not to go overboard with baby, but one day I’m sure there’ll be a day when ‘mum can I have this for Christmas?’ x10 🤣

Am I the only one who will never do this? I can’t afford to get some family members or friends gifts but also no one ever bought me a gift for doing the job I’m paid to do 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a 20 month old and a 4 month old. For Christmas we are going to my inlaws who live 3 hours away. There are at least 6 people who have bought my children presents to open on Xmas day and I genuinely think that they don’t need anything else! I feel like at their ages it’s a little pointless to take bags of pre...

Do you have a cut off age where you stop buying presents for nieces, nephews etc… like 18 or 21 or do you continue to buy into adulthood?

So far I have a hot cocoa bomb, a tiny bottle of prosecco, candle and holiday socks. Thinking of a gift card too

My partner still hasn't got me anything and keeps asking me for ideas. I honestly can't think of anything I want...

So I’ve sold a snowsuit on Vinted and realised I didn’t change it to a medium parcel and instead it’s a small parcel 😩 I’m now worried they aren’t going to post it or they are to charge the lady who bought it. Is there anything I can do when I take it to the shop to when posting it? It must have came up as…

Has anyone got any good ideas for their husband/partner as a Christmas present? I’ve got a couple of bits but really needs some thing else I’m struggling.

I bought a bunch of hand made chocolate bombs and mugs for teachers. Today was one of the directors birthday and we got her Harry Potter socks and hair satin scrunchies (she loves Harry Potter) and a card. I mentioned to my husband that I was going to get her flowers as well and he flips out saying I’m over doing it...

Not overly close with my MIL and I’m due to get married next year. Any ideas what I could gift to her for our wedding day? X

I have to get 2 white elephant gifts $30 is the limit but I can’t afford $30 gifts especially 2. Any ideas of what I can get? That’s maybe cheaper but looks $30 lol

FTM here, what is everyone getting their newborn for Christmas if anything. The family asked for a wishlist and I just put toys he could use in a few months to a year. My his band and I were just gonna donate to his college fund. It’s boring but more useful.

Regardless of how it ended between you and how much of a father he is do you still get him a gift from the kids?

Hi, could I get some ideas of what t get my boy's key worker and other nursery staff for Christmas? Left it to the last minute. He's only Been there since September so dont want to spend a bomb considering he's off every other week with a bug but they've been great when he's been there. Most of his staff are still u...

I asked my husband what he wanted for Christmas… his response was “for you to lose 50pounds so I can have my wife back” He was only half kidding 😔

We’re not friends, we just know each other from the daycare, lol.

Thinking about getting my 1 year old a tonie box for Christmas, do anyones little ones love them or are they a waste of money?
