How do you split presents with birthdays so close to Christmas? I’ve just done a count and we have 50 ish gifts in total. Do you guys do an even split? Do you give more for Christmas or more for birthday? Do you stagger them through the year?

How much are people spending on Christmas presents per child? I’ve spent about £250-£300 on my daughter all in (Christmas presents, 1st Dec box, stocking etc.) Google AI says the average UK family spends £420 on Christmas gifts per child which seems like a lot to me l!

How much have people spent/are spending on their kids for Christmas? I said to myself I wouldn’t go as mad as I did last year, but I definitely have 😅 I’ve probably spent £250-£300 all in on my daughter for Christmas presents, stocking, 1st December box etc. For background she’s an only child and I’m a single…

Debating buying the toniebox for Christmas for my little boy, just wondering if anyone has it and is it worth it? He loves music and books

Alright mamas, what are we putting on our Christmas list?!😅

I’m looking at getting a Tonie box for Christmas for my little girl. What’s everyone’s thoughts on them? I’ve seen they are on sale at the moment.

My parents gift my child during the holidays. My in law never gift my kids…but she will send me her Amazon wish list. We got her a Dyson hair dryer last year. And don’t get it twisted, she can afford a $10 gift for the kids (only 2 kids). But isn’t big on gifting ANYONE.

Gift ideas

I forgot what I loved as a newborn mum 🤣 Fridanose picker was probably my most useful item I remember 🤣! What should I send her ?!?! Xx

What’s everyone getting their 2 yr old for Christmas? I’m really struggling this year!

I really want a name or birthday necklace/bracelet to honor my daughter for Christmas. I just can’t decide what style I want. I might be interested in anklets too. Share the stores they’re from as well, preferably for real gold that won’t deteriorate easily. Thanks for the inspo🤍

My husbands aunts and his gran keep asking us what they can get our son for Christmas. We're really grateful that they want to get something for him, but it really isn't needed. I already have Christmas sorted and have bought his toys and books. They don't want to give him any vouchers or money, they want to buy so...

Do you overshare??? Has there been anytime you share something and you wish you can take it back? Is oversharing a temporal fix or long-term solution to whatever makes us share??? Thanks for your contribution!

Not baby related: My 30th was last month and I’m still so resentful about it. I literally got NOTHING on the day. No cards, no presents, no cake, no nothing. I’m not one for cards or presents. I’m an adult, I can get my own things 🤣 but it’s the lack of effort that has upset and annoyed me and I don’t think…

What do you gift your husbands for Christmas? My husband is hard to shop for and now that I’m not working I don’t really have much money. I don’t want him to have nothing to open Christmas morning.

I think we’ve forgotten what Christmas was all about and it has turned into a hyper materialistic holiday fueled by all retailers. The whole point was to give to those in need, spend time with family and be there for each other and creating new memories we would cherish all of our lives. It’s not to go in debt to ma...

If anyone is interested in a free Moses basket with a stand please message me! My daughter has outgrown it and would like to give it away to someone who needs it!

What’s everyone putting in there little one’s Christmas Eve boxes or Christmas gift sack?

My MIL bought it for my son. She wanted to keep the tradition as my husbands late and beloved grandmother used to buy it for my husband, even when he was in his early 30s 😅 sadly she passed away two years ago. She wanted to make my husband and her son happy. I just don't feel a mini Kinder chocolate is a good thing…

Hi ladies Has anyone’s little ones turned one yet or have you already bought birthday and Christmas presents for them? Does anyone have any recommendations for presents that 1 year olds enjoy or that we will find useful as mummies? Thanks x
