I keep going back and forwards on the idea of getting my two a toniebox as a joint present for Christmas (4 years and 18 months) on the one hand they both love us reading them books and looking through books on their own though obviously they can’t read them. But they are expensive, especially once you start buying ...

Looking for suggestions for gifts for my by LO! Since bday and Christmas are so close together, it gets a bit tricky. I have family that wants to buy gifts and would prefer to guide them vs. getting a bunch of stuff she’ll never use or doesn’t need. I prefer stuff that’s easy to store away. For more expensive i...

Did your partner get you a push present? Do you want one? What is it? Or do you think they're just silly?

What does everyone want for Christmas this year ?

Anyone discover any really good Black Friday deals that we shouldn’t miss? 😅

If anyone is struggling with the cost of Christmas presents or cost of a busy board I definitely recommend doing a homemade one! I managed to buy all the parts for £40 and it’s fairly easy to make. Although I’m definitely hoping it will keep my little one entertained for more than 2minutes 😅

Why do people insist on giving their two cents for things that don’t concern them? I made a post on Facebook asking if anybody knows basically where I can get a free ham or something for the holidays so either to say something that has nothing to do with him. I’ll put a few others in the comment

So my 6 year old's dad isn't really involved - he sends child maintenance but hasn't come to see him since June 2023 (no facetimes/phone calls either - just the occasional message or video). I still send presents from my son for birthday/Father's Day/Christmas as I think it's good for my son and a way for him to sti...

Hey! With it being Black Friday, the Owlet Dream Sock is down £100 (£299 to £199). Just wondering if anyone has used it in the past and thinks it's a worthwhile investment?

We are doing one big gift so looking for cheaper, smaller stocking stuffers

Recently had a family member pass away leaving 2 young children behind. I have a lovely guardian angel bracelet for the little girl, but I'm struggling to think of what I can gift the boy. He's 13. We are a close family and would love to give them a small minding but struggling to see something fit for a boy. For r...

What are you getting your husband for Christmas? I need some ideas..

We’ve got teddy, books, pjs, cup but the box is still half empty

I got an invitation today for a birthday party for a friend. On the invitation is a list of gift ideas and notation asking us to text her boyfriend with what gift we are getting to avoid overlap. Am I tripping or is that crazy and tacky? Mind you, the following: -the invitation came today (26 Nov) and the party is...

I mean I am finished Christmas shopping for little one all wrapped and everything 😂 but seeing the prices of the tonies box in the Black Friday sale has me contemplating it! Is it worth it? Does anyone have one already & what’s your little one like with it? Also does it need to be plugged in to mains to work? As…
