What are you getting for your 1 year old for Christmas/holiday?

I’m thinking of starting the tradition of doing a Christmas Eve box for our little boy. What would you suggest to put in it? I’ve got a few books and pj’s, but I’m unsure what else to put in it.

Me and my partner had different beliefs about Santa growing up. We both want to do what we had ourselves for our daughter but we’re struggling to find the right compromise. I want to make her childhood memories as magical as possible and I don’t seek gratitude from her for gifts but my partner wants her to have grat...

Are people buying their newborns presents for Christmas or not? If so what are you buying?

What’s everyone buying for 1st bday presents? I also don’t know how much to buy for bday and Christmas! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Please post your gift list for yourself.

I don’t want to seem like I’m being ungrateful but I’m getting really annoyed with relatives with regards to Xmas gifts. Every year I get asked by hubbys family for a list of things they can buy for his birthday at the beginning of December and also for Xmas. He’s so hard to buy for so this isn’t easy as I also have...

I want one so bad but they're so fucking expensive 😫 show me yours!

What do you do for your partners birthday when you don’t work? I’m a sahm and my partner does give me money for things but it’s mostly for food shopping or if the kids needs things, petrol or bills.(he will also give me money to treat myself e.g get my nails done) Sometimes I am able to save some money and put aside...

I personally will not. I’m not a fan of working really hard to give my children these gift for some imaginary guy to take credit for it. And I have personally experienced kids in school asking why Santa didn’t get them nice stuff or more gift but they friends got nice stuff/more gift.

Hi! I'm getting messages asking what to get our boy for Christmas but he doesn't really NEED anything. I don't want to be rude though, I wondered what people are suggesting? He doesn't need toys I'm trying to think of more practical things but can't seem to think 😂

Do you lease or purchase?? What are your reason???

After feedback for the tonies boxes! Unsure if to get one for LO this year for a Christmas present? She’ll be 2.5☺️

So I (28) live with my partner and 16mo daughter, my sister(23) still lives at home but works full time. Every year for Xmas she gets these massive extravagant gifts and I get generic stuff. Last year she got a full set of photography equipment (over £500) and I got a pair of hair straighteners… this year my mom tol...

Our budget this year is 300 each and he wants me to spend ALL of it on a 3D printer. That I know he’s not going to use enough to make up for the price because he won’t have time AND he’ll loose interest. He gets obsessed with these hobbies for like three months and then drops them. He literally was just spending al...

Can I ask how much people spend on Christmas presents for children aged 3. I've bought some presents already, doesn't look much, feel I need to buy more but don't want to be spending way over the top.
