So as a SAHM I have a very limited income. I have some money that I make on my own which goes towards my bills and my husband gives me some money for the home. My question is how do I gift him something for his birthday if I’m technically using his money to buy his presents?

Will anyone be getting their newborn Christmas presents this year? And if so what? My baby will be around 2 weeks old during the Christmas period, as it’s her first Christmas I still want to make it special I just don’t really know what to get her.

What are you all buying your babies for their birthday & Christmas presents??

Getting my girl a Tonie box for Xmas and wondering what characters people recommend? She loves learning numbers, letters, shapes etc , she loves music and story wise she likes anything silly and funny.

My partner went out clubbing last Saturday with his friends, he came home and had some bits of glitter in his hair and on his face. When I asked him about it he said it was a Halloween night and glitter gets everywhere so I kind of brushed it off. That night he was in a different city and had an air b&b booked with...

Just curious to how much you spend on your little ones for birthday and Christmas? Do you have a set budget in mind or do you just buy until there is enough there… I tend to set a budget for birthday and Christmas but I never know if it’s too much…

I’m looking for inspiration on what others are getting their little ones for Christmas? I’ve got a few ideas but it’s in case there’s something I’ve maybe not thought of! Obviously birthday is right after Christmas so hard to think of stuff!

My MIL and SIL are notorious for buying big in both sizes of things and amount (if not big items will buy lots of things) for birthdays, Christmas or whenever SIL comes to visit (she lives abroad in their home country) and despite our requests to not MIL brings something almost every time she comes over. We currentl...

My niece is turning 1 and I really want to gift her something special and don’t mind indulging a little. Any ideas? TIA

Your MIL sends you a photo of $60 boots and writes under it “dear Santa I’ve been a good girl” basically hinting you to get these boots for her for Christmas. Little back story: me and my partner have been together for 6years, we recently had a baby (8months ago). I stopped working last December when I was pregnan...

What’s everyone getting their little ones for their first birthday? Need some inspo 😭

I wanted something that my LO could take out each year in December, a bit of an heirloom piece. I've hand stitched this quilt for him. Hopefully he'll love taking it out each year.

I'm really stuck on ideas to get my other half for Xmas from his baby girl. He has a son from a past relationship but it's his first time being a dad to a baby and it's her first Christmas too. For Father's Day I sorted a photo of him and her that is time stamped for her birth time etc and in his card was her footpr...

So, I’ve bought my daughter a pram for her main present for Christmas and then the MIL turns up with a pram🙃 Does this sound okay or too confrontational?
