Family asking what to get LO for Christmas- advice please!
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 something for us - but I feel so awkward suggesting something, I don't know what their budget is. My MIL suggested someone buy LO new shoes but they can be pricey, I'd rather choose them myself in the shop or get a look on vinted for a bargain. Idk, what do I say? Is there any toys you guys would recommend?

I would give them an idea, if you don’t say they will still buy something anyway and it won’t be something you are going to use. Could you suggest a couple of broad options that cover a few price ranges such as some books by a certain author or food role play toys or push along cars etc
I always send a few things in varying prices some £10 and some up to £100 then they can choose what they would like to get! My grandparents bought us an annual pass for Warwick Castle which is something we can use all year. - Balance Bike - Toy Kitchen or accessories - threading beats - magnetic letters - clothes

Honestly I’d just be adamant for vouchers and money so you can use it when he needs things and for days out. Just say whatever they buy him will just be useless because he doesn’t need anything
