KIDS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS




Somehow, this year, I have managed to get all of my Christmas shopping for the kids done before December. Even stranger, perhaps, is that some of the items were bought in January. Yes, a few things on sale. And a few things I spotted and have managed to hold onto all this time. Such as the fairy wings, above. Even better is that my three-year-old daughter has recently been asking for fairy wings.

When my children were younger, if I'm honest, the presents didn't seem to matter so much. They were just happy to open something that had been wrapped in paper. But the six-year-old has a much stronger sense of what he does and doesn't like, and the three-year-old is fast learning from him.

So here is a sample of what they are getting this year. If you have yet to finish your shopping, for your children or others, I hope it gives you some ideas.

  2. You don't have to convince me ;-)

    The microscope was actually a birthday present that we held back on. At the time he was getting so many and it felt like it would be better appreciated another time. Hence being so organised come Christmas time. Something similar happened with the fairy wings. x
