Christmas 🎄

Keeping it minimal this year, as we did last year. 3 or 4 presents maybe? Purchased from vinted or charity shop probably. I don't think it will mean much to him yet and don't want overwhelm (him or me tbh!). I'd like focus to be on atmosphere and midwinter cosiness more than presents.

It’s really hard to control yourself when it comes to them, speaking from experience! We have to also remember they would have had a birthday the month before so breaking the bank doesn’t do anyone good. We’re probably going to do about 5 max as she will get spoilt by other family members.

I think it's best to just get them what their true needs are 🙂 for example clothes, winter clothings etc x

I tend to see what other people have bought her and then pop money into her account rather. She's too small to know and the most joy she's gotten from a present was the £10 slide we bought off marketplace

I’m getting mine around 5 presents. He had lots last year and was very overwhelmed. These are going to be educational toys like role play as I’ve realised he actually doesn’t have any of it 🙈 also on a budget this year as have new baby coming late December/January so looking to spend no more than £80-£100 for Christmas for my boy x

I get my kids like 1-2 things each 🙈 they don’t appreciate large amount of toys

Not much because I’m absolutely skint especially with November being their birthday 😖😖

We're probably only going to do 1 or 2 gifts. I'm moderately good at being minimal with her toys and she actually plays really well with what we have so I want to keep that going. I also try to buy from vinted or the local charity shops. She's also got 5 grandparents so will most likely be spoiled by them 😅
