I'm not thinking about it yet. We don't know if we have to move yet....
But it looks like we will be doing majority combined prezzies if that happens.

We're getting the kids a joint present of a trampoline from the Target Toy Sale Lay-by is half paid off.

Other than that, I think we'll get Emma a zoo membership (Alastair still gets free entry so he doesn't need one) since ours have all lapsed. And maybe some clothes for both, depending on how their summer wardrobes are looking. Trying to think of things that won't create more chaos in my house/be rampantly consumerist. Evelyn can get nappies/cute WAHM stuff.

I have NO IDEA

We normally get them one big present to share and then just a few little things because I am over the crappy toys that I just throw in the bin a day later

BUT we are running out of big things to buy

They have
3 swing sets
a trampoline
a fort
a cubby house

they all have bikes

one year we got them a TV and DVD.....but they don't need another one

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah tricky. I have 2 this year lol

Mila:

Eamon:

7 month olds are hard to buy for especially as we have so many toys here from Mila

Well by then our entire range of fruit trees, strawberries, veges and fruits and herbs will be in, and the garden around the cubby will be complete The kids love stalking the fruit trees (currently the mulberry) and climbing them to see what fruit they can score.

Eventually we'll get a replacement hammock-swing for underneath the big ole tree.

Nan and Pop are ordering in a load of white sand for the sandpit (under said tree).

Sounds good to me!
Prob a few smaller/much desired items for them individually and our usual baking etc. Tending to go quality not quantity and pref handmade nat materials, non-commercialised etc so that makes it easier Also trying for 'doing/experiences' rather than 'things'. We will have their stockings out as well - including things like choc etc but also seeds, crafty etc - Brenna's stocking is the hardest one to fill so it's mostly things for her garden.

By Christmas we may have even finished more of the reno stuff, so we might have a 'mantlepiece/fireplace' from which to hang the stockings

Pretty cool to think we'll have 7 stockings up this year
and this little Boy will be nearly ready to be born.
That's more than enough for me
