  1. That is one of the things I really miss about Christmas now that my kids are older. There are very few, if any, toys on the Christmas lists. Mostly clothing and technology and sporting equipment. The days of going to the toy store and imagining their delight on Christmas morning just don't last long enough! :) Enjoy your fun!!

  3. Don't tell LB but we have bought Teksta (the dog) for her for Xmas and she has got her eye on the Doh Vinci kits. I can't believe it's only 3 months until Xmas. We still have Curly's birthday to go and then we can start thinking about Xmas properly. Happy shopping :)

  5. I like to get my Christmas presents sorted early and I like to be finished with the shopping by the end of November...Don't be overly impressed though it's mainly because I shop online and I like to know that the items will get here on time. We bought the children's main presents back in July when we saw what they wanted on special!

    I think my favourites out of your selections has to be the Xeno soft toy and the Vanity Design Kit, although I don't think that young girls should be worrying about there looks I like the fact they can tittivate the vanity how they like mking it a fun item to own...And not overly priced either!
