I am getting DD8 & DD6 a new bike each, my parents bought DD1 her current bike when she was 14months old and it took years for her to be big enough to use it so it is in shocking condition, this year is the year of the upgrade

Loving my little princess.....
I got my DD to write Santa a list. So she did. And she emailed it to me with a $ sign beside the things she REALLY wants!!

So I am going to get her a $15 skateboard, a dvd, a book, I have her a justin beiber perfume and I am not sure what else.

DD wrote a list..here is some of it :

Littlest pet shop stuff

Fur real butterscotch

Moshi Monsters DS game

Books

A jewellery box

A dress

Shoes

Ear rings NOT studs rolleyes.gif

Moshi Monsters membership

The new Tinkerbell DVD

AND as her main present she wants an ipod touch, ipad, iphone and a Wii U ohmy.gif

Obviously she isn't getting all that, but it gives an idea of what she wants.

Oh and she wants $$ so we can go shopping together for a girlie day out before school starts.

That was the year we got DD1 an iPod.

If yours already has one, then a $50 itunes voucher could be the main present & she could go crazy with music & games.

She hadn't been into toys for a few years prior.

My DD is seven and a half and on the younger side when it comes to interests I think. She is getting:
A dollhouse ( that's her number one request. I didn't get her one last year as I thought she'd outgrow it!)
A couple of mini la la loopsy sets
A my lps set
A boogy board
A few sets of clothes which she loves getting
New swimmers and rashies
She's also asked for some lego friends so I might get that
Might also get her a barbie DVD
She would desperately love an ipad or iPod but she'll have to wait. We all share one ipad and 2 iPhones without an issue at the moment.

I have got my DD 8 a Furby (I don't think she even knows what they are but figured she would love it as she is obsessed with animals and the like), some Littlest Pet Shops and small bits and pieces and a few clothes.

Unicorn, My kids have those scooters and they are brilliant and alot safer than traditional scooters as they have a hand break so can stop with minimal fuss. Plus you can ride them uphill easy enough. original.gif
