Hi

I am going to put an idea to my hubby of getting our three girls a couple of bigger presents rather than lots of small ones, whether that be a joint present (ie train set for two older girls and say a cosy coupe/rocking horse of something for our 1 year old - these are just examples, might not even be these particular things), I am not sure as they will be getting a trampoline (from inlaws) which will go under our tree because of the size of it and putting it in our car on xmas day.

So I had thought about carrying on a tradition I did with my family which were santa sacks at the end of the bed.

Our girls ages are 5, 3 and 1. Any ideas of what I can put into them.

Thanks in advance
