We were going to get the tree this weekend (we get a real one) but my husband decided to get pneumonia instead 
. So we are having to wait until next weekend if he's hopefully feeling better.
We've never had our tree up that late before!

Hello! I’m stuck as to what I can get my 2 year old neice for Christmas this year. She literally has EVERYTHING, their house is cluttered with toys and she just uses her favourite ones so I ended up giving money for her bday a few months ago to pay for ballet classes. I got them a family gift for a day out last year and it hasn’t been used still so think it’s going to expire so would like to avoid that! Any ideas are welcomed 
thank you!

Some books for the parents to read to her at bedtime or clothes. I always found clothes useful at that age, especially the basics like socks, vests, pyjamas. Do they have a savings account for her? If so you could pay money into it, as at this age they don't need lots of toys.Hello! I’m stuck as to what I can get my 2 year old neice for Christmas this year.

Thanks, I think they do have a savings acc for her. I feel bad giving money again as I don’t want them to think that I don’t want to make the effort of getting a gift but she has so many toys, it would be wasteful to get more for the sake of it and at least money can go towards things she needs / wants / for her future then
She's also only two and won't remember your toy, if you did buy one. Add in this cost of living bull and she may just appreciate the cash is secure for later.

- to take her to feed the ducks
- to take her to see bluebells
- to take her to the library to choose a book
- to take her for coffee and cake
I went to a wreath making event this afternoon. First time I've done anything like it and I'm so pleased with how it has turned out. I'm going to get a pillar candle and have it as the centrepiece on our table 
I keep looking at it, I cant believe I made it, I don't have an artistic bone in my body

Its -2 here right now, so I might have caved and given the cat her Christmas present early
Oh it’s so cute.Its -2 here right now, so I might have caved and given the cat her Christmas present early
I’m on the fence about getting one for my dog. On the one hand, they look so squishy and comfortable. But on the other, if she figures out it’s a teddy, she’ll rip it to shreds in seconds.
…I don’t think I can risk it
May not be much help as these are toys, but here are a few wrap ups I’ve bought my daughter, she’s also 2.Hello! I’m stuck as to what I can get my 2 year old neice for Christmas this year.

It’s hard buying for kids, they literally have everything and more, yet you feel guilty not buying
Edit- the make up is just foam/silicone inside, so no mess

I get that - especially with how expensive they are! I got her the smallest one which was £30. I don't even want to know squishmallow's profit margins from these bedsOh it’s so cute.

My cat may have got his new cat tree early too
I love this froggy bed though! Where is it from?I have bought the range of dog beds, in terms of prices, and my bougie dog much prefers my bed. The side eye of doom when I show her one is shocking. Spoilt? Never
It's a Squishmallow pet bed! You can only get them at Amazon and Pets at Home at the moment I think- Pets still have them at 25% off if you were interested in oneMy cat may have got his new cat tree early too
I annoyingly had already removed the tag when I discovered Pets had the sale on - otherwise the bed would have been sent right back to Amazon and I would have gotten her the medium sized one for same price I'd paid Amazon for the small!
Ah yours is amazing! I did one in the week earlier. Was a bit wildI went to a wreath making event this afternoon. First time I've done anything like it and I'm so pleased with how it has turned out. I'm going to get a pillar candle and have it as the centrepiece on our table

Awh thank you! Squishmallows are so comfy as soft toys, so it must be a super comfy froggy for purry snoozes
Those wreath classes look so good, and your wreaths look amazing! I do not have a creative bone in my body though….. I have high expectations in my head but the execution is an absolute sh!tshow!!
My work put on loads of classes during the year for terrariums and origami etc, plus the wreaths at Xmas but I never get a slot (plus I’d show myself up with my poor artistic skills!)
