So I've been inspired by this group to buy myself and Mr Lolz a Christmas Eve box 😆 Now just have to figure out what to put into it. Thinking PJ's and some snacks
He needs an Elf on the shelf.

Think snacks and PJs is enough personally if he will also be getting things the following day.

Love this thread.

Bought my daughters first Christmas present this week. She’s a January baby too so I try and spread out the cost.
Has anyone started buying presents yet? I usually start for my Daughter in August as her bday is also a month after Christmas (January baby) and it feels heeeeeavyyyyy on the old bank account. BUT I’m taking her to Disneyland Paris in March and that’s her joint Xmas and bday present. Her playroom is full of toys and I refuse to buy more junk 😂😂

She's 4 in January and she is sooo excited for Santa!! I love this age. We do alot of Christmas things and I just love the magic of it all.

What I hate:

The pressure I feel for it to be a good day.

I go to my Dad and Step Mums for Xmas dinner and whilst I love it, I really don't want Christmas dinner this year😂 it's a glorified Sunday lunch so I think I'll take some ham with me instead 😂

Has anyone taken their child(ren) to Lapland UK? Was it as good as everyone says? What age group do you think it’s most suited for?
I was going to book for my 3 y o who will be 4 in January but I've held off till next year. I realised it's a longish journey, we'd have to stay over and god forbid shes in one of them moods where she won't stop and enjoy some of it, it's a lot of money. I'm going to do it next year as it's a lot of money if she doesn't fully get a lot out of it x

you might've already done this but can you make up a bundle of stuff to take with? carry on case/backpack, water bottle, ears headband, pyjamas, outfit to wear there etc. home bargains have some minnie stuff in now (notebooks etc) with initials on too

I went there last year and was very disappointed. Just a load of over priced tat.

In fact I was every disappointed in Harrods generally. It had seemed to have had some sort of make over since I had last visted and it was just like being in any other department store. The food hall was so dark you couldn't see things properly. I won't be going back.

I used to prefer the Christmas Shop in Selfridges.

Fortnums is my favourite Christmas Shop of the London lot - although strikes last year meant I couldn't get there until nearly xmas so most was gone :(

I’m taking my little boy to Disneyland for his 4th birthday to in December and I’ve got him holiday based presents, got him a Disney backpack and matching suitcase, personalised autograph book, ears, personalised clothes and then a few of his favourite Disney toys then just little bits for the plane like colouring books, blanket, little personalised snack box and stuff so much better getting bits like that when the holiday costs a fortune ! 🤣🙈
