We've got Riley the
vtech 3 in 1 scooter
IMO I think you ladies have gone a little OTT! (or maybe I'm just mean?) I don't see the point in going over board, especially at this age as he hasn't got a clue, and when he needs new toys I buy them when ever, and there's his grandmas and great grandmas aunty's and uncles to buy him presents
Obviously I'll buy him a few bits more, but not too much more than the scooter
i agree hun.
ive got my son...
the ELC car garage and the 3 sets of cars to go in it.
the fisher price stacking cars set.
and a vtech mobile phone.
i know i am naughty but feel guilty for how much i have got my DD so i also got DS... a carrier bag of carbootsale toys, which i will disinfect and box up together and give to him the day after his party.
the bag includes... a playskool ball pop up thingy,
various cars,
and a shape sorter,
i have asked family to buy him clothes. BORING i know but when you have another child under 3
you tend to have 2 lots of toys to clear up.
if i buy him anymore it will only be money wasted. i have learnt the HARD WAY! to buy as much as you can at carbootsales and charity shops/in sales.
its almost my DD's 3rd birthday and i have got her... (knowing she will pay FULL attention to this birthday) so....
a basket of fruit and veg for her kitchen (she already has a kitchen)
a tea set,
timmy time car,
vtech cooking pot with talking veg (thinks he's called cooksy or something)
2 bags of play food,
fisher price little people castle,
fisher price little people house,
fisher price little people farm,
my little pony baby (sooooo... cute)
cuz i most of that on ebay/carbooty ^ it came to... £35.
so were going to buy her a slide as well as the above to round it off to £50.
we usually buy all NEW but NEVER AGAIN! not after LAST YEAR!
we spent waaaay over £100 on her and it wasn't played with till she turned 28 months easily.
what a waste of money!!!
call me a cheap skate but... from now on, i am going to enjoy spending the bare minimum on our kids before they demand ipods and laptops because tom, dick and harry have one!!! LOL
