My lists (in pictures)

[purplespecs]

Hey, its my first time posting here in the grotto, just wanted your opinions on my lists. I have 2 boys (Daniel will be 22m and Ben 4m at Christmas)...

Joint presents to them both (Ben won't be able to play with these for a long time yet, but he will in the future )

Daniel already has the fruit and veg sets but I will be setting up the kitchen with them in, and adding the meat, dairy and grocery sets to it. I'm also going to sew an apron, tea towel and oven glove set for the kitchen.

Daniel's list

I'm also going to make Daniel a coloured peg matching game, a hook-a-fish game and a family photo pairs game.

For Ben I will be making some textured fabric soft blocks and a taggie.


It's the first Christmas Daniel will be aware of and I'm just wondering if I've gone a bit overboard or not! What do you think?

Amazing lists xx

 

[hopeandpray]

Lovely gifts! There all ones that can be used for years. It's nice to be able to see them all instead of just a list

 

[Leliana]

Love your gifts! The homemade ones look wonderful too, you are really talented

My DD got that squeaky lamb toy for her first Christmas and loved it

 

[purplespecs]

Hopeandpray - that's why I chose to do pictures I see other people's list and don't know what half the things are until I google them, then I'm like, 'ahhhh I see'. I'm much of a visual person so I keep a photo journal rather than a written one
