Well have been avoiding the christmas forum because i don't want to get too excited, but after goin into town today and seeing the the big xmas tree up i thought i'd make a start on wrapping, decided paige's would be best to start with, it didn't look alot at first but then totalling the price's up it came to just under a £100 (and alot was on sale!! ) Also with everyone else buying and her birthday being just after xmas i was pretty pleased with it.

So thought i'd share some pics and a few tips.

The dumped toys which i shifted from upstairs while kids were in the shower

So a couple of things woth mentioning, Make sure you no where your wrapping paper and sellotape are :dohh: :blush:unlike me

Check batterys and make a list of what you need, otherwise you'll have unahppy children for the rest of the day...especially with older one's!!

For younger children remove all the ties (the ones that keep the toy attached to box) before wrapping, those toddlers can get quite stropppy waiting for their toys!!:hissy:
Wobbles, i believe you have the carebear, that has loads!!!

Best Bargain - Mama's and Papas Pram, Sling, Travel Cot and Doll ...£15 reduced from £50!! :happydance:

Mummys favourite - Carebear that tells stories! :cloud9:

So add yours, i shall add Kierans when they're wrapped!!

where did you get the mamas and papas pram from?
 
Woolworths, but it was quite a while ago now x
 
Got the dog for Chase. Waiting for it to come in the mail :)

I definitely agree about those straps they secure the toy with. Some companies go a bit overboard. UGH! Pain trying to get them out on Christmas Day, especially when you have a few kids.
 
I do the same with the tags on toys.
Purely because I remember sitting for liek 15 minutes on christmas day waiting in a huff for my dad to un do the bloody barbies' hairs from the boxes so i could play with them lmao. Poor man, slightly drunk off dinner, tired from being up at 4am, blind in one eye and fiddling on with barbies with a small child huffing at your side. Sounds like xmas to me lmao :rofl:
 
Thats loads hun:happydance: I wanted the carebear but couldnt find a stockist :(.....I hate the thought of wrapping mine:dohh:
