Awesome that you were able to find those Phantom, my DD2 was talking about those mixies the other day, they look pretty cute.

I picked up the board game Ticket to ride, it was on sale for $21 in target, I’ve been wanting to get that game for ages but haven’t been able to justify spending $50 on it! That will be a joint gift from Santa.

We love a board game here.

OK so I have been feeling anxious about waiting until 16th (as one thing is already out of stock)
So I placed my amazon order today and used my CC. I've ready set a payment up for 16th to pay it straight back out again .

I got:
Bath robes
Gymnastics Card Game DD2
Enchanted Woods books DD1
Usborne Book DD2
Fit Watches x 2

Now I just need to go to Smyths and get the giant teddies they want. I'm paying cash for those so checking stock daily. Roll on Friday (my only day off)

 

[motherofboys]

Good luck getting the teddies! I feel your anxiety on waiting until the 16th. I'm usually done now and getting ready to wrap. The anxiety of anywhere having stock, or having to hunt them down on ebay and pay extra, or them not arriving in time, was really getting to me

 

[AngelUK]

I feel for you ladies! FX it all works out ok. Payment plans are a good idea. I usually do that with Paypal when I can but Amazon offers something similar on some things I think.

I am still trying to work out what to get my boys! I am starting to panic! I know a few things but I have only one or two small things that could be stocking fillers. What are you getting for your boys? I need inspo!

Me too! I haven’t got any stocking fillers.

I've just ordered DD1s husky Teddy. She wanted a 'family' of teddies but I was planning to just get a giant one from Smyths. However IKEA of all places had a large one (60cm) and smaller one (30cm) for half the price. DH preferred the IKEA one too as they looked more realistic...
Dd1 is obsessed with husky, and dogs/cats in general.

I'm finally almost there gift wise.

I got Zac these cubes which are like rubix cubes but have different things on. The pack that arrived was a little different from the one in the picture but there was a Sudoku one, and one with letters on, and one with a picture to watch. He enjoys things that stretch the mind so I hope he'll like that.
The big 4 all have a bath bomb and top up for their online wallets so they can download games/add ons after Christmas.
Nate has some wwe accessories, and Seth has some Teen Titans Go figures.
When the older 2 were younger they always liked little blind bags, like the lego ones in their stockings.
Do they enjoy arty things? Could put some pencils etc in.... Zac also has gloves for when he's playing football in the winter, they are special sports ones so give more grip for throw ins than wool gloves. Oh also in Zac's Christmas eve stuff he has a football puzzle book and a BRX football player, I know one of your boys is in to football. I did look for the old big headed football player collectibles but couldn't find many.
Also top trumps have always been popular in the past, and if they collect any cards or stickers (like match attacks) then a pack of them.
Oh and Nate and Seth (I feel like at 11 and 8 they are just either side of your boys so may be useful) have these little sticky Elves you can throw and walls/windows and they tumble down the wall.

 

[AngelUK]

Ooh Some really great ideas there, thank you so much!!
The cubes, football puzzle game, the blind bags and the bath bombs especially are brilliant ideas! Where did you get your bombs? I actually thought of that but most Ive seen are quite girly smells, like jasmine and roses in pink and purple with unicorn decoration, which I think they might not like that much lol

Eta Im definitely getting tops trumps. They are always popular and we have so many variants.
I also found a Monopoly Deal game which is Monopoly but can be played in 15 minutes which sounds great to me as I dont always want to commit to a proper game as it takes so long.

 

[motherofboys]

I got mine from the site I buy my wax melts from ( Products ) I got them a while back when they had Halloween ones as usually everything is so girly, and these were shaped like the Hulk, and bats and things. They had them in men's after shave scents like Creed as well which I got for the older boys, or just fruity ones rather than flowery ones. I think there are meant to be some Christmas ones going on soon as I know she had a delivery the other day.

 

[AngelUK]

Thank you, I will check that out!

 

[Babybump87]

[motherofboys]

Work secret santa. Hopefully it's OK, but as it's only women taking part this year they said everyone buy something and we will do it lucky dip style, so was trying to find something that would be loved by any taste and age from 20s to 60s!
