I accidentally on purpose bought a Nintendo switch in black Friday deal 😄. We can't afford it and have never spent so much on one item before, ever. But... It's the 1 thing he's desperate for, it will make his Christmas amazing. We were all ready to find a bargain on a PS4 at around £160 but there was nothing less than £199 so ended up thinking sod it and spending £270 on the one he really wanted instead. I feel a bit sick when I see that amount of money written down 🤢
Have to keep reminding myself it will be worth it on Christmas morning.
Anyone else done similar this year?! Make me feel better!

I spent almost £170 on Ghostbusters Playmobil if that helps. I was doing really well, DS4 was way under budget then I saw it and needed it all for him. It is 6 sets, and i could split it between him and ds3 and they will get a lot of use from it. And it's something I won't mind playing with them with so we'll get bonding time and their faces will be amazing. But year, it's still like omg how did I do that?

Ha ha I’m as bad as both of you - I just totally out of the blue brought my oh a PS4 today and then I let my mum spend £150 on playmobil for my kids most of which was ghostbusters!

I haven't but after baby was born a couple of weeks ago OH mentioned he'd picked up a little gift for Lucas from baby. I was expecting a teddy or something, came home and he'd got him a Nintendo Switch. Weeks before Christmas, I nearly killed him

Thanks ladies!
Kate&lucas that is worse than mine!
I think it's just that we have never even close to spent that much on a gift before! And we aren't exactly loaded right now!

I might have spent £600 this morning on a Sonos Playbase for DH. His birthday is a few weeks after Christmas so he won’t be getting much for that.

Oh and we also just bought next summers holiday.....

It's a lot of money but I think you were right to spend the extra on what he really wanted !

I've not bought anything this Black Friday ... yet lol still time !

It is a lot of money but it sounds like he will be so happy with his present on Christmas day

That's the thing, he will go absolutely mad! I'll be filming as he opens it!

Aww congratulations Kate&Lucas, hope you're both doing well x x x

And i completely understand your OH spoiling your son, i was the same. Although admittedly not that close to xmas lol

Im feeling loads better reading all these posts. I try to be sensible but sometimes you just think sod it! They're little for such a short time and those faces when they unwrap presents they never thought they would get is just priceless.

Yes although ours was £300 from game on offer with 2 games. And an ipad for ds2 it will be worth it on christmas morning to see their faces
