Ok so ive been sat down with my son today talking abotu Xmas presents and telling him he can have one definate main gift to tell Santa (who will move hell and high water to get it for him) and then a couple of odds and ends to make up the rest of his allocated xmas money
well he has decided he would like 3 main presents but if he gets them he will be super happy
1. a cars 'mack' truck that opens up into the race way - the MEGA MACK
PLAYSET
on amazon its £39.21!!:eek: argos its £32.24:rolleyes: but is ment ot be £42.99!!!:eek:
2. A power rangers megazord form operation overdrive - on amazon its £49!!:eek: :eek: and in argos its £39.99!!!!
3. a ben 10 watch - its £13 on amazon and argos its £13.97
THATS £101.21!!!!! for 3 presents!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Is anyone else having heart failure at how much their childrens wishlists are costing???

Which Ben 10 watch is it? If its the omnitrix that just makes the sounds, i've seen them in (i think) Wilkinsons for about £9.990

Sammy I keep thinking this! We are now almost sorted for our son who is 6 but our daughter will have the same money wise but only a few presents. I buy bits and bobs all through the year and although sometimes he changes his mind I mostly know what he will want etc.Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0

Actually i usually faint at what darling hubby wants... Like this year it's a Dive Watch... proper one not a waterproof normal watch
He'll use it maybe once a year - probably less now Bean is on the way. Me? Rarely wish for anything big - I ask him for cheapie things or one year I asked for diamond earrings and bracelet and pointed him towards some nice but not exceedingly expensive ones... they were not what I got - I found the receipts and they cost TWICE what the ones I showed him did! ARGH! Don't get me wrong they are lovely and I wear them all the time - well I want to get his moneys worth out of them!
However I dread to think about how much he'll be wanting to spend on Bean... He'd merrily spend hundreds on the little bundle of trouble without thinking about whether it's likely to ever get played with again after Christmas... :rolleyes:DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!

My kids were pretty good with their 'wish lists' - been a few years back now I know but they wrote down what they wanted but always knew they wouldn't get it all..............but they'd get something from their list...........often it was the cheapest thing !Mary
I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
