My daughter will be seven months old at Christmas; we have got her some toys for the bath (£5!) and then will put some money in her child trust fund account. We both figured that she won't know it's Christmas and the idea of seeing her opening a little present is just for our benefit!
However some people I know are buying loads of presents for their babies - Do you think we are mean?

Not at all - I've just got a couple of toys for my son - he'll be 6 months at xmas. Great idea about the child trust fund. I'll borrow that one if you don't mind

My 10 year old stepson's main present is a Gameboy Advance and some games to go with it.

We have also got him:
Remote Control K9
Dr Who Cyber Helmet
20Q game
Cube World
A Dragon Kite
Paper Planes Kit
Ferrari model car kit
Pyjamas
Bubble bath
Little science type stocking fillers

Still to get some clothing, books and a board game.

Looks a lot but I do go overboard at Christmas

(Also my mother-in-law gets him too much in my opinion and we do feel like it's a competition. It is silly to rise to it and we should just let her get on with it but I do think that as his parents he should be getting his "main" present from us).

I can't say.

No1 son frequents this site. I still miss behave though.

My DS's father brought him a psp for last Christmas, all he wants this year are games for it. He is 10, Ive brought him a few other bits, like dr who trump cards, various dvd's, hot wheels and micro machine sets (reduced from toys-r-us in the summer), and a large rucksack and thick sleeping bag for his camping trips with scouts.

DD will be 7, her main present is a pink nintendo ds with a daschund hound game. that was £99.97 in tesco. A talking furby which was reduced in tesco.
A few dvd's, Girls aloud cd,

Cant think of any other's, all presents are in hiding in my OH's parents spare room.

15yo Step D is getting a new Ipod Shuffle - its tiny!!!!! And only £55 direct from Apple and free engraving - shes also getting a £15 itunes voucher. Thats it for her!

12yo is getting a digital camera with bag and memory card and stuff. Spent £65

4yo is getting Doctor Who stuff - she loves him! So she has a large Doctor Doll, a large Cyberman and a Tardis moneybox.

2yo is getting a Millie Doll from ELC with the free accessory set.

They will all have a Stocking with a further £20 of stuff in each (small games etc) suitable for the ages - but in total I reckon I have spent £300 for the 4 kids - all bought via Quidco to!

my eldest wants a recurve bow, lot of money but archery is not a cheap sport

My son is getting the bubble computer and probably a Playmobil aeroplane as he is desparate for an airport. (he is 3)

He has a few other bits but nearly everything I have bought has been reduced.

In total we will spend about £50

My three year old son is getting a dino-rescue helicopter from ELC (20% off voucher), a jigsaw-Atlas book from Usborne (Waterstones has 3 for 2 at the moment), a snakes and ladders game and a skipping rope.

My one year old daugher is much harder - she is getting a lovely soft teddy that was free from Vertbaudet, an ELC "little village" house (again 20% off) to go with a present she had for her birthday, and she will get a couple of books as well. Also if I can find something wheeled - train, plane etc that she might like I will get that.

And I put a wee bit of money into their Child Trust funds too.
