What have your family & friends asked for?

We used to buy things ourselves, but as al the kids get older and there are more nieces and nephews, it's not easy to work out who wants/needs what, so my sisters and I have started discussing things and making suggestions for each other to buy (we all have the same budget)

We all ask our mum what she wants and she will list a few things that are out, and we discuss between us who is getting what. Every now and then we will come up with a surprise we know she will love which we club together on.

Most other relatives just get whatever I choose for them, I do try and cater to their likes and dislikes though, rather than just buying a generic toiletry set or suchlike

DS1 (almost 4) has just started seeing things he wants. Most of the things he is getting is stuff I have bought throughout the year that I think he will like though. He has said he wants a Furby - and is getting one and he also wants Rainbow Dash which is a My Little Pony. If I can find one, he will be getting that despite the shear horror from OH that his precious son wants 'a girls toy'. He can have what he wants as far as I am concerned as I don't want him to grow up with any stereotypes around gender.

What is it with men eh?:rotfl:I can't be doing with stereotypes either and happily bought my son a baby when he was little (my concession was a blue outfit because of OH's opinion):p

At the end of the day, it's just a horse :T
