O/T What is your Child's MUST HAVE toy this year?

[yt]

Anyone with kids knows what this post is about.

My 7 year old daughter MUST HAVE the following -
Winx Club Dolls - the two she wants were the "rare ones" or at least they were rare when we were looking. We found them in Enfield.
Pixel Chix (3 to collect £29.99 each! to be fair she has only asked for one.) Sold out online except EBAY. Luckily I got one in Toysrus while they were in stock last week and they are now out of stock again! Advertising this on the tv like crazy.
Dominos - the action alley ones. Not rare at all! good girl.
Doggie day care.
Polly Pocket fairground
Many other requests smaller things really.
Total = £200ish but maybe a bit more

My 1 1/2 year old daughter is just happy to rip xmas paper! Aren't they great at that age. We got her a play kitchen, dougal toy (magic roundabout) and some other bits. Easy.
Total =£150ish

Can't imagine not getting what the 7 year old wants. Christmas would be a nightmare.

So - What is your Child's MUST HAVE toy this year?
And - Am I spending too much?

It's not for me to say whether you are spending too much. Though in general I think way too much is spent compared to what is necessary

However I did have a slight  when I asked my six year old daughter what she wanted Santa to bring her this Xmas and to write it down and we'll post it to Lapland

The answer, in red felt tip, was as follows, word for word


Dear Santa

Daddy says I hav to rite to you to tel you wat I want four Critsmas

I want A PONY (with picture of something resembling a Pony)

i hav ben a good gurl and I promis to help mum tidy up and be a good gurl again

Love

I have spent the last few weeks severely downgrading expectations

The boys are easy......Football playstation games etc


but I always get them something worthwhile...this year all mine are sponsoring an endangered animal through WWF

Possibly that extinct pony.

A PONY!!!! I think I got off lightly.

Both of mine want pushbikes, managed to get them both one for £59.99 +VAT from Makro.  Youngest wants a GameCube too, his dad's getting him this, but I didn't find this out until I had bought him the game he wanted for his PS2!!!  The eldest is getting money off his dad.

I'm more interested in what Santa is bringing me for Xmas - that should be very interesting....

I'd send Glitter but he's having some legal issues and you might not want him around the kids.

Kalem= camera and leather jacket smellys and socks in the stocking
Sam =( bearing in mind she's 18 ) barbi doll !!! ring , watch and i dread to think what else . smellys and underwear in the stocking.
William= bits and bobs for the mini moto stupied thing we got him for his birthday  , same as kalem with the stocking
Ben= Aftershave , clothes  , jewelry same as kalem with stocking fillers
Harry =Wants everything in the Argos book ..lol ,
Katies would be happy with paper and boxes as she's only 16 months , but we got her 1st dolly and pram awwwww
Paul=Wants to win a major poker event , sure Santa will do his best ... lol
Me ? As long as all the above are happy them i'm happy.

Well as such monkeys dont celebrate any religious holidays but if i have a decent win on the green felt in cyberland i will probably treat myself to something nice. If i do then my little 'uns of 18 months and 9 months will get the box whatever my treat comes in, that should keep them quiet for months to come. They enjoy nothing more of one hiding in the box and jumping out when the other one walks past.

If that doesnt keep them quiet then i might have to shell out on some catnip treats.............
