I can't believe we are nearly half way through December. Time goes too fast. I have completed most of my xmas shopping minus a couple of things. It has been easier this year thanks to a family secret santa. I've not bought for any of my parents or siblings because they are part of the secret santa, and the rule is you only buy for who you're given. I have instructed my mum not to buy for my kids, which I imagine she'll find hard. But if people start buying for people alongside the secret santa gifts, it removes the simplicity of doing a secret santa in the first place. I prefer it this way. The kids all have birthdays so mum can go mad then if that's what she wants to do.
My kids have approx 6 gifts each (each gift ranges in price from £5 to £35) , plus a small stocking. Zach is really hard to buy for. He's a technology nerd and he's not into conventional toys. He's been the hardest to buy for, but I think i've done well. He has a programmable truck thing, you have to type codes in it to instruct it where to go. And he has a radio control plane that will actually fly, a lego set, a lego game and 2 minecraft books. Jed, Blake &;Arabelle have all been easy to buy for.
