Christmas

Because of how much I get I’ve started buying fur Christmas now, but what do you get a 8 month old fur Christmas, it’s such an awkward age, there past the age of sitting and tummy time and there hand way into the waking stage so most things will already be bought, best I can think is a toy box!

SK's never say thank you

I've got 2 SK's, both boys aged 12 and 14 and they never ever say thank you, which is really grinding my gears! I mostly ignore it when it's small things like handing them something, helping them with something etc. but we've just come back from a 2 week holiday in Spain with them and they didn't say thank you once....

Big sister presents

Hey guys! So I’m due with my little boy in 3 weeks and I have a 23 month old little girl. I’m thinking about buying my little girl “big sister presents” for when the baby arrives so she doesn’t feel left out/ pushed away. Any thoughts/ ideas?

How to politely ask for money/voucher/gift cards etc for 3rd birthday?

We have all the toys she will need, and know some people will still choose a physical gift. But how can I politely give the option to contribute towards her experiences (the Zoo, our local conservatory, swim pass etc) . TIA ❤️

Teacher gifts - why?

I don't have kids in school yet (still a baby) but have come across a lot of posts about mums getting their kids teachers gifts. What is that about and is it mandatory? I just feel like a teacher is getting government pay, a good pension, a vast amount of holidays and do they expect gifts on top? What if a family c...

Amazon wish list returns

We ended up with similar/duplicate items as gifts. Does anyone know if I return a wish list gift whether I get the money as credit to repurchase something else or whether a refund goes back to the sender? There are some family members who will be offended by a return TIA X
