What did everyone buy for their sons first christmas

Random question. I've had a 2nd, summer sales are on for toys. Unfortunately birthday is a few days after Christmas 🤮🤮🤮 so I'm looking to start buying.

What did everyone buy and what lasted? Either specifically for a boy or just general. I have not a clue, buying for girls is easy 😅

Selling Jewelry

My sis-in law moved out and she left a few things behind. We asked if she plans to come back for them she said no. She left a lot of stuff. Even a piano. She left some jewelry,and she did said I can do whatever I want with them. I plan to keep some,but some i want to sell,but not sure where. Thier gems. One is a blue gem. I would keep it,but not a fan of blue gems. I prefer green, red and yellow gems lol. Where is the best place to sell the jewelry

Mil buying Father’s Day present

So my mil brought my husband Father’s Day gifts from the kids.

I did find it strange and had a moment to myself thinking why? It’s not really your place. I mean don’t get me wrong it was a personalised top and mug so it was only small.
What are your thoughts? Am I over thinking.

Did any do a mystery box thing of thing for a reward system for brushing teeth and going potty?

If so what did you have in that mystery box?? Mil tells me I need to think of things to put in it because stickers should be used for leading up to the mystery box but idk….

Nursery Key Worker Birthday!

Is it a thing getting your LOs key worker a gift on their birthday? I mean I don’t even know when his nursery key workers birthday, i just had this random thought that maybe it’s a thing people do?

Share your thoughts lol

Let’s talk teacher gifts 🎁

What is everyone getting for teacher/TA gifts this year? I’ve got some ideas but I’m curious what everyone else is doing.

Do people still add things like a small bottle of prosecco/wine, or is it more just sweet treats now?

What's your favourite thing to order from a Chinese Takeaway?

I'm UK, I think the US is a bit different but I'd still like to hear your suggestions 😊

Teachers Gifts

My little boys officially approaching the end of his first year in nursery, he’s a September baby so he’s got another year to go before he graduates and will still be going in one day a week. I‘ve decided to give them gift cards instead of stressing over things they may or may not like. How much should I give? There’s five of them he talks about on a regular basis, his room leader is also his key worker. Do you gift differently to the key worker? 🤯 Initially I thought of baking them something as well as gift cards if I have the time for it but I may just do that during Christmas instead 🤔

Father’s Day!

I could do with some gift ideas for my daughter’s dad, for context she’s 3 and we split a few months ago. We are civil but usually I would have got him items such as clothing but that doesn’t feel my place anymore. I’ve also probably got him every sentimental “dad” related present over the years so really struggling this year, any help appreciated!

Gift ideas for first father’s day?

My husband is really simple and doesn’t buy anything for himself. What can I give him that is cute and thoughtful but also somewhat useful? Please help!

Yoto or TONIES?

Hello all, I’m looking for gifts for my son’s first birthday and really wanted to get either a Yoto or a toniebox but I’m so confused? Does anyone have them and could recommend? Really want something that will give me good value for money since essentially seems like their function is quite similar. Thanks ladies xx

Birthday disappointment

My birthday is less than two weeks after my LO. Last year when she was born, I was hardly present mentally or emotionally, far less ready to celebrate or anything. This year is my 30th. I have been talking about getting a Switch 2 as a gift for months, ever since that new Pokemon game came out. My birthday is this week and my partner let it slip that no one is getting it for me.
Am I sad that I'm not getting it? Yes. But more than that I feel forgotten about? Overlooked? Like this was the one thing I really wanted. I told people this. My parents usually get me a higher price tag gift so this wouldn't be something unusual. I feel like since she's been born I'm just in the background. Now I'm sitting on the bathroom floor trying to figure out how to be smiley and appreciative of whatever I do get.
I work so hard to make sure my family and friends get nice things for birthdays and holidays. I start Christmas shopping in October. I spend so much time looking out for others and then end up with a bunch of okay gifts that I don't really want. I don't know what to do or say. My partner has offered multiple times this evening to order it but I don't feel like that fixes it?
