Xmas Ideas P.S

I have just realised Nicky's head is too big for all his hats;

cos of course when I was using said hats the first time round it was coming into Spring so I didn't really use them for that long and never bought any bigger ones.

I think, however, this time round more will be needed. 0-3 months probly best.

Xmas ideas for the K-Ms

If it's not too late cos I was alarmingly informed today that Christmas is now just 4 weeks away ... really...?!

Anyway. Let's start with the easy ones
Daniel
Anything that involves the alphabet or numbers. He's just starting to recognise and learn them.
Extra pieces for his wooden train track (this is the Tesco one which is now readily available anywhere)
A Scooter - fold-up if poss but not essential.
Pyjamas: age 2-3 or 3.
Clothes generally. Tops age 3; trousers aged 2-3
Wall calendar - hopefully this link will explain what we mean!

Nicky
He's so young, it's difficult to say....
Anything you think appropriate will probably be fine :-)
If you want to get clothes I'm guessing he'll still be in 0-3 months come Crimbo.
He would probably like something new to look at on his activity mat

Rik n me
Okay, the only thing I have from R at the moment is wine glasses (we seem to have a lost a few recently!) and port glasses (both broken). Port also good :-)

For me, to be really boring I could do with some new bath towels (the big ones) - you know the colours I like. And given that our bedroom is a bit chilly I'd really like to satisfy a long-running wish and have a bedspread. Either a plain satiny one or one of those floral ones that places like the Radio Times does. (I know I said Mum was boring asking for sheets - sorry!)

One of those protectors you put on the back of car seats - I've just realised Dan has covered the back of my passenger seat in footprints .... thanks hon!

Other than that, Homebase or Focus vouchers good since we're still getting the house sorted.
The new Michael McIntyre DVD
Cranford DVD
Sex & The City DVD
Anything from Bravissimo
