    Our bubs are all having their birthdays b/w now and x-mas... well they started in Sept so we will stop buying b'day pressies right before x-mas.

    I suggested like a secret santa for b'day presents but we had kind of 'missed the boat' as some ppl had already organised presents etc but am thinking as we are still buying presents as we wont have the cash maybe it's a suggestion for x-mas.

    I am not sure if i should suggest it though, they might not want to do x-mas presents?

    Hmm might bring it up at MG tomorrow and see what they want to do. thanks for reminding me.

    Depending on the age of the kids maybe you could do handmade gifts, little tubs of playdough, finger paintings from your little on on canvases? etc etc?

    We only did presents in our first year of MG, after that we weren't getting together so often so didn't bother. What we did though was presents just for the mums & we did a Secret Santa thing so we only had to buy one present. We did mums because we figured the kids would be spoilt by family & Santa () so it would be nice for the mums to get an extra pressie.
