    That's a nice idea Foss It won't work for us this year as we will be in limbo for at least a couple of months I expect (the pain of short term contracts!) but I will definitely keep it in mind for next year, or as a moving in present when we finally know what we are doing.

    A camera so he can take his own photos of your trip.

    Hi guys! Thanks for all your suggestions. I was beginning to think DS is a bit spoilt as he actually had a lot of those things either here or back in OZ. But he mentioned that he would really like a little guitar (aka ukelele). He has one back home but just a toy one. So I had a look around and found an silent electric one (that you can use with headphones or an amp), which is perfect! We live in a flat so definitely don't want to be making lots of noise, and my hubby would like to learn the uke as well so if DS gets bored there is someone else who is keen. Its not an expensive one but it is a proper one so should be a lot of fun to muck around on, plus it isn't too big (just over 30cm) so we should be able to get it home easily enough. Whew, one more birthday decision done!
