    Have a DVD player in the car. Some games & game books might be the go. But they got alot of that stuff last year, as we came over just after christmas

    DS games would be a good idea. Or just finding the 8 i bought last year

    Part of the presents will be hopefully picking up their bikes & wii etc & bringing them home with us. Haven't had them for a year

    Games for the DS, DVD's for the cra trip, travel games.
    Board games, Books, craft stuff.

    Not sure what my girls are getting, DD1 just got a quad bike for her b'day and we gave DD2 one aswell.
    They have a swing set and got a trampoline last year.

    We could look at a cubby but i think DP wants to build one - i'm VERY stuck.

    Am going to the Mattel factory thing tomorrow though so i might have to look at Barbie stuff and maybe a decent dolls house or barbie house etc.

    My boys are getting a new trampoline mat as a joint present. That's if I ever get off my butt and order it LOL. The one they have currently is the same one I had as a teenager.

    They are all getting a pair of Nike's each from us.
    In their Santa sacks they have a personalised blanket each, the older 2 have 2 books each, and the younger one has a book and a pair of wireless headphones which is something he really really wants for some reason LOL.

    I think that will be about it. I was going to do portable DVD players for them all, but the jury is still out on that.

    I usually do 1 main (big or exxy pressie), some smaller ones & clothes, I once heard a quote for present buying which went something like this "Something they want, something they need, something they wear, something they read" its an awesome thing to go by imo!

    DD1 (10) Nintendo 3DS, clothes, diary of a wimpy kid book series & the DVD movie, itunes voucher, Portable DVD player (we are travelling 4hrs xmas morning), Penny board.

    DD2 (8) Mountain Bike, Helmet, Clothes, Books, DVD's, Portable DVD player,

    DS1 (3.5) Leappad explorer, leapad guitar, lego, portable DVD player, DVD's, books and anything trucks

    DS2 (will be 10wks old) A few age approprite toys and clothes

    Thats all i have on my list for them at the moment!!

    My kids are very spoilt. I can't remember exactly but DD is getting a Charley Bear, Dinosaur pillow pet, Seasame street kitchen, Baby nursery set (cot, pram etc) and thats all i can remember.. i'm sure there was more.

    DS is getting a mobile for his cot and a few small toys.

    Then i want to get DD a slide for the backyard and mum was talking about a cubby house or play gym.

    Theyre both getting clothes and DD a chocolate stocking.

    The only thing we have decided on is a basketball hoop for DD (The adjustable height one) and a ball to go with it. Thinking of getting her an Xbox game as well so she can play and leave DH alone when he plays his. A fishing rod and hat from her Nanna and Pop.
    I also picked up the Pop up Pirate game for her. She is starting to like playing games so maybe a few easy ones for her.

    They are all getting a trampoline, and DS is getting a Transformer and a giant box of Lego (1600 pieces.. I think Santa will curse herself for that if she steps on some during the middle of the night ). The twins are getting a outdoor climbing gym with TWO slides - no more fighting over our slide. Although they will probalby still fight over which slide they get. They will all get a book from Santa too. Other years I have gone mad and brought heaps of bits and pieces, but I am trying to be restrained this year
