    We are doing a road trip over christmas too, not quite so far but Adelaide to Northern NSW will be interesting with three small children

    DD1 will be 6 and is getting 2 books, power wing scooter (she requested this), 3 small folkmanis hand puppets, pillow pet slippers
    DD2 will be 4 and is getting 2 books, a 2 wheel scooter which came with a skateboard, pillow pet slippers, a small wicker case with a tin tea set
    DD3 will be 9 months is getting a lamaze ring stacker, small alphabet dino and a toy letterbox

    Stockings for older girls will have cheap hairclips, jewellery, bubble bath, nightie, singlet and undies set (wont need to pack as many for our holidays) bubble bath, skipping rope DD3 is getting PJ's, a soft book and a sock moneky (the sock monkey should pretty much fill the stocking!) and a $2 inflatable beach ball to use in Popas pool.

    We are lucky as my parents are coming down at the end of the month and bringing an empty suitcase to take some things in for us and once they have opened everything it should be easier to bring home minus packaging

    The older girls birthdays are coming up and they are getting portable DVD players (for the road trip ) Cheap as chips had bright lap top stable tables with little lights so they are getting one each to do colouring/mini puzzles on while we drive. Ebay cheap-o pettiskirts as they are into girly stuff. DD2 is getting a night light that doubles as a torch as she likes a night light but her current lamp is really bright even with the lowest watt bulb we could put in it and she is getting a barbie puzzle. DD1 is getting a Princess Jasmine(from Aladdin) doll as she is into princess Jasmine right now, probably because they share a name . She is getting Gellez I think they are called which are in the craft section

    DD1s requests were the scooter, an ipad, trampoline, motorised car, new swing set and a mobile phone!!! She has very expensive taste and we had to say no way to most and explained father christmas had to buy stuff to make these things and the stuff to make them costs too much money for every child to get one! Maybe when she is bigger she might get a phone or ipad, like 10 years older!!!

    Hooley dooley. she does have expensive taste. Haven't heard of pillow pet slippers but Santa has orders for pillow pets so I might need to look into them too

    Novella my DD1 wants all that stuff too. She's almost 11 & still not that lucky

    Thankfully the little kids really have no idea what half that stuff is, let alone what you do with it.

    big w has the slippers I think they are down to $10 a pair. Grandparetns are getting them pillow pets for birthdays. She wasn't expecting all of the things she suggested but each time we said x was too expensive the next suggestion was more outrageous!

    thanks! Miss E was "reading" the toy catalogues last year and kept getting really excited about something but then would say "No, I can't have thatr. Its too pensive" Don't like my chances that that attitude will continue

    I haven't got very far with Christmas ideas, but Coles has a two for one deal on Disney movies, so def some of those!
