    Bought my favourite Yankee Candle, Christmas Eve, as a treat to myself :) It was €18 instead of €28, bargain :D

    Wow so Christmassy!! (Sarcasm alert).

    Maybe they look nicer in real life. Those pictures are terrible.

    Literally none of those photos spark anything Christmassy in me - except the last one and only because I can see some wreaths and baubles!

    I think I read online earlier that BTs in Dublin are also unveiling their Christmas windows today. I think they may be owned by the same company so they are probably equally as 'Christmassy' as Selfridges :(

    Fairy tale scenes are not Christmassy!!! :mad:

    Fairy tales remind me more of Easter than Christmas!

    A teddy bear that they can grow up with is usually a great present.

    How old will they be? Big different between 2 months and 10 months.

    Elf 3 will be 8 months, give or take, by Christmas so like Loughc said, I'm thinking soft teddy/Disney character as one toy. The other two still have the ones they got for their first Christmas.

    Clothes or an ornament for the tree?

    I like the soft toy idea. My nephew was given a little soft toy that rattled or squeaked or something for his first Christmas and he didn’t put the thing down. It was small enough for him to hold and chew on and he just loved it.

    My 6yo still sleeps every night with his favourite teddy that was a gift on his first Christmas. It's a great idea.

    Our two were 11 months old for their first christmas and were already crawling & rolling around, they got loads of soft toys & stuff like that but the toys they played with the most were a drum & xylophone (think thats what they're called anyway), basically stuff they could hit with drumsticks & make noise from... they played with them constantly & loved them. We still laugh at the photos we have of them both playing with them.
    Wow, such great memories. Whatever you get them, just take it all in & enjoy every second of it, it goes waaaay to quickly.

    Love that idea DvB. Anything they can explore themselves at that age is a great idea. (The noisier the better. :pac:)

    Agree.

    Sometimes its the simple things that work out best. Many's a fancy toy got discarded in no time & ended up in the bin or being donated elsewhere.
