Christmas Ideas for the girls 2008

Oh my it's that time of year again, so i thought i'd just jot down a few suggestions for those family members who need a little help buying a little something for the girls.

What the girls really want for Christmas is:
That fantastic house we've been drooling over in Evercreech.


But seriously...

Both girls are quite into Playmobil so if you fancy buying any of that then go ahead.
Playmobil official website.
If you click into products on the left hand side, then there is every type of playmobil there you could possibly think of, it is lots of fun to look at.
You can buy direct from this website, and also from these websites http://www.amazon.co.uk or http://www.toysrus.co.uk
As a general guide within Playmobil, both girls like mummies and babies, Iris especially likes little tiny pushchairs and prams to put the babies in.
They also love animals / zoos.
There is a lovely playground set with swings and a roundabout and i think mummies and babies and buggies come with this set, but it's probably a bit expensive.
Feel free to join forces and buy something together.


If that doesn't take your fancy...

How about DVD's
They still really like Charlie & Lola, we currently have 1, 2 & 5
You can buy these all over, in shops like Woolworths, WHSmith etc... but if like my family, they've shut your local Woolworths down to build yet another supermarket then you can also buy them online at the BBC Online Shop.
This link might take you straight to Charlie & Lola DVD's or it might not.

or
* Charlie and the chocolate factory (the original with Gene Wilder in it)
* Mary Poppins
* Sleeping Beauty
* Chitty chitty bang bang

Feel free to suggest one, if it's going cheap in your local supermarket, we might have it but then again, we might not.


You can of course buy (or even make) something entirely different, but i would ask that you keep it small until somebody buys that house in Evercreech for us, where we would have all the room in the world.
