I am thinking about getting Jacob the LeapPad Little Touch System for christmas with the little touch pooh loves you book, has anyone got one, is it worth buying?

Xxx

I got one for Aaron last Christmas with loads of the books, cost a fortune and he's now a year old and still won't play with it. I'm hoping he'll play with it when he's a bit older though.

Stanley has a large family who are all desperate to spend money on him, always fighting over what to buy.

OH and I didn't have to spend a penny getting ready, the nursery was kitted out, clothes, pushchair etc.

So we're considering buying him NOTHING for xmas. he'll only be four months and will have so much and we're skint while I'm off work. Is that really rotten though?

Honest opinions please ladies! (I can take it)

 

[xSuzx]

I don't think it's rotten at all.

As LO will only be a few months old, If lily had been the same age as you LO we'd proberly only get her somthing little like a rattle or soft book or toy or something simular but I'd have only sprent about a tenner as everyone else will be buying toys and they don't really play with them yet.

One thing I'd do is though make a list of some toys you'd like the family to buy and make sure you have a range of toys for the different ages of 3, 6 & 9 months as it'll be nearly a year before LO's 1st B'day and a bunch of new prezzies lol, then ask who wants to buy what of your list that way you shouldn't get many duplicates.

Minxy - nooooo I dont thing it is wrong not to buy him anything. I had the same dilemma last year but I have absolutly NO will power when it comes to shopping (or eating! lol) so I did end up buying some bits n bobs.

It is so easy to spend, spend and spend some more - so well done you for being sensible.

How good are you at making stuff? Maybe make him a couple of comfort blankies with tags on it or different textures (bits and material like this can be picked up for a few pence at car boots etc) then when he grows out of it - it can go in his 'memory box' as the first xmas pressie he ever had - plus it would mean more as you have made it yourself. My son loves a comfort blankie at night - he has not long started wanting one.

Hiya beany!

Minxy I wouldn't feel bad at all. If you wanted to you could always put money into his bank instead?
