After reading through the other thread about Xmas presents, I am stuck for what to get my neice and 2 nephews. They are 6, 9 and 11. I wanted to get them something they could all play together, but they have heaps already.
Was thinking of a boardgame like Cadoo but they have it. Any other ideas? What about outdoor stuff or games? I think they already have badminton, cricket etc.... Any ideas much appreciated. TIA.  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

That new twister game looks cool, where you spread the dots out and have to race to get to a certain colour..... -------------

What about water guns, it's always hot on Christmas day and such fun playing with water.

Super spoilt kids and they have most of your suggestions  Am now looking at getting them a diabolo and pois, or something like that, a bit different. Thanks for the ideas though  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
