  156. I wouldn’t want to bore you with the list from all three of my children however my little ones list is nice and short. She wants a lot of play doh and a bike but her birthday is in 2 days too so December she gets spoiled rotten.

  159. Daft as it sounds my great-niece wants a dressing table so she can be like Mummy. This is gorgeous. It’s a lot easier than her request last year when she wanted a “real” unicorn. Settled for a cuddly toy and a ride on my friends’ grey pony who had been very patient and allowed my friend to attach a horn to his browband and put purple sparkles all over him. My great-nephew wants “anything that’s not squishy” (he means anything but clothes lol). My other great-niece just wants anything at the moment as she’s just 1 and a bit.
