Not buying it

We stopped buying online a while ago, out of respect for those key workers in the postal service. Our postie has been heaving round with a huge trolley of parcels in addition to the usual post, because our local services are massively overwhelmed.

Now things are starting to open up a little, I've thought about buy DGS a couple of new things (he's growing like a weed) only to find I've lost the taste for shopping. I'm OK doing the weekly online grocery shop, but beyond that, have little interest.

Anyone else with me?

I asked my DGS’s mums what they’d want, Lucca. The two 6 year olds have had a remote controlled car and a solo football trainer respectively, the 5 year old just wanted a pack of multi-coloured paper and Prittsticks, the 3 year old a little wooden train with his name on. Our eldest is 9 and he asked fo an UNO game and a couple of I Spy books, the baby couldn’t be left out so got a couple of books too. Amazon has come in very handy!

It’s a while since they got those, so I’m now ordering magazine subscriptions for them, again asking their mums.

Thanks. Yes I’d just like to send a little surprise! No problem with 5 year old DGD not so easy for the boy as apparently what he wants is a leaf blower.....a real one

Wicked Uncle is good for older children - always worth a slightly off-beat look.
