My DD has asked us to buy pyjama onesies for all of the grandchildren. Apparently Santa Claus is bringing toys, games etc., so they don't need any more from relatives. I've already ordered two, the other two will be ordered next week.

go to ebay and have a trawl thru.
last year I got balance bikes - really good value - one of them I paid £15 for - it was over £100 new - cleaned it off, bit of a paint job - perfect.

Here it is jodhpurs for 4 yr old.
French quilted bedspread for 2 yr old.

they will get tiny little thinks for stockings too.

I'm still struggling for 4 boys 5 and under.

Brownie accessories and Smiggle things, if you have a GD you will know how desirable the smelly pencil cases and rubbers are. Onesies, MLP and annuals. WiiU and DS games.
When buying dolls', if it is Annabel, I buy tiny baby clothes because they are better made than the brand name dolls' clothes and actually cheaper too.

So, I'm looking for a gift for my granddaughter for Christmas, and thought I'd see what everyone is getting for you own grandchildren... It may even inspire some ideas. I'm currently thinking of something to do with dolls, as she absolutely adores them!

So, what are you getting?
