Pogo Stick, Roller Skates and some Stilts. I'd give them a go too!! (Although I'd probably end up in A&E haha!)

I had a pogo stick too 😂probably fall off these days. I can't have osteoporosis as had a fall flat on my face near the supermarket. Tripped up the step. I felt so stupid wished the ground had opened up beneath me.

I want a Hatchimal and I don’t think 29 is too old for toys. See link if you don’t what I’m talking about; smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toy...

Cherub198889 in reply to

I never heard of a Hatchimal until now, but I want one too!

What I want, is not a silly present..... A new Kettle, because mine has just blown up! :(

Ended up boiling water in the microwave, for a not so decent cup of tea for me & my sister :/

I make play doh for the grandchildren. Kneading it when it is still hot soothes my hands beautifully and the kids love it

We must be the same age Julie. I loved to open new strips of plasticine & had a Playdoh Fun Factory & a Fuzzy Felt farm. I had a small box of Lego too, the base was only tiny but I played with it lots. I recently bought a couple of tubs of Playdoh, though not for play, it's to exercise my hands! I swear the tubs have shrunk & it's nowhere near as scented.

I remember being sorely tempted to buy a child's handbag in the shape of a fluffy black and white border collie. Couldn't quite bring myself to do it. I came so close though so would secretly love one of those for Christmas. Along with Mog and the Vet. One of the best children's books ever.

Go for it darling and get it. We buy each other a silly present and the most useless gift it is the better with the least money a well.xxxx

in reply to sylvi

Haha. Ah, it was a few years ago and I do remember checking but they had sold out. I remember it was £12 and I couldn't justify it as I had no small daughter or granddaughter to give it to and I thought people would think I was certifiable if I went to pay for my goods with a border collie purse with a cleverly concealed zip in it's back ! ( The 7 year old me would have been over the moon with it though) : ) xx

I plan on asking my husband for a set of pink tools but I'm not sure how silly that is as it is a very useful item it's just unusual to be pink.

A little basket full of wool, knitting needles and French knitting doll, this was a regular Christmas present from my grandmother and whenever I see one brings back happy memories of her. A meal cooked by Gino de Campo, but then I would need the trip to Italy to go with it lol. X

An Enid Blyton book and an annual of some sort. Always git those when I was a little girl. Loved the smell of new books. Weird eh? Love love love Christmas

ITYFIALMCTT profile image
ITYFIALMCTT in reply to Winnie53

I used to like my brother's Thunderbird annual. I still cook my poached pears from a Lady Penelope recipe that was in one of those. :) (Original long since gone but that recipe was the first time I poached them.)

I still remember an elaborate story that involved Lady Penelope's keen musical ear that helped her to detect that a piano had been altered - there was a dummy key involved and an injection into a false finger. Yada, yada. But my brother was such a good pianist and himself excellent at being able to identify a piece of music from the 'dummy keyboard' segment on Face the Music that I've always strongly identified him with that story.

I remember that round on Face the Music! It must have been one of my Dad's favourite programmes I think.

ITYFIALMCTT profile image
ITYFIALMCTT in reply to nomoreheels

The guests were so impressive, mind so was the presenter, Joseph Cooper. It has to be said tho' that various members of my family were uncannily good at Hidden Melody and Dummy Keyboard.

The regulars Joyce Grenfell, Robin Ray, Richard Baker, and Bernard Levin stick out in my mind. A few years ago BBC re-broadcast a series of Joyce Grenfell programmes in which she performed monologues and they were such a testament to her versatility.
