I guess it would depend on how old she is?
I saw that one and the Polly Pocket one - she is 9, I think the lego one is so cool I want her to have one just as cool - may have to settle for one of those 2.

There is also a Lego "City" advent calendar - not just the Star Wars one...not very girly but still fun! :-)

Mmmm I have an amazon wish list and and an Etsy one both are about 3 pages long, but no one bothers looking at them! One year he did ask to give him a list of things I would like for my birthday, so I gave him a long list expecting maybe a couple of things off the list. He bought them all, but didn't bother to wrap them or give them to me on my birthday just gave them to me as they came in the post...

Sorry to hear about the car battery.

I hate that, my hubby is the same. He doesn't seem to get that I want him to put a little thought into it, I would never go out and buy something expensive for myself and often get the comment 'if you want that bag just go buy it and it can be your christmas present from me', and would it really kill him to just buy a couple of little things to open:curse: (actually he managed it last year, so hopefully he has learnt)

I'm not doing bad this year, although my 9 year old has no idea what she wants, and I have no idea what to buy my boss, any ideas?

We always buy Christmas and Birthday gifts for each other in the department(there are only 4 of us). It's nice I like it, mainly because last year my boss bought me a very lovely Kate Spade handbag

It was my sister's birthday last Sunday and her husband bought her a steam iron! Needless to say, she wasn't at all impressed
