Gift suggestion

[GrantA]

what would u get for an ex from your children for christmas.

The history is that him and my so called sister had an affair and we split up cos of this, they are still together (6 months so far), so i dont want to upset anything and i am stuck as what i should do, i have two children with him, one is 3 years old and the other is 3 weeks old.

Personally, i dont want to get him anything, but should i for the sake of the children?

A nice framed photo of them?

evians is a good idea. Something that connects him and the children. Or how about some mugs with handprints on or something, you may find a local store that does it.

Brilliant idea Evian - one of those hardback photo books is a lovely idea too, they make great presents. Naughty thought - maybe include a happy pic of you all as a family on the last page to make him feel guilty?? ;)

I like the photo idea, it cannot be misconstrued and as he has left you and the kids photos of the them will be more precious.

I do think he is a total **** but thats another story ;)

i'd go with your gut feeling and not get him anything. why is you buying him a christmas present 'for the sake of the children'? when they're old enough they can make or buy him something, it's not up to you to spend a penny on him. don't bother, he's not worth the effort.

[ummmm]

I'd get him sod all..!!

I'm very much in the 'give him naff all' camp. But love the idea of a photo, nice little guilt trip to unwrap on Christmas day!

[cazzz1975]

oh yes, bugger all is a much better gift.

I'd get him nothing until the children are old enough to choose something themselves.

A lead pellet behind the ear? ;) Seriously though, get him nothing. When the kids are older they can get him gifts if they want, but you owe him nothing.

I' firmly in the bugger all camp as well, as been said hen the kids are old enough then they can make something. If it's really about how he'll feels then perhaps your sister can pony up, he's her responsibility now.

bottle of arsenic? Seriously, nothing, nada, zip, niente! The children are too young to understand, and he doesn't deserve them, the pair of them are so low they could walk beneath a snake's belly on stilts! Time to focus opn yourself and your little ones

[whiskeryron]

How about going to a joke shop & buying a large imitation dog turd which you can wrap in lovely Christmas paper ?
