Very helpful Michelle! With our eldest turning 10 a couple of weeks ago she’s getting into that tricky age now (let’s pretend I actually get involved with present buying) where she will probably want more expensive things. So it’s good to keep some stocking fillers in mind!
Thanks Tom. I’m so glad you found it helpful!
