I am sure you have all been in this position but DS has announced he wants something from Santa which I havent got :scared1:
He has been on about this for weeks but I thought he would forget about it :confused3
It is a set of colouring pens he has seen advertised on kids tv - you get a magic white pen and it can erase the coloured ones to make a pattern. Anyone know their name. I cant find anything on google :scared1:
Thanks guys

Crayola also do a set,but these are not the ones advertised on the tv.x.

Yes, i've seen the Crayola ones.
Jackie you could always fall back on one of my standard lines at Christmas - Santa won't bring everything on your wish list, but if you're a good boy or girl, you might get some of them ;) .
The only time I've been truly stuck was one Christmas, a couple of days before 25th, when my DD was visiting Santa in his grotto, and the only thing she told him she wanted was some paints - she'd never mentioned paints up until that point, and they certainly weren't on her letter to Santa! As she'd told the main man himself about them, I had to dash round the shops on 23rd to find some. Aren't kids a pain a Christmas lol ????

The thing is he hasnt asked for anything at all and we have struggled to get him anything - when he did ask for the pens I did the
cant promise what santa will bring because the advert said allow 28 days for deilvery.
Maybe look for the crayola ones in town - oh that would be woolies in our town :confused3
