It’s that time of year
again. As we welcome Spring and enjoy the beauty and life that it
brings with it along with upcoming Easter, my first born's birthday
is fast approaching.
My beautiful boy who I
remember as a little newborn as if it was yesterday, is going to be yet another year older!
He is growing up as a
fun, caring, clever boy that the whole family loves and adores.
As his big birthday is
imminent my thoughts of the past few weeks have been on what to get
him for his birthday along with where to go for a special birthday
day out. Now that he is that much older he has strong views on what
he likes and wants, and has helped me out with a list of gift ideas
with plenty of options so that he gets a surprise of what we get him
from the list.
Hasbro Mashers
He has been collecting Hasbro Mashers for a few years now and has a rather impressive collection.
In spite of an extensive collection of Mashers figures and
accessories he still wants more! Being a huge fan of superheroes it
is no surprise that top of his list are the Marvel Super Hero
Mashers. He can’t get enough of the super heroes and villains to
mash up to create crazy creations.
Also as he has all of
the Micro Mashers from series 1 (except 3 elusive sets) he is
desperate to get his hands on Marvel Super Hero Micro Mashers series 2 figures.
Lego
Another staple, much
loved toy that always ends up on birthday lists is Lego. As he loves
all Lego any would be welcomed with a big joyous grin on his face.
With the new season of the tv show LEGO Ninjago starting in April and
the LEGO Ninjago Movie premiering later on this year, he as asked for
a Lego Ninjago set. I know either the Destiny’s Shadow or Samurai
VXL set would get a big thumbs up from the birthday boy.
Skateboard
Having mastered the
scooter he wants to try skateboarding so has asked for a skateboard.
If we do decide to get one for him I thought it would make an extra
special gift if we got a shiny new helmet and protection pads to keep
him safe.
Nintendo 3DS/DS Games
As he only has a couple
of games for this beloved Nintendo 3DS XL he has asked if he could
have another 1 or 2. A few of the games that he has added to his
birthday wish list to give us plenty of choice are - Pokemon Moon (or
any Pokemon to be fair as he is desperate for a Pokemon game he can
play himself) and Mario Maker (he has wanted to make his own Mario
levels ever since he watched Stampy do his Mario Maker videos on
YouTube).
Also as he is a HUGE (I
mean HUGE!!) fan of Yo-Kai Watch - he has the first Yo-Kai Watch 3DS
game, has the Yo-Kai Watch toys including watch and medallium filled with medals, as well as
figures and plush toys - he is desperate for the new Yo-Kai Watch 2
3DS games.
Superhero costume
Whilst his collection of
superhero costumes is already vast as there are more heroes out there
that he wants to be so that he can go and save the day he has asked
for a new costume. Top of his list of heroes he wants are superman,
hulk, optimus prime, and bumblebee.
Transformer toys
He idolises the
transformers with Bumblebee being his favourite transformer. As such
he has asked for a few new PlaySkool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots
toys from Hasbro.
Special family days out
for the birthday boy
Apart from a small party
with close family this year we have decided against a big birthday
party with a large group of friends from school. Instead we have
decided on celebrating his birthday with a few special days out and
treats.
Cinema
As there are a few films
out or soon to be that he wants to watch he is going to have a
special lads night out to watch a movie at the cinema with his dad.
Top choices for movie time are Power Rangers, The Boss Baby or Lego
Batman Movie.
Disney On Ice
Since the time we went
to watch Ice Age Live he has asked to go to another live ice skating
show. With Disney On Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic coming to
Cardiff in April we thought the sensational skating spectacular would
be an amazing birthday treat that would really make his birthday
magical and memorable.
Water park
As he is a little fish
and loves nothing more than swimming, diving and splishing around in
the water he wants to go to a fun water park with slides and pools.
Luckily we have one, Blue Lagoon Wales, within a matter of minutes
away in the car from our home where he can slip and slide down water
slides for a mad, water-tastic few hours.
Theme Park
Having got the
thrillseeking bug last year when he went on his first proper ‘big’
rollercoaster he is eager to get back in a rollercoaster seat to
whizz around for a thrilling ride. With Oakwood on our doorstep he is
hoping to get to ride a coaster or ten to celebrate his birthday in
style.
I can’t wait to celebrate my first born’s birthday and see his face when he opens his presents which will contain a few of the above gift ideas and enjoy a couple of special days out. Even though I can’t wait there is a little part of me that wants to freeze time and keep him from growing up because these past 6 years have gone way too fast!
