I was always the one who left everything to the last minute....and that's when I had a lot more to do. The last couple of years I have started early, made Christmas cards, bought close family pressies (except for OH, he is horrendous to buy for, ideas would be welcome) but so far, I am feeling very pleased with myself.

Absolutely not.
But I was at my female friends house and saw this cool water filter thingy that my kids might like. 🤷

Maybe something a little different you could both enjoy - a hot air balloon ride, with some champagne (or beers?) on ice?
That’s assuming neither of you have vertigo of course!

Your family is growing...fast, I suggest you start thinking about pressies soon.
In a few years it gets easier, all they want is money.

Lol...I prefer going down rather than up.
I like scuba diving and snorkelling, and obviously Kayaking....though we sold them a couple of years ago.
I remember when I had a pic of me kayaking, you commented that everytime you looked at it you wished it had tipped up.

Gawd, all that foolishness seems like a lifetime time ago.

See, that’s something I could never do. Mostly cos the one & ONLY time I tried to water ski, a rogue wave came right at me and flipped me (twice) over like a pancake. Scary as fuk, and I never got over it. Swimming and some leisurely snorkelling are about my limit.
Back to Xmas shopping. I’m normally about done by now, but this year I haven’t even started yet
