Mines only 1 year old so at the minute it’s just building toys

Especially if it’s a console they will want to play Fortnite on lol

We always spend boxing day and the day after setting things up before we lose them to technology. It's nice to have that day as family time

Mine only getting games as they bought their own consoles saving up pocket money but it's part of the spirit to play something else whilst I set things up.

I used to do the same - but teen has a new iPad - and I think it will show on her devices if I sign in and update it as her
I just checked the contents - and she will have to wait for slow updates Christmas Day

My son will want it sealed in the box but that’s a great idea

 

[beckylynn]

My dad always did that, set it up ready, as kids it's great, as teens an adults we live to do it ourselves

 

[momto3boys]

I keep mine boxed they will play with there other things while the updates and setting up is happening

 

[fearlessfreep]

@momto3boys same here.. a bit shocked at the urgency?? Surely they can wait a couple of hours and enjoy other things

We’ve always set it up before we’ve wrapped it. Set it up, back in box, wrap, then can just plug in and go x

Biggest mistake ever was not doing this with my son’s gaming PC. It turned out to be faulty. There were lots of tears that year

I've spent 2 hours sorting out my daughters new laptop and downloading mincecraft and stuff. Now it's on charge cause it was dead. Would have been fuming i had to do that on Christmas morning
