All kids want for Christmas is... to spend more time with mum and dad

Children have provided heart-warming proof that the most valuable commodity any parent can give their offspring this Christmas is time, rather than money.

With mums and dads across the country preparing to spend record amounts on toys, a national survey has revealed that the two gifts most children would like to give their parents are a ‘moneytree’ and super powers.

In an increasingly materialistic society, the survey by loyalty card Nectar tells an uplifting story of how much spending time with their family means more to children than the latest Star Wars spin-off or mobile phone.
