A MOTHER has disclosed that she will be spending £15,000 on her toddler in the lead-up to Christmas.
Jodie Weston, recognized for her appearances on Channel 5’s Rich Kids Go Skint, Rich Holiday Poor Holiday, and BBC’s Eating with My Ex, is planning to give her child an extravagant gift every week starting now.

While many of us might consider spending £10 on a chocolate calendar as a special treat, that’s not sufficient for the 30-year-old mother’s young son.
Rather than opting for typical gifts, Jodie has chosen to indulge in luxurious items and toys leading up to Christmas Day.
This includes a £2,000 weekend at Centre Parcs this month—where they enjoyed activities like archery, water slides, and electric boating, along with an annual pass for dino soft play costing £450—which will be next week’s surprise.
Jodie believes her two-year-old son, Koa-Zayde, deserves the very best, regardless of the expense.
“I have started purchasing the £15,000 worth of gifts to distribute over a few months—what I call budget planning,” Jodie, who is a DJ and influencer, shared with NeedToKnow.
“It’s like a weekly advent calendar that starts from late October until Christmas Day.
“Some of the gifts are experiences and a pre-Christmas celebration, as I like to kick off the festivities from October onwards.
“We have just returned from our trip to Centre Parcs where we engaged in archery, built our own teddy bear, enjoyed water slides, went electric boating, constructed our own den, and participated in treasure hunting.
“In total, the week cost £2,000, including accommodation, activities, and meals out.
“I’ve also purchased an annual pass for dino soft play, which set me back £450 alone, and I will be giving it to him next week.”

In November, they are set to visit before meeting Santa himself in December.
Jodie mentioned: “I have arranged a trip to Legoland for Christmas in November, and we will be heading to Lapland in December to meet Father Christmas in person.
“There will be many more experiences along the way.
“I would love to extend the celebrations into January, as it is typically the dreariest time of the year when everyone feels down and gloomy—and reinvent Christmas celebrations to start 2026 on a high note.”
Is It Too Early for Christmas?
Some argue that it’s never too early for Christmas, and there are numerous reasons supporting this view.
For instance, decorating your home can elevate your mood by releasing dopamine, the feel-good hormone in your brain.
If you’re an early-bird shopper, stores offering Christmas items may assist you in preparing and help you manage costs over several months.
You can also hunt for bargains during various shopping events—such as end-of-summer sales or Black Friday.
One of the highlights of the festive season is indulging in delicious seasonal meals and treats—savoring your favorite drinks and refreshments.
This isn’t the first time Jodie has spent lavishly on her young son.
Earlier this year, she confessed to feeling “broke” after going on £30,000-a-year holidays and dealing with the pressures of the UK’s economic crisis.
She stated at that time: “I’ve had to get creative and think of ways to afford things.
“For example, I’ve created vlogs in exchange for treatments.
