What are you getting your kids for Christmas?

I try to keep them fairly similar in what they get at this point. Both will get a set of pajamas on christmas eve and I think I will give them their blankets that I am making them as well.

Each will get a board game - hi ho cherry o and chutes and ladders. Shoot, somebody posted about a cool game before and I meant to make a note and forgot. maybe we did already do a christmas thread! Shoot!

Each will get a book or a few books. Not sure what.

Gavin is getting a buzz lightyear and woody is getting a woody doll.

Each will get a DVD (not sure which yet) and I am getting a walkie talkie set for them to share.

Odd and ends in the stocking with the DVD and that should be it.

My mom will still get them stuff and so will my sister. Actually my mom bought the pj's and toy story dolls but I don't want them to get too much.

Hannah's Santa gift is a disney princess tv and dvd player...

Other than that she's getting various barbies and lps sets, Zhu Zhu pet set, a large porcelin tea set, dvds (The new Tinkerbell movie, Hannah Montana, Up!, and the Princess and the Frog movie that comes out before Christmas.), and a ton of books that I stocked up on last month from Scholastic. They hooked me up well! I also stocked up on some Ponyville stuff in the clearance section of one of our stores. And I'm still trying to fix up a computer for her to use on her own. If I get that done, I bought a Hello Kitty Keyboard to go with it, and I'll set her up a little "learning center" with this there. She'll probably get a ds game or too, and her own controller with a pretty skin for Joe's ps3.

Hannah also wants a "very posh and fancy picture frame" for her bedroom, so we had our family pictures taken last week, and did a funny face shot iwth the 3 of us. If it comes out ok, I'll use that for her picture frame, whenever I find something divalicious enough.

She'll get PJs and her own ornament for the tree the night before.

Juni the games I remembered being mentioned were Don't Break the Ice and the Dr. Seuss Game I Can Do That! (E loves the Seuss game).

I have bought E some calico critters and Step2 has a Fairy Wonderland thing I bought.

Her big thing she keeps saying she wants is a purple dragon stuffed animal.

I am not sure what else she will get. It just depends on what I can find.

Yes, TJ Maxx, although I haven't seen them here in the last couple of weeks. I hope they get more in as we get closer to Christmas.

And the Snow White doll "wardrobe set" - like a barbie with 4 outfits.

I don't really know what we're getting the kids for Christmas, but I know that I DON'T want to get them a bunch of random toys they don't need and require a million batteries and will clutter my house. Just call me Scrooge. ;)

We just have too much crap all over this house, and now with baby toys to contend with, I just don't want more just to have more, kwim?

So Mason and I may be getting SeaWorld and/or Disneyland passes. Mason may be getting a bed. Definitely more books, though he has a million. Evie may be getting a bunch of Mason's old baby toys, LOL. We're thinking about making a family trip to Disneyland for Evie's 1st birthday, so I'd rather save our money for that anyway.

Koda: Buzz Light Year, Little Einstein racing car, Thomas the Tank train holder (looks like an oversized lunchbox), transformer, new underwear (Yes, I'm that mom that give underwear and socks), Color Wonders Toy Story, Bob the Builder planting set, Hi Ho Cheerios, Chutes and Ladders, Thomas collapsible bridge

Tristen: Buzz Lightyear, LE racing car, Thomas train holder, underwear!! (we will be potty training shortly thereafter dang it), Bob the Builder Plant set, Diego action figure, LE tub toy, Picture Word Game, Word World DVD X2, matchbox cars

I created an amazon list for my family, so probably wooden blocks, books, bristle blocks from them. My mom will give them a giftcard, and my brother will give them something from the dollar store ashamed

I'm sure there are some stocking stuffers already in my closet that I'm not htinking of. Of all the things above, I just need to buy 2 Buzz Lightyears and a transformer.

To be honest, and this probably makes me the meanest Mom, but we're not getting them much this year. With the move and all, we just won't have much room. And besides, my family (sister) is already going overboard on gifts for them. I've already picked up a new Wii game for Kyle, a couple of new Leapster games that they'll share, and I was thinking about getting Kevin a big magnadoodle or the "flashing" one (saw commercial last night). Other than that really, probably just some small stuff for their stockings.

MIne will get their usual pajamas on Xmas eve.

then ihni wth i'm getting any of them as far as gifts for xmas day...they only get 3 (4max) on xmas day so I don;t have to buy them lots, but i still just dont know what to get.

i'm a slacker mom this year...i havent even really given it much thought other than when daniel is watching tv and says "oh i need to have that! can you go to the store and buy me that? PUH-LEEEEEEEESE!!!"

When Mason does that, I tell him that maybe he'll get whatever it is for his 5th birthday, LOL.

He asked me for something he saw on TV the other day, and I told him that he couldn't have it because it had choking hazards. He said "But maybe I could play it while Nugget is napping. That could be a good idea."

When did they develop such logic????

Lucy · Senior Member

b will get a doll stroller since she is obsessed with that aisle in the store

for joe i don't really know he wants everything he sees but I know that he doesn't really play with toys, he usually just wants to mess about with my stuff. He will probably get stocking stuffers and then I am thinking of getting him a little piano keyboard and maybe tickets to see a show or ice hockey or something.

I am pretty much DONE with Lucas' christmas stuff. I still have to decide what is from us and what is going to be from Santa (except for one thing)

Imaginext Pirate Ship (prob from Santa)
Games for his Leapster
Toy Tools
Buzz & Woody action figures
Fireman hat for his dress up box
PJs

He says he REALLY wants a spider man costume, so I might see if I can snatch one up on clearance in a few days. I also will get him some books (his school has a scholastic book sale in a couple weeks) Also he is OBSESSED with Peter Pan and we just have it on VHS so I might get him this http://www.disneystore.com/disney/store/DSIProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=1237761&categoryId=13691&catalogFromSearch=10002&catalogId=10002&langId=-1

My MIL always asks what to get Lucas, so I'll tell her "Don't break the ice"
