My mom and MIL keep asking for Christmas gift ideas and I'm struggling to come up with stuff.

What's on your kids wish list? How old are they?
What's on your wish list?
What's on DH's wish list?

Annabelle is a year and a half. We are getting her kitchen stuff (kitchen, play food, pots/pans, etc.), a shopping cart, and some little accessories for her dolls (baby carrier, stroller, and crib). I think someone asked if they could get her a play house.

DD will probably get a nice play baby stroller. I've been looking for one for a while, but can't find one I like. Beyond that, probably a lot of Dora stuff. She loves Dora like woah.

I want an A&A dream blanket, a cassette player that you can put in your car and play your iPod (my old fm transmitter doesn't work for my 5c ( ), a chroma keyboard (totally not needed yet so awesome), a new north face jacket.

DH just got hyrule warriors and destiny for games so he honestly has zero things he wants right now I know borderlands is coming out with an expansion pack so we'll be getting that to play together. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. Maybe a razor mouse like the one I just got? I don't know if he'd even want that though so we'll see.

We're going on vacation in November, so that will probably be DH and I's gift. We don't really buy for each other anyway.

DS will be almost 2, and as of rigt now he'll be getting train-related stuff. I'm not sure what else yet...

Ahh I'm not ready to think about it.  

HeatherS2010

DS1 (3 years old) is getting snow toys, cars, and Legos
DS2 (15 m) probably books and stuffed animal friends
DH- either a tattoo or clothes since he will probably put off getting work clothes and get a tattoo instead. Sigh.
Me- cookbook, $ for my kindle, clothes, a bread machine
We are trying to be a little more low key on Christmas this year. Everyone had so much stuff last year.

I think we might get the kids a trampoline. They are 4 & 1.5. They both love our friends.
We needed a new fridge so my in-laws gave us $$ early for our fridge. They always give us cash as a gift.

DS - Disney Fire and Rescue planes, books, fire and rescue hoodie/tee etc, chuggington trains, Toy story mini figures DH- blu ray/ DVD player, surround sound system, clothes Me- anything baby related item

What's on your kids wish list? How old are they?
I just started thinking about this...

DD (almost 5): DD has only asked for an Aurora doll.  Otherwise, I thought about getting her some more board games - I was thinking Chutes and Ladders and I don't know what else.  I need to research good games.

DS (almost 3): Hasn't asked for anything yet.  I was thinking walkie talkies, Magformers, and a 12 inch bike (we may wait for Easter for this).
 
What's on your wish list?
Perfume and new running shoes.  That is all I got so far.

What's on DH's wish list?
Nada - he never has a list. If he wants it, he buys it.

HBirdie

We'll get Caleb books (always books!), but I don't know what else. He's probably still too young for a balance bike...

DH always comes up with interesting ideas. Last year he wanted all the stuff to brew and bottle his own root beer and a cheesemaking kit. So who knows what he'll ask for.

For me... I always want board games. Maybe running gear and craft supplies? I don't know.

DD wants a laptop. DS won't be getting anything bc his sister is the whole Christmas budget. #kiddingnotkidding I want a laptop to fall out of the sky and also to go sailing in the BVIs. DH got his Christmas present for Valentine's last year.

sunnydays99

DS has been asking for a telescope for months, so that will be his Santa gift. Last year I bought a kidkraft dollhouse on sale so I think that will be DD's Santa gift unless she starts asking for something specific.

rosesandpetals

DD is getting a nice dollhouse and some little stuff. One of the train sets from Ikea. Play food. Paints. A unicorn toy that purrs. Just little stuff since the dollhouse is so expensive.

Her birthday is in January and I am thinking about getting her the pottery barn kitchen set but I also really want to get her a swing set in the spring and 3 really big items like that just seem like too much. So I might go easy for her birthday. We'll see, I guess.

fancefpp

Probably lots and lots of books because I'm so sick of reading Froggy Bakes a Cake and Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type.

jnksmom

DD is 6. She has asked for a gymnastics mat, Lego friends, and American Girl accessories.
DS is 7 and has asked for Legos and science kits.
They will both get art supplies and books as well.

Emily 8yr wants another Pokemon deck (she plays every weekend in a local game shop with her dad), a Dough Vinci paint-your-own vanity, a desk in her room, a "How to Draw Birds" book, and a Peacock dress-up outfit.

Nolan 3yr wants a Batman Imaginext play set, Thomas "trackmaster" trains/crane pieces to add to his collection, and a bike!

What's on your wish list?
A Vitamix, some new dishtowels, new jellyboard cutting boards, a Fitbit, a day at the spa

What's on DH's wish list?
The new PS4

JMC11511

DS will be three in November. We will probably do Cars stuff since that is what he is into. We have purchased stuff through the year so I need to take inventory of what we have.

I want GC for clothes. I also want a new Kindle.

I don't know what DH wants.

DD6 wants some Goldie box sets, Lego, a new American girl doll and this design sketchbook. What's on your wish list?
Tori Birch boots, they are expensive so just those and I would be thrilled! What's on DH's wish list?

Ps4 or the newer xbox.

I need to get this wrapped up because of the baby. But, I have no idea what I am getting anyone. DD (3) wants a Barbie Dreamhouse which makes me die a little on the inside. DS is 6 an

Louie4real

Me: A new electric blanket.

DS1: Really wants a bow/arrow set. Yikes. (he's 5)

DS2: Wants whatever DS1 wants. Double yikes. (he's 4)

DD: loves her babies, so maybe some baby gear/new dolls (she's 2)

raraavis28

All I know for sure is that I want to get the boys train stuff...either a table or just tracks to set up all around the basement. They'll be turning 2 at Christmastime....so I also have bday stuff to think about but I have one plan already so that's huge for me. :P

As for me....clothes and shoes.... I need to update my wardrobe like crazy.

DH....always a tough one to buy for.....

Probably board games. Some dollar store frozen items. Seriously not sure on anything. (We do Hanukkah and Christmas). We are going to Disney a week before Hanukkah starts, so we are trying to do a low-key holiday here.

We celebrate both too. We usually have a Hanukkah party and do a few gifts and then Christmas. Well this year my moms coming and is insisting on 8 gifts to be opened nightly. DD seriously doesn't need anything. It's like present overload.

Edit to add: my mom will be bringing all the gifts and has promised them to be small

We have yet to really buy Christmas presents for the kids because they get plenty from family. They'll be going on 4 and 2.5 this Christmas, so that may change soon. The only thing I'd really like to get them is a swingset for the backyard, but that might be a little too big.

DH will be getting court costs, fines & legal fees for the speeding ticket he got last weekend - yay! (Grrrrr)

ariel06

We're doing Disney in January, so I'm going smaller on gifts. The boys will probably get legos since that's all they play with these days.

I have no idea. Every year they tire of their gifts in a few days. I obviously am a bad shopper.

Same here. I suck at gifts
