What are you getting your LO for Christmas?

GigiFairy

And what is their favorite toy?

I'm looking for ideas. I have to shop early this year since I'm due with my 2nd in December. Thanks!

DD's favorite toys are her little ELC fairy people play sets, her Bitty Baby, books, and art stuff.

DS is into any kind of vehicles, playing imaginary stuff w/ his sister, and stuffed animals. 

I'm also due in Dec (w/ #3) plus we do St. Nick here on Dec. 5/6 and we have DS's b-day Dec. 10, and DD's in January, so I think I am over-shopping! Haven't decided what is from Santa vs. from us. 

St. Nick will bring each child an apple, orange, candy cane, Christmas chocolates, a Christmas book, Christmas PJs, stickers (DD loves them), and I think some new markers/crayons/coloring stuff. Maybe some other little fun toy item for each. He is also bringing a nice Christmas lullabies CD for DS and/or DD or both. 

So far, for DD (who is almost 4--correlates to your LO's age) I have:

--1 Carter's outfit

--1 set winter PJs

--Cute stuffed animal--ballet lamb w/ tutu

--Doll clothes that fit both Bitty Baby and PBK doll

--underwear and t-shirts (whoo-hoo!) 

I also have cupcake PJs, a cupcake tote bag and hair clip, but I think I will save those for her January Bday. 

I am thinking of getting an Anywhere Chair but not sure.

Here are some of the gender-neutral other items on her list, that I may buy or ask family to consider:

-Games (I researched these--hope it helps!)

• Busytown Game (I will probably get this)
• Zingo
• Curious George Beach Game
• Cranium Hullabaloo
• Uno Moo        

-Target ?B? brand medical kit 

-Bath letters/numbers that stick on the bathtub wall (likes trying to spell)

-Cute lunch bag and cooler packs for "lunch bunch" days at pre-school (she would like that)

-Nice hardcover books  

-Snow Boots--might just buy those before Christmas so she can use them

-Ornament--I am also doing the thing where each year I buy each child a special Christmas tree ornament that reflects something that we did that year or that they really liked that year.

DD will need a bike & helmet this year, but I  am just going to wait until spring. No point in giving her that now in Wisconsin.

The big gift that she is getting from us will be a homemade grocery store. I am having everyone saving containers and boxes from food and household products, I am also buying fake plastic fruit and veggies from the craft store to go in the produce aisle and then I am going to make shelf down in the basement to hold everything.

A real drum set.  DS doesn't really have favorite toy.  He likes to use his imagination a lot.
