NPR: Need Christmas gift ideas

I am having a terrible time with gift ideas this year.  I really want to stay away from buying clothes.  I am just stumped for everyone, parent, in-laws and DH. 

 I am even even stumped for DD who is 2.  It seems that she is too big for baby toys and too little for 3 year old toys.

If you have any ideas, please share.  Any and all ideas will be greatly appreciated. 

TIA!

  • We usually try to get gifts for the home.  I did just buy my MIL a Vera Bradley purse.....if you know of someone who likes them, they're having a 60% off sale right now, so you can get a nice purse for dirt cheap.

  • For family I am going to have DS paint some small canvases or do other art projects. We are also getting a web cam for my MIL so she can "see" DS more often, and I am gettinga  bunch of books for my dad and step-mom (they are retired and go through a ton of books). We will probably give photo calenders, as well, since everyone liked them a lot last year.

    For DH I got him a Wii, plus a bunch of accessorries, etc. In his stocking I am going to put some small cooking things, and a DVD or something.

    DS is getting a play kitchen, shopping cart, art supplies, and a few little people sets from us. Grandparents I think are getting him some Aquadoodle mats, a play tent,and  the Little Tykes basketball set. We may also get him a sled.

  • I always get DC toys they can grow into for the next year.  So it's ok if they are a little more advanced than when they get them.

    DS is 2 and our ideas are: Toy cars/trains/emergency or farm vehicles; musical instruments (maracas, tambourine, drums); Game Hungry Hungry Hippos; Play kitchen and wooden food, Wood tool table and set; Books; Art supplies.

    What about doll things for her?  Stroller, sling, bed, clothes, etc?

    Have you checked out etsy.com?  They have a ton of ideas for gifts and I love the fact they are unique b/c they're handmade.  I am getting my sister some soap fomr there, my parents a picture to go on their "state" wall and a photobook of the kids.  Other people I'll make baskets with cookies, ornaments with the kids handprints on them, photobook of our family, calendar, etc.
