This was a question on the preschool board and I was interested to see what everyone is getting for the older kids.
My boys are getting new bedroom furniture (they share a room).
DS#1 is really into Legos, so I'll get him a couple sets and some new books. That's all I have on my list so far.
Re: What are you getting DC for the holidays?
Just some ideas...
Books
Lap Desk
Clothes
Dollhouse Furniture
DD wants an I-pod touch, but we have to look at this carefully. We're not sure why she's asking for it and what she thinks she's going to do with it. She's not that into music. We don't really have a problem with the whole idea, but we don't want to get it for her if it's just something she has heard about at school and thinks is cool.
Each of my kids has a different Wii game on the list. DD just got her ears pierced, so I'm sure we'll get her some earrings.
Both kids really like Legos and Playmobil, so we'll probably be getting them each a set they want.
My DD wants (AKA has been nonstop begging) for this ....
It's the American Girl Doll camper. But's about all of what we budget for her, so we'll see. Other than that, we follow this "rule": Something you want (the camper), something you need (some more movies so she has them for longer car rides), something to wear (clothes!), and something to read (some books in Spanish). It really helps ME keep the gifts in control!!
