What is the BIG gift this Christmas?

What is your preschooler's biggest gift(s) going to be this Christmas?

Last year we gave DD a play kitchen, so that was definitely the biggest (price and size too).  I'm not sure about this year though.  We were going to get her a nice leapster or something like it, but DH got an iPad through work and the preschool apps he put on it are awesome, so we can't see getting the leapster type item.  We have a lot of smaller stuff though.

Re: What is the BIG gift this Christmas?

  • Playmobil hospital

    This will be the first year that her big gift isn't huge size-wise (she already has a kitchen, playhouse, easel, wagon). So now we're down to smaller but more expensive items.

  • DD is getting a doll care center

    DS is getting a guitar, and a train table that my dad made for my cousins years ago that is now being passed down (though that is costing us nothing)

  • DD:  dollhouse
    DS:  Little People airport
    For both, though DD will get more use out of it for now, an art easel.

  • When asked what he wants from Santa, DS only says "a monorail" (he is a train fanatic and this is a holdover from a trip to WDW last year). I found a great toy monorail set from Disney -  a little pricey but we had to get it. I hate getting him more trains since he already has so many, but he will be so freaking excited over this thing.

  • DD's big gift will either be a kitchen set or a motorized vehicle.  FYI: not sure if your daughter likes to help clean up the way my daughter does (sometimes) but there's a really cool Dyson vacuum for children that actually works.  We plan on getting this for her as well.  
  • donno, last year she got a kitchen from my parents and a playhouse (tent type) from us...

    next year the girls will get a refurbished doll house that my dad built me and my sisters. The thing is huge and sturdy but he um, lacked in the interior decorating department. It is just a plywood box. I'm so excited to do it! I was going to do it this year, but i don't think dd1 is really ready for it, and i want it to be for both girls.

    that leaves me with few ideas

    dd is getting the go go walking pup and the makeup doll head

  • Eva is getting an easel as her big gift.  She got a play kitchen last year too!

  • DD got a kitchen last year and this year she has been saying "Santa is going to bring me the Dora doll house" It is not what we planned to get, she say it at toys r us and went nuts.  DH and i don;t think it is great btu she has not stopped talking abotu it for weeks.  she will probably only get that and some other small things.  My parents are getting her the leapster explorer.  They called dibs on it first:) I know she will love it.

  • I don't know yet, but possibly the Leapster Explorer.
  • DD is getting a doll house(Fisher Price Loving Family).

    I wanted to get DS the Leapster but DH isn't sold on the idea...thinks he is too young for it so we will see.

  • His big gift from us is a Leapster Explorer.

    His gift from my mom and grandmother is a Wii.  Well, okay, this is really for all three of us!  lol.

  • Call us crazy, but DD is getting a iPad from the entire family. I'm sure we'll use it on occasion too, but it will be hers (I'm jealous). We looked at some of the electronics actually geared towards toddlers and kids but felt they were too limited for her- either too old or having to spend $$ on licensed games, etc.

    We just have to make sure we get a good case for it!

  • Doll House

    (seems like a popular gift this year)

  • I'm not sure yet. I think maybe a dollhouse? I wish her birthday didn't fall so close to Christmas - she's getting a Baby All Gone for her birthday in a week.

  • We are building him a train/activity table.   I got the plans from Knock Off Wood.    

    But my dad's gift is going to blow ours out of the water....DS loves tractors so he's getting him a John Deere battery powered one.    I asked him to wait until his birthday in March so he could use it outside then but I have a feeling dad isn't going to listen to me.

  • We are getting DS a play kitchen and my dad's making him a train table for his Thomas set.  Last year we had a lot of smaller gifts that we put in a play tent and that was a big hit too.
