Re: What is your 2-3 year old getting for xmas?
Well, we decided to try to keep things from getting out of control and since they get so much from grandparents and aunts/uncles we are keeping it at 3 gifts per child plus stocking stuffers. I like how it also goes along with the 3 gifts from the 3 wisemen.
DD is 2 yr old and is getting the FP Loving Family Dollhouse and some furniture. In her stocking are some disney princess fruit snacks, a couple of coloring books and a disney princess notebook b/c she likes to have something to scribble on while we are grocery shopping.
Grandparents are getting furniture for her dollhouse, Melissa and Doug Magnetic dressup dolls, crafty things.
Her "big" gift is a barbie jeep (the ride on one). She is also getting playdough (her first set), several arts and crafts supplies, socks, panties, and a few other little toys.
Her "sentimental" gift (really more for me) is that my mom had saved all of my dolls as a child (cabbage patch kids) and gave them to me when I was pregnant with DD. I plan on setting them all up using some of the baby gear we got her (doll stroller, high chair etc) so that there are about 10 babies ready for her to play with when she wakes up that morning. I plan on letting her really choose her favorites and then putting the rest up for now, but I think she'll really enjoy them.
ETA: other ideas that are frequently used in our house are a magnadoodle and a small trampoline with a handle bar on it. Huge hits!
So far my 2-year-old is getting from us:
Cars 2 Blu-Ray
2 Thomas trains (Gordon and Molly)
Melissa & Doug upper and lowercase alphabet puzzle
Melissa & Doug numbers puzzle
Thomas puzzle
a Cars 2 figurine set
a Meet the Cars book
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
3 wheeled scooter
Electric racecar
Books

DS1 is 2y8m
Between us/Santa he's getting a bike/helmet, a golf set, a few books, and 2 DVDs.
In his stocking he's getting socks, candy, bath crayons, stickers, and a few matchbox cars. Plus a satsuma
My parents are giving him a bowling set and books, my sister is getting him the Lion King soundtrack, and H's sisters are getting him a Cars bubble blower, a toy helicopter and a baseball tee/bat/ball set.
From Santa:
a magnetic art easel
supplies for the easel (paper, paint cups, markers, chalk, etc.)

From Santa - Animator's Collection Ariel doll and Little Mermaid DVD
From Us - Tinkerbell placemat, cup, and silverware, outfit for her Baby Stella, Curious George board game, Hi-Ho Cherry-O, Melissa and Doug cupcake and slice and bake cookie sets, easel paper, large Tinkerbell coloring pad, paint, colored pencils, Pip-squeak markers, Princess 3 CD set, and I made her a quiet book.
Gifts I know from grandparents/aunts - fancy dress for Baby Stella, sleeping bag, kids cooking/baking stuff, Leap Frog Scribble and Write, Tangled soundtrack, clothes, pj's, Chutes & Ladders, Candy Land, puzzles, arts/crafts supplies, canopy for her wagon, and then the rest will be surprises.
I know it sounds like a lot, but I got awesome deals on the stuff for her and my MIL tends to go overboard. I really pushed the art supplies with everyone...she loves to do projects so I wanted to get enough stuff to last for awhile. Her birthday isn't until October, so I tend to put some things away and then get them out over the summer so she has "new" toys to play with.
My DS is getting the following from Santa (and Santa only):
(3) Mickey Mouse puzzles, Mr. Potato Head (Pirate Version), (3) Tag Junior books, a Tag Junior, and clothes.
We didn't have time to buy stocking this year....so no stocking stuffers.
Same for us....that is why I was posting when/where I got those things because I didn't pay full price for anything and was able to get more. For example, her easel was normally $49, but it went on sale, I had a coupon and a gift card so I only paid $17 total.
a Kitchen from us and smaller things from Santa: a jack in the box, spinning top, kaleidescope, puzzles, books, a wooden train... also a pair of underwear and stickers in her stocking.
her bday is 4 days after Xmas and she's getting a shopping cart and a couple more puzzles and her bday party at a little kid's gym.
