christmas gifts

what are you getting your LO? We have so many toys, I'm dreading adding more! I'm nervous to ask for clothes/buy clothes because I don't know what size/season he will be in.
What are some ideas you guys have?

Re: christmas gifts
I got her a vtech laptop, a play kitchen, a mickey mouse book set, a doll & stroller set, and a little people princess dollhouse + little princess set.
... so far, and it's only November! Ugh.
I feel like I have a problem, I'm sure I'll probably order more sh.t. Idk what is wrong with me!
As far as clothes for gifts I always tell people a size up.

And dang girl, you have gotten an early start on shopping! I have done zero shopping so far. I'm starting tomorrow (hopefully)!
I know she will get all the gadgety, noisy, techy, plasticy stuff from everyone else (whih is fine) so we're going simple with her.
I already bought:
a) a bunch of Melissa and Doug puzzles
b) A Melissa and Doug bead maze thing. I already pulled it out (she really does need some new toys) and she loves it.
c) art supplies
d) a spin toothbrush (she's obsessed with mine)
e) Kohls has an awesome 45 piece Mr. Potato Head set. I'm stoked for that
f) H wanted her to have a marble maze thing they can do together
g) a couple books, small cars and tractors.
i) various block sets. She loves blocks.
It seems like a lot when I list it, but it isn't really.
So far Dylan has a xylophone hidden away for Christmas.
I was think of the PBK anywhere chair as well but I have no room in my living room for it so it would be a chair for his room. I feel bad getting him the chair for that reason- lol.
Im also getting chunky Melisssa and Doug puzzles for him and sound books.
Thats all I can think of so far. I don't want to get too many toys and have him not play with them.
which play kitchen did you get? We have a kid craft one as well and it's stood up to all sorts of abuse. Love it!
awesome! We have the uptown espresso one. I'm sure they're made the exact same way. They're amazing kitchens and DH said it was pretty easy to build.
You guys are not helping me with ideas. MY kids have basically everything mentioned or a slight variation of it. lol This is so tough.
I'm trying to find reasonably priced climbing blocks for him though.
hahaha. That's my problem. Having 2 boys at Christmas time is hard cuz DS 1 already got the things that Dylan likes .
Exactly! If I had 1 of each it would be a bit easier!
We are getting DS a Tabeo (it's like an ipad but for kids). I've read good reviews and he just LOVES DH's iPad.. They have great educational apps... he's gonna be so excited haha
Not sure what else to get him as like op said, he has so many toys as it is (mostly from his 1st birthday!). I'm gonna get him a Big Brother book but haven't really decided on what else. I know he will enjoy opening anything so I may wrap some socks and silly stuff like that
He's too young to be disappointed in socks

Lena is getting a play kitchen too (https://www.amazon.com/Kidkraft-Vintage-Kitchen-in-Pink/dp/B0038ANS8U/)
I may get her the little trailer that goes with her Cozy Coupe, but I may wait for her birthday, not completely sure. I got her some clothes, some books, socks, etc. and the following:

https://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-My-Talking-LapPup-Scout/dp/B00804BCK0/
https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Snoopy-Colors/dp/B000BB56B6/
There are also some accessories for the kitchen on her wishlist, and a few musical toys.
We did get him a big radio flyer wagon with a canopy and fold down seats and all that for his bday. We take it everywhere!!! But if you live in a cold climate that would be a depressing Christmas gift since you couldn't use it until spring!
I think the stacking rainbow someone posted a few days ago is cool, I'll try to find that somewhere. Maybe a fridge toy (I saw a leapfrog phonics one) and a few other little things.
