Christmas Post- Presents!

What presents are you getting for your LO?

 

 

I finished shopping in September. LO is getting the following:

The Magica Rattle

Munchkin Sea and Learn Bath Shapes

Melissa and Doug 60 Piece Wooden Block Set 

Green Sprouts Stacking Cups

Melissa and Doug Shape Sorting Cube

Fisher Price Infant to Toddler Swing

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Love to Play Puppy

Green Toys my First Stacker

A Robot Blanket and Matching Robot lovie that I made for him. =)

 

My mom is setting up a savings account for him and putting a few hundred dollars in it. MIL bought him a ton of clothes and a Sophie gift set (the teether and the stuffed one). He already has a sophie but he loves it so much I told her having another one was probably a good idea. haha! The rest of the family will be giving him clothes for the most part. We requested clothes rather than toys because we don't have very much for him to wear past the 6 month stage, and because we don't have the space for too much stuff. WE wanted to get him the toys we wanted him to have, and we managed to get it all for under $120!

    $17!! I saw it and had to get it. LO LOVES to swing so I figured $17 is worth the money even if we only use it once a week. We have a huge deck with a cover to attach it to. Its probably the gift I'm most excited about. haha

     

    ETA: When I bought it on amazon it was down to $17! Its back up to $25 now. =(

  • Wow, you really went all out!

    Maybe I should feel guilty but I'm not getting anything for LO. He gets new things all the time since he's always growing out of his clothes, or whenever I see a cute toy at the consignment store, so I don't feel the need to spend a bunch of money on things that he'll never remember anyways.

    Also, since we live 12-14 hours from ALL our family, I know he's going to get a butt load of presents from them.

  • We're not really getting much for DS since he will only be 6 months and won't remember it. I know family will be getting toys and other things though so I'm not really worried about it. I figure he will be more interested in the wrapping paper than anything!

  • We got DS:

    -A Play yard....it has 2 stages....one where it's enclosed completely so he can sit in it without falling over and when he can sit on his own it expands out. It's really cute and even has a mini slide on it!

    -A push toy....I forget the name of it but it's the fisher price one that has a long handle and a dome at the end with little balls inside that pop when you push it.

    -A play phone

    -Stackable learning bowls/cups from Tuppaware

    -A glow worm....still have to buy this.

    That is all we are getting him because I know other people are going to spoil him too lol. The in laws already bought him a little red wagon for xmas and they said they aren't done yet ;)
  • We are getting DD toys and books because our families are getting stuff for us that we realy need on a daily basis for DD like formula, blender (for baby food), soap for cloth diapers, wipes and so on since I stay at home and we are on one paycheck. They came up with this idea all on their own and DH and I are so happy and touched by it. We usually get toys at the consignment shops and will probably get 6 month toys since we don't have any of those yet.

    4.Laugh and learn puppy piano

    I'll probably get her some bath toys for her stocking too....

  • 1. Bath crayons... so fun!

    2. Baby Bubble Bath

    3. ABC photo book I made for him 

    4. Bath toys

    Our budget was $100 and the photobook was $50, so we will get him a few small things. Our family members went crazy so I know he will have tons and tons of gifts. 

  • She doesn't need much at this age, so I got her stuff for later. So far I have 3 pairs of shoes, a few outfits, and a soft book. I'd like to get her a convertible carseat if I can snag a deal.

    That's nice. My aunts basically chewed me up when I suggested they buy DD things for feeding time (bowls, spoons, etc.). They said they want to buy things for HER, not for ME. LOL Oh well, no big deal, I'm sure DD will enjoy more toys. We don't have a lot right now anyway.

     

    You mean she thinks that you are going to eat out of the bowls and use the spoons!?!? Hahaha sometimes people just don't think.

  • A Winnie the Pooh cloth photo album (yard sale find), one of ds' old toys and a few books for her stocking.  (The books we given to us for her when I was pregnant but I don't want ds to se that dd s stocking is empty).  We didn't get anything for ds his first Christmas so to the other two pp don't feel bad.
