Christmas presents

What have you gotten so far for LO?

What are you getting?

I was going to try and not go overboard, since DS won't remember what he's getting.  Somehow, I always go crazy.  I went on black Friday and got:

FP little people animal sounds zoo, FP wheelies car ramps, leap frog lap top, mickey mouse that plays the "hot dog dance", mega blocks, puzzle, book. That's it so far.  I wanted to get a kitchen, but DH says its too "girly".  Boo!

Re: Christmas presents

  • He's getting a kidcraft vintage kitchen, a baby bed and doll (probably), food for the kitchen, some books and puzzles, some pots and pans and dishes for the kitchen, some puffs for his stocking, an electric toothbrush, and probably the little people farm. 

    We may also get him a slide for his play room and a rocking moose from Ikea, but those are more because we'll be cooped up inside all winter, not nec. for x-mas.

  • A bunch of Melissa and Doug Puzzles

     Mr. Potato head

    Art supplies (bingo stampers and a bunch of  Color Wonder stuff..she loves the paint)

    A cow that shoots balls (It was $4.00 at the gift shop today and she brought it to me. She was a good girl and it looked fun so I bought it to hide for later).

    A marble run (she's a bit young but H will love it too, so I figured it was something they could do together).

    A set of wood blocks

    A spinny toothbrush (She's obsessed with mine)

    I want to get her some matchbox cars and tractors for her stockings yet. She also needs an ornament for the collection.

     

    It seems like a lot but she doesn't have many inside toys and the other stuff is all cheap little stuff..so NBD.

    I also got her some clothes on black Friday but she'll be wearing those throughout the holiday so she gets them now. The child literally has 3 pairs of socks to her name.

    My MIL is getting her a play piano. My Mom got her Little People Nativity and  Kohl's train set.

     

  • After looking at different kitchens I think we decided on the kidkraft vintage so that's one on the list.
    We've gotten her lots the last couple of weeks and I've already given them to her, 8 pairs of baby legs, 2 handmade beanies, a baby with stroller, a grocery cart, and from her aunt 24 piece play dough set.
    And I just ordered a y pad. I also want to add some puzzles, abc playmat, and some new clothes. I saw a baby and nursery set that is so cute so I want to add that too. And perhaps a book shelf. Although that's not much of a toy.
    Shopping for the kiddos is so fun!!

  • DH also thinks getting a kitchen is stupid and too girly but I don't care I'm either getting it or my sister is I think I'm getting the Melissa and Doug's kitchen, wooden food, I already bought about 3 sets of wooden puzzles, easel, a PB chair with his name on it, leap pad 2, and mega blocks.

  • I'm done shopping for her--hooray! She is getting a table and chairs, a magna doodle, a toolbox with tools, a couple movies, and two outfits. Plus, odds and ends in her stocking.

  • We are about finished as well.  She's getting a PBK Anywhere Chair from Santa (between a 15% coupon, free shipping b/c I bought it in the store, and a GC I won at work...it ended up being only $40!), a small stuffed Grover doll, M&D pots/pans set, and some wooden food.  (She already has a kitchen.)  We have been picking up some FP Little People for her stocking.  I also wanted to get her washable markers but DH said NO!  So far, all that is $75.  I don't want to spend more than $100.

    I was going to get her Christmas PJs but we have some hand-me-downs that are cute so she'll just wear those.  Red with reindeer on them!

    why?

    For Nick.  Soft climbing blocks, LP Pirate ship, M&D stacking train, the boys will share the Hes Truck they get every year, if I can get a good deal on waffle blocks they will share those too. I want to pick up a few more things for Nick to open.

    For Timmy don't ask. I've gotten him A LOT more

  • I'm going to try and work on DH to get a kitchen for Andrew. I think its a good idea!  Has anyone seen the barbeque sets? He was willing to OK that.  Men. Ugh!

    I got DH to ok one because I found one that didn't look girly and he finally realized how much Aidan loves kitchens. I took DH and Aidan to our local book store who sells Kidcraft Kitchens and has them set up to play with. Men can be so stubborn and annoying! The kitchen is the most played with toy in the house. Aidan makes me "burnt" apple pie every day ;)

  • KidKraft Kitchen with play food, pots, pans Fisher Price Little People Farm Fisher Price Little People Zoo with extra animals Fisher Price Wheelie Ramp some second-hand wooden puzzles (although those might not wait until Christmas) new ornament (tradition) maybe a few small extras and some stocking stuffers I might actually hold off on one of the Fisher Price toys until spring, but I got all three because they were such a good deal.

  • We got a toothbrush for his stocking, more CDs and a potty so we can start introducing that.

    I might get him Jr Asparagus toy to go with his other Veggietale characters but we're set for now.

     He won't remember what he gets and I'm sure his grandparents, aunts and uncles will spoil him so I'm not too worried.

  • I didn't get a ton for Lena this year because my parents bought her a ton of stuff, and she won't remember. I have some clothes to wrap up, and a couple books. I got her a little play laptop thing, and a music player (both from LeapFrog). I may still get one or two things but I am not going crazy this year. My parents bought her a kitchen, and my aunts and uncles and my brother will get her a bunch of stuff and so will my ILs, so it just doesn't seem necessary to spend a ton this year.
