Just spent about an hour wrapping presents for the kids and I feel horrible that not one was for Emma. We have 4 kids so we have everything that she could need or want. She doesn't need toys of clothes. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

We got her this... although this one is a better price than what we paid.
She liked tapping on the piano at my mom's and I figured she'd be able to get a few years out of it instead of just a few months.
We only got her some Dr.Seuss pjs that came on sale on Zulily (DH loves all things Seuss so they are really more for him). She's getting nothing else from us because we are spending the holidays with 3 sets of Granparents and her 7 aunts and uncles who are all going BSC buying her gifts from what I've heard on the phone from my sister. So she'll get enough "stuff" to last her.
We have a lot of basic toys from DS so DD is getting more personal things. We got her a My Pal Violet and she's getting some new blocks, bath toys, toothbrush, and hat in her stocking (along with some puffs or other appropriate treat). My mom is getting her a lovey and some headbands.
A xylophone, shape sorter, maracas, sensory balls, and building blocks. He really likes his piano so hopefully he'll enjoy this stuff.
If you have older kids, have them help and pick a toy that has been outgrown, that Emma will just be growing into. Wrap them up, and put under the tree. They don't need new things this young, it's more about the wrapping!
We got DD a swing from a garage sale, and a bike trailer, also from a garage sale. I washed them outside, and will put them under the tree like the other gifts. She is also getting some 9 month clothes that are hand me downs as well.
We are not getting LO much because 1. We have a ton of baby toys already and 2. MIL and my parents as well as my 5 siblings and DH's brother and other family members will spoil the kids enough with presents. 3. We don't have a ton of money if any at all to spend on presents for the kids this year with me not working and being in school full time. That being said we got DS a Melissa and Doug Soft tool box set and the Fisher Price Lil Zoomers lights and Sounds Speedway (both used off or craigslist since I could not find them new). We are also planning on getting him 1 more thing from the Disney Store and an ornament to start his collection.
DD we got her a Elmo memory game, made her an art box made of stuff from the dollar store and a doll crib/stroller set.
We're getting DD a little shopping cart. I figured she'll soon be walking since she's been crawling like crazy and pulling herself up all the time and this will act like a walker for her. We also got her a "Baby Belle" from beauty and the beast doll that will sit where the baby goes in the shopping cart. Also some building blocks, and a couple other toys.
