What's on your LO's Christmas/holiday list? (or what do you plan to buy?)

LoveBug0516 · September 2013

My family is large so they start asking for lists earlier and earlier every year. I love getting suggestions from other people's lists. So far, I want to get my DD a Highlights Hello magazine subscription, a portable DVD player for the travel we do (though everyone says I should get an iPad mini instead), books, arts and crafts, and a doll baby. What's on your list for LO?

I want to get her a balance bike, a drum set and maybe some other musical things since she obviously loves music. Also craft stuff.... what SAHM couldn't use craft stuff (besides Amy#'s and Penguin... :x)
Good idea on the instruments. Maybe I will add something small (not so loud) to her list.

:P :P

DD has been asking for just about everything lately: a lab coat, a real science lab, a real rocket ship, a talking monkey, a real castle..... I am considering writing things down every time she asks for them, no matter how crazy, and giving that list to the grandparents.

DD'S realistic list so far: arts and crafts kits/supplies, board games, gymnastics lessons, Rapunzel doll.....

DS: no idea, maybe a car playmat because he is really into cars lately, swim lessons....

I've already grabbed a few things that were on sale for the baby and have a pretty good idea of what I want to get him (a Harley ride-on, duplo/mega bloks and Little People for sure), but other than that I'm sort of stumped.

I have some ideas for DS1, I know he wants a CD player like his sister, and he's been talking a lot lately about hex bugs and skylanders. I'll get them both a few CDs and Lego. SD is a fashionista in training, so I'll probably get her a nice pair of winter boots, clothes and accessories, and probably some jewelry making kits. She doesn't really play anymore, other than building with Lego. She's hard to shop for.

We already have a bunch of stuff for her - an aquadoodle, a fisher price bath toy set, some super cool pop-up books, and a cute Christmas outfit. We're going with the whole "something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read" thing, so that's everything, really. I'll do her a small stocking as well.

That's what I want LOs grandparents to do. The ILs side goes out of control and I don't want it to be expected. Plus I don't want a ton of crap around.

I'm having a hard time coming up with very much that the kids want/ would actually play with. Probably legos for DS1 and maybe some of the imaginex stuff. They both like projects, so probably art supplies.

missmodeste · September 2013

For DS so far: tidmouth shed, some train track pieces like wacky track, name puzzle and several books.

For DD: jewelry music box, baby doll accessories, name puzzle, a few stuffed Disney princess.

For both: wiggle cars, play kitchen, food and accessories

For nephew: no idea yet. He has everything and is hard to please.

I keep a gift closet of things on sale throughout the uear so I have several of the above and will add things before Christmas. I love Christmas shopping!

AimeeL85 · September 2013

My mom always knows what DS likes but man I wish my ILs would ask for a list!

So far all I know is Lego Duplo sets. I will also look at anything he can use his imagination with because he is getting so good at playing pretend now. He keeps asking for a "Paw Patrol" toy, it's a show he loves, but I think it's new and I don't think there are toys for it.

DD is hard because so many of the things that are great for 1 year olds we already have because DS got them for his first birthday/Christmas. For one, I might try to get her a few "girly" things (I know I know, but we have 800 gender neutral/"boyish" things in the house already).

lindslalala · September 2013

My mom is getting DS a pb kids anywhere chair, I think I'll have ILs do some wooden puzzles and I'm not sure what else. We're getting him stuff for his "big boy" room (toy box, bed/bedding, decorative stuff), some Disney movies and a goldfish.

LoriLee14 · September 2013

We am getting him a city map rug and little wooden people and cars to "drive" around on it.

I have no idea what to ask other people for though. It seems like he has everything he could need right now.

sometimesalwayschaotic · September 2013

I hope to get Magna tiles for the girls. I have already purchased some play food to go in their kitchen. I hope to get DD1 a magnetic dress up doll (like paper dolls) that looks like a ballerina. DD2 is hard since we have so much for her age already. I love patroling the play at home mom lists for ideas. They have a list for all ages through age 4 I believe. They have lots of open ended play ideas.

dizzycooks · September 2013

On her list for Christmas or her birthday:

duplo legos

balance bike

play food (we are getting her a kitchen)

a doll and stroller or cradle

puzzles

magna doodle

books

I don't know what else, but that's probably plenty. Our family doesn't go crazy and we follow the "want, need, read" policy so she'll get the kitchen, three new books and something she needs (clothes probably).

chardonnay24 · September 2013

We're getting him the wooden train set and train activity mat from PBK.

The rest of his list includes:

M&D shape sorting clock

Jack in the Box

Lincoln Logs

Bosch tool set with electric drill

Dish set

M&D cupcake set

Membership renewals at the zoo, children's museum, and science museum

sophie206 · September 2013

I've been adding to a list of ideas in my phone for the past few months for DD1 (she'll be 3.5). We only have a few kids movies so we're trying to grow the collection. No idea for DD2 yet. She will only be 5 months but Im sure DD1 will still expect baby to receive presents. :-)

Character sleeping bag
Toy Story DVDs
Madagascar DVDs
Little Mermaid DVD (releasing in Oct)
Art supplies (glitter glue, paper, paint, ect)
Puzzles (~48 pieces)

And we always do new PJs, socks and underwear.

What's the something you want, something you...thing? I might try to start that. Plus their stockings.

pitterpatter129 · September 2013

I've already done my shopping. I spread it out. Nate has a bday on the 9th, so this is a split bday/xmas list: sit n spin, train set, puzzles, watercolor book, memory game, Thomas carrying case for the trains, pjs Caleb has a bday in Feb: so far I have a pelican that swallows stuffed fish (Melissa and Doug thing) and a stuffed hungry caterpillar and pjs. Honestly, I'll probably just wrap some of the 1 yr old toys we already have in storage for him...

ETA: I missed the extended family part. I have 4 nieces who are 8, 9, 10 yrs that got bracelets that looked very pre-teeny. The younger niece is 4 and I haven't found something for her yet. My nephew is 6 and he got a board game.

fancynewbeesly · September 2013

For Hanukkah: (as of this week at least!)

Pattern blocks, lacing cards, Leap Reader and two books, Loving Family dollhouse and some furniture sets. (probably 2), Imaginext Toy Story Evil Doctor Porkchop playset.

For Christmas:

Probably a soccer ball, a little tikes basket ball set and a Imaginext Playset (most likely the Scare Floor from Monsters U-or the rescue floor one), duplo set, maybe more potato head parts (she LOVES Mr. Potato Head)

Ideas from family: anything with Jake and The Neverland Pirates--she REALLY wants Bucky although we have the LP Pirate Ship (which doesn't have a slide), wooden blocks set, klip klop stables from Little People, Disney Little People Ariel Playset, Lincoln Logs

MountaineerMomma · September 2013

Dd1 - an easel, art supplies, dress up clothes, pink Barbie car (only thing she has specifically asked for), Aquadoodle, don't know what else

Dd2 - Little People zoo, wooden block set, Stella first doll baby, some kind of stroller for doll to practice walking with, not sure what else.

Both - Melissa and Doug grocery stand, play food, possibly shopping cart

alake · September 2013

Summer: changes her mind daily. She needs a new bike. This is what I am thinking of getting her.
Leah: is reading so much. I am planning on adding quite a bit to her library. She could use a new bike, so that might be a good idea.
Logan: is getting a balance bike
Eryn: we will have to see. Right now, I am thinking a play kitchen.
Roo: I don't know.
We are taking the kids to Colorado the week after Christmas. I have just ordered snow suits for everyone (oh the joys of getting the kids to try them on, while in Florida!!)
They always get:
New pajamas
A new outfit
A big item that they want
A stocking. It has small accessories (socks, underwear) I am planning on getting the bigger three accessories for their I-Pads
We are all traveling to Colorado for an after Christmas holiday and have decided not to do gifts between my family. We are going to enjoy the company and have fun on the mountains.
