Can we talk about Christmas presents?

bumpuser1691848 · October 2013

I don't know what else to get my kids, and grandparents are asking already.

DD is getting a power wheels car, a little recliner like chair that rocks, an Innotab 3 and some games for it, and a damn Ariel doll she's seen on TV that she can play with in the bath.

DS is getting a 4-wheeler power wheels and the same chair as DD, just different color.

What are y'all getting for your kiddos? I need ideas!

SandFHasse · October 2013

We want to get her a little climb on playground for her. Other then that we have no idea. I need ideas.

CurlyQ284 · October 2013

Mine is 1 so board books, clothes and I thinkthat 4 in 1 tricycle thing.

ASmallWonder · October 2013

DS1 is getting a new Batman car seat, jeans with Spiderman/Batman/Ninja Turtle patches on them, one of those bouncy balls you sit on with the handle and some pre-school appropriate learning things (like things to lace, letter/number flashcards, etc.). I'm SURE he'll get more but that's what we're planning or have picked up. DS2 isn't getting much because we have every.toy.ever.made. from DS1. Poor little buddy lol

bumpuser1691848 · October 2013

@speer06

I guess so. DD is obsessed with Disney characters lately... my worst nightmare.

We are probably getting DS one of the pottery barn anywhere chairs. He loves chairs! Santa will get him one of those tricycles that you push type things, we think. We are boring and ask grandparents to do either clothes he needs or college fund $ especially as he's so young. They usually still do some sort of toy too. We only do one gift and one Santa gift bc again we are boring.

meaglamillion · October 2013

I think we are getting her a leap pad 2, doll house furniture, and one of those doctor kits. Plus, a few small stocking things like big girl panties, new toothbrush, etc

We also got a big play dollhouse for free from DH's work. Just need to touch up some paint,score!

@elmoali that flashcards and learning stuff is a great idea. DD is good at recognizing numbers, but needs to work on the letters.

ReeseFox · October 2013

DD1 is at the stage where all she really wants is to go pick out her own stuff. She'll likely get gift cards for iTunes and some clothing stores. I always buy her books. I can't think of anything to put under the tree that she'll be really excited about...maybe some Jordans or new boots.

DD2 is getting a play kitchen and accessories, books, and probably some babydolls.

ETA - maybe I could get DD1 some nice headphones. She's always complaining about her earbuds.

What do you get a one-year-old? DD's bday and Christmas are both in December. I just told my parents to get her one of the convertible car seats we need (or they can get both if they are feeling particularly generous). She's got a good amount of toys/books/clothes. DH wants to get her like a big playhouse type thing that will definitely take over the family area. I am not a huge fan of that idea (mostly due to space issues) but I got nothing.

@peanutrach1 We got DD2 this for her 1st birthday. She absolutely loves it. It's not a full house, so doesn't take up much room and you can easily move it out of your way when needed.

Karbird5 · October 2013

She is really into Playdoh right now, so I am getting the movie snacks play set and maybe the dentist one plus lots of different colors. Maybe some Calico critters. :lurking for more ideas:

@peanutrach1 , we share a nanny with a family with a two year old and she has this. She loves it as does DS. They play with it all the time!

angelashly · October 2013

Big present is the Doc McStuffins check up clinic. Then probably a baby and some books.

Eta: my family spoils her so I never by a lot. I used to feel guilty,but really she doesn't care.

scoutkate · October 2013

B's big present is a Disney trip, but I'm sure we'll have some smaller things for her under the tree. she's really into Disney princesses and Lalaloopsie right now so I'm sure whatever we get her will be along those lines. We'll probably also get her a couple of Disney movies.

It will be a very Disney holiday in our house!

LoveActually4 · October 2013

We have 3 kids' bdays in December, plus Christmas. I'm freaking out.

Also, my BIL and brother just came to town on separate visits and bought out TRU for the kids. They have them basically everything I had planned on getting for Christmas so I'm back at square one.

Anyone want to come be my personal shopper?

Sent you a PM @LoveActually4

chardonnay24 · October 2013

He's getting a wooden train set and a train activity mat. That's it. He needs nothing and I'm having trouble coming up with other ideas for everyone else.

Other things on his list:

Lincoln Logs

Magnatiles

More Duplos

Books

Dish set

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

futuremrsdelguidice · October 2013

We plan to get ds a play kitchen, a tricycle and a basketball hoop for big gifts this Christmas (basketball hoop may be for his bday on 12/7 but haven't decided). I also go by the whole "something they want, something the need, something to wear and something to read. That helps when shopping for anyone

lildevil968 · October 2013

DS- Jeep power wheel, Denver Broncos pillow pet, Peyton Manning jersey, and a few Jake and the neverland pirates toys.

DD- iPad mini, clothes, a charm for her pandora bracelet, and a game for the iPad.

bumpuser1691848 · October 2013

DD has play-doh, WAY too many baby dolls, a play kitchen with the food, plates, forks, etc. My mom and stepdad like to spoil them, so it's hard to buy for them.

CinemaGoddess · October 2013

We're getting the girls a bed.

EVA116 · October 2013

Bike with training wheels and I am looking for some sort of art table for her...haven't found one yet. And books, DD loves her books.

EVA116 · October 2013

R will only be 5 months so nothing for him but some clothes.

@cinemagoddess how old are your girls? I feel like you were like 6 or so months behind me on the tri/month boards, right?

What size bed? I'm moving DD to a full size (hopefully this weekend) so maybe new sheets would be good instead of using my old sheets...

LoveActually4 · October 2013

@Manneek1977 back at ya!

shadypines · October 2013

@LoveActually4 ditto!

Helenahhandbasket · October 2013

DD had a blast playing with a friend's son's little tykes basket ball hoop-- so we are going to order that for her. We also bought her a copy of The Little Mermaid and a cute Ariel doll.

@peanutrach1, You could get her a Cozy Coupe, push or pull toys, puzzles with the big knobs, blocks, or a ball popper.

robyn2201 · October 2013

DD1 (3 years old): She is getting some Fancy Nancy books, Dr. McStuffins kit, Duplo Legos, bag for ballet. Hoping my parents will get her a scooter.

DD2 (will have just turned 1): Cozy Coupe, Vtech shape sorter, stocking. Her birthday is the same month and she is getting a ball popper.

ProudMommyER073113 · October 2013

DD will be 5 months, DH and I decided we will not give her much for Christmas. We say that now but I know we will be getting her things. I already have my eyes on an infant to toddler rocker and maybe a few books, and an outfit or two.

MrsCodeMonkey · October 2013

DD has the Ariel bath toy and loves it. She also has the Ariel Duplo set and enjoys it. I'd like to get her more Duplo sets and some more books.

@ProudMommyER073113 (wow that's a doozy to type)

DD-is too cute in avatar....

grannyweatherwax · October 2013

DD is getting the Leap Pad 2, some bath toys, Little People princess castle, some books, art supplies, magnetic ABC's, and maybe some dress up clothes. I never know how much to get her until I go overboard. I just feel guilty for not buying her all the toys since I didn't get much growing up. I am way overcompensating.

I am not buying anything for the LO due Dec 27th, I feel like being born is a good present.

Luckie519 · October 2013

Dude, I have no idea. I was thinking a bike, but MIL came home with one a few weeks ago, so there goes that idea. DS has been mainly asked for car, trucks or that kind of thing. He also has asked about that Bubble Guppies toy that there has been commercials for.

I know he is getting into games, and has asked about the Captain Hook game - not sure what it is called or what the age is, but I will probably grab him a game or two. Other than that.. I got nothing!

wiggyslilsis · October 2013

We are getting DD a twin sized bed and bedding, my brother is getting her a play kitchen and my mom is getting her an electric quad for our house(she has one at Grandmas).

I always suggest books if anyone asks but DH's family hates that because kids can't read until they are like six so why in the world would she need books.

I usually just give sizes and interests and let them find a gift.

My ILs are pitching in and we're getting DS this:

Other than that some small stuff, like another O-ball and we have a V-Tech learning laptop and a sport ball stacker.

nanabanana06 · October 2013

Rosie is getting the Innotab 3 from Santa. We'll probably get her a Crayola big art box, some books, some clothes, and a game or two for her Innotab.

Cade is getting a book holder thing with some books from Santa. We;ll get him some small ish toys/musical instruments, books, and clothes. His birthday is also the 31st and we'll be getting him a sensory table for his birthday.

kellijo1013 · October 2013

I am planning on getting this for my 3 yo DD and my 2 yo nephew

My 3 year old also really likes Sophia but I don't love the selection of those toys since they all revolve around looks.

littlestjerry · October 2013

Anywhere chair and maybe some Disney stuffed animals and books.

@jack554 We have it and the music is a bit much..."I'm a little pony. such a pretty pony..." Have you listened to it?

Granted, you can take the batteries out. We got ours as a hand me down and will soon be rehomed. DD did enjoy it for a few months.
