53 Days Until Christmas!

That's right, I went there already! You can hate me for it. What are you planning on getting your LO(s)? How about your husband/SO? Mine is getting a lump of coal unless he starts getting up more in the middle of the night.

MommyKristin88 · November 2013

LO is getting mostly clothes. He'll most likely get a bumbo and I'm going to get us an Ergo. He'll also get cloth diapers, just because I'm addicted and can't pass up an opportunity to buy them.

My daughter is getting clothes, shoes, and some games for her DS. All other toys comes from her grandparents.

My SO wants a PS4. I've known him almost 2 years and have never heard/seen him talk about/play video games. It's so random! He's also getting clothes, because he never shops for himself and needs new ones.

I don't have any idea yet but I can tell you it will be minimal. I don't have the cash to blow this year so there will be a lot if homemade gifts.

I feel ya! Maybe Craiglists?

I looooove Christmas. No idea what to get LO so seeing a few answers will be great. We are getting DS1 a Thomas bed set (he's obsessed) and possibly one of those ride on motorized cars. H wants to get him the car but I personally think DS has waaaaay to many toys. If love to get him a bunch of doctor Seuss books to be honest, some learning stuff!

girlmama83 · November 2013

LO is getting some type of jumperoo or exersaucer. Grammy is getting her a PBK anywhere chair - I'm so excited!

As for DB, both our birthdays are this month and then with christmas next month we have found it hard to do gifts for both. I think for christmas we are going to skip gifts for each other, save that money, and put it towards getting tattoos dedicated to baby.

kristykay123 · November 2013

Not sure if this helps anyone but I've been on the lookout for deals already. Maybe space out the money with sales and coupons...

I am on the hunt for an exersaucer! I want one so bad for LO so she can play while I get ready for work but I don't want to pay $100.

coraggiosa · November 2013

@kristykay123 It's nice to see you around again

My DD was a pink dinosaur for Halloween (my sis bought her costume the day after she was born), and it made me think of you! I hope you are well!

As for Christmas, I plan on getting DD some developmental toys and books. I've started a list on Amazon. I also think we will be looking into convertible carseats as well.

So good to see you too! I HAVE TO SEE THIS AMAZINGNESS! I couldn't find any dino costumes that didn't look like dragons. Booooo.

coraggiosa · November 2013

I will post a picture when I'm on my computer

She got it at some store in San Antonio, TX.

tanabeans · November 2013

@kristykay123 thanks for the links, ill def look at them but for the most part I'm a little bit anti gifts, my in laws used to fill the room with gifts and get themselves in debt so the kids could have a "special" Christmas. Then the kids would rip through all the gifts and not just they're own and then fight about who got better presents. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Dd will get one gift from us and one from santa. Ill try to put some cash in her savings.

AprilRaine · November 2013

No idea about the LOs... DS1 seems enthralled with the hugging Elmo every time that commercial comes on so I'll probably get him that. I think I'll do a fun homemade gift craft with the boys for DH.
For family I usually make an assortment of 8 or so different types of homemade candies/truffles and give them their own box of chocolates. It always goes over really well.

coraggiosa · November 2013

@kristykay123 I had a hard time getting a good picture because she got hot and was screaming, but it had an adorable little tail. My favorite was the little claw feet

Oh my goodness! This is the cutest pink dino evarghhh!!!

Snowbird7 · November 2013

I love Christmas. My husband is really into vinyl, so I got our LO one of the Fisher Price retro toys. His very own "record player":

And yeah, I know he's way too little to play with it, but I didn't want to risk Fisher Price discontinuing them before he's old enough. We're getting him a few other age-appropriate toys.

AprilRaine · November 2013

@ayanahazel1 that is adorable! I want that toy for me!!!!

V&G101808 · November 2013

For DS: jumperoo, developmental toys, perhaps a convertible car seat.

For DH: I recently purchased him a big $$ collectible that he's been wanting and he said that he'd only accept it if I made that his christmas gift. Silly man knows I'm going to buy him something else... I'm thinking of getting him some tools that he's been eyeing.

I'm trying to hint to DH that I want a new MK bag But I'll be happy if he lets me buy a new wrap carrier and a ring sling!

Bunnyfer · November 2013

LO is getting practical gifts...There will be plenty of time for a toy explosion. DH and I will do what we do every year when money is tight...we each pick out a few things, put them on layaway after the holidays...and get them when its payed off....it works for us, and more $$ spent on LO

MommyAmes2 · November 2013

Older 2 are getting flat screens (yes I am that mom). Plus some other things, not sure what else yet.

LO: jumperoo, clothes, maybe a few light up/musical toys.

Texasmomma13 · November 2013

That's hilarious. My FB status this morning was "now that Halloween is over, can I start decorating for Christmas?". Great minds I guess. For Savannah, her list includes books for her children's library we are working on, a walker, some actual toys (there's a music desk thing at Sam's that I want to get). I have no idea what my husband wants. If he doesn't stop pissing me off he's getting a dog house to sleep in. I've asked for super practical gifts this year. I want to take a few photography classes at the local tech school. I used to be pretty good at it, but I'm out of practice and I need to learn this dang DSLR. It's way more complicated than my old rebel.

Smom901316 · November 2013

I am that girl who has already started shopping and has started wrapping. I LOVE the winter holidays . LO will probably get 4 piece puzzles, a light up toy, and maybe a citrus lane box subscription. DF I have no clue... I got the rest of our extended family out of the way early so I could spend time on figuring out him. He needs a new computer maybe I will surprise him.

Emeraldeyed315 · November 2013

I am hoping to get an ergo carrier. Maybe some clothes?

For LO some clothes/toys/money in her bank account.

DH, clothes and toys for the house haha.

We will be doing more homemade gifts this year too. Money is tight!

TeacherMom210 · November 2013

@kristykay123 That costume is so cute!

DH is getting Man of Steel since we didn't get to see it in theaters this summer. I'll get him a few other things, too, I just haven't finished figuring it out.

DD is getting a bunch of developmental toys from Amazon. We traded in an old Alienware laptop we had just sitting around and used the credit to buy her Christmas presents. It was a good compromise.

PB102012 · November 2013

Yay!!!! I have no idea what I am getting DH, but LO is getting an exersaucer!

kwrecks · November 2013

LO is getting clothes, and a few toys from us. I know her grandparents are going to go crazy on toys though, even though I've asked them not to because we don't have a lot of space to store toys that she won't use for a while. DH is getting a bunch of stuff for the new camper we bought. He is so excited that we got a camper so we can take LO camping next year, and so I plan on getting him fishing stuff, and a grill to keep up at the campground. I also plan on making photo books for the grandparents of LO. And we are going to be paying for a family photo shoot for both sides of the family. The last family photos we took were at our wedding 2 years ago, and before that it was 9 years ago. DH's family, besides our wedding, has never had family photos taken. So in the spring, both sides of the family will be getting updated family photos.

LJUTCMommy · November 2013

I think LO will get an exersaucer, a high chair, and some more books.

For DH, I really don't know yet.

kwhite27 · November 2013

I am so beyond excited for Christmas!!!!

Moosesoar · November 2013

LO is getting Sassy's first books, a fleece sleeper, a couple of toy's and matching Zutano hat, mittens and boots. And of course he will be spoiled by his grandparents.
:P
DH and I don't get each other gifts. We are just weird like that, I guess?! lol
The family are getting photo's of LO and homemade goodies.

azzy1206 · November 2013

My Christmas tree is up already! Since last week I just love Christmas! I'm planning to get LO a walker, and a lil swimming pool for summer, and clothes and stuff,
And for my hubby maybe a baseball glove. Or anything that has to do with Angels baseball

Revez · November 2013

Is it bad that 95% of my list is not only bought, but wrapped as well?

MommyBolty · November 2013

Hmmm.. I think I'll get through thanksgiving before thinking of Christmas.

In regards to this I told my H he isn't getting sex until he starts helping more... ha!

As for LO he's getting lots of books and i'm wrapping up any of the new clothes I've bought him that won't fit until that point. I'm sure we'll get him a few toys, too! I'm SOOO excited for Christmas this year!

DH is getting new slippers and comfy shoes... and I'm not sure what else..
