ncdr: bad mom?

DD (2.5)is getting a wooden dollhouse and xcountry skis for xmas. technically the skis are from her great grandma - picked out for her by me.
DSis getting a secondhand HaPe music toy (it's what we were going to get him anyway... and I found it in brand-new condition, minus the box for $10). He's only going to be 7 mths old. DD was the same age her first xmas and hardly played with the toys we got her. We have plenty of gender-neutral toys here already. I think buying something more for him would just be to buy something for him out of guilty feelings, rather than what he'd really notice. What do you think? Is it mean to spend over $100 (almost $200) on DD and not much for DS? Obviously I wouldn't do this when he is older! I want to put both of their names on the dollhouse, but DH won't hear tell of it.

This is a touchy subject at my house because DH's family is obsessed with gift giving, and it's a tradition I abandoned when I turned 19. I really want to try to raise our kids to be more mindful about the holidays and be involved with donations/volunteering more. Of course they'll get some presents, it's fun! But for us, it's not everything. Still, every year the holidays roll around and we get roped into this gift giving frenzy. Aaand.... I derailed. Sorry.
We pretty much just do a stocking and one or two little toys for them right now b/c they don't know any better and we don't have the space for a ton of toys.
My daughter will get a toy, book, and an article of clothes.
Last year we wrapped up old toys my daughter had long out grown for my son. That way he had gifts under the tree. But he really didn't need anything.
