Gift Ideas

ccam · November 2014

What's on your LO's Christmas/holiday list for this year? I know it's sort of far out, but just curious what everyone is thinking. Besides a few little things for DS, I'm sort of lost on what to get him! Or maybe this is the furthest thing from your mind right now!

I'm trying to do some shopping ahead of time since I'm due with #2 on the 24th. So far I bought some books, puzzles, a few clothes, PJs & slippers, new sneakers and a Mr. Potato Head set.

ETA: I'm already getting questions from family about what to get him for Christmas, too! I suggested a snow suit and boots to my mother, which she already picked up.

we're kind of stumped as well. we don't want DS to be too overloaded with toys and we'd prefer to get him active/movement/sports-related toys or art supplies.

we definitely want to get him one of those play rugs with the roads on it, since he really likes to drive his hot wheels around. I was also thinking of getting him an easel. ikea has an inexpensive one (also an inexpensive play rug). we'll also get him some books, and little stocking stuffers.

I'm interested to hear others' ideas.

I got the Radio Flyer Blaze interactive riding horse as her big gift from Santa. Sorry to not post a link but I'm lazy. Also got various Little People sets, bath toys and bath paint set as she's going through bath hate currently and I'm hoping to ease that. I ordered old school Color Forms from Amazon because she played with those at my boss's house and loved them. She's obsessed with Peppa Pig, so I got her the school house and figures. I also bought her a more advanced cash register than the one she has because she loves ringing up the groceries that came with her shopping cart and bagging them. And a Velcro food set with a plastic knife so she can "cut" food. Books, slippers, bath foam, fruit and Hershey's kisses will be stocking stuffers. That's all I can remember offhand, but more things keep arriving that I forgot I ordered. As you can tell, I'm a little excited about this Christmas and I've already got an advent calendar and Elf on the Shelf ready for December. Having a kid(s) makes it so much more fun.

DD is getting a kitchen from Santa. Then I got her a mermaid barbie and a Frozen fleece blanket and pillow set. Then for her stocking we got the bath fizzes that turn the water colors and picking up Monsters University.

She is still young enough she doesn't need much more than that. Plus she will get things from her grandparents and aunts and uncles.

We will be getting DD a new portable DVD player for the car. The one we bought last year is broken because the battery exploded and its not in warranty anymore...grrr

We are going to get her a game for her leap pad, an activity book, pjs, a Barbie, and a Disney DVD to start her collection. Sports stuff is traditionally given at Easter in our family, so ill save the balls and jump ropes and such for then.

We are getting DS an easel from Ikea and art supplies, a toy helicopter, possibly a wheely bug (he loved it at a friends house), and I'm not sure what else.

My parents are getting him a leapfrog. I also put a tricycle and sandbox on his wish list.
