s/o gifts for 1-2 year old for Christmas

[Deleted]

To spin off CloudBee's 6-12 month post, what are you getting your 1-2 year old for Christmas?

DS will be 22 months. So far he's getting the KidKraft Deluxe Play Kitchen from DH and me, and play food/dishes from the grandparents.

C is getting the Little People Farm that was on super sale at Target, a M&D block cart, and lots of books from us.

For family members, we are asking my mom for a zoo membership, and other relatives for books and DVDs.  I'd like to start a collection of Disney/Pixar movies since I imagine he'll start being somewhat interested in those within the next year.

We're getting DD the vintage Kid Kraft play kitchen - I'm so excited for this! PS - it just went up $10?!

If the grandparents ask, we'll suggest the food & stuff to go with it.

Also on the list:
Travel Aquadoodle
Melissa & Doug Chunky Puzzles
Mega Blocks
and lots of books.

We're cheating and are going to assemble the Ikea play kitchen she got for her 1st birthday from my parents I've gotten her some groceries to go with it. Christmas pjs, an I See Me book, and hopefully a Little People Farm (if I can get my hands on one!).

I also just signed her up for Music Together - not sure she'll realize it's a "xmas gift", but oh well!

I like looking at these Baby Cheapskates lists for "toys that get played with"

DD2 is getting a 20 inch Elmo from Santa. Also, Duplo blocks, M&D cardboard blocks, the animal magnets from M&D, playmobil mom and baby jogger

ETA: It's hard buying for a third b/c we already have all the big ticket items!

[arch01]

DS is getting a kitchen. We're suggesting food/accessories if anyone asks. BIL is buying DS a play vacuum and broom.

His birthday is 3 days before Christmas, so we're just going to split stuff up between the 2 days. He also is getting the LP farm. We also buy him a Christmas book each year.

[wonderfezz]

Kitchen, puzzles, books. That's as far as I've gotten.

[dcn]

Little people farm, a tunnel, and magnets for the fridge. Oh and an activity cube. I'm going to make a wish list of books and other non toy things for family.

Ds will be 14 months at Christmas.

[Ashley&Scott]

On M's list for Christmas & birthday: (this is from us & grandparents)
Play kitchen
Play kitchen food & accessories (toaster, pots & pans, food, dishes)
Little Tikes Cozy Truck
Little Tikes basketball hoop
Lawnmower push toy
Shopping cart push toy
Wooden puzzles (alphabet, M&D hide & seek farm)
Books (Press Here, Uh-Oh Dodo, Silly Little Goose, Pete the Cat - I Love My White Shoes)

[djc315]

Well N already got the LP Farm for his birthday, along with the pig pen and tractor "attachments"

I am at a loss; he got SO much stuff for his birthday, he hasn't even played with all of it yet. We'll probably go low-key for Christmas, since he has a lot of people that buy for him.

On "his" Amazon wish list:

Melissa & Doug Car Carrier
www.amazon.com/dp/B0037UT3E4/ref=gl_it_dp_o_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=UL4KTGVECCBI&coliid=I2FPG272JLXS11

FP Doodler (a daycare recommendation)
www.amazon.com/dp/B0060JVU72/ref=gl_it_dp_o_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=UL4KTGVECCBI&coliid=I9O3AOHAQVPG7

M&D magnetic farm puzzle

Books

[hocus2]

I have a house full of toys since this is my second kid.

We're getting books, train stuff (plan toys -- which I generally don't recommend because it doesn't fit with other sets. We're already 2 sets in though so I stick with it), and some dora toys.  The Hanukkah gifts are all shared between the kids.

[Deleted]

DS is 27mos and I pretty much adhere to the list that Babycheapskate posts every year. He's loved all of the toys from that list so yay for being right.

This Christmas, we got him a huge Cars theme train set and table from Costco since he is in love with that movie. Will get him some books, like Llama Llama Christmas one and the Pete the Cat one. Oh and some of those pretend food items, we already have some and he loves "cooking" with us at home. We're avoiding the play kitchen since he has that at daycare, so we're aiming for toys he doesn't play with there.

[GracieLouFreebush1]

Doc McStuffins doctor kit
Princess sleeping bag
Wooden stool with her name on it as a puzzle
Personalized I See Me book (but I'm wondering if we should save it as a gift from the baby in May?)
Step2 Shopping Cart and play food (she got a kitchen for her 2nd birthday this past summer)

I think my parents are getting her a trike or bike.

I just added a Fold-n-Go trampoline to her Amazon wish list after the ML post. Also on there is Magnatiles and an outdoor/plastic picnic table. These will be the ideas for the ILs should they ask.

[pupcake]

She is getting the little people klip klop stable. I think I'm way to excited to play with it Xmas morning. We are also getting her a toy vacuum cleaner. She loves when I vacuum because she has to help.

[coleyv]

So far the only things on our list are a play kitchen and the play dishes/food. I know the grandparents will get her a ton of stuff so I don't think we'll buy that much for her ourselves.

[Deleted]

DS is getting a play kitchen (H is going to build him one), my mom is getting him one of those three-in-one tricycles (the kind you can push, and then converts to a normal trike), and he's also getting some art supplies and some toy trucks.

[jenjen]

J will be 18 months and we are buying a step 2 kitchen (got it last weekend at TRU with a $25 off coupon). We are asking for food and accessories for Christmas as well as books. I also bought some m&d puzzles while at TRU. Not sure what else he will ask for- maybe a little tool bench. He is getting a push lawnmower from MIL.

[jackpackage]

Books, play food, and blocks. We're debating about whether to get a "big" gift for him. If we do, it will probably be a wagon.

We bought one of those stools for DS for his birthday and it has been one of my favorite purchases for him so far. He's in love with it!

I just ordered these for a stocking stuffer on Amazon. For $.65, works for me. And magnets are a HUGE hit these days.

The Aquadoodle is great for kids this age and older. Inexpensive, not noisy, lets them be creative, and not messy at all!
