what did you buy your kid(s) for the holidays?

[pugz]

post it here so people still brainstorming can get ideas!  

[pugz]

we....went a bit overboard.

stocking stuffers: stuffed otter, hooded towel, hape wooden blocks

big gifts: play kitchen, M&D fridge and pantry staples, Green Toys chefs set. Green Toys bus.

She also gets a book ever Christmas, this year she got I Want My Hat Back.

also got her the FP nativity set but she'll get that early.

[ssmjlm]

stocking: banana baby toothbrush, baby einstein travel tunes, gap mittens

main gift: PB anywhere chair

I know my sister bought her: sorting blocks and one of the dance and laugh puppies (I think the smaller one) since E loves music.

For their big gifts DD is getting a kidkraft dollhouse, DS1 is getting a kidkraft train table and a plasma car that I got a smokin deal on and DS2 is getting his convertible car seat lol because we already own everything a 3-12 month old baby could ever want or need.

Plus a couple DVDs, board games, books and some clothes. I'll probably have a disney store order on Black Friday/cyber Monday depending on what's on sale.

[katiecj]

I bought my 4 year old a skateboard and a scooter. He's also getting the movie Planes and Monster University. A bunch of books and a lot of Thomas the Train stuff.

[Deleted]

Main gift is a play kitchen (Grandparents are getting play food and dishes). A couple more little gifts of chunky cars that hook together with magnets, a tool belt, and farm puzzles.

The play kitchen I picked out (Kidkraft Deluxe Kitchen) is $150, which is his whole Christmas budget. So he's not getting much else. Or at least that's what I will *try* to stick with, LOL.

[SallySparrow]

Stocking stuffers: a teether, TARDIS onesie, TARDIS night light.

Stacking rings, a see-n-say, a couple board books, a copy of Sarah Kay's poem "B" in book form, some headbands from etsy.

[Deleted]

DS: Little Tykes BBQ, play food, Mr. Potato Head expansion pack, red pants (because he has a slightly tragic fashion obsession)
DD: O Ball, chevron diaper, 4-month friendly sippy cup, cute jammies

[ryry]

For DD1:
Lincoln Logs
Curious George DVD
Melissa and Doug Reusable Sticker Pad
I See Me Book

DD2:
Fisher Price Discovery Grow Lion Activity Block
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
I See Me Book

For both of them:
Llama Llama Nighty Night
Pete the Cat: Wheels on the Bus
And the big gift, a double seat wagon (personalized!)

I still need to get some stocking stuffers too...I think those will be underwear/socks.

[Deleted]

There is no doubt we went overboard.

Laugh & Learn Crawl Around Car
Apptivity Creation Center for iPad
2 Hooded Towels
Parum Pum Pum Drum
the Rubber Blocks from the B Line of Toys
Spill & Fill Toy
I See Me Book
I'll throw some little things in her stocking too. I'm also seriously considering Sight & Sound Tubes because she loves the ones at story time so much.

My ILs already sent her big present from them - a wagon.

My SIL sent a ton of things already too but I haven't opened them.

I know my parents got her a plush rocker, I think it's a frog.

Yes, we're ridiculous.

It's a stacker that can be stacked in any configuration.

[carolinagirl831]

I'm impressed you guys have already bought this far ahead!

[carolinagirl831]

On my list:
From us and Santa - parum drum, piano, blocks and a doll
Haven't thought far enough ahead for stocking stuffers
My parents are getting her a pbk anywhere chair
Someone just sent her a wagon but it didn't come with a packing slip so we don't know who!

[Brie]

Oh fuck, stockings. Lol.

Presents are a M&D block cart, a FP Little People Farm, and a few books. I am sure our family will go way overboard and we have a $300 copay for his tubes cutting into the Christmas budget a bit.

[skib]

We're not doing a "big" gift (size-wise) this year because we couldn't think of anything that she needed (we already have a kitchen, dollhouse, anywhere chair, etc.). So she's getting several little things:

A pink camera (this was a specific Santa request, and I found a pink Nikon Coolpix on clearance at Target for about $50 -- less than several of the toy cameras I found)

A ton of books

A Doc McStuffins personalized blanket from Disney Store

A Peppa Pig house

A few bath toys

I'm sure I'll find several other things, too. We tend to go a little overboard.

[Deleted]

We bought:
M&D alphabet magnets
FP Melody push chime
Magformers
M&D pots and pans
M&D 4 food group set

Bubbles

A pack of Doc band aids in her stocking. Not sure what else...

Our Elf on the shelf brings little things during the month (socks, pjs, books)

We are going to Disney for a weekend, so that's the big gift really.

[pupcake]

:::crickets:::

I swear it's not second child syndrome - there's just not much I can think of for DS2. He already has all of DS1's old toys to age into, of which there are a shitton. I am thinking of getting the Parum Drum and a bunch of books, since that's what he's mostly into.

[drloretta]

A shitton of stuff, and the grandparents haven't even weighed in yet. There are a lot of consumables--coloring books, sticker books, stamps and ink pads, etc. We got her a few B Toys (the light up globe is my favorite right now) and some Imaginext toys to round out her castle accessories (the battering ram is going to be a hit). My favorite stocking stuffer is a box of Christmas themed band-aids. We also got her themed bedding. I think I got Hello Kitty.

[anelms]

J will be 2 months old. I bought a ton of books during the target sale so that will be his Santa gift. We plan on doing a stocking too but haven't gotten stuff for it yet

[bronxgirl]

Merida doll (12" Barbie style),Madame Alexander Cinderella doll (18" American Girl style), puzzles, reusable sticker pad, drawing board, Doc McStuffins coat and FP doctor kit. My parents are giving her magnatiles and a couple other small things. Her birthday is coming up soon and we're getting her an outfot for Bitty Baby. My parents are getting her dollhouse furniture.

[redheadbaker]

Haven't purchased anything yet.

On the list:

For his stocking: Yes to Baby Carrots Shampoo/Body Wash and Bubble Bath; a couple of Fisher Price Zoo Talkers animals for his Little People Zoo; maybe a Sandra Boynton board book or two

For his presents: A bike helmet (his grandfather got him the Radio Flyer 4-in-1 trike for his birthday); the Fisher Price Little People School Bus and Playground; a few books; a few new outfits

His birthday was just last week, so I *really* don't want to go overboard.

[JLV]

We got DS (who will be 22 months at Christmas):

Big Hugs Elmo

Thomas the Tank steam 'n speed R/C train

Nabi, Jr. Tablet

A wooden figure 8 train set

M&D monster bowling

3 M&D puzzles

M&D dry erase/magnetic chalk board

A toy Dyson vacuum

Leap Reader Tag Junior and 4 books to go with it

Lego Duplo Planes set

For his stocking I got Crayola waterproof crayons and markers, chalk and a little doodle pad. I'm also going to get the Planes movie.

I would still like to get him the Cookie Monster play kitchen.

[pierogigirl]

DS2 has a birthday in early December - we got him a balance bike, Little People pig pond, and shopping baskets, play food, pots and pans

DS1 is getting: Magnatiles, puzzles, pjs, some books and probably some clothes. I'm not too sure about his stocking, except I already got 3 Planes, and will probably put in some Matchbox cars.

DS2 is getting: Little People Santa set, books, pjs, playdoh, dishes, more play food, and some clothes. Not sure about stocking, but I am making him some fried eggs out of fleece because he loves to "cook" and his favorite thing to make is eggs. I'm going to make an extra one as his ornament this year, too.

I got the Little People nativity on super sale this summer. I think I'll bring it out as part of our Advent Calendar countdown activities.
