Here's mine. I gave a list to my mom for the kids. For the FIRST time ever I am actually excited that she found something awesome for the kids that wasn't actually on my list. Go Mom. My kids fight over everything. They are going to love these and $27.84 for a set of 2? YES PLEASE. Who knew QVC had great gift ideas.
I'm getting J a Harley Davidson edition Craftsman tool chest. He pretty much already knows about it, but he's excited.
My sisters and I are getting my dad a freezer. He's going to die. My mom keeps telling him no way, they don't have room for it, but she's totally in on it.
We bought DS a little walkie talkie set from Cracker Barrell Sunday. Its a cheap little walkie talkie set, but he is in love with it. I'm going to get him a decent walkie talkie set that is a much longer range. XH is getting him a kids police car he can drive (to go with his police officer costume. Not sure what else I'm going to get him.
I can't blame DS for wanting to play a police officer. I always wanted to be a cop. I still do actually.
We aren't buying for anyone but our nieces and nephew this year, so I've already gone a little bonkers with presents for DS. I'm most excited about three or four stations for his Thomas wooden railroad and a ton of new wooden trains I picked up on eBay. We also bought lots of new track, so Santa is going to set that up under the tree with one new train and one of the stations and let him open the rest. He is going to freak. OUT.

I'm getting H an adult kick scooter thing. We got L one for her birthday (well my parents did) and H talked then about wanting to get one too. I think if I get him one, they'll both use it and it'll be a good bonding thing.
He has completely forgotten about it, but I think he'll be stoked to receive it.

I forgot another one! My neighbor friends gifted us their boys Thomas the Train collection. I haven't gone through all of it but they gave us a TON. We're going to set the whole thing up on Christmas morning. We have about 3 Trader Joes bags full of trains, tracks and misc trees bridges etc. It has to be worth hundreds. Great FREE gift that my kids will love.

My DD has the mini kick and friggen loves that thing. She was riding like a pro at 2yrs old. We got my DH a razer so he could keep up with her. This is by far her favorite thing to do with her daddy.

H is getting a new bass guitar and that's always fun. But we're most excited to give my sister's boyfriend his gift. We got him the Workaholics bear hoodie. He's a good guy and and he's going to flip.

I bought H a season ski pass to the Telluride slopes this year. I can't be up there more than twice over the ski season but he goes home once a month to check on things. He's going to be so surprised. I can't wait to see him open it.

Look at it!! LOOK!!!!!
Also, we got him pretty much every single TNMT figure that has been made and put them all in one box, so I know he's going to explode when he opens that.
I got erin the fisher price disney princess klipklop set with a bunch of extra princess pony sets for like $16 or $17 net cost after I scanned 4 $10 off coupons at the register! Like $60 worth of shit!

The massive Hot Wheels track for my kid. It wasn't on his list but I think he'll flip out when he sees it. I haven't decided if I want to wrap it or leave it unwrapped and assembled yet.
It's kind of cheesy, but I'm getting H this keychain. The coordinates will be the hospital building where I deliver, underneath will be stamped with her DOB, and the floating tag will be stamped with her initial. I'm getting him a few other things, but I think he'll really like/appreciate this since he doesn't have an office job and can't really have any pictures or anything with him.
My h has wanted a Big Steel Keg for a few years now, but he keeps putting it off (we were going to fix the deck at the old place, then we were looking to move, then he wanted to wait until spring, etc...) so I think I'm just going to get one for him or else it will always be something. Omg, he's going to be so excited. He works so hard, so it will be nice to surprise him with something he really wants.
Then I would have to say Sofia's gift. I'm so excited to put her kitchen together Christmas Eve and watch her when she comes out Christmas morning. She's going to flip.

So now I just need something for adam!
I went absolutely crazy with the imaginext coupons, I found airplanes from last year on clearance and they ended up being a dollar a piece. I'm excited about the batcave and I am also stoked about the lego table I am going to build him.

Recently? I need these coupons!
M got the three princess set with the horses for her birthday from a friend, and she has played with them NONSTOP.
So Santa is bringing the klip klop stable (which, WTF, It would have been just as cute named "clip clop stable"). She is going to freak.
We are switching from Sprint to Verizon in December, so we are buying each other a new iphone. I'm excited about that.
I got dd one of these and I am PSYCHED. One of my old gym teachers in elementary school used to let us scoot around on the basketball court on less elaborate versions of these and I looooved it.
H's birthday is on Thanksgiving, so he will actually get it then. I got him a book called "Smutty Sign Language". Since he uses hearing aides, we will have to learn sign language at some point anyway, and figured this was a good start.

How did you do this? DS is obsessed with Imaginext!

I'm changing Logan's room overnight. *crossing fingers* No painting involved but I'm buying him this bed (he's still in his crib/daybed) and redecorating. Can't wait to see him wake up in a new room.
