We are talking about a power ride on toy or train table. Whatever he doesn't get we will save for his birthday. He will probably get a nabi or similar tablet for my parents.
Most likely a bike, helmet and the rest will be need items. I'm trying hard to stay in control financially. Plus we just don't have the space for a ton of crap.

We are doing experience gifts with the kids this year, since we literally cannot take anything with us to Hawaii because we're having stuff packed beforehand.
So we're going to take them as many places as we can, ice skating, maybe an indoor water park, museums, stuff like that instead of traditional gifts.
And honesty, I'm relieved. We have more than enough toys.
We're thinking of getting nephew a subscription to High 5 (younger Highlights) magazine for his 4th birthday in November then something small for Christmas. We're planning a family vacation with BIL/SIL instead of presents this year.
A lot less than last year. If everything goes well a big girls room, but I can't be sure about that yet. Maybe a bitty baby or dress up stuff. Probably a sleeping bag. The only toy I'm really looking for is a Minnie Mouse bowtique toy camera.
We are going to Florida/Disney so no real big gifts. I am going to do a few small things though - matchbox cars, arts and crafts stuff like new crayons and coloring books, and puzzles.
I think we're getting Kai a drumset. Not sure where we'll keep it...we'll probably also get more blocks. He loves building stuff. And probably a monster truck or two. It's tough because their interests change so much at this age, it's hard to plan ahead!
We're sticking to want, need, wear, and read. My H found him a pedal car that we're giving as a his big/want gift. I haven't decided on the rest.
If we didn't have the pedal car I would have gotten him magna tiles, they have them at daycare and he loves them. I'm kind of hoping that one his grandparents asks for suggestions.

Natalie's big gift is a Bitty Baby. I'm also getting her a crib for it and some other doll accessories. She also has a ball and a Cinderella doll, and I plan on getting her some playdoh playsets, books, and other smaller things.
Nolan is much harder to shop for since he's still so little and his birthday is the month after. His big gift is a Fisher Price train, and I've bought him a bunch of Little People cars. He also has a monogrammed stuffed dinosaur. I plan on buying some more boyish books for him to have as well.
I was going to ask girl moms some recommendations for dolls. The only 'girly' toy they have is the little people happy sounds home they got for their birthday.
Elias was going to get some ikea train tracks and trains but we got that yesterday. I will probably get him some more. And I never got him a basketball hoop. And I want to get him some table and chairs or a train table.
I was going to give her the Bitty Baby and some accessories but now i'm wondering if I should wait and give it to her when the baby comes in January instead. She's not really into dolls so I think if wait until her baby sister is here she might think it is more fun. That sort of makes doll accessories and stuff out too.
I think she will love a doctor kit so we might just do that and a few smaller things for her stocking like a new My Little Pony and some books. DH's family goes pretty overboard for her so i'm sure she will be getting plenty. They usually ask me for a list for her though - I will probably put some puzzles on it and some art stuff and not sure what else. Maybe a little piano or keyboard - she loves playing one at her friend's house.
I am trying to plan ahead as well. We are planning a train table with some extra track and some smaller things for A. An ornament is one of the traditions I am starting so each year he gets one that reflects his interests that year. This year it will likely be a train.
Baby will get an ornament and jammies and a book.
I am thinking Rosetta stone for my h.
I made an insane cross stitch for my mom last year. So this year I am going a bit smaller. I may get her a tote from www.litographs.com. I got my sister a poster of The Great Gastby last year and she loved it. I figure you may like these betsyray
I think yoga classes for my sister. I want to try and get her bf Jimmy Fallon tickets.
My dad is the hardest one every.single.year. I agonize over his gift. No ideas for him yet as usual.

LOVE the lithograph tote! My mom is a book worm and makes frequent trips to the library for new books - this would be perfect for her -now I just need to figure out her favorite classic book

Love the lithograph posters. When L gets a big girl room, I'm going to get some as decoration.
