Santa is bringing the Melissa and Doug easel and easel accessory set, the Disney Jake and the Neverland Pirates deluxe Bucky ship, a sled, a guitar, some Thomas wooden trains and a generic roundhouse.
We're giving him the PlaySkool Show Cam, the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel game, some slippers and a robe like daddy's, and some books.
5 year old's list: Amazon fire kids' tablet with OMG MINECRAFT, Lego sets, robot t-rex, plastic dinosaurs, movies, books
3 year old's list: dollhouse. (this is all he asks for... I am looking for one that isn't totally pink and purple... ughhhhh) I'm also gonna get him a little tikes fire trunk and gas pump, and some books.
If my stupid H doesn't get a stupid job soon, it's looking like a homemade/handmade, or hand me down Christmas in the malibu house.
If he does finally get a goddamn job:
She turns four in two weeks from today.
Elsa/Anna stuff since the kid is obsessed Baby Alive, don't know which one since there's about a million of them. One with few small parts that get lost One of those Palace Pets I keep seeing on Disney Jr and she keeps begging for one If for some reason we suddenly can afford it, a loft bed. Her cousin got one and now it's all she talks about. I'm happy she likes/wants one, because it would probably double the useable space in her tiny, tiny room if she got one. Some art stuff. She loves art. I'll likely wander Toys R Us and look for stuff. She's been into asking how things work, and I know they have a science-y section that I bet I could find a few things she'd find interesting.
DD's 2nd birthday is a week after Christmas. From us and Santa she's getting: play kitchen food and accessories play mixer play toaster play coffee maker Plasma Car Scooter M&D Let's play House sweep and mop set wooden blocks doll stroller doll car seat puzzles vacuum Raffi CD tea set couple other things I can't remember
whoa
Eh, between Santa (who in our family gives about 5-10 gifts) and the presents she's getting from us for Christmas and the presents she's getting from us for her birthday it isn't that much. Plus, since her birthday is so close to Christmas I feel like I really have one time of year to get her presents. Oh and a lot of it has been purchased from Amazon lightening deals (Hape kitchen and accessories, M&D food, M&D wooden blocks, plasma car...).

My 2 year old ds is getting a workshop and a toy drill that actually makes noise. I also got him some Lincoln Logs and a suitcase for when we go to the cabin (that one is more for me then him since he won't care).
My 9 year old is getting a sewing machine and some accessories for it, a Frozen backpack and some other random Frozen stuff.
My daughter will be 5 on Dec 6, and she is getting the barbie dream house with an elevator for Christmas. And then just some smaller things for her birthday.
Okay, I love this thread! It gave me the kick in the butt to start Christmas shopping and so I checked our account and we had a $400 credit to our account for some of H's traveling expenses that I totally forgot about so I got almost all of David's shopping done! Thank you Amazon.
I had his Santa stuff shipped directly to my sister's house in CA. I sent a huge Lego set he's been wanting and a few lego Mixels for his stocking (I'll buy more stocking stuffers in CA).
We're going to open up gifts from me and H before we leave so we can keep gifts under our tree and he kind of gets two Christmases that way. For that I got him a Lego set he's been wanting but was his second pick for a Santa gift (and it was only like $35!), A Legends of Chima t-shirt, a science kit that comes highly recommended from Amazon, a Chima activity book, several level 2 reading books, and a fairly inexpensive Lego Chima toy he's been wanting. Phew!!! Pretty much done. I need to get some cheap books from Half-Price books and maybe some markers, crayons, paper and scissors and stuff. Maybe a small art kid? Then done!

Or maybe a bad-ass floating shark.
I'm thinking about that. I even have a ton of leftover helium from David's birthday parties. And David kind of loves sharks. DAMMIT, Stephanie! I don't need to spend more money!
I almost bought the basketball mug when you posted but talked myself out of it. My kid genuinely loves both sharks and basketball, lol. I'm drawing the line at a $25 helium balloon, though.
I need advice. Plasma car or Rodys for my kids? They will both be getting these from Santa but I cant pick which one. They're almost 3 & 5.
Plasma car. We have a Rody, and it still gets played with - mainly for climbing and jumping off of - but they are getting a plamsa car this year (my girls are 3 and 5).

Please use your powers for good!
BUT, it's a remote control helium balloon- totally worth 25.00 for 17 mins of fun!

Im trying to scale down. I go crazy every year and spend s crazy amont on toys and most of them are junky but cost a lot. I'm hoping I've learned my lesson and will shop smarter.
