Their big ones are from Santa. Then as we wrap, DH gets the Santa paper and whatever he wraps is from Santa. I get the mom/dad wrapping paper and whatever I wrap is from us. Unless there is a specific reason for a present to come from Santa or us, we don't care. Get it wrapped and tagged.
Just the big Jabba's Palace Legos and a Charlie Brown plush doll. In his stocking are foam stickers, notecards, pencils, a charlie brown backpack clip, darth vader backpack clip, and of course lots of candy/snacks.
We bought them a new kitchen, a basketball hoop for DS, and the singing Ariel doll for dd.
As an aside, we are giving their old kitchen to a family in need. I want those kids to have the kitchen in time for Christmas. My kids are going to wonder where the eff their kitchen went until we give them the new one on Christmas day. Any ideas?
One, the big one. This year it's a dollhouse, last year it was a play kitchen. We'll set it up and she'll 'find it'.
That's what SIL is doing. My nephew is getting a big boy bed and dresser and night stand. Christmas Eve he's going to sleep in their room while we all set it up

"Santa called and he is bringing something really big that we need to make room for! He suggested taking your old kitchen to XYZ so the kids in need could use it. Can you please help me do this? I know the family will LOVE your help!!!"

Is it terrible that we haven't ever marked what was from who in the past? Just wrap them all, put their names on, and throw them under the tree, lol. I suppose we should probably start thinking about that, since at 5 DD1 may start to notice these small details.
We're combining Santa gifts into one big gift for both kids. We got a 2 seat Ford Mustang ride-on car. We don't have room for two cars and we didn't want the older one saying it was her car.....so they both get to share.
Scooter Snow boots Umi zoomi remote control car Crayola dry erase set Dream light ( Santa has been holding this for months as the big potty training prize)
We'll add stocking stuffers, slippers, books to this
Are stocking stuffers usually candy and small junky little things? I've always wondered about that.
It varies, DH's family will put a bigger item (gift card/dvd/etc) in them. My family it was always small random stuff that would typically be bought at some point or a small special treat like candy.

Yes, for us. Boys will get dvds, dolls, and then probably gummy oranges. Jake and I do dollar store stockings and I can't wait until the boys are old enough (we'll probably pick names out of a hat or something like that). Strict 10pretax limit.
