Sex: Female Age: ~18 months in December Clothing size: just getting in to 18 months Favorite things/toys: loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, books, crafts, bath time, puppies What would you HATE to receive: Unfortunately hates things on her head, so bows/hats probably wouldn't be great (though I wouldn't HATE them!!) We already have 1 million pieces of play kitchen food/plates/cups. Anything else you want to share about your child? We celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah so anything "holiday themed" would be fine in either holiday .
Sex: F Age: 20m @ Christmas Clothing size: 18-24 Favorite things/toys: What would you HATE to receive: She does have a lot of books and is getting more for Christmas, so I would say they're not at the top of the list. Anything else you want to share about your child? She is very into how things work. She's obsessed with buckles and wanted to use my little drill yesterday to help me build some ikea furniture.
Sex: M Age: 14 mos Clothing size: 12-18 mos. Shirts, he's closer to 12, pants, closer to 18 for length. He has a giant head, so hats are more like 24 mos/2T range Favorite things/toys: Loves his dogs (a Cairn and a Wheaten terrier), and is very into animal-themed toys and books right now. Loves books (though we have a lot, there are still some on his list). Also enjoys anything that can be banged on or banged together What would you HATE to receive: I really try to avoid too many plastic/electronic toys, especially if they aren't marketed as "green", or BPA/pthalate free. He has a lot of Green Toys, Hape, Plan and B Toys that we like. Anything else you want to share about your child? He loves stuff with lots of details right now. Buttons, places to put things, laces...I've been thinking about one of those dress me dolls or activity boards, but I haven't seen one I love yet (admittedly haven't looked very hard)

Sex: F Age: 25 months Clothing size: 24 mo/2T Favorite things/toys: Right now she's loving her doctor kit. She also really likes to put things in order - so fill and spill, stacking block type things, etc. What would you HATE to receive: n/a Anything else you want to share about your child? We leave for the UK for 2 weeks on 12/18 - no pressure, but if you can get her gift off before then, great. Otherwise, we won't get it until the new year. Along those lines, anything that might make the 2 6+ hour flights more bearable would be great!
What would you HATE to receive: Without knowing what's on her book wish list, it may be difficult to not duplicate what we already have. Still, we love books and any duplicates would just go to Grandma's and still be very loved.
Anything else you want to share about your child? I find these helpful so I am responding. Really though, please know that neither C nor I are picky. We will love anything you may choose to send. C loves to help me clean lately, she's into building things, she's finally beginning to show an interest in coloring and painting. Outside of these parameters, specific things I am pretty sure would be a hit: bowling, triangle crayons (she hates when crayons roll off the table).
Sex: Female Age: She will be 9 months at Christmas Clothing size: She is growing fast! She is in mostly 9 month stuff now Favorite things/toys: She likes books and wooden toys the best. What would you HATE to receive: Things that make noise for no reason. I always have music on so a few of her toys play classical music and she likes that (she dances to it lol).
Clothing size: 18 months or 18-24 months (some is still big on her but that's ok)
Favorite things/toys: Anything that she can manipulate, Daniel Tiger, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, puppies (pugs!), buckles, crafts,
What would you HATE to receive: She won't wear any hair accessories so those sadly wouldn't get used other than that I can't think of anything!
Anything else you want to share about your child? She will be getting a kitchen from Santa so any accessories for that might be great. She has the Ikea kid apron but it's massive on her so a toddler apron would be adorable.
Sex: Male Age: He will be 8 months at Christmas Clothing size: He is currently in 9 mo stuff, but some of it is starting to get a little snug. I think he will probably size up in the next 3-4 weeks Favorite things/toys: He loves things that make music, wooden toys, and crinkly sounding toys What would you HATE to receive: Nothing that I can think of
Sex: Male Age: 9 months at Christmastime Clothing size: Probably 12 months, or 6-12 Favorite things/toys: Books, anything he can put in his mouth What would you HATE to receive: I can't think of anything Anything else you want to share about your child? He is easy! If you have an older kid that loved something around his age and I don't have it on Elfster, I love personal recommendations
Sex: male Age: at xmas 9.5 months Clothing size: 12 months Favorite things/toys: he currently loves anything he can put in his mouth. Yay teething. What would you HATE to receive: I don't think we'd hate anything except if someone was to send us a snow suit or something like that. We'd have no use in South Florida Anything else you want to share about your child? He's not picky yet, so he would be happy with anything
I think pugz and Brie are mods. I might have missed the draw, but if I didn't ...
Sex: Boy Age: 14 months Clothing size: 12-18m for winter clothes, 24m for spring clothes Favorite things/toys: ducks, bags, baby signing time What would you HATE to receive: Toys that play short little songs
Sex: Male Age: 19.5 months at Christmas Clothing size: 18 month shirts. Needs 24 month pants for length, but ideally 12 mo for waist. Sweatpants and adjustable waists are our friends, lol. 2-3 yr old size socks Favorite things/toys: toddler musical instruments, cars he can scoot on. Our play kitchen (which is plastic and lives on our patio, so we mostly have plastic kitchen stuff). Cars/trains/etc that we can push on the floor. We have no train stuff other than the stuff that just came in our Citrus Lane box. We'd always love more board books/lift the flap books/etc! We love wooden toys and quiet plastic toys. We'd love more bathtub friendly stuff! What would you HATE to receive: Anything large or electronic toys that are noisy. We live in a small 1 bedroom (lots of outdoor space at least!) and I am very prone to migraines. Anything else you want to share about your child?
We'll be away Dec 18-28th, so I'll be mailing my package prior to the 18th. I do have a concierge who can sign for and hold packages for me, but don't be alarmed if you don't hear from me during that time.
Sex:Male Age:currently 15 months, will be almost 18 months at Christmas Clothing size: Solidly 18 months, some 24 month stuff Favorite things/toys: Everything! Especially things that make noise. What would you HATE to receive: Things that make noise No seriously, things that make noise are fine. I guess things that have a shitton of little pieces that get everywhere for the dogs to eat. Anything else you want to share about your child? He's not picky, and neither am I
Sex: F Age: will be 5 months Clothing size: 6 months Favorite things/toys: She is just now starting to notice toys. What would you HATE to receive: No! I'm not sure how to avoid duplicates, but we will be grateful for anything. Anything else you want to share about your child? We are not picky and love gifts! DD is our first, so we'd love things that have been hits in your household. Books, small toys, clothes, whatever! She is a happy baby who loves to "chat." We sing/talk/read often, and she loves bathtime.

Sex: F Age: will be just about 10 months at Christmas Clothing size: Right now she is in 6 month clothes so I guess 9-12 months. Favorite things/toys: Anything that crinkles or makes a noise. She puts everything in her mouth. Very into sparkly things.
We love books and have a lot of the classics but would love to get some of the less known books. Ill also put some on her wishlist. What would you HATE to receive: Nothing comes to mind. We are pretty open to ideas or if you have an older kids, maybe some of the things they liked as a 10-12 month old. Anything else you want to share about your child - I am in Canada so to make things easy for you, I made a wishlist on amazon.ca. You should be able to see it on elfster. Amazon.ca still has free shipping over $25 so I thought it might be helpful and save on your crossborder shipping costs (always MM ).

Sex: Boy Age: Turning 3 in late November Clothing size: Just moved up to 3T Favorite things/toys: Thomas the Tank Engine, Curious George, puzzles, books, dogs, playing make-believe What would you HATE to receive: DVDs -- we started letting him watch Thomas or Sesame Street in the morning, and now he begs to watch TV constantly. Trying to nip this before it gets out of hand. Anything else you want to share about your child? Not sure what else to share -- send me an anonymous message through Elfster if there is anything else you want to know!
Sex: girl Age: 2.5 around Christmas Clothing size: 3t Favorite things/toys: loves books, baby dolls, coloring stuff, train set. What would you HATE to receive: PLAYDOH. DON'T YOU DARE! no but seriously I will cut you. Anything else you want to share about your child? she is very easy to entertain. Loves animals.
Favorite things/toys: Doc McStuffins, Daniel Tiger, Frozen, baby dolls, playing pet store with her many, many stuffed animals. She also loves board games.
What would you HATE to receive: We wouldn't HATE to receive anything, but clothes are hard since she's super tall and skinny, and we have enough play kitchen stuff to last six lifetimes.
Anything else you want to share about your child? Not about my child, but the shipping address I use is for my office, so if you can use my real name when you address it, that would be great. Also, I'll be out of the office from Dec. 19-Jan. 5, so if there's any possibility the gift can be delivered before then, that would be fantastic. If not, just message me for my home address. Thank you so much! DD will be so thrilled to get a package that's just for her.
Sex: male Age: 6 Clothing size: S or M Favorite things/toys: Lego, he likes playing with snap cubes at after care, minecraft What would you HATE to receive: Craft supplies and books, we have lots of both so would likely duplicate. Anything else you want to share about your child? He really loves Lego and recently starting looking through my Lego books and making his own things. He's getting a big Lego table where we can sort pieces for Christmas. I put some ideas on Elfster.
Sex: Girl Age: 3 Clothing size:4T Favorite things/toys: Books, stickers, Hape dollhouse (she is still earning furniture with poop on the potty), dress up clothes, chess, SuperWhy What would you HATE to receive: anything with glitter. Please! No glitter! It is like the herpes of crafts...it never goes away! Anything else you want to share about your child? She is a quirky child and a little introverted. She does not like loud toys.
Sex: M Age: 2 Clothing size: 2 T , 24 m Favorite things/toys: Trains, cars, Peter Rabit, Legos What would you HATE to receive: Things that play short little songs or make noise just to make noise. He does really like wooden toys :-)
I promise I will update his wishlist by this weekend.
Sex: My girl-girl twins will be sharing their gift. Age: They will be 10 months old at Christmas. Clothing size: I think they'll be in 9-12m by the holidays, but they're short, chubby, and cloth diapered, so sizing is a bit wonky. Favorite things/toys: They're 8 months old so it seems like it's changing everyday! Also, typical baby things.... crinkly toys, mirrors, whatever is in my sister's hand. What would you HATE to receive: Barney DVDs? Live animals? Things that are giant? We'd be happy with most selections! Oh, please no Elmo. Anything else you want to share about your child? If there's an option, we're trying to avoid getting the pastel "girl" version of things. They have plenty of girly things, but also wear cute (in my opinion gender neutral!) clothes from the boys section of the store and will play with "boy" toys. We're flying over the holidays, so one idea is something that would be good for plane amusement. But honestly we're easy! If you have older kids I'm sure my girls would love whatever your kids loved at 10 months.
Sex: F Age: 10.5 months at Christmas time Clothing size: 12-18 months for spring/summery stuff (winter is so short here) Favorite things/toys: toys that play music and/or light up, books with animals What would you HATE to receive: footed pjs (she can't wear them), stuffed animals, things that take up a lot of space, cold weather stuff Anything else you want to share about your child? I know that O will love whatever she gets!!
