What are you getting your kids for Xmas?

[thejen626]

DD1 (age 5.5) is getting a bike and an American Girl doll with tons of accessories. Also little knick knack toys from Disney. And Maleficent on Blu ray.

DD2 (age 2) a doll stroller from Costco, Disney toys, and a care bear.

[vanillacourage]

DS1 (6)
Kindle Fire Kids w/Minecraft pre-loaded
Sporty clothes - he wants more C9 Target stuff and fewer graphic tees (sniff!)
Legos, always Legos
Lego Movie (bought today for $9, yeah!)

DS2 (2.5)
Not sure. Thinking this: www.amazon.com/Bazoongi-Bouncer-Trampoline-Handle-Bar/dp/B0015INF3K

DS2 is hard because he doesn't want anything marketed to his age, he just wants to play with his big brother's stuff.

They are both getting a bow and suction-arrow set to go with the giant teepee my mom is getting them, that will take up a large corner of our living room. DH is thrilled, lol.

[bronxgirl]

DD turns 5 the first night of Hannukah. For Hannukah she's getting an Elsa dress, a Tiana dress, books, Bitty Baby outfits, a Muppets DVD with a Walter doll, new hairbows and possibly an "it's a small world" doll from Disneystore. My parents are getting her magnatiles. For her birthday we're getting her a party and tickets to see Aladdin on Broadway. My parents are getting her a jewelry box and my aunt and uncle will probably give her a check.

Done! I didn't limit it to boys since a lot of the suggestions in here can be for boys or girls.

[sillygoosegirl]

Some sort of "baby's first Christmas" ornament... Obviously, this is really for enjoying in future years. Nothing else. He or she will be all of a month and a half old by then, if I'm lucky and actually give birth soon.

I also want to pick up a couple of thomas board books because they are obsessed. I want to buy a second corolle doll as well, but DH is putting the brakes on that.

I go back and forth thinking "omg they have too many presents" to "omg I need to buy all the toys".

The girls will have 4-5 different events where they receive gifts.

DD is 5. We've already purchased…

Gifts:
-LeapTV with the dancing game.
-WonderWoman outfit, simple extra outfit, and a Hello Kitty purse for her BuildABear

Stocking:

-Hello Kitty purse
-5 or 6 Lego Minifigs
-Some Supergirl and WonderWoman girly products: sparkly red nail polish, stick on nails, chapstick
-3 pairs of 'Nightmare Before Christmas' socks
-This weird egg thing that you drop in a glass of water and over 2 days it slowly cracks and an alligator hatches and grows. It's weird. We like to do at least one weird, gag gift type thing.

We're still getting…

I don't know. Her stocking definitely seems done. I thought we were done with gifts, but typing it out makes it look really pathetic. The LeapTV and game were nearly $200 on their own though. Maybe we'll splurge on something else or grab a couple simple things to round it out. Maybe the rest of Scooby Doo Team Up comic series, a BF Lego set, or some Super Hero Mashers. She's been eyeing the Super Hero Mashers for a while now and it doesn't seem like anyone else in the family will buy it for her.

I think the grandparents and great-grandparents on my side will buy her Legos and LeapTV games. MIL will probably get her something VeggieTale, as usual.

Where did you get this? DD2 would love it. Also old navy has some super hero shirts for girls and Target has some supergirl pjs with capes on them

 WalMart. I don't know if you'll be able to find it anymore though. They were in with the Halloween junk on an end cap.

[stacyb1983]

In addition to the bike I mentioned, I just signed H and my niece up for Robotics Camp the week after Christmas.

I think H will love it. He is super into science and hands on learning.

Best part, I got a deal on Groupon and paid 1/2 price! I feel very tiger mom meets MMM.

*We went to fit them for bikes and helmets last weekend. We told A we were shopping to help Santa, and made sure he knew exactly what to ask Santa. He was really good about leaving w/o the bike, and then we went to run some errands. We were on our way home when he suddenly realized he hadn't seen Santa and broke down in tears. We forgot to tell him he wouldn't be asking *today*. He's still kinda broke up about it, I'm hoping he comes around before we actually meet Santa. Whoops.

ETA: A's 3rd bday is the 8th, we're making him a wall-mounted art station w/supplies. Soccer goals & cones arrived from the GPs.
