Kid Christmas gifts

[countthestars]

What are you getting your kids? I'm at a loss for both kids. DD wants every small junky thing in the store (she's 3). DS really doesn't need ANYTHING.

I'm thinking maybe an anywhere chair for him. No ideas for her - I imagine she'll get all the little stuff from other people.

I saved this thread from a few weeks ago.

C is 3. She always get a ton. That's how I like Christmas. Things she's getting or may get:

A mermaid blanket
A Flip-A-Zoo
A magic hat
Code-A-Pillar
A preschool microscope
DC Superhero Girls action figures
Paw Patrol Air Patroller
Slingshot
Unicorn horn
Board games
Books

My parents got her this castle and figures which I think she'll love: www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp?productItemID=1%2C689%2C949%2C371%2C931%2C386&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&bmUID=1477875139171

I think my FIL will do memberships this year (zoo, science center, etc).

[Poeticxpassion]

I am getting DS some giant foam blocks. He will also get some books but I'm not sure about anything else.

[dcn]

We are getting ds1 (4) a bike and some books and pjs and not much else. I have stuff like a marble run, think and code caterpillar, remote control bulldozer on his Amazon list for grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Ds2 is probably just getting hand me down toys. He will be one and won't care at all. I have a few things on his amazon list for family but don't plan to buy anything for him.

[Pilsy]

This year, she'll be between 2.5 and 3, and I plan to get her a ladybug umbrella and a stamp set, because she loves stamps and has specifically requested the umbrella. Other than clothes and books, I don't give her anything throughout the year, so I'll probably find a few more things (probably crafts/activities/games if I can find age-appropriate stuff), but I try to keep it small. Like your kids, she doesn't need anything.

My parents are getting her a bedroom set, which will be $$$, but I know it won't really be exciting for her. Oh, I will have her pick out some bedding, which may or may not seem fun to her.

[cricketwife]

For DS (eTA, , also 3 yo) -- things I've bought or am considering:

magnatiles
Games-- uno moo, sneaky snack squirrel, candy land, i think I have a few others marked that I can't remember
Bruder cement mixer
Superhero dress up capes
Thomas trains and track
M&D standard unit blocks
Floor puzzles
Take apart truck/airplane
Learning resources jumbo animals
Bath toys -- boon jellies and Alex shaving kit
Books - (goes w/o saying )

[sometimesrunner]

DS (4.5) is getting legos and books. I need to find something else, though. DD (6 months) is getting a water table (our old one was kind of boring), a mini back pack, some board books ("girly" ones), and maybe some bows.

[carolinagirl831]

DD1 (3) - from us- a micro mini scooter, paw patrol figurines (which she already has but she wants ones that are not stuck in vehicles, she asks everyday for this lol), books, wooden name puzzle, Lion guard figurines, my little pony- specifically- Luna and Minty and bitty baby from grandparents

DD2 (18 months) obviously needs nothing with a sister two years older... but...
from us- little people princess castle, a pillow pet (because sister has one), skip hop back pack, wooden name puzzle, bitty baby from MIL, and wooden cradle for dolls from my mom

More magnatiles  as a family gift

Movies- Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story

I'm a Christmas nut and I feel like this christmas is really small... I can't think of anything to buy... hmm must mean they are too spoiled..

[smile]

DD is 3 and will have a birthday soon after Christmas. She has consistently asked for more legos, "baby stuff", and more paints and colors.

Already purchased:
Code-a-Pillar
Legos
D.C. Girl Superhero set
Books

To Be Purchased:
Babydoll accessories
Art supplies

Still considering:
Dollhouse

[ssmjlm]

Finding Dory is available for pre-order in Amazon prime. I'm adding that to E's list.

[moopoint17]

From us, they'll get Paw Patrol stuff. I bought them a table and chairs and they'll each get 1 toy (not sure which ones yet). And they also need new sneakers.

Santa is getting them each an RC toy (helicopter for DS1 and Thomas the train for DS2) plus stocking stuffers (playdoh, hot wheels cars, other small stuff).

DS1 is asking Santa for a Hatchimal. Sorry kid, that ain't happening!

[mellymel]

Both kids are getting Hatchimals - already purchased

DD (age 3.5) wants:
Fur Real Friends - Bootsie
Little Live Pets - Blue Bird
Pete's Dragon Movie
Pete's Dragon Toys
PJ Masks Toys

DS (age 5.5) wants a million things! He circled everything he wants in the Toys R Us and Target toy catalogs and here are just a few of the things:
Harry Potter movies box set
Cars Mack Playset
Lego spider people bridge set
Hanna Andersson Viking hat
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-Alarm Clock Radio
The Good Dinosaur DVD
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-Mega Bloks Battle Truck
Mebo Robotic Claw

[trufflefries]

DD will be 3 in November. So far on my list:

Code a pillar
Easel and art supplies
Toms sparkle shoes (she has a pair she's worn to pieces and need to be replaced)
Kitty surprise
Maybe a small trampoline? Haven't decided.
Board games (getting her candy land for her birthday)

DD 2 hasn't been born yet but is due 12/4. Going to get her a fisher price seahorse, some books, and a wrap for her (aka me).

[cincodemayo]

At a total loss for the 3yo. Santa is bringing slippers, a DVD, socks, and either the Code a pillar or a Matchbox car ramp thing. We will get him some games and art stuff.

The baby is getting Little People musical preschool and a few baby books.

[cincodemayo]

Do we think a 3.5 year old could "work" a Hatchimal? DS has that picked out but it seems advanced for him.

I'm debating this too. I have one but I'm not sure if we're giving it to her yet.

[Deleted]

Well Ben wants a black Doc McStuffins bike so I'm trying to figure out how to make that happen.

[jeaniebueller]

DD is getting a play kitchen and done accessories for her baby dolls. Plus a few extras like books and a movie.

DS is getting Hamilton tix as his big gift from us and not sure what else from Santa. He wants a board game and ill probably get him a DVD.

[bookqueen15]

DD is 2.5. On my list so far:

Magnatiles
Matchbox Car wash
Dollhouse
Learning Resources jumbo animals
Usborne books
Playdough accessories
Flashlight

[krystee]

Duplos
Books
A set of HA train jammies that I love (he's a big train fan)
A Buzz Lightyear (H is weirdly insistent on this--I don't even think J knows what it is!)
A toddler table

[scribellesam]

DS1 is 4.5 and getting a bike, DS2 is 2 and will get a trike, and they'll each get a filled stocking. That's it from us, although they get plenty more from extended family on both sides.

[christy082]

My daughter will be 22 months. H and I are getting her clothes and feeding accessories for her Baby Stella, a sit and spin, Christmas pajamas, and a playtool kit.

From the grandparents I know she is getting a play kitchen, kids trampoline and picnic table. And my grandma is getting her a train table and the Little People Christmas train.

[tcu2003]

DS will be 4-1/2. On the list are:

Bicycle (Santa gift)
Soccer goal
Legos (probably another basic set of blocks and maybe the DC Superheroes Lego Jr set he doesn't have)
Trouble
Hi Ho Cherry-O
Nerf Gun (I am not excited about this, but I think my BIL is going to get him one)
Books
Art supplies
Finding Dory DVD

DD will be 4 months and she doesn't need anything. I need to figure out a Santa gift. From us, it'll probably just be a few new books and maybe a bath toy or Sophie the Giraffe teether.

Did you find a microscope with good reviews for that age group? Dd will be 3.5 and i was looking for one. Thanks!

[abs]

DD is almost 6. Her list changes daily.

Her birthday is next month. She's getting a Wellie Wisher doll, Shopkins, an art caddy from Lakeshore Learning, a sticker maker, and books. MIL is getting her the PJ Masks headquarters. I think she won't play with it but we will see.

For Christmas her big Santa gift is the AG pop up camper. She is also getting a snap circuits set, a board game, and more books. After that I haven't decided. I'm considering the shopkins dollhouse, Samantha AG set from Costco, AG kitchen, a beginner pogo stick, Nintendo 2DS, and another Wellie Wisher doll. Stocking will be art supplies, a DVD, and Shoppies dolls.

My list looks much different from last time we did this! The toy books helped. She specifically said no Legos. She is asking for all the new Doc McStuffins toys but I don't think they would get played with. She spends most of her spare time drawing or playing with dolls so her gifts will reflect that.

[thebreakfastclub]

DS is almost 4.

He wants one of those almost real-like puppies that you feed and walk, some type of Ninja Turtles playset and a construction set with kinetic sand.

He's also talked about more Paw Patrol stuff, but we'll see.

I'll add a DVD and maybe a puzzle with buttons and snaps. That's about it.

[felicity]

DS will be 2 and from us he is getting magnatiles and matchbox cars. His birthday is a month before and we are getting him a Strider bike. Will probably give a few books for bday and Christmas too.

[luckyno7]

DS (7), DD1 (5), DD2 (18 months)

My kids are so spoiled and G&G are getting them a ton of stuff.

Santa is getting the older 2 Star Wars I - III DVD set and the Lego Death Star. From us they are each getting a Lego set.

DD2 - Skye stuff from Paw Patrol and a toy pig you put toy coins in.

[1yeartogo]

I posted in the other thread but one thing my dd (4) wants is transformer letters. I had never heard of them but apparently they have them at her preschool they are letters that transform into fun little guys. We are going to ask a relative to get it for her. I think learning resources sells them.
