Christmas Toys

[teamhayes]

I've started my shopping and am making lists

What are these fingerling things that keep popping up on my amazin and Facebook?

Are these a thing? Do I need to start collecting these?

What other gifts are musts for your kids this year?

Mills is still super into paw patrol pj masks and the cars series so he is super easy to shop for

[racheliz]

I've started shopping too! I actually bought a fingerling for DD on Amazon last week, but now I'm wondering if I should get one for DS1 (3.5 years old and wants everything his sister has).

I'm keeping a "note" in my phone every time they ask for something and keeping track of what I buy so I don't forget.

DS is into paw patrol and nick jr shows so he should be easy to shop for. DS2 will be a little trickier because he won't need much, but I still have to wrap things because of the older kids. I'm thinking I will buy small things and individually wrap things to make it look even.

Ideas so far, but definitely still needs tweaking.

Oh and Daniel says he just wants tape for Christmas, all different kinds of tape, he's obsessed with it. I've been picking up washi tape, road tape, dry erease tape, anything I see on sale for the last few months, Santa is stuffing his stocking with tape, lol.

[teamhayes]

I can't see your lists!

I've gotten a good dozen things so far but am trying to keep it even

Jump rope was recommended to me so I got the older ones those

Random stuff

I can try to paste my list but need to expand

Mixed reviews on those fingerling things
Prob need 3

What about those mini hatchimals?

Any other thing you all have or want?

Random Christmas question. We will be at the ILs the 24-29th. I was thinking of telling A the 23rd is actually Christmas and doing our Christmas morning at home that day. Is that okay lol?! Pretty sure my MIL won't be happy but how can she get her santa gifts on the 23rd if we don't lie about the actual day? The ILs have been known to give them a single $15 gift so I don't really want to pretend that is their santa gift.

[acr]

Fingerling seems pretty lame - I got one for ds and play value is pretty low as far as I can tell

[teamhayes]

We
Did this for Easter this year

[blane12]

I have a feeling it's going to be a paw patrol Christmas. Both boys are OBSESSED right now.

[nannerl]

We just moved and the older boys really want a fort or treehouse for the back yard, so that will be our Santa gift. A couple of small things and some books and we are done!

[jaime183]

I'd like to keep it small but that never works
They like dress up costumes so I have some of those in mind and they asked for puppets too.
Besides that everything is toys or super heroes and we have so many already

[muppetinma]

It's crazy, but I think we're getting Andrew a laptop for Christmas. Now that he's got technology at school, he's obsessed. DH and I both have fully loaded MacBooks, and I just don't feel safe letting A have full use of them. So we'll pick up some $150-200 simple laptop that he'll be able to use.

Other than that, just space things. I think DH wants to get him a nice telescope, but I might let one of the grandparents get that.

[unclejesse]

We are getting him a bike. I found a site that will do a personalized "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" book, so that is a possibility.

I have no idea what a fingerling is, other than it's a potato.

[mumegs]

I got her a couple of things in the July toy clearance...everything is Barbie right now or Wonder Woman. I just feel like we have soooo much crap I really want to go light this year. DH is on board right now we'll see how he feels closer to Christmas. She keeps saying she wants a unicorn from Santa (a real one) we have been telling her Santa can't make animals. Lol Idk what she will end up asking him for.

[TrudyCampbell]

I randomly bought fingerlings because they were affordable and I heard they'd be hot. I figure if anything I'll give them as gifts to someone else?

Anyone have any fun ideas for craft/art based gifts? A is super into coloring and drawing now and really any crafts. I would prefer not a million small pieces, but I can't think of anything other than play doh and markers which we already have.

[teamhayes]

Light Bright?

Science kit? My girls love theirs. I got it for like $12 on sale and it's just little test tubes and stuff. You mix colors and then "grow crystals."

Oh I'm sure she'd love that! Do you remember which one you got?

A had the Minnie Mouse thing and it was a huge hit for several years!  I also gave one to my friend who has 2 little girls and they both still love them (they're 2 and 4).

Do you remember the Wellie Wisher price or did it come with more than just the doll?

[teamhayes]
