Holiday gifts

[Patsy Baloney]

DD is 6.5 (actually closer to 7 now! My baby!)
She’s getting -
An insane amount of Rainbow and Lush bath bombs because she’s fancy
Books, including an illustrated version of Anne of Green Gables from me
Pokémon Shield from her dad
Santa is bringing a scooter
Boards games - cat crimes and Clue
A science kit and a magic kit (she’s a twiddle bug and likes acting, so I think she’ll get a big kick out of it)
And I passed off my old phone to her to use for music, so we’re going to put a few new songs and build some playlists for her

DS is 6 months (will be 8 months by Christmas)
He’s getting -
A Mozart cube
Bath toys
Stacking cups
A little people garage and cars
Board books
A stuffed Elmo
A sensory ball

Ds 5.5
Hot wheels large car wash thing
Nintendo switch games (Mario Olympics and Luigi mansion 3)
Mario and sonic pjs
Magic treehouse books and lots of others

Dd 3
Sandbox
B toys microphone
Hotdog cart
Play dough
Belle dress

Lots of smaller things for both too but I think that’s the big stuff.

DD is 2 and we just got her a trampoline for her birthday so we're looking at smaller stuff for the holidays.

To be split between St Nicolas and Christmas:
Play dough
Paints & paper
Duplo blocks
More play food
Books
PJs
A shopping basket
Playmobil helicopter
Match the animal cards
Cups etc for the bath

She's also getting DH's old play airport (if it isn't a complete lead paint choking hazard 80s toy)

On my list to probably buy later: ikea easel, balance bike, more transport playmobil type stuff (car, plane, truck, etc), more drawing stuff.

DD (5) really wants a camera, any recommendations? I don't want to do one of the polaroid types, she tends to take a million pictures of nothing, but a digital one. Looking at websites, seems like cameras aren't a think anymore (which I totally understand), so hard to figure out what to get.

These were linked in another gift thread from this year.  No first hand experience, I just have both of them on my amazon list as considerations for my 3yo.

gerberdaisy, I am getting this one for my 8-year-old. I don't want a "kid" one for her because I'm afraid she will think it's too childish (but for a 5-year-old, the VTech ones might be perfect). It's reasonably priced with good reviews:
