Whatcha thinking about getting the little ones for Christmas?


Son wants Ninjago everything (DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS CRAZE)
Daughter wants barbie house. She doesn't play with the barbies she has.

They'll be getting a little less this year, as I want them each to pick out a toy or two for Toys for Tots.

    My older son 7- we are going to get him a new bike. The younger one still no idea. I do know it will not be legos. We have about a million of those.

    I like that Toys for Tots idea.

    See if you can get the older boy into a hobby or sorts. A friend's daughter just turned nine, she does a mix of archery, cello and rock climbing at the local Y (the rock climbing part at the Y, other parts elsewhere).

    My son isn't asking for much, just a Macbook Pro. :laugh: Not sure what my daughter wants though......hopefully it's something within the $50-$100 range. :happy:

    What do you get for a 7-8 month old! LOL that is the problem that I am having. I have no clue what her other family members are going to get her but what I am going to get her?

    i have 5 kids. they will be with their dad for christmas this year. i won't see them until the 26th.
    i have decided no more little gifts for each individual child. so, this year i am going to get THEM a trampoline and a trip to a place called massanutten, it's a 4 season resort that has skiing and an indoor water park ( which we will hopefully be able to do over new years :-) )

    i'll get them little things for their stockings ( like necessities).

    This is the first year thar Gabriel seems to be asking for EVERYTHING. I keep trying to explain that he's going overboard. Toys R Us has a bunch of Ninjago stuff on sale this weekend I think!

    Stuff she can chew on safely. She's probably teething and trying to chew on everything right now, so soft safe toys like that are great. Those teething rings you can freeze are awesome too. Don't spend too much. They outgrow toys like crazy at that age!

    Things for archery, baking, science kits, microscopes and other fun learning things! I am not big into character toys, but love open ended toys that encourage creativity and skill building. The babies I will probably do a rocking horse and a really neat combination xylophone and hammer toy. Yes, we are nerds, but I love that about us!

    11 year old son wants Lord of the Rings Battle of the Helm Lego set...which is over $100 and he never plays with legos and/or looses them so not likely to get it. Also wants some pc game which we will probably get him.
    9 year old son wants Ninjago legos, a few DS games and a few WII games.
    2 1/2 year old daughter wants any toy they show on tv so she shouldn't be too hard to buy for. I already bought her at Costco that dreamlight unicorn....everytime they show that on tv she tells me she wants it.
    So 1 gift already bought.

    my son is 2.

    so we'll get him clothes, and a couple toys (my wife will surely buy more than a 'couple') and let him play with wrapping paper and the boxes.

    My 11 year old must think I'm loaded. Laptop, iPhone, cash for the mall, telescope that costs a ton. It's really cool though so I'm considering it as a family gifts she looks at me like a crazy person when I ask about smaller gifts.
    My 7 year old boy wants a movie camera, editing software and clay. He's into stop motion movies. I have some ideas.
    My 4 year old will be easy. Pink stuff, dressup clothes and princesses. I miss the days when they all got excited about those kinds of gifts!
