i'm waiting for the kids to get older for this, plus i told my husband when i get to the level of a half marathon i'm going to do the princess half marathon @ disney world we all can go then and make it a family trip!!! :bigsmile:0 -
My daughter wants everything she sees. Last year her favorite gift was her Leapster so I will be buying her the upgraded one this year.0

It's probably the last year we'll have toys under the tree so we're making the most of it
This made me sad. I'm 32 and I still get presents under the tree.
She'll still get presents under the tree of course! I just think she'll probably have outgrown toys by next year0 -
Since mine is still a toddler, I am going to get her a Leapfrog leaptop and some megablocks... and probably a few other things.0

We do the 4 gifts: something you want, something you need, something to play with, and something to read. Keeps them grounded in what they ask for so nothing goes in the toy box on Christmas Day and only removed to donate it. We do combine things like for the need it may be jeans, socks, and underwear. Or play can be a couple lego sets that are related.
Anyway, this year my kids are asking for tablets, guitar, skylander game and figures. My daughter hasnt asked for anything but shes hard to buy for because she doesnt really play with much but I think I am going to get her a karoake machine.0 -
My 9 year old is getting an electric scooter and the xbox 360 steering wheel for a game he has.
My almost 2 year old daughter, well her birthday is December 15, so either for Christmas or her birthday she'll be getting the fisher price princess doll house or a play kitchen. Which ever one she doesn't get for her birthday, she will get for Christmas.0 -
I have two boys, ages seven and three....and absolutely no idea what to get my older boy! He wants toys....but NEVER plays with them lol!
I'll be getting my little guy some farm sets and anything "Cars" that's all he's into lately .
mine are the same age. Getting my 7 year old the Skylanders Giants game... apparently all the craze right now......
No idea about my little man though...... =/0 -

Oh yay!! I thought you ment she had out grown Christmas.0 -
Son is 6. Yep. .Ninjago.. He collects the characters and trades them with his friends. He's dying for more lego sets, but I think he just wants the characters (minifigs) that come in them! . grrr.
I might get him the Ninjago movie on Amazon.
He's also into Looney Tunes lately (I have a dvd). .so I'll probably get another one of those.0 -
Ours wants her first ever game console to be able to do....
Wait for it!
Dance Craze! Yes, EXERCISE! I'M AMUSED! On the other hand, I'm all for it!0 -
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?
Look in any of the stores for gifts marked for that age. Depending on your budget, you can get her/him a toy under $5-10 and deposit $20-50 or more into mutual fund for that child.
Good Idea, I also have a 10 month old boy. My wife set up a Christmas List and Birthday list for him on Target. It is just like a wedding registry, works great for out of town family that want to gift and for all those that don't like gifting money and want to get something that the child does not already have.0 -

You can just buy the minifigs. They come in mystery packs but you may come out cheaper just buying several of those as opposed to the whole set.0 -
My boys are both in to Skylanders, and the new GIants game just came out. We grabbed that one early because last year they characters were impossible to find after Thanksgiving. They also like hiking and geocaching with me, so Santa will probably bring them each an inexpensive handheld GPS they can use to cache with.0

I'm going to thank the DVR gods above for the ability to fast forward through commercials. She sees nothing advertised, she's not bombarded with sales pitches and she's happy with what she's got. That may change later on down the road when she's handed the remote to watch what she wants but now we get her clothes and a couple of toys.0

My son is 2.5 and obsessed with trains, so we're getting him a train table. My daughter, age 5.5, has asked for a horse. Not gonna happen, sweetie! I'm thinking about a play-size stable for her horse figurines.
Both kids want Dream Lites...which will probably get used even less than their pillow pets.0 -

oh my sons love their pillow pets. The oldest has lightening mcqueen and the baby has a panda :-)0 -
My daughter has been asking for EVERYTHING she sees....luckily a stroke of genius hit and I had both kids give a top 5 for Santa.
My daughter's (age 5 ): Easy Bake Oven; U-Draw Tablet for Wii; Wii Game; Dream Lights Turtle; Rudolph (from Build-a-Bear)
My son's (age 11): Everything Skylander (a game & different action figures); Battleship Deluxe; Pokemon Black for his DS
Santa is now happy.0 -
My son is gettin ALL the toys. Santa spoils him rotten on Christmas. My husband never really had much of a Christmas when he was a child, due to how poor his parents were, so I let him go crazy for AJ. It makes him so happy to be able to spoil our child rotten a couple days out of the year (Christmas and AJ's birthday).
Yes, Christmas isn't about the toys, and we raise AJ with that knowledge (we ALWAYS get Toys for Tots, and this year we're having AJ pick an Angel off of the Salvation Army tree), but we don't know if there might come a time in the future where we can't spoil him, so every year we're financially able to do so, we do.
He's a hell of a good kid. He deserves it.0 -
He's a hell of a good kid. He deserves it.
and that's exactly why i spoil my Jbean. GMTA0 -
My five year old daughter will be getting a new bike and my three year old son will be getting his first.0

I'm hoping to get my 5-year-old twins the VTECH Innotab 2 this year; but we'll see. It's my nieces and nephews I'm struggling with (dealing with a range in age from 5 to 15).0

My daughter is four. She'll probably get a another set of Lincoln Logs... She likes to build things, and the wooden logs don't hurt as much as Legos on the bare feet. I suppose some more coloring books, since she's filled most of the ones she has, and probably some more story books.0

Mine are getting LUMPS OF COAL!!!
:laugh:0 -
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?
Open a savings account for the lil one. I heard of parents not getting them anything til they're 3 years old or so because everyone else is givng them something. Parents would put money toward savings instead.0 -
Ugh... My boys are into Ninjago too!! They're also into Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles :yawn:
I just don't 'get' boy toys. The oldest has been taking guitar lessons for a little while now so we're getting him a new electric guitar. And maybe santa will bring mommy some earplugs0 -
Bump for my little guy (5). He doesn't know what he wants for Christmas yet, and there's some good ideas on here.0
