TracyR Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just curious. I have an 11,10,6 amd 3yr old and honestly I don't pay attention to what is out there really so I don't know what the fun toys are this year. Would love to see what others are getting this christmas.

amy g. Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think we are getting a wooden swing set for the new baby and 3 year old to share. Â 11 year old is getting American Girl stuff and sewing supplies. Â 13 year old is getting a few Scout things and money. Â 15 year old is getting a couple of books and more fencing for her animals.

BigMamaBird Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 My dd is getting an AG knockoff from Michael's, I'm going to sew up some clothes for her too. Â My ds is getting a wooden rocking chair from the Cracker Barrel. Â Both of them will probably also get clothes and books from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'm thinking of a ping pong table for the 3 of them, a karaoke machine, and dog training classes for them to take our new pups too. There will be educational items too. I'm looking at the "musIQ" program that someone posted on here that has an electronic keyboard and software. DS11 is desperate for a phone, but that's not happening yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Since my DD 5 has been singing "all I want for Christmas is a pillow pet" she is getting a pillow pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 We have two boys, ages 6.5 and 4. Â They are getting a Quadrilla Twist and Rail marble run set to share. This is a big deal because it's the first year the 4 yo has stopped putting things into his mouth. We could not have marbles around until now. Â They are getting three Lego vehicle kits to share. The least expensive three, because I want to see how they do with these. Legos are also new here due to the mouthing issue that was recently resolved. Â They are each getting a ship from the Star Wars Hasbro collection. Â They are each getting a Potato head - one gets Are-too and one gets the Spud Trooper. Â I also got a collection of Star Wars action figures to break up and stuff into stockings. Â They are both getting a set of 2 pair of Star Wars pajamas. Â Finally, they are both getting a little Lightning McQueen lunchbox with a pair of boxers and a tank inside that can be worn as summer pajamas. The lunchbox is the big deal. They love boxes to carry their stuff around the house in. Â This is the first year we have bought them much of anything. Usually the grandparents send so much stuff to open we haven't felt like they need more. In the past they have had maybe one special gift to share from us and the rest from grandparents. Â This year, I realized they are getting so much more specific in what they like to play with, and the grandparents don't take suggestions at all. And much of what the grandparents send is small and laid aside quickly. I would like for them to have a few things they really like. So I decided to pick some gifts for them. They do not EVER get toys from a store while we are shopping - they don't even ask. They do not watch commercials. They do not make demands on us for toys. It feels good to me to be buying them each a few things I know they will really like for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was getting that Italian marble run, but one day, while hubby was deep in the pump house doing repairs, kiddo met the UPS driver, got the HUGE package, opened it, realized he'd sinned, and buried the box under a mound of toys. The delivery memo I found online actually said "delivered to a male child". Only one here. Â He crumbled early, before the thumbscrews even, and removed all the toys but those covering the stripe running down the place he popped open the flaps of the Amazon box, hoping to the last I would not discover his breach of manners. Confronted at last, he claimed he didn't think it was his Christmas present because it was addressed to me, and if it were for him, it would have been addressed to him. Hmmmmm.

Paula in PA Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Dd's big gift this year is a DS Lite, with games and a case. She's also getting some computer games (horse and vet ones) and books. She's also getting a DVD that must remain nameless as she's been practicing her sneaking-up-and-scaring-mom technique and I want it to be a surprise.

KarenNC Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 My 9yo daughter is definitely getting: a large skelanimal (Kit), skelanimal tshirt, skelanimal candy (all from after Halloween sales---she already has a small Kit, throw and pillow from this set) an Edgar and Ellen dvd set (ditto) Drawing Comics is Easy (except when it's hard) by Alexa Kitchens  possibles: a new bag for her camera (current one is a bit too snug) perhaps with a peace sign embroidered or appliqued on it--if I have time to make it Fashionista Barbie something from the Egyptian playmobil line sampler of different colored duct tape rubiks cube piece of jewelry with peace signs on it  (something from this group will be from one of her grandparents--they give us money to buy and wrap something for her labeled from them)  I know her godmother is getting her another skelanimal, one of the Juku couture dolls and some clothes to go with it.

ChristusG Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 DD5 is getting a gel ant farm with a book about ants. She's getting a lab-in-a-bag set, a Webkinz pug, a Disney Collection storybook, 2 Zhu Zhu hamsters and their carriers, and an iPod Touch. From Santa she is getting a scooter board, a big art set, a table top easel, and a big box of craft supplies. Her stocking will consist of a few magic tricks, a movie, Webkinz cards, new jammies, a few pieces of candy, a Mickey Mouse pen, a small doll, a Squiggle travel drawing pad, a sippy cup, and a Mickey Vinylmation collectible figure. Â DD2 is getting a Webkinz llama, a Wedgits set, a shape sorter, a Disney Collection storybook, magnetic wooden animals to use on our dry erase board, some Animalville figures, 2 Zhu Zhu hamsters and their carriers, and an iPod Touch. From Santa she is getting a scooter board and some wooden block people by Guidecraft. Her stocking will consist of a movie, a small doll, new jammies, a sippy cup, a set of Little People figures, a few pieces of candy.....and I still need a few more things for her stocking. Â Thankfully, my kids grandparents and aunts ask about what they are interested in. I'm really trying to avoid the whole "junk toy and electronic toy" trend this year. I want to steer clear of that from now on. So from various family members, I know that my girls are getting the Playmobil Pet Clinic, gift cards to Build A Bear, a Disney Movie each, unit blocks, a Leapster game, and the Animalville Town Center. I also wrote down things like magazine subscriptions and stuff like that. Very very few actua toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gratefulmother Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 DD8 big gift is going to be a wooden dollhouse to collect miniatures in, if I don't decide I am getting it more for me than for her.

dsmith Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 ds11 is getting a Dell netbook. I'm trying to convince him to get an HP, but he wants green, which HP doesn't make... He will also get one large lego set, a smaller set, Lego Rock Band for Wii, and probably a ds game. My mil and fil got him a really cool book for collecting coins that they found at BJ's, which will be a big hit. They also got him a big Transformers set from BJ's that he has been drooling over. I thought he was over that kind of thing, but I guess not.:001_smile: My mom will get him a Gamestop gift card, and our other family members will get him various gift cards or legos. Â Ds came up with a really great gift for his dad this year - I have to brag! He designed his own chess set on Lego Digital Designer software, and he uploaded it so that we can purchase the kit. Chess is one of the father/son things they often do together. It's a mini chess set, and he thought it would be a good gift for when we travel with dh on business. He really puts a lot of thought into his gifts for everyone. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwlKnits Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 DS is getting a Leapster and some games from us, a hand-sewn cape from his sister, and a few other small things. His birthday is just a few days before Christmas as well. For his birthday he's getting a Buzz Lightyear doll and a tricycle. Â DD is getting a telescope, a hand-made tic-tac-toe set, and I'm not sure what else yet. LOL! Â The biggest problem we're having is that our kids don't NEED anymore toys. In previous years we've done "carnival Christmases" where they have had tons of toys to open...not on purpose, but we have a huge extended family and I usually find things on sale throughout the year and store them away for Christmas/birthdays. We're trying to scale back this year because the kids don't need it and I don't want more junk in my house. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 11,10,6 amd 3yr old and honestly I don't pay attention to what is out there really so I don't know what the fun toys are this year. Would love to see what others are getting this christmas. Â Wow! I have an 11, 10, 6 and 3 yo also! But my 6yo will turn 7 before Christmas. Â We told my dc they are only getting one gift each this year (other than their stocking stuffers) because we are spending the Thanksgiving holidays in NYC to see the Macy's Parade and the Radio City Christmas Show. But, I'm sure we will break down and get them a couple of more small items. We don't do Santa, so they understand that Christmas presents are an expense to us. We usually get each child a book, a game, and two or three other items we know they want or would like. One item is usually a special, higher-priced gift. This year, our trip is the special, higher-priced gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julpost Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have no idea either.

Pippen Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Any ideas for inexpensive gifts, especially for a 13 year old boy? . Â My teen guys really like getting Zits and Foxtrot comic book compilations! Â Things are really tight here too. They were already tight and then my daughter has progressed so rapidly on flute that she needs a higher level model. I didn't expect to do that until much later but the perfect flute for her became available so we're tightening the belt in a big way and making it happen. Â 11yo daughter is getting the Martha Stewart glitter and embossing starter sets. I bought those last summer with 50% off coupons. Â 16yo is getting a new digital metronome/tuner, a furry hat, and a few books. It doesn't sound very exciting but exciting to him these days are expensive electronics. Â My 13yo son has only given me one idea and I couldn't afford that, but I might go with a Leathman Multitool if I can find one on sale. Â Together they'll be getting an inexpensive keyboard from a grandparent. Â Santa will be leaving each of them a 4 pack of Starbucks Frapacinos under the tree.

RoughCollie Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The kids want expensive things, mostly updated high tech items like cell phones, iPods, laptops, desktops, digital cameras. I just cannot fathom buying 3rd generation iPod Touches when we just shelled out plenty of dough for the same thing a couple of years ago. Â Instead, we are going to join the Y. The entire family will go there 3-4 times a week to work out and to play racquetball. Â Of course, they will get other things like books, video games and iPod gift cards.
