Mynyel Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 What do you (or are you) thinking about getting your kids for Christmas? I have a few ideas for my own but am always up for new ones!

~Tara~ Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Not sure what the budget will look like yet..but..if we can do some bigger gifts: Eldest - iPod Yo - Flip video camera Nugget - iPod Doodle - American Girl doll If we can swing only one big gift, it's Yo's turn and he'll get the Flip. (I know some are probably scratching their heads at that..'what do you mean only one of the kids gets a big gift...I'll explain later if needed...it's just how we work around here, it's all good ;) ) I've already gotten some smaller things though. K'nex Snap Circuits DS game magnetic dress up doll (what do you call those? like paper dolls, only, wood and magnets) dinosaur figures sword/shield sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My 12yo son wants some cooking equipment. :D We'll get more Kinect games by trading in a bunch of dh's old games. Probably a Flip camera for the big kids to share. I'm thinking iPod Shuffles for the girls, since they're always "borrowing" my iPods. Board games, books, art supplies, undetermined science stuff. Webkinz and Littlest Pet Shops for various kids. My 3yo son wants a Barbie, so there's that. He's really the one stumping me this year. He has enough "junk", and is still a bit young to appreciate "non-junk", so I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckens Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 For dd3.5: A doll with snaps, buttons, zippers, etc; a zoo version of Candyland; some more animal figures for her collection; new socks and underwear. For new baby: legwarmers....and to just get here safely! (5 days until C-section). Usually I get Loverboy a robot (to assemble and play with dd3.5), but I haven't found anything inspiring this year. Maybe I will get him a remote control car. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My son will be getting a video camera and some software to edit it. My daughter is big into Ramona Quimby right now, so she has been asking to do the "longest picture in the world" -- for Christmas we're going to get her a ridiculously long roll of butcher paper, lots of new paints, and about 30 of us relatives to help her get it going over the course of an afternoon (brunch, painting, dinner). They'll each also get some kits - he likes rockets, she likes horses. And underwear. Every year they get new socks and undies :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 We only get our kids one big gift each. Dd 12 - underwater camera Dd 10 - keyboard Dd 6 - bike Ds 5 - bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Both of my DD's are very into Disney princesses, Tinkerbell, the new Rapunzel movie, and Toy Story. So yes, Disney gets our money from both vacations and Christmas gifts as well LOL. I just received a box from the Disney store online yesterday. It has Rapunzel shirts, a Jessie shirt, a Tinkerbell shirt, and four sets of toy figures (Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Dalmations, Bambi). I'll probably get them a stuffed animal each too. We're really cutting down this year. Last year they had a big Christmas with art sets, iPod Touches, etc. I'm cutting Christmas down to 3 gifts each (which is what Jesus got from the Wise Men), stocking stuffers, and a couple of gifts from Santa. Stocking stuffers include books, a Mario DVD each, Family members are getting them Rapunzel dresses, Rapunzel bowls/plates, lip balm, storybooks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittleWonders Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 We're still trying to finalize ds#2's birthday presents, but on the short list for Christmas ideas are: Legos Play Mobile Yo-yos (the older two want a real one; ds#3 wants a new Yo-Yo ball as his broke) Nerf things Think Fun games (especially the Solitaire Chess for ds#2 - he LOVES chess) Easy Bake Oven (for ds#3 - he loves to help cook, and he loves "little" things ... he was bummed when I told him the play kitchens in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog were just for play and didn't really work) We usually get one collective item for them all - we are thinking either a new microscope with some prepared slides (the Sonlight one) or making the Play Mobile stuff a group item. Then they usually each get something individual that is "big" and then a couple smaller things/stocking stuffers. Oh, and usually something to wear (clothing, pajamas or slippers) are wrapped. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Our kids are so similar in age!! My dd is 13, ds is 7, and dd is 3. Dd 13 is getting some new decorative bedroom stuff, an iPod (refurbished), and some little thing like CD's, oh...and I'll admit it, a few Twilight dolls. DS 7 is getting a little video camera (not an expensive one, but he loves making movies), Star Wars Lego's, Spy Gear stuff, World of Zoo for his DS, etc. Dd3 is easy:). She loves anything crafty, books, shoes (odd, I know!). Nit sure what her big gift will be yet:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Since mine are teens, they are asking for: fancy cell phone (14 dd) acoustic guitar (19 ds) Playmobile Eygptian pyramid (SillyAutismBoy, er Man - also 19) and one girl, 17, has no idea what she wants (yet). I have told the non-autistic kids that they may only get ONE thing if they insist on asking for costly items! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
