SKL Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A horse (not happening), a personalized horse halter, a collector Breyer holiday horse, a dog (not happening), a polar bear cub (definitely not happening), money, pajamas, an iphone holder for running, ear muffs ... not sure what I'm forgetting. Surprises for one kid will be books, jeans, and purple socks. The other kid, I'm not sure. I also got them each a jewelry box and a novelty backpack.

Sherry in OH Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Boys ages 12 and 10, both want LEGO and Nerf. They bought each other Nerf guns. I will buy each of them a LEGO set, although probably not any of the sets they specified. They are also getting books and rc helicopters.

HomeAgain Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have no idea. We didn't ask them. We created a list based on their interests, what we want for them, and what's within our budget. I'm sure they'll love nearly everything, as they have previous years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Both asked for one specific book each. It's a skinny year for gifts. Mine are college/grad school (aka broke college kids!) age and many gifts are practical. I like giving them things I know they will use so they can spend money on things that they want that I am clueless about or don't have their same taste and wouldn't get what they'd like. We try to give something fun too, but practicality rules at our house. Edited November 26, 2018 by Angie in VA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenneinCA Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Socks, they all want socks. My oldest is in Flagstaff, Arizona. The middle child is in New York. Both of them want warm feet. The youngest just wants to be like his siblings. And candy. Mint chocolate for the oldest. Peanut butter for the middle kid. And the youngest will eat anything. So they are getting socks and candy.

PeachyDoodle Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Not that much really. They never do. They have way more than they could ever use. We are overdue for a trip to Goodwill and we just went not that long ago. They are the only niece/nephew/grandkids on both sides, though. So they have tons of people clamoring to buy for them. Everybody loves to buy for kids at Christmas. It's only Cyber Monday and we've already had multiple instances of people double-buying gifts. The despite my attempt at keeping a promptly updated Google spreadsheet accessible by every adult in both families, lol! At least folks have time to return stuff... DD wants a dragon drawing book, the new Wings of Fire release, and a couple Lego sets. DS wants some Legos, a toy UPS truck, and a Newton's Cradle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaCarter Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Ds- Nintendo Switch (nope), laminator (yes) Dd- sweater (😂), backpack, Fitbit, tent.

LucyStoner Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) My sons Age 15: He has asked for basically nothing. He mentioned needing new non-school clothes and I reminded him his allowance has been piling up unspent and it's supposed to cover his basic clothing. So he went online and Black Friday shopped himself 3 pairs of jeans and 3 or 4 shirts. He mentioned wanting the Bullet Journal Method book when it was on the radio. As a result, his gifts are kind of a pile of boring. Earbuds, the book he asked for, a bullet journal and pens to use with the book he asked for, a hoodie and a tile for his wallet and keys. Plus his stocking, which is again a bit of a snoozer. Cufflinks, grooming set + the usual stocking stuff. I need to jazz it up a bit BUT HE HAS ASKED FOR NOTHING ELSE. Age 9: He's asked for: Harry Potter Legos, Boss Monster The Next Level and paper. He's getting from us: HP Legos, paper, a nice pencil sharpener, other art supplies, books, a hoodie and stocking stuff. I have it on good authority he's getting Boss Monster the Next Level for his birthday in December. My nieces and nephews Age 16: money, movie tickets, clothes. I am considering just giving them cash and a stocking. Age 12: A video game I will not buy him. From us, he's getting Percy Jackson Books, Zelda Breath of the Wild and art supplies. Age 11: Copic markers, Harry Potter Legos, cosplay supplies, ukelele From us, I am getting 6 copic markers, some clothing items, a book in a series they are reading and some photography stuff. The legos and ukelele are coming from their dads. Age 9: LOL stuff. I'm not sure what these are but the one I got is in a large sparkly purple half globe. Also, legos, giant hair bows and such like. I have purchased her a caboodle for the hairbows and other doo dads, some books, the LOL thing I described and some clothing. The legos and bows and other things are coming from her dads. I have a lego set for her January birthday. Edited November 27, 2018 by LucyStoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 DS (15) cello or piano DS (13) drum set or desk and computer monitor DD (7) drum set or pony These kids have expensive wants this year! I do love that musical instruments have become their most wanted items. Oldest will get his (used) piano, middle his desk and monitor (he already has an electronic drum set), and youngest a kid-size drum set. They won't be getting much more since everything they want is so expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A dragon. Don’t tell DD, she will want one as well! 7 yr old DD, self-titled “warrior child” (call her princess at your peril) wants MouseTrap, a Breyer horse, and playmobil Dragonrider stuff. Plus possibly some doll accessories (a science lab thing and an inventor lab? Something like that.) And books. She finished Magic Tree House, and is almost done with all of the Merlin Missions that came next. All 4 billion of them in two months. Any suggestions? DS14 has not said he wants anything specific but we’re going with cosplay supplies, art supplies, a nice camera, and clothes. There will be some other things, of course, but I don’t know what yet. And books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeless Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 DS10 asked for Life of Fred books, books on Roman history, and more Horrible Histories books. He also asked for a board game called "Forbidden sky". He made a few vague comments about wanting Legos and K'nex, but I think he only said that because he didn't really know what to ask for. We're skipping the k'nex (he has several sets that only get played with if I prod him), and getting one Lego set. DH got him some sort of little programmable robot thing and a video game. I'm hitting up Thrift Books and filling a huge box. I"m trying to find some sort of science kit for him, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 DD#1: some Disney games for her DS, some Zelda books, piano music for Frozen songs - she's getting all those things. She also wants new bedroom decor, but that will be for her birthday in January. DD#2: anything and everything she sees. (Spoiler alert: She's not getting all of it!) DS: "A present." What do you want inside the present? "A box." What do you want inside the box? "Um...a spinning top!"

J-rap Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My kids are all young adults... They're more into experiences and not adding junk to their tiny apartments. They're not really asking for anything specific though, so, I plan to give them each an "experience" (tickets to a concert, for example), a clothing item (a warm sweater, or hat and mittens, etc.), and a book.

linders Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 DS18 - a new phone.He dropped his in June "when yellow jackets attacked me" and the screen cracked into many pieces, but with a new screen protector it has been hanging in there (sort of) and working (mostly). I guess he has suffered enough 🙂. And leather driving clothes. Ever so useful where we live - in the South - where it gets cold a couple days a year. But he has asked for them for 2 years. DS15 - an Amazon Dot (DH got it half price), and shark slippers. We just returned from a trip where, of all things, he saw these awesome shark slippers at a Swedish goods store. They were for kids, so not for his size 11 feet. I found some that were nearly identical for adults on Amazon and bought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
