What is everyone getting their kids for Christmas?

We went and got Braedin his big gift tonight.

For Braedin:
His big gift which is one of those tables with the big wood train tracks and train sets and bins that go under the table to hold the trains and such. I'm so excited about it.
Board books. He loves being read to, so I want to get more of them I think I bought him 3 or 4 so far.
A couple outfits.

And I am not sure what else to get him. And what do you give a 1 yr old for stocking stuffers? blink.gif

and some movies.

Brandon:

No clue yet.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Wow, you guys buy a lot! We don't do too much for Xmas. I figure the boys get enough throughout the year and from other family, that I don't want to over-do it on just one particular day. But that's just me. They are still so young that if I give them too much, they get overwhelmed and lose interest.

They each will get a shaker car for Hannukah. And we may buy them both the track.

For Xmas, Wil is getting: the game Cariboo, the Jungle Book DVD and........ wacko.gif I forget.
Wesley is getting: a large tug boat for the bath with other accessories, one of those Leap Frog letter magnet things that go on the frige....Gosh, I got each of them three things, but I can't remember what the third things are!! I'm losing it you guys! Only three things to remember and I can't even do that. My brain went in the toilet with my flu this weekend. sleep.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Opposite here. During the year they usually only get presents for birthdays and Christmas. If Tanner wants something another time, he saves his own money.

coasterqueen replied: To Both from Santa:

Pj's and slippers, cups, and crayon boxes

This all seems like a lot, but a lot of this is small stuff and everything was very relatively inexpensive. I started shopping in September for them and got a lot of stuff on clearance and outlet malls! blush.gif

MommyToAshley replied: So far I have gotten Ashley:
FP Digital Art Studio
A High School Musical DVD for her karokee machine (she already has the karaokee machine).

I am stumped this year. I don't want to get a bunch of junk just for the sake of her having presents to open. I'd like to get her one WOW gift, but I don't know what. This is the first year I have been stumped and she doesn't even know what she wants. If you ask her what she wants, she doesn't know either. She's always had a list in the past...LOL.

MommyToAshley replied: Oh, I forgot, I did order her a personalized book -- that'll probably go in her stocking.

Our Lil' Family replied: Santa always brings 3 things (this year we ended up having to theme the things because it was hard for it to be ONLY 3 things):
Basketball goal (little tykes plastic one) & two extra balls
set of air planes
puzzles (3 leap frog board ones and 2 box sets of 25 pieces)

Stocking:
Leap Frog Word Factory DVD
Matchbox cars
Small lego set

From us:
set of construction legos

lesliesmom replied: Santa's bringing each child 3 gifts:

Leslie:
Barbie Pet Vet
2 Littlest Pet Shop Sets (I think the Round & Round and Get Better Center)

Christopher:
VTech Kidizoom camera
Gordon takes a tumble playset from Thomas the Tank
Shake N Go Airplane

Lindsay:
Little (Fisher price?) computer so she'll leave her brother and sister's alone
Baby Doll - the set came with the stroller, playpen and high chair but I think she'll just get the high chair for now and the rest on her birthday.
??

The kids will probably get games from mom and dad... we already got them kerplunk and will probably get a couple more "older" games

Celestrina replied: What my husband, parents, and MIL haven't gotten him would be a much shorter list. dry.gif

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Claudia- Princess Toaster (it imprints Cynderilla's slippers on the toast), a Princess Sleeping Bag, Some Stuffy Pillows for her bead, a Bratz bath doll, Ratatouille (sp?), Some my Little Pony's and I'm making her a little photo frame that will have pictures of her and her family (she loves looking at Pictures), A Princess book with her name and her brother and sisters names in it and a Wooden Victorian Dollhouse with family.

Emily-Emily the Strange T-Shirts, Silver City Gift Certificates, she adopted an animal from the World Wildlife Federation, I'm not sure what else DH ordered it.

Spencer-Transformers, Transformer Bedding Set, Shrek 3, he also adopted an animal from the World Wildlife Federation and poor guy we haven't finished his shopping.

I have enough points to spend $75.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart. So I'm going to buy all the stocking stuffer stuff there, plus a few gifts. Plus I'm using my airmiles to get DH's presents. But I've already put together a 3 frames joined with the kids pictrues with there daddy and I'm going to use scrapping booking letters to write something on each frame.

grapfruit replied: Not my kids but:

Alyx:

Aubrey:

CLOTHES! CLOTHES! and did I say CLOTHES! (I went to the Kohl's dat after T-giving sale, they had Carter and Sonoma clothes and sleepers for 60% off, I was getting $12-13 sleepers for $4.50 thumb.gif ) so she racked up.
This little toy that has the ABC's and stuff on it, like a little wheel of ABC's, it lays down right now for her to sit and play at, but then it stands up and it's a walk-behind toy
Some other little baby toys, to be honest I can't remember, there were 2 more
that we got her and for the life of me I have no clue what they are now
Papaw in Alabama got her a little car that goes from 9-36 months, it doubles as a stroller for the parents and she can rock in it as a baby and sit on it and play and it straps her in, then when she gets older it has wheels on it, he was trying to describe it to me. Oh and clothes from everyone else
A baby doll too, a little my first baby doll

For DH:

I'm undecided, I know for a fact I'm getting him new workboots, long john's, and maybe an outfit or two, the essentials that he really needs, but then I'm lost completely and totally lost. I have no idea what to get him to be honest. I thought about getting him a new cell phone, because he hates the one he has. I may do that, but I also thought about getting him something for his car. But anything I can buy for his car, like speakers or rims or something is way too expensive. So I have no clue sad.gif

ETA: Oh yeah I got Hanna 3 Polly Pocket sets too blush.gif Can we say spoiled?
