What are you buying for your kids this year?

**Maine Girl** · 10-31-2009, 09:19 AM

I was just wondering what kids want for Christmas this year. i love to hear what kids want. I don't have kids yet am looking forward to the day i can fullfill a christmas list.

DD9 wants a Liv Doll and a Girl Crush hair set. I have a bad feeling about a 9 year old with a hair-braiding gadget. I am picturing a 9 year old with a very short emergency haircut after she gets it stuck in her hair!

We are almost 100% done shopping for the kiddos.

Santa is bringing Wesley the following:
~Toy Story pajamas (to be opened and worn on Christmas Eve)
~Star Wars blanket/cuddle wrap (because Wesley informed us that he can't possibly be warm without a snuggie.)
~Legos set
~Two sets of super hero action figures he loves
~Little Einsteins DVD
~Lightning McQueen Power Wheels (this is his big ticke present)

Santa is bringing Maggie the following:
~little fluffy pajamas (to be worn Christmas Eve)
~bendy ball toy
~octopus toy
~radio/rattle toy
~set of hooded bath towels
~exploration tunnel thing

Santa might also bring her a little outfit or something, but other than that, Santa will be making a donation to the Maggie McDowell college fund.

As Wesley's gift from me, he is getting a Where the Wild Things Are puzzle, and from Maggie, he is getting a couple of books. Zac needs to pick him out something.

Zac and Wesley also need to pick out something for Maggie, I want to make her a little doll.

I am WAY excited about Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year. I love giving presents.

Nichole,

i think it is wonderful to make your daughter a doll. Have you heard of the waldrof dolls. You can buy the patterns. That is so cute that your son wants a snuggie.

**IntlMom** · 10-31-2009, 11:20 AM

I officially have no idea what we are getting anyone!

**monkeywrangler71** · 10-31-2009, 11:29 AM

Lego, I bought 10 different sets.
I can't think of anything else, maybe books or a game. They don't ask for anything, and I hate shopping.

**joyofsix** · 10-31-2009, 12:16 PM

No one has asked for anything so these are best guesses.

A family game, I'm thinking Scrabble.
17 yodd-Netflix subscription for year
15&13 yo ds-Gamefly subscription for year
11yo dd-fashion drawing kit
8yo ds-used Nintendo DS game
6yo dd-??? doll?
2yo dd-um, something from the basement rewrapped

Stockings are candy and personal care items ie. toothbrush, razors, lip balm, etc.

I have also put away an educational puzzle of the world, Uno cards (ours have disappeared),and some books. I may also crochet the girls a quick afghan if I can find yarn on sale. I have a really quick pattern that makes up in a couple days. I'm hoping one green, one purple and one orange. Their favorite colors.

DD14 has put in the request for books! That makes her easy - I wonder if I can get her an Amazon gift certificate or credit?

You can get an amazon.com gift certificate. You can either get it send to the person via email *which was handy for us when hubby was deployed* or by an actual gift card. I thought about doing that as well for a few people this year.
