and Gnu will proly get something for his Camera kit bag as he is now working full time, he no longer needs us to buy him his toys

[goofy's friends]

DD 12--Ipod Nano

DD10--Pictionary Man

DS 7 - Legoes and more legoes

Various other goodies, but that's all I know right now.

 

[maslex]

13 yr old boy few shirts, 3 (1:18) die cast cars (he collects them) a trailer for those cars, alarm clock, 3 PS3 games, calendar, couple pajamas,

11 yr old boy few shirts, hoodie, robe, pajamas, MP3 player, Nintendo DS Lite, Guitar Her for the DS, alarm clock, calendar, storage case for his Tech Decks, Family Guy DVD set, a couple WWE action figures

I also got them Rock Band 2 and the 3 DVD's that Jeff Dunham has out right now. Those are like combined gifts for the both of them.

I have a couple more things to get for my oldest though. He's just too hard to buy for this year. He did just get a 1988 Mustang that he and his dad are working on as a project car for when he gets older so maybe I'll get him a couple things for that. (JUST WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND GOT HIM SEAT COVERS AND A LICENSE PLATE FRAME THINGIE)

 

[Family Fun Mom]

A puppy. They have no idea. I'm so excited I could pee my pants.

 

[JLKennedy]

It's difficult when they get older and no longer "believe".

My dd was 9 last year and was the first year she didn't want toys, so she got ipod and electronics. This year she's 10 and for her birthday in Oct. she got Uggz and Hollister clothes (we're mourning the fact she no longer like Limited Too...there goes any hopes of saving money, she couldn't go to AE next right? No jump right to Hollister), so she got a Wii for Xmas and clothes.

4 yr old son, trucks, space ships, aliens, wad of paper...anything amuses him.

A puppy. They have no idea. I'm so excited I could pee my pants.

I got a puppy for Christmas when I was 10 years old (I had been begging for one for years, it was my first dog). I still remember that Christmas vividly, and it was by far the best Christmas I've ever had.

 

[C.Ann]

For some reason, DGD (just turned 10) wants "spy" stuff; "scientific" stuff; and odd games - not the run of the mill stuff you can get in Walmart, Toys R Us, etc.. I have a couple of catalogs here with weird stuff and some folks on the BB gave me links to on-line places that sell unusual board games, so I guess that's how I'll do my shopping for her..

 

[Ohiodislover]

10 Y.O.
boots-She picked them out, and I got them, but now she wants Uggs--Not sure if I can get both pairs
IPod
a few sweaters
PJs
bath and body stuff
scrapbooking stuff

13 Y.O.
Uggs
New gym shoes
knife set
Ipod dock
PJs
bath and body stuff
scrapbooking stuff

We will probably get a few Wii games for the family.

 

[ZephyrHawk]

A kitty skyscraper...but I have a feeling that doesn't count.

 

[clh2]

14 YO DD:
Under Armour "running tight things" and a long sleeved shirt both are cold gear.
Also a Vera Bradley hipster purse (THANKS TO WHOEVER METNIONED THE 60% off sale on the retiring patterns) Stocking stuffer - some breast cancer awareness pencils.
Movie Theater GC,
and the only thing not yet purchased/ordered - a nice camera - she is going on a trip to Spain with her HS band over Christmas break.

A kitty skyscraper...but I have a feeling that doesn't count.

I'm sure my children would love a kitty skyscraper and find many uses for it! None of which would include a cat because of allergies, but that wouldn't stop them!!

Club Penguin and Webkinz top the list around here. Other than that, there isn't much else they want, so we we be able to get some of the random stuff we know they would enjoy like a book on pirates, a dino-dig kit, expensive pop-up books, craft kits, etc.

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

I know that we're probably going to buy DS some more Matchbox cars and more of the CARS die-cast cars also, because he's really into cars right now. If we can find one, I want to get him a Shake-n-Go Sherriff, to go with his Shake-n-Go McQueen and Mater.

We are definately getting him "Wall-E" and probably "Ratatouille" as well.

Probably going to buy him at least one outfit and a pair of pajamas since he seems to outgrow his clothes faster than we can buy them right now. Have to make sure his pants have the adjustable waist in them since he's pretty skinny but with legs that go up to his armpits.

 

[Kimickey]

DD10 Girl - Ipod (orange)
Ipod music box (to dock the darn thing)
Bike (grandma is getting this one)
Clothes, Boots
Tons of stocking stuffers


DS5 - XBox 360
XBox games
New Scooter (Grandma is getting this)
Clothes, Boots
Tons of stocking stuffers

I've already bought both of them tons of new Books to go under the tree (I cant begin to tell you how much my kids loves to read).

The electronics gifts are just for giggles. They will want the books more than anything...

 

[mamacatnv]

DS 19:
SonicCare Toothbrush
Noise cancelling over the ears headphones
Spare battery for his lap top

or

Netbook/LapTot

we are still trying to decide which way to go for him

DD 10:
American Girl Doll (her first)
The water bead thing I can never remember the name of
Footie pajamas & toe socks
Littlest Pet Shop
Her first cell phone

 

[Magic Mom]

DS 17 is getting a laptop and probably some clothes (along with the usual stocking stuffer toiletries, candy, socks etc)

DD9 is getting an English saddle (bought used in excellent condition YAY!! ) a saddle pad, new riding pants and half chaps. Also some small toys and books and the usual stocking stuffer things.

We also bought a family gift, a new desktop to replace my 9 YO Gateway, so we can talk to Dh with the webcam when he deploys next year.

 

[rcraw45425]

13 YO DD: Bedding set, clothes, new CHI (Ultra, hers is regular, no frizz control like sis'), Maybe a new cell phone. (She can't make up her mind on one) She already has a new area rug for her room.

11YO DD: New cell phone (Sprint Lotus in purple), Wii Nerf shooting game with extra pistol for other DD, assorted videos and music CDs to load to iPod. SHe already has the new area rug for her room.

Both are getting the old standby socks and underwear, flannel sheets, and cash from Grandma & Grandpa. (I'll probably take that to go toward the new phones since we are not out of contract and I have to pay full price).

WE just got back from the GF and booked bounceback for the CR for June too, so I guess the Nov. trip can count too.

I'm sure they'll get more stuff as I come across things they like.
