1. What's the number 1 gift you want to get for your child or children this year? For your So? What do you want?

[hilachu]

i want to get liam this:
Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo - Fisher Price Toys - Little People

[mommydiva]

For Rosie and the baby haven't really thought to much about it. DH I plan on getting him the new Zelda game that comes out end of November. From the kids I have no idea either..lol

[Juliebird18]

I love that zoo thing! Maybe I will get Stevie something like that. I am thinking I want to get Stevie some kind of to he can ride and a potty.

Nathan is really into cars and trucks and stuff, so probably something along those lines for him.

Rebecca has a birthday and Christmas coming up, so between both days I want to get her 2 princess dolls to complete her collection (they are inexpensive dolls, under $15 each) and she REALLY wants a baby Rapunzel doll, but I will have to find one online. I also want to get her a doll house.

DH and I might get something small for each other, or something we both want, but we are trying to pay off credit cards so we might not get much this year. we want a house in the spring!

for our parents and grandparents, we are printing off a 4x6 print of every shot our photographer took of our family and putting them in a little album. inexpensive, but sentimental.

I have NO clue. He has so many toys I would have bought him but his brothers already had to pass down.

My other boys, I have no clue again. Gage is into games, my mom is getting him a DS, maybe the case or a game or two is what we could do. I don't know. Dane is into cars, cars and more cars.

For me? A snap press, I'd love a snap press. Or fabric!

[Irish_Wristwatch]

im an early shopper too, we have the kids shopping done, and I will have DHs done this week (hes asked for a game that isnt released until this week) we still need to shop for our siblings and parents

Ross got a bunch of little wood cars, people and a little wood town, I bought them off etsy so they are hand made, which i love!

William is getting some wooden teething toys (again handmade from etsy) and a sock monkey (i bought one for Ross last year) made by a lady a few hours away from me

and DH bought the boys a wooden train table and a bunch of wooden trains, they are supposed to share it, though i doubt Will is going to be into trains for a while

oh and im thinking of making those fleece tie blankets, if i can ever find some good fleece locally or someone to ship fleece to canada that doesnt cost an arm and a leg

[Rochelle7]

Lori- that's a very cute idea for the family pics. We're doing something similar on a lesser scale: I'm going to set up the tripod and get family pics in about a month (early Nov) and use them in Christmas cards for the extended fam and for the fam we give gifts to they get the pic in a frame and some handmade ornaments and possibly something else crafty I come up with. We're so poor.

For Heidi and DD1 (and DD's little girl-friends): Making this: Cute Little Hairbow Holder | Mommy Meatloaf There is also this version of it: Little Page Turners: Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Where'd all my bows go?
Also for DD1, an alarm-clock-radio-CD player. I want her to get up to let her dog out.. lol. Plus my friends kids broke DD1's CD player

DS: Not sure. That's DH's dept. But I do want to make them both (DD1 and DS) tie-knot blankets.

I have a list for us family wise. (linens mostly ie: sheets {all bed's need more sheets}, towels, potholders, kitchen towels)

Not sure what DH wants other than giftcard to Lowes warehouse.

For myself: I have been building a list for some time now. I would love a "Cricut" machine for Scrapbooking and/or a giftcard to Micheals or Joannes would be great so I can get more scrapbooking supplies.
My gpa usually gives me money for Christmas and I'd like to go get another tattoo or get a new nose ring and/or new earrings for my cartilage piercings. Also, SHOES, I go through shoes so fast. I badly need a whole new wardrobe so anything towards that would be cool.

I know, I'm worse than kids.

I'm not too worried about the kids bc they have so much already and I know the family will spoil them like crazy. We don't have a lot of kids in our families. Both me and DH are only children now. And none of my cousins have any kids.

[lala2007]

I love everyone's gift ideas! I really like the zoo,might have to add it to Kenzie's list. Rebecca. Your list sounds like some of the things I want. I really need some new shoes and I really want my nose opierced or to get a monroe. Maybe it. Will make me look older. Some people think I'm 19.

[mommydiva]

Oh yes I plan on making a few tie blankets this year..lol
If we do extended family then I plan on doing homemade gifts for people.
Like the one SIL hates cooking unless its all ready to go so I was thinking of doing a soup in a jar type thing with a cup/bowl and things along that line.
The other one is married so I thought of doing a couple gift for a date night at home type thing.

Parents will get pictures. Last year we gave each parent a picture. My parents got one of me and Rosie from her newborn pics. and DH's parents each got one of him and Rosie. I am thinking this year we will do both kids and do some form of photo gift/book.

My brother will get the new season of Always Sunny or a blanket for his truck.

[inyourhonor]

I made my brother an MSU and Detroit Tigers knot tie blanket one year.

I will be updating Gage's blanket, at almost 6, he's outgrown Diego.

Family understands we can't do anything for them. We will try and put together a craft made by the boys. The boys are tough, especially Dane right now since his birthday is only a matter of weeks before. I have to worry about that. Then when I'm doing shopping I always buy Gage's birthday present with it haha.

[mrsjl]

this is the doll house I want to get for Rebecca Loving Family Grand Dollhouse (Caucasian Family) - Fisher Price Toys - Loving Family

it only comes with a mom, dad, twins babies, table, chairs, and booster seats. you have to buy all of the other furniture separately. that is okay though, we'll get her the doll house itself for her birthday and when people ask what she wants for her birthday or christmas, we'll suggest the doll house furniture.

[mshah]

I have no clue. I'll wait till closer to xmas for omair's idea to see if he really needs something. If not, we'll just let family buy gifts for him...he has enough stuff as it is.

For dh, prob nothing since it's his money. Maybe a bj? lol, I owe him so many by this point I doubt he'd be happy, lmbo!

For me, I have anything I could ever hope for, so nothing!

Wow, so it looks like nothing, nothing, and nothing.

ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaha

[Trish36]

My kids have everything, so it's really hard to buy gifts nowadays. Isabelle is easy...she will love anything that has to do with ponies, barbies, pet shop, dress up....just basically anything goes. The older ones are much harder. And the baby won't care in the least what she gets, so most likely it's just going to be something small.
I want an e-reader, so I don't have to carry those heavy books around with me anymore. And DH really wants an iPad...but like we have that kind of money.

[MissingRyder10]

Im not planning on celebrating christmas,its around the time ryder passed away so im sure i will get really depressed and sad.

[noworries]

We don't do Christmas gifts so that makes it easy for me. I do have to get gifts for my niece and nephew (we draw names for all the kids on my side of the family) and for my parents (again, we draw names between all the adults in my family). I want to try to make all of those gifts this year. I have ideas for my niece and nephew and I think I have ideas for my parents but I need to keep looking for more ideas and see if I find anything I like better.

[krislati]

I got the fisher price zoo, it is really cute. Kmart had all fisher price buy one get on half off last week. So I got some animals to with it and a race track car thing. DD wants a dsi so that will be her main gift. I'm not sure about dh. I would like a new laptop, I hate using the desktop.

[mommydiva]

LMAO at Miranda.

I am not sure what I want for myself. More then likely maybe a new Vera bag or something like that.

[KMH]

OMG, Miranda, I almost fell off my chair laughing. Too funny!

I think I'd like to get Claire a kid-sized table and chairs for her playroom. It won't be long before she can sit and color or play with Play-Doh.

I have no clue what DH and I will get for each other, if anything. I haven't really thought about it yet!
