Bday presents

dream2bemommy22 · #1 February 3rd, 2012, 04:26 PM

Its that time of year again ladies. Our babies are turning another year older. What are you planning on getting them this year? Any big gifts? What are your LO's hoping or asking for?

We got Mackenzie one of those Camaro power wheels cars. I got it for an amazing deal, 99.00, marked down from 325.00!! I have also got a few board games set aside that i bought on black friday. I might take Charlie shopping one day, and let him pick out something smaller to give to his sister. But really that is all she is getting. We will be having a big bday party at my moms house and im sure she will be spoiled rotten as per the norm.

Honestly... I'm leaning toward not getting Danny a traditional present this year. He just doesn't need anything or want anything, you know? If I find something that he will for sure enjoy, I'll get it for him, but I'm getting tired of spending money on stuff he just doesn't care about... I'd rather spend it on doing something he'll really enjoy. I'm thinking of spending the money on something like a bunch of sessions at one of those bouncy gyms/indoor inflatable places, because he would LOVE that.

I am honestly not sure. We're re-doing our upstairs into a playroom for her, so that's kind of like her "big gift". I may try to find a Cinderella dress, since she talks about wanting one, and maybe a few books or puzzles but that's probably it from us. If I think of anymore ideas, I'll probably pass them along to the grandparents.

No clue. He doesn't need anything and our space is smaller so we can't do anymore BIG toys. I usually ask people to get him toys that will help him in a therapy sense, like puzzles or lighted toys or vibrating toys... So really no clue this year.

Well, she's big on Disney princesses this year

She's getting this Ariel dress:
Etsy Transaction - disney Ariel mermaid dress halter Birthday Party green polka dot purple pink crystal flower bow 12 18 months 2t 3t 4t

And I also ordered her another dress just for fun:
Etsy Transaction - Custom Boutique Clothing Berry Butterfly Fall Jumper Dress

The purple dress is not technically for her birthday since I got Natasha a dress from that store as well, but she'll get it around that time when it's warmer.

She's also getting a stuffed 21-inch Belle and stuffed Ariel. I was only going to get one or the other and she couldn't make up her mind, but then the Disney store solved my problem since they were having Buy One Get One Free - score!

Plush Ariel Doll -- 21 1/2'' H | Disney Princess | Toys | Girls | Disney Store
Plush Belle Doll -- 21'' H | Plush | Disney Store

Natasha got a stuffed Rapunzel for Christmas and Veronika really wanted a stuffed Disney princess too to sleep with.

I also got her a playset of toy characters from Little Mermaid. I am not sure what else, but I am thinking a doll house... Not the giant ones, but something for $50 or less since they have a very old one we got second hand and it's getting kinda old, but I am not sure yet.

Ava is getting a powerwheels too, but I'm not sure which one yet.

Kyle really wants to have a birthday party at one of those places that have a ton of boncy houses. its like 400.00 to rent it and he can invite 15 friends for 1.5 hours of play. I'll also have to buy pizza, and cake for the party, so I am thinking the party might be his gift, unless he wants to have a party at a local park and then he'll maybe get a power wheels.

keeley has asked for a leapfrog but im leaning more towards an ipod because she really does not need any more toys

Aww, those are really cute!! Veronika has Barbie version of Ariel, 2 different ones

I am gonna check if our TRU has them maybe because when I ordered from the Disney store they charged me $25 for shipping and I don't wanna pay that again lol. But yes, those are super cute!

Last year my husband bought our little girl one of those two seater toyota barbie jeep that is purple and pink thinking she'd like it, she barely drives it. That was 200 plus wasted to sit in the garage lol. I honestly have no clue what to get my little girl this year, and it's two months til April already (we usually have it all planned out by now).

I don't have any ideas for Reid other than books (because I do books for every birthday, it's a given). Maybe a bike, if the one we have is broken. I forgot to check in fall before we put it away for winter. Otherwise, I have no ideas. It's hard to think of things for the youngest of four boys!

That is a great idea!!

Hugo wants an electric guitar- real one w/ amp. Hope to get one at TRU where we found his acoustic, with a 20% off coupon next time one comes through.

I already got him a small Harry Potter Lego scene. I give him something on his real day and on his party.

I'm not sure yet actually. We are thinking of doing a joint birthday party at the Children's museum for her and Paul... but as for gifts, I'm really not sure yet.

DonovinsMommy · #15 February 6th, 2012, 12:57 PM

Donovin is getting a tractor power wheels and probably a bunch of baseball and other sports things. We are having a huge party for both boys at the local bounce house so I have a feeling thats all he will need!

I got Mia an outdoor Lalaloopsy playhouse that will be her big gift. It was half off right after Christmas and we've been hiding it in our garage since then. She has some other Lalaloopsy dolls that I've picked up that she'll be getting. She is asking for a Hello Kitty bike so we might get that for her too.
