What were your kids' favorite gifts last year (or prior years), and their age?
Hoping to spur some ideas for Christmas shopping!

I think our biggest hit-to-date was the little tikes trampoline: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-Trampoline-Amazon-Exclusive/dp/B00AU0O7QI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542315500&sr=8-3&keywords=trampoline+kids
DS got it when he was 2 I think, and he (4) and dd (1-1/2) still love it and use it pretty much daily.Last year DS (3) got a 3-wheel Mickey scooter that he loves.
I think DD's favorite gift from last year would be this tea set: https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Sweet-Manners/dp/B01MR4U58R/ref=sr_1_11?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1542315700&sr=1-11&keywords=tea+set+for+little+girls -
Last Christmas he was just 2 and he’s played with it daily for the entire year!!

Age 1: play kitchen
Age 2: duplos
Age 3: baby doll and stroller
Age 4: bike and Barbies
Age 5: AG girl doll -
Biggest hits for DS last year (at age 3) were dress-up clothes and a cash register.
-
@wrkbrk: I looked at that last year for DS but ultimately decided against it just because of size and our small house and no toy room! I'm sure he would've loved it, lol.
@mediagirl: Any specific baby doll? I'm planning on buying one for DD for xmas and not sure what to buy!
@Raspberry: My mom bought the kiddos a cash register for this year's christmas, hopefully it's a hit! -
@josina: how old is your lo? The corolle doll ended being her favorite. It smells so good!
-
Age 4: dollhouse. We got the Melissa and Doug hi rose one but I think any would have been a hit.
I have no idea for the 2 (almost 3) year old. Probably her baby dolls.
@josina: we have at least 6 different types of baby dolls and they are all loved by both girls. These kids are obsessed with baby dolls. And the $10 target stroller is just fine. We are also getting a cash register this Christmas, to go with a play grocery stand, so hoping they like it!
-
@josina: If you want something plush, my DD loves this doll: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TLAZFKA/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
You can get some cute outfits and accessories too.

We also Jane the Corelli doll and my younger son LOVES it - he calls it Baby and drags it everywhere.
I think the most popular gifts last year (almost 2 and almost 4) were Duplo (not a set, just the bin of mixed blocks) and stick-horses.

@josina: so I've been toying with the idea of a little trampoline for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas. Then seeing your post, I went down the rabbit hole, and I think I'm going to get this one because we have a big open space in the basement and he can use it year round inside. I am so happy to see your kids are still using it this much later.

@Sams Mom: My DD got her trampoline for her 2nd birthday and used it every day until this summer at 3.5. It was the the smaller little tikes one posted by josina. That same year she also got an indoor slide that was used constantly.
Age 1: Leapfrog My Pal Violet and Little People Sets
Age 2: Little tikes trampoline, indoor slide, Melissa and Doug cleaning set, toy vacuum
Age 3: Toy piano, tool set, magnatiles -
Age 4.5: magnatiles and puzzles
Age 1: wooden farm animal figures -
Last year’s hit was Barbies and Barbie Dreamhouse. My 5 and 3 year old plays with it daily. Princess dress up (with princess heels of course) was also a favorite.
-
@josina: definitely a Corolle doll! We gave DD hers 2 years ago and she still drags it everywhere and sleeps with it. The 12" is the perfect size for little kids.
-
DD got a doctor kit last year at 2 and loves it still.
-
@Foodnerd81: @IRunForFun: @erinbaderin: @Dahlia: Thanks for the doll recs!!
@Sams Mom: That one looks like even more fun, I'm sure with the bigger size you'll get even more use out of it age-wise! -
@catgirl: @josina: I sprung it on my husband this morning when he got home from work. Surprisingly he is on board with it, even though we will be losing some floor space in the basement. I used you guys as examples for longevity of use.
-
Got trampoline last year for 3 year old and now my 4 and 2 year old still love it too; def great investment esp for winter months!
Kidzoom camera also last year for my 3 year old and she still uses it a ton.
-
Last year, our son was gifted a hugglepod (we bought the stand separately) and it was a huge hit. We only put it out in the summer, but it got so much use. Highly recommend.
I am trying to think what else was a big hit, oh...a box with a bunch of indoor snowballs and snowball launchers! That went over well.
We also got the Osmo Hot Wheels race cars extension, that was a hit too.

Duplo gets played with almost daily in our house since DS1 was a toddler. This set in particular https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-DUPLO-First-Trucks-Year-Olds/dp/B017B19LD2/ref=pd_aw_fbt_21_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B017B19LD2&pd_rd_r=96b98efd-e9ac-11e8-bf9b-571f7e12ada0&pd_rd_w=7o26P&pd_rd_wg=lyKHv&pf_rd_i=mobile-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=b98fa1a4-6e6e-4981-835c-7fb29e0f4dd2&pf_rd_r=R6KJJVNTNRVDGCGM4SZK&pf_rd_s=mobile-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=R6KJJVNTNRVDGCGM4SZK

Not Christmas, but could be - My 3 year old's favorite gift from her birthday by far is her micro mini scooter. She asks to ride it almost every day.
Last year, Santa brought her an Elsa dress, and she still wears it at least a couple of times a week.
The Christmas that she was 1, we got her a Wee Baby Stella, and it's still a favorite toy 2 years later.

@josina: Awesome to hear! Trampoline is what our 2 year old is getting for Christmas.
