My LO is nearly 2, I'm excited to see her play with her Hape kitchen, fleece robe, and bendy straws. LOL pretty random but all things I know she'll be into.
I'm trying to figure out some other cool gifts for either her or her cousins - so wanted to find out what others are really excited to gift.

DD1: her Hatchimal and her new swimsuits (she loves swimsuits)
DD2: her baby furniture (playpen, highchair, stroller) and her Baby Alive. She's baby obsessed so she will be so excited!

Toy kitchen. But selfishly because it will keep her busy while I'm cooking

He's 2 and change and we got him a play kitchen. We gave it to him Saturday when we had our pretend Christmas since we left yesterday and are gone till the 28th. He is obsessed and I'm so glad I got over my hang up of losing more space. Totally worth it.

Im kinda bummed because I dont have a great "Wow" gift for my daughter. Lots of things I know she will love but not a lot to play with. New Earrings is her big surprise gift.
DS is getting monster trucks. He will love those.
Baby DD is "getting" her jumperoo

@LuLu Mom: We got DD a Hatchimal too (overpriced on ebay), and she doesn't even know what it is! I pretty sure we are more excited about it. But once she figures it out, I know she's going to love it. We've had hatching eggs that soak in water before.

Her Go Jetters figures. Her favourite toy will be her trampoline but I'm terrified of giving it to her (hello broken bones).... but she will be so surprised when she gets her Go Jetters!

DS is getting a mini-trampoline and since he's been jumping on everything this week I'm excited to give it to him!

@MamaG: we got very lucky and we live in a small town with a Walmart, and easily scored one on black Friday. I got there an hour and a half early and was one of the first in line!

For B - a wooden snake. He was obsessed with this little wooden snake at our friend's house the other day, so I have one to stick in his stocking. It was probably his least expensive present and I think he will like it the best!
For A - a big horse that her dolls can ride. What's funny is that she was actually with me when I bought it. We were buying gifts for our Angel Tree child that day, and Alice kept talking about the toys we were giving to her "friend." She said her friend would love that toy horse and I already wanted to get it for her (DD), so I went ahead and put it in the cart and didn't mention that it wasn't for the Angel tree child. She came home so excited to tell Daddy and her brother about the horse she picked for her friend. Every day she reminds me that her "friend" (the Angel tree child) is getting a big horse and she hopes Santa brings her and Blake one too. I think she's going to be ecstatic when she sees that the horse is for her!

@josina: LO really wanted a mini-trampoline and I completely forgot I had hidden it away until you posted this!
I'm excited for her Barbie-on-a-hoverboard. We got it on impulse at the huge Black Friday sale. I wonder if it will really work.
She also got a toy accordion from her Grandma. She wanted one nearly year ago. I wonder if she will still like it.

DD is 2.5 and we got her a train set and a doll stroller, both of which I think she's going to be super excited about!
DS is 9 months and will love ripping up random wrapping paper

For my 3.5 year old, her Anna and Elsa dresses. Got them not really cheap but I know she will be so excited.
The baby is happy with cardboard boxes still.

@twodoghouse: that is super sweet. 
For my son, he didn't ask for anything specific, but when we were picking out birthday gifts for friends recently, he was really drawn to the Lego trains. We got him the Christmas themed Lego train, and I think he will be excited, and surprised! His birthday is just a few days after Christmas and we got him the Lego motorization kit, so hopefully it will all be a big hit.
For my daughter, she just wanted pink stuff. I got her a musical jewelry box with a rotating ballerina (and it's aalllll pink). She's never seen one, but I think she's going to love it.

We got DS (2.5) rechargable batteries and a charger. I generally don't let him have battery powered toys but he has a car and track set that he hasn't been able to use for a while because he used all the batteries. I didn't buy more because he would turn the cars on, run them into a wall and leave them on all night! Every time he finds the cars he tells me he's sad and that we need new batteries.

@lamariniere: I got C a ballerina music box too and I think she will be SO excited. I'm looking forward to giving it to her! And it was like $13 on Amazon so if she isn't as gentle as she should be with it it's ok

DD1 is getting a Paw Patrol zoomer, but I think she will like DD2s gift more- a Cozy Coupe, lol. I also got them some blocks to share that I think will be a hit with both. Oh, and Anna and Elsa dolls.

@twodoghouse: That is so cute! I can't wait to see pictures.

DS has been asking for a Batman remote control transformer, so we got that for him. I also bought him a ninja turtle sweatshirt that he is going to love.
DD will love the new doll carseat we bought for her. She is baby obsessed!!

Santa is giving the kids a play kitchen and I'm pretty excited about that! I've seen them both play with the play kitchens at daycare a bunch, so I think they'll be excited.

I'm most excited about dance lessons if she can grasp the concept. If not the leotard alone will be a big hit. I'm nervous about her Santa gift "a singing mermaid doll". I hope Santa got the right one.

I've already given my son the art lessons he wanted for his birthday last week, I tried to make him a calendar so he could see when it would start, on what days, etc and it kind of went over like a lead balloon. I know he'll be really into it when the lessons actually start, but he wasn't that jazzed about it when he got it.
For Christmas, we got him an Echo Dot for his room, since he asked for an Alexa, so I hope he likes that!
