@winniebee: what learning tower did you go with? That's on my list for B eventually...

Toy toaster, yellow Little People bus and that is it for right now! I already bought a FP Learning home, dishes and other LP stuff.

@littlek: we have the Little Partners learning tower. It's SO sturdy and heavy and M loves being up there. Sometimes, if I'm trying to get things done, she'll even eat meals up there. We have it up against our island.
She will be 1 and a half at Christmas. We're done shopping for her for Christmas and the bigger items are used:
Little People zoo
Bubbles
Sticker books
Mega Blocks
A wood, rolling toy
2 tunics
My parents are getting her (us) a family membership to the local kids museum. They will also get her other things but that's the big one I asked for.

She is getting (read: we may have already opened and let her use) a cozy truck. Also, a book, some new clothes and a forward facing car seat (so fun) (: I asked my parents and inlaws not to her her anything since her birthday is a week before and she has so much already...but if they insist on something, I wouldn't mind a learning tower or a playhouse. Maybe even a kitchen (: you know, something small (: haha

@mediagirl: I just put it on my wish list. I will have to convince DH that B "needs it."

I'm still working on her list. We were planning on a play kitchen but the grandparents already spoiled her with one.
Probably: play food you can cut, a stuffed animal (she's really into them lately), alphabet magnets, wooden puzzles...

@mediagirl: I have this on my list: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009IVS1NK/ref=gl_it_dp_o_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3R07JWTVGO5QT&coliid=I1H3KRS82ICYIS
But I might end up going with this one: http://www.onestepahead.com/Toys/Indoor-Toys/Kids-Toy-Broom-Sweeping-Set.pro?fpi=103922&catCd=2W&prefixCode=2W

He is getting a play kitchen, and a tool bench. We already bought him books and PJ's, and we have put a learning tower, and some play food on his list.

@mediagirl: is M able to get into the tower by herself?
@mrsjazz: bahaha she has a janitor set hand me down from my niece that I packed away. Maybe I should bring the broom and dustpan back out. haha
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@locavore_mama: heck no. Nor can she get out of it by herself. She tries, but she's still too short.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@littlek: going to get the little partners one in light wood! Since I'm home with him and do a lot of cooking it seems like we will use it a lot. Otherwise he just whines to be held while I cook so he can see what's going on.
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@winniebee: Awww, I'm looking at the apple green one. It would match LOs high chair.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@mrsjazz: oh, I don't know if you have room for a floor easel but the one at Ikea is really cheap price wise but nice! I'm waiting till we make a trip to Ikea!
@MsMini: Which tool bench are you looking at? I need an idea for nephew!

I feel like a grinch. My LO might only get one gift and I'm still not sure what to get her, I'm thinking a mini boden snowsuit. My sister is getting her a pair of boots.
She will be 15 months in December
pomegranate / 3003 posts
LO will be 5 months, and we're doing the "want, need, wear, read" thing. My parents will spoil her, and she will have yet to know the difference. I'm sure she'll just want to mouth the tree ornaments.
coconut / 8234 posts
@locavore_mama: We don't have the room for one. That's why the play kitchen we are looking for has to be small...waiting on the possible one we want to go on sale. I love the Ikea play kitchen but it's too big. I also wish we could get a learning tower but no space. Our kitchen is so small we can barely fit a chair in there for her to stand on!

We just want one toy for her-- which would be a play kitchen, and then I guess we'll ask for play kitchen food from my in-laws. I think BIL is getting her a child's recliner from Costco (cheaper than PBK Anywhere chair and it looks comfier/cooler!), and some clothes, books. We're doing a toy purge this weekend and will only leave our 2 big things and 5-7 smaller things for her to play with... girl is overwhelmed (and so is our living room)!
She'll be 17 months.
grapefruit / 4582 posts
Some more books, food for her new play kitchen, art supplies, and puzzles.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@HabesBabe: omg there's a little recliner we saw at a furniture store years ago that matches our set. I told DH we should get it but he mentioned that we'll probably be replacing our set in the next few years. And I have a PBK Gift card for $50 and I just won't buy anything else from there.

@bunnylove08: Don't feel like a grinch. Of the items on my list, we are buying her one--the play kitchen. Everything else is being purchased by family/friends who have asked what to get her for Christmas.
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
M is 11 months. Her bday is 11/26 and these are the things I already know people are getting her for her bday or xmas:
PBK Anywhere Chair
Pop Up Play Tent and Tunnel
Radio Flyer 4 in 1 Tricycle
Zany Zoo
Play Kitchen
Doll + Stroller
New shoes and clothes
Books
Wooden Puzzle
Girlfriend has it made in the shade.

@bunnylove08: Don't feel like a grinch! The only thing WE bought her was the anywhere chair and that's because I think they are adorable, so it's really for me. Our family just spoils our LO rotten because she's the only grandchild on both sides (for about 24 more hours as my brother's wife is in labor right now!)
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@bunnylove08: 75% of the things I'm buying used for like less than $10 each! And you buy more for her throughout the year. 
@MamaMoose: dang! Lucky girl. No child is EVER spoiled as much as the first grandchild. Fact.
grapefruit / 4442 posts
@mrsjazz: @locavore_mama: @MamaMoose: Thanks Ladies. I'm actually asking family not to buy her any toys since she has so many we dont know what to do with them.

Tool bench
Anywhere chair
Shopping cart

grapefruit / 4817 posts
@bunnylove08: I agree with the others; you're definetly not a grinch! I think we're just getting him one thing on the list. And maybe a few stocking stuffers. Everything thing else we have on it is just for people who ask what to get him And after going on Amazon to remember what was on there, it's actually fairly short...
Play kitchen (what we're getting him)
Play kitchen accessories
Wooden Piano
Ukulele
Little People Bus
And he needs some new pj's. I might start "want, need, wear, read" this year, but I can't really think of anything he "needs."

@BananaPancakes: @Smurfette: Thanks ladies feeling much better. I think she got a lot for her birthday which was in September.
When I was growing up we only got one present
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
@Smurfette: Thank you!! Also, because I love you, I urge you to rethink the ball poppin elephant. That little f'er haunts my dreams. IT'S SO LOUD.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@MamaMoose: Really? I just think that she will love it..........
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@Smurfette: @MamaMoose: satan created it.
Smurfette: I am also not a fan of the L&L puppy. He turns on in the middle of the night. He also turns off too easily (hitting his foot).

@MamaMoose: OMG that damn ELEPHANT. My LO doesn't even care about the damn balls, those are all scattered throughout the apartment. But she loves the music and presses it over and over and over and dances to it. It was cute the first 500 times. Ok, it's still cute but it's annoying as hell, too.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@MamaMoose: @mediagirl: @mrsjazz: Alright, I am taking it off the list! Good thing I haven't shared it yet.

So far I know I am getting LO the banana training toothbrush/teether thingie, and a set of giraffe lovey blankets (pair and a spare). And some books. Is that super lame??? He will be 9 months at Christmas time.
I know my parents and IL's are going to go nuts and buy toys. And they won't listen to me and buy the toys I actually WANT him to have. 
I did create a wishlist on amazon and it included some feeding related things like spoons, and sippy cups, size 12 months pajamas and a few toys like stacking rings and a v-tech walker (based on recommendations here).
