Love busy toddler ideas! My older son just got reusable water balloons! I’m going to take my son out for the day on his actual bday and we also got a toniebox! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-idea-for-third-of-three-boys#post-2928277 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:59:55 +0000 Lahela017 2928277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar to PP we got this after seeing them on Busy Toddler, and they are so fun!!</p> <p>Battat – Flying Disc Toy – 2 Launchers &amp; 4 Discs – Helicopter Playset – Outdoor Toys for Summer – 3 Years + – Skyrocopter <a href="https://a.co/d/f6nIJJG" rel="nofollow">https://a.co/d/f6nIJJG</a></p> <p>Also looking to get reusable water balloons in the future!</p> <p>Does he have a Toniebox or Yoto? My newly 4 year old is totally obsessed with her Toniebox so new tonies always make good gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-idea-for-third-of-three-boys#post-2928272 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 06:47:19 +0000 ChitownRo 2928272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy many of the busy toddler (IG) toy recommendations and they are always a hit. For our youngest - have gotten accessories for existing toys. For example magnetic people compatible w magnatiles. Can never go wrong w new duplo set (my 4 yo was very excited about a Buzz Lightyear themed one). Costumes and stuffies (though 100% unnecessary) are also always popular.<br /> So far, for our youngest who is turning 5 this summer, my ideas are: reusable water balloons, floor is lava stepping stones, mario toy figures. I also always get books and clothes they need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-idea-for-third-of-three-boys#post-2928271 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:15:38 +0000 azbaby 2928271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would he like a date day with just you? Or maybe a family day with ice skating and a movie in a theater? It's so hard when your LO's already have everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-idea-for-third-of-three-boys#post-2928270 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 13:45:10 +0000 LadyDi 2928270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy...crickets on here lately! Hopefully some people still check in! No idea what to get my soon to be 4 year old for his bday...he's the third of three boys...his interests are whatever his brothers are interested in (all things we have a ton of already), we have memberships everywhere, we already have a nugget couch, we have about as much outdoor stuff as we can handle (small yard)...Help! All I have for him is a new sand bucket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927782 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 12:20:09 +0000 pachamama 2927782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Travel stuff like a sleep mask, a passport holder, electric LED candles (scented ones give me a headache #old), skiing dift card, Nine West watch, a book about small houses/ cozy places :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927780 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 19:38:23 +0000 Lahela017 2927780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: great idea. My parents are 3 hours away as well. I think I need to make this happen. DH and I really need to connect more. We have a 5 month old baby so things have been crazy again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927776 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 16:12:36 +0000 SteelerGirl 2927776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every Christmas I go in with my parents and my brother to get my sister and her husband a date package. My parents buy the dinner gift card, my brother picks out a fun activity and gets a gift card (escape room, Top Golf, wine &amp; paint, etc), and I give them babysitting money.</p> <p>This year we went slightly different with a NYE date night package. We don't usually pick the day for them, but we got them a gourmet cooking class on NYE so it's both dinner and an activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927775 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 11:20:45 +0000 karenbme 2927775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I’m in the same boat with never having a random babysitter because DD1 was tiny when Covid hit, but if you have family close enough for a weekend visit it works out fine. My parents are about a 3 hour drive away and they’ll come up on a Saturday and stay over/babysit Saturday night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927774 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 10:20:02 +0000 azbaby 2927774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these idea!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927773 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 08:32:30 +0000 Lahela017 2927773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: agreed!! DH and I would love a date night! So long overdue for us. We don't have any family I'm town though and haven't ever gotten a random babysitter yet... DD was too little and then with Covid we never felt quite right about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927770 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 17:12:41 +0000 Chuckles 2927770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: ooh, I'm going to steal your idea of a fancy restaurant gift card and babysitting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927769 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 14:34:35 +0000 karenbme 2927769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: ooh, I might steal a few ideas from your cookbook list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927768 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 14:32:47 +0000 karenbme 2927768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re getting a quieter coffee grinder and upgraded coffee pot for both me and DH from Santa. And I’ve asked for a ring in my new baby’s birthstone to go with the one I have with DD1’s and some practical things—wool socks, replacements for some kitchen items that are wearing out, etc. I asked my parents, who usually get us a fancy dinner type restaurant gift card and a night of babysitting, to switch it up and have a professional organizer come to the house, but idk if they’ll do that since they wouldn’t get the night with the grandkids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927760 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 06:46:21 +0000 catgirl 2927760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teva sandals to replace mine that literally fell apart this summer, a helmet for winter sports, and a blow dryer brush. Pretty boring "wants" this year.</p> <p>Oh, DH and I always ask for a new annual state park pass from my dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927759 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 06:26:38 +0000 caitcat 2927759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A longer raincoat, an electric kettle so I can make tea in my office upstairs, a prettier toaster for the kitchen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927757 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 16:05:07 +0000 Lahela017 2927757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A charm for my Pandora bracelet, yarn for a crochet project, simple geometric shaped earrings, and a DVD of a movie I've been wanting to see but we don't have the streaming service it's on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927756 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 15:41:40 +0000 Chuckles 2927756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want some fun candleholders for taper candles (I like the ones at Hay.com), a sweater from LL Bean, a cozy throw blanket, Luxardo cherries, and a bunch of cookbooks - the new Smitten Kitchen, Home is Where the Eggs Are, Savory Baking, and the New Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927754 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 12:13:38 +0000 LadyDi 2927754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A ninja foodi smart grill, yeti rambler water bottle, a fluffy sherpa type pullover from patagonia, a new saucepan and skillet to replace two of my nonstick ones that are in bad shape, and a coffee subscription (these are all ideas I gave DH, for my family I mostly put gift cards and my mom bought me a new winter parka). </p> <p>I also usually ask for new slippers! I got toms slippers last year and love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927752 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 10:52:41 +0000 azbaby 2927752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't figure out what I want for Christmas. What are you hoping for? You all have the best ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925807 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 20:40:01 +0000 PinkElephant 2925807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SteelerGirl: Thanks for these! Her older sisters ended up picking out a fabulous (junky, but fabulous) set of about 2 dozen costume jewelry rings and a Belle lotion/perfume set, so similar to some things you suggested. She doesn't really have a "WOW" toy, but at this point I think she'll like all the little doo-dads better anyway! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925803 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 17:49:06 +0000 SteelerGirl 2925803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrate Hanukkah so we're already done opening presents this year. My 5 year old daughter loved these gifts the most:<br /> A locket necklace with a unicorn on the front<br /> A pink Cub Coat<br /> A LOL Surprise makeup kit<br /> Bath confetti, bath color tablets, and bath fingerpaint<br /> A hoola hoop </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925750 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 12:17:49 +0000 IRunForFun 2925750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: 🤣 Yup we have the Spirit stable and a KidKraft mansion. LO’s birthday is end of January so maybe I’ll be able to find the Gabby’s Dollhouse for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925748 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 11:57:56 +0000 PinkElephant 2925748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I told my older girls she could just put the figures in our (nice...huge....EXPENSIVE) wooden Hape House (or the Barbie Mansion, or the portable Barbie princess house, or the Little People Elsa palace, or the Melissa &amp; Doug Castle, or the Spirit stable...as you can see, we're SUPER short on doll buildings here) - but they were into the WOW factor, which I get and appreciate. </p> <p>Hopefully the resellers return them after Christmas, and we can all snag them on clearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925747 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 11:56:09 +0000 PinkElephant 2925747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: Sooo much cute stuff. As the mom of three girls (9, 7, and 5), I urge you....DON'T DO IT! :) The cute stuff just keeps coming (and changes from year to year - if I would bought things a few years ago, my kids would be disappointed because instead of cute animals, unicorns, and fairies, now everything is mermaids, narwhals, and llamas). :) :) Their interests are also shockingly varied; the oldest really likes LEGO and American Girl dolls, the middle plays with only dolls with fully articulated arms and legs like OMG or Rainbow High, not Barbie because they don't bend (she's a dancer, so I guess she is really aware of how they move); the youngest is more into tiny things like cars, shopkins, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925736 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 19:40:51 +0000 IRunForFun 2925736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: My 4 year old wants this dollhouse too, and yeah it’s sold out, but she also has a perfectly good dollhouse already!!! </p> <p>The thing I think she’ll be most excited about is a makeup set, she asked for one and this one seems to have it all. I hope she likes it. </p> <p>Tomons Kids Washable Makeup Kit, Fold Out Makeup Palette with Mirror, Make Up Toy Gifts for Girls - Safety Tested- Non Toxic <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVKYD8R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EF2ABDY00X83TJ28ZFQ2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVKYD8R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EF2ABDY00X83TJ28ZFQ2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925735 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 18:59:32 +0000 agold 2925735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: That's so funny. I didn't even really check the ages for my 3 and 5 yos. I got the tunnel, cool lite brite looking thing, a gel writing pad, a little make up purse (for the 5 yo), the make up vanity for my 10yo niece, the ear pods for my niece, and I can't think what else. I seriously love all that they had to offer. </p> <p>Just as an aside, I also really like Hape toys and I try to support Bannor Toys, a little wood company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925732 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 20:38:54 +0000 JennyPenny 2925732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: YES! I was seeing those deals and having seriously fight the urge to buy toys labeled age 8+ because they seemed so cute and were such a good deal. But I so do not need to hold onto potential presents for 5 or more years :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925731 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 17:17:47 +0000 agold 2925731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: I got a lot of fao stuff at target for the kids in my family. it is all so cute and looks like it will get the "wow" factor upon opening. Target did a buy two get one free offer not too long ago. Target is doing it again, but not with fao toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925730 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:57:09 +0000 JennyPenny 2925730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is only 1.5 but I remember feeling like the FAO Schwarz collection at Target had a TON of cute stuff for older girls, so much so that I had to hold myself back from buying it in advance. The tea set, princess play tent, pretend purses, etc all look so nice! </p>
