DH's parents always give us a bunch of useless crap so I'm realllllly hoping I can convince them not to spend money on anything besides a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-wish-list-this-year#post-2637913 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 13:40:49 +0000 caterw 2637913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this trouble too (and have for the past few years).

Most have gift certificates, so that could work. Also, gift certificates for meal prep services like hello fresh, blue apron, etc. </p> <p>And both of those would help with baby's arrival! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-wish-list-this-year#post-2637639 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 06:45:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2637639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, I want a new zip up fleece. Ooh exciting. And tons of stuff for the new house but mostly over $100- table and chairs, sectional couch and rug for family room...so gift cards towards those I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-wish-list-this-year#post-2637626 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 06:05:04 +0000 MissLace 2637626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are somethings you have your eye on for yourself this year? </p> <p>It's about that time when my family starts asking for gift ideas for everyone and I need some inspiration. Ideas should be under $100. </p> <p>All I can think of is baby stuff (I'm due with #2 in April), but that isn't really stuff for "me." </p> <p>I'm thinking maybe some sweaters and a gift certificate for a massage...</p> <p>What's on your list? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2376113 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:56:36 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2376113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are a blended family, and LO is only 4 months, but we plan to light candles and sing, and we are hosting friends for brisket and latkes. Her big Hanukkah present is a zoo membership! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2376090 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:36:02 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2376090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: I totally understand. I think you can get LO involved in crafts. When they were one I think I just drew holiday symbols and had them finger paint. As they get older the crafts can get more involved obviously. The other thing is that they can help with the cooking. I will let them turn on the food processor to cut potatoes, or mix the dough for sufganiyot. As they get older, I also try to keep in mind that we have a holiday almost every month, so it's ok to give some more importance and some less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2375592 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 12:16:55 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2375592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for all the ideas!</p> <p>@Baby Boy Mom: that sounds exactly like what we did growing up. I was just hoping to come up with a little something to add to it, without trying to make it a"Jewish Christmas". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2374742 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 18:24:54 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2374742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only do "traditional" activities- light candles every night, sing songs, spin the dreidel (you could get a bigger one for LO), read books/tell the story, and eat latkes. We do gifts on the first night and the rest are just for spending time together as a family. I do usually do one crafty thing the week before so that we have some decorations but other than that I think the highlight is really just lighting the candles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2374725 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 17:50:54 +0000 Miss Ariel 2374725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I'd agree with you there! That's totally what I try to make it into! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hanukkah-ideas-with-a-1-year-old#post-2374711 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 17:36:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 2374711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Ariel: Gotcha - I did know that so I guess what I meant to say that as a non-Jewish person, I don't think it HAS to be minor, because it wasn't for my Jewish friends. Totally get what you are saying though and it makes sense! </p>
