Oh well!</p> <p>We got him a zany zoo, Christmas PJs, the a Little Tikes Activity Garden, blocks, stacking rings, a xylophone, and a shape sorter. We also got a teething necklace but gave it to him early.</p> <p>We might get him some outfits, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244506 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:44:49 +0000 lavender 1244506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just something small and stocking stuffers. We wanted to get her a play kitchen but I think my in-laws wanted to get it for her instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244495 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:42:31 +0000 mediagirl 1244495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEP! She is getting a bunch of used toys that we spruced up and a couple of new things I bought for her. I can't wait to help her unwrap her gifts. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244440 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:28:21 +0000 Modern Daisy 1244440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is only gonig to be 4 months old this Christmas, so it's kind of pointless to buy him presents. DH and I decided we would each buy him a DVD of our favorite Christmas movie growing up and I'm sure he will get a ton of presents from grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244358 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:05:23 +0000 lindseykaye 1244358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and she just had her first birthday at the beginning of the month!<br /> We're trying to stick to the want/need/wear/read for all of us this year but it's hard! So I might give her a couple things for each category. A couple books for the read (she has no Christmas books yet), a couple sets of PJ's, a tiny reading chair (her main gift from us), and some cool flash cards for play/learning on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244318 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:58:15 +0000 birdofafeather 1244318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! already bought most of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244289 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:52:43 +0000 MamaMoose 1244289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting her a convertible car seat. Safety first LO, Safety first. Honestly though so got SO MUCH STUFF for her bday (today) and I know our families will spoil her at Christmas too. So the only real gift we got her to put under the tree were some sensory balls. Plus, we are flying to see family so space is an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244283 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:51:06 +0000 JerricaBenton 1244283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! Already got a few and I'm still shopping. She'll be 10 months at Christmas. Mostly toys but some special clothes and maybe some snow gear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244280 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:50:47 +0000 Bao 1244280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes she will be getting a good amount. We don't buy her many toys throughout the year though, so it's justified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244275 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:50:06 +0000 Smurfette 1244275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: My parents bought it for R for that price at Target too!</p> <p>We found something super cheap at a consignment sale. Then got two other things. So spending $30 total. I think I am going to skip on the stockings this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244267 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:48:05 +0000 Mamaof2 1244267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS was a Sept baby - I got him 1 thing to open and then filled his stocking with toys he already owned - haha</p> <p>Did the same thing the following year at 15 months - he had no clue but all my friends laughed at me </p> <p>He did get gifts from family and friends though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244265 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:47:01 +0000 looch 1244265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't sure how we're going to handle it because we'll be away for both birthday and christmas this year, so anything we do, needs to be packable and ubreakable.</p> <p>I don't think my son cares one way or another, honestly. He gets new things all year, regardless of occasion. I don't see the point in waiting for one month to buy toys for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244262 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:45:34 +0000 lamariniere 1244262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I love this strategy!</p> <p>DS's birthday is just 4 days after Christmas, and we will make a bigger deal out if the birthday. His big gift is a bike, that we will give for his birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244248 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:42:18 +0000 Greentea 1244248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we are. I feel like we should being her first Christmas but we just get what we want or need when we want or need vs. really do Christmas gifts. We are traveling so that is a gift for us! I still might come up with something sentimental but mainly it will be traveling and great photos and memories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244148 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:17:57 +0000 mrskc 1244148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to make him a play kitchen and then get hims some accessories for it. He also has the LP farm that I got the great deal on and some other LP toys that I used the $10 coupons on. I'm trying not to go overboard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244144 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:16:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 1244144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I followed the Want/Need/Wear/Read loosely beacuse she really didn't "need" anything. So she got 2 (okay 3) Wants :) But htat was because this momma has a shopping/sale problem :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244140 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:15:19 +0000 HabesBabe 1244140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A play kitchen (already on its way from Wayfair) and maaaaaaybe an Anywhere Chair or similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244132 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:14:30 +0000 lawbee11 1244132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 4 months old so she won't know the difference. I'm going to get her some clothes and wrap them. Someone gave me the my pal Violet at my baby shower. It's been sitting in her closet so I think I am going to wrap it just so there's something else under the tree. Classy, eh? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244117 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:11:09 +0000 stargal 1244117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we really didn't but this year since he is 16 months we got him a couple things. A doll house (kinda young but got a great deal in cl I couldn't pass up.) Play kitchen and dishes and a doll </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244116 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:11:05 +0000 Adira 1244116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Yay!!

She's 3 months old...I might pick up some sleepers, or a pacifier clip, or maybe a few sleep sacks. But she won't know, and she'll be spoiled by family anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244081 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:00:52 +0000 Adira 1244081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Hollah!

Maybe some books and one or two larger things. She really doesn't have a lot of toys. She'll only be 9 months though, so she won't know what's going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244063 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:57:25 +0000 mrsjyw 1244063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: They're on sale at Target for $49 right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244052 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:56:03 +0000 Adira 1244052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably get him SOMETHING, but it might just be clothes, haha. We actually don't have a ton of toys for him yet, so maybe I'll splurge and get the Zany Zoo for him. He'll be 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244050 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:55:50 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1244050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're looking to get him a Pottery Barn Kids chair with his name. That's it from us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-buying-your-lo-any-christmas-gifts#post-1244044 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:54:47 +0000 mamabolt 1244044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a play kitchen and food.

J will be two on 12/17</p> <p>Probably not much and definitely not like last year. We'll do a stocking and we will have a few things but last year I went totally crazy and bought everything I wanted to get for him for both his birthday and Christmas. It was like, present overload!<br /> I ended up keeping half in storage and brought them out slowly throughout the year.<br /> And I'm giving my parents suggestions if they ask what to get him. </p>
