When is she going to grow out of this stage?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1/page/2#post-2613180 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:21:28 +0000 mediagirl 2613180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting us a family gift this year - an outdoor antenna and access to it installed in every room. </p> <p>The 4 year old - art supplies, DC Super Hero Girls action figures. She has Supergirl, Batgirl and Harley Quinn. She will get Bumble Bee, Poison Ivy and Wonder Woman. I will probably also get her a couple of princess barbie sized dolls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1/page/2#post-2613174 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:15:39 +0000 Pancakes 2613174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest DD is really into American Girl dolls and has a long list of dolls, accessories, and furniture that she likes, so it will just be a matter of finding out what she really wants. She is likely to change her mind so it's a bit hard to shop too far in advance for her. She also needs a bike and a sleeping bag.</p> <p>I have no clue what to get the 2-year-old. Maybe a scooter if she doesn't get one for her birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2613135 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 06:33:07 +0000 Adira 2613135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Great Wolf will be so much fun!!

They've been eyeing it, and my luck it'll be sold out by the time I get around to it so...I grabbed it. That'll be a joint gift.</p> <p>I'd like to get some books for both and chairs. They have beanbags (that ideally I could relocate to their rooms) but I am honestly not sure what else to get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2612462 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:33:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 2612462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa is bringing DD1 a new pink bed (her request) and DD2 doll stuff (she loves babies right now, so she's getting a pack n play, new stroller, ect.) plus stocking stuffers. </p> <p>And from us we will be doing W/N/W/R: </p> <p>Want: we are taking them to Great Wolf Lodge for 2 nights<br /> Need: Not sure yet, they don't NEED anything...I'm drawing a blank.<br /> Wear: both with get new pajamas<br /> Read: various books for both of them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2612439 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 07:29:48 +0000 looch 2612439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: haha, men.

My son wants one too, but he already got a Chevy Suburban ride on last year and getting another car seems so ridiculous.</p> <p>Of course, it was my husband who had to show him the video. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611942 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:52:41 +0000 autumnleaves 2611942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We may get a museum or zoo membership. We went to ikea last weekend and bought a few wooden toys (cars, trains) for LO1 to give to him for his birthday and Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611838 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 08:10:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2611838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really sure other then I'll probably tell people who ask to get ds dress up clothes. We have none and he is big into pretend play lately so I think he would like it. </p> <p>Otherwise I hope he gets nothing because we have a huge toy room and it's filllllllled with toys. 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611835 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 07:37:21 +0000 chopsuey 2611835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to get the kids each a Tesla ride on car. 🚗🚙 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611830 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 07:06:18 +0000 Tanjowen 2611830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO turns 3 4 days before Christmas so I'm trying to get birthday and Christmas together! We keep an amazon list for DH'S family that live out of state. So far we have:</p> <p>- Magnatiles<br /> - playdoh cutters (a recent obsession)<br /> - Books (Llama Llama, which he loves)<br /> - Pajamas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611720 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 16:13:50 +0000 Rescuemom10 2611720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm stressing it too.

They still play with it occasionally at 3.5 and 20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2611065 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 16:40:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2611065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...I'll probably use this year to get all of our stuff for the Christmas trunk since LO will only be 8 months old. Maybe we will get him the B Zany Zoo activity cube. He would enjoy a tag blanket too, but I think I should get that for him now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610884 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:39:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2610884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have a million things saved on Amazon! </p> <p>Between her birthday, Christmas and baby sister's arrival, it's gonna be nothing extravagant. I'll probably do WWRN and spread them out between these occasions! </p> <p>WANT: I'll wait till later to see what she's into. I really want to get tickets to take her to saw paw patrol life in March in NYC! But it's a pretty extravagant want that I don't even know if she'll like! </p> <p>WEAR: snow boots/gear (hopefully no snow till next year...)</p> <p>READ: new big sister/new baby books (we already have a few to get her started)</p> <p>NEED: I don't think we can wait till Dec to set up her toddler room... But she needs a new dresser, a plush rug, and bedding</p> <p>I'm hoping the grandparents will gift swim classes :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610873 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:26:43 +0000 josina 2610873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I already have it bought! Was a back-up bday gift when a pop-a-dot book was on backorder from Amazon, so now I'll just keep it for E. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610839 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:53:29 +0000 erinbaderin 2610839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Oh, this is a great idea! B had a little armchair so we could get one for W!

He als has a tricycle and he loves them both! The balance bike has been amazing for his balance, though, it's incredible how he can coast on it. I think it will really help with the switch to a big bike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610821 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:43:12 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2610821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lorenzo will be 7 months and we'll be doing WWNR:<br /> Want: Hape Activity Cube<br /> Wear: Freshly Picked Moccs<br /> Read: Baby lit Books<br /> Need:Convertible Car Seat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610811 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:34:04 +0000 Silva 2610811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping she will be able to make a list this year, but I've been thinking about a cash register, a new doll, dress up stuff....my mom wants to get her some panda calico critter play set (my girl loves pandas)</p> <p>The baby will be 4 months so probably a book or two and a small toy. We will probably ask family for his own dishes/bibs for starting solids, and any clothes/winter stuff we need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610798 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:27:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2610798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: my LO got a doll carrier for her birthday, which she loves since I wear the real baby all the time. We walk to the park with G in the real carrier and C wearing a baby doll in her carrier (then she takes it off at the park and I have to hold it...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610796 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:26:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2610796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start keeping a list right after the toddlers birthday in July so I'll remember! </p> <p>Some things we might end up doing before Christmas, but for the 3 year old I'm thinking a little mini trampoline, kiddie table and chairs for the playroom, and maybe some play mobile type stuff- we actually got a whole bunch of hand me down stuff like that that she hasn't seen so maybe I'll clean it up and wrap it up for her. 😊 Also maybe a learning tower- is 3.5 too old for that to really be useful? The baby would use it after her. </p> <p>The baby turns 1 right before Christmas and she is a lot harder. No one wants a new convertible car seat for Christmas! I'm thinking until she is old enough to know better we will give her half birthday gifts when we do the toddlers bday- like next summer we will get them a swing set for the backyard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610792 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:22:43 +0000 Adira 2610792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site is a fantastic book! I highly recommend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610790 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:22:11 +0000 avivoca 2610790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A: Nod Chair like her sister (H has already said that A wants a hot pink one)</p> <p>H: Not sure yet. She loves Paw Patrol, but I like to leave character stuff to the grandparents and get something else. If I don't do it for her birthday, I want to get her a train set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610789 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:20:54 +0000 josina 2610789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on doing want-need-wear-read.<br /> Want - a Little People garage or rampway since he LOVES cars/trucks<br /> Wear - tennis shoes and PJ's<br /> Need - a toddler bed set, maybe a soundspa/noise machine sine he'll be sharing a room soon<br /> Read - "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site" and "Steam Train, Dream Train" Board Books Boxed Set </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-ideas-1#post-2610775 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 13:05:00 +0000 Smurfette 2610775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I would do the baby doll for her bday and then she can "practice" for when baby brother gets here. I wanted to get LO a dollhouse when I asked her if she wanted one she said no. </p>
