I guess I can embrace this and say a doll stroller or accessories like bottles too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916847 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:36:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1916847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baby doll </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916817 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:10:57 +0000 creativemomma15 1916817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: Good idea, I know my MIL is giving swim passes to the kids. I'll have to brainstorm some other ideas<br /> @Bao: yes it is hard! My mom mentioned a little people toy house so maybe that's what she will do. DD could probably use some cars of her own too<br /> @Tanjowen: those are all great ideas! Thanks! @MamaBehr: yes we really don't need a ton of toys either. Money towards something is a good idea. I'll have to come up with something to put it towards.<br /> @Mrs. Bee: I forgot about arts &amp; crafts supplies! I am trying to think of some membership ideas but we don't have a lot around us unfortunately. I'll have to do some online research. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916694 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:59:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1916694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive seriously gets nothing. i didn't even get her anything for her third birthday! she is happy to play with charlie's toys.</p> <p>if i had a wishlist, it would definitely be memberships to museums, zoos and we can never ever have enough arts and crafts supplies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916677 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:34:52 +0000 MamaBehr 1916677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS #2 turns one two days after Christmas and we are asking for money towards a swing set. He doesn't need/care/know about presents yet, so we are putting money towards something all our kids will like and use in the years to come (he's our third so we REALLY don't need more toys!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916570 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:36:28 +0000 Tanjowen 1916570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is turning 1 right before Christmas, and we are in the same boat. Thanks to his Aunt, he has all the toys he needs (she gave us all her baby stuff!) and no need for clothes. My ideas so far:</p> <p> - Bath toys / bath books<br /> - Winter hats/mittens<br /> - Puffs (he gets really excited when he sees the can)<br /> - Bubbles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916170 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 08:26:11 +0000 Bao 1916170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's been so difficult. I can come up with a million things for LO2 (2 years old) but it's so hard to think of anything for our 7 month old. I don't want to get a bunch more "baby" toys because we have plenty and those won't last as long, use wise. LO1 is "into" a lot so that's easier too. My parents are getting the girls the princess little people castle as a joint gift, and then LO2 is getting the A to Z little people zoo from them as well. So far we got B toys wheelies cars, a B toys medical kit, some books...so really things they can both play with but we will divide and put their names on them to open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916156 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 08:01:08 +0000 ALV91711 1916156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about passes for things you can do as a family? Experiences are always good and don't add to the clutter of toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-ideas-for-lo2#post-1916150 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 07:48:14 +0000 creativemomma15 1916150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have a hard time coming up with gift ideas for their 2nd LO? My DD turns 1 a few days before Christmas and everyone is asking what she wants for her birthday &amp; Christmas. Problem is we already have a lot of toys from DS &amp; clothes from friends for her. </p> <p>What other ideas are there? </p>
