Fine by me! Saves us a lot of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379433 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:29:34 +0000 MamaMoose 379433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If our parents would just take all the money they intend to spend on our little family and make a 529 contribution for LO my husband and I would be thrilled with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379424 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:27:14 +0000 chopsuey 379424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister was talking about gift ideas for me (wasn't feeling her ideas) so I told her to just buy stuff off lo's wish list :D hahaa and I emailed the link to her.</p> <p>I have everything I need or want.. But I'd love if the in laws got us another amazon gift card like they did last year! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379409 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:22:15 +0000 Andrea 379409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that is just a given! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379268 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:47:26 +0000 birdofafeather 379268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO shouldn't be here before Christmas, but i can kinda see this happening in future years. this will probably be the last year that we really ask for things for ourselves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379256 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:41:50 +0000 heffalump 379256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Lo actually doesn't need much right now. I wouldn't mind money for her savings.... but for the most part she has a ton of toys, clothes, and all the practical things that she needs. I think I'm always focusing on her and not buying myself things, so for the holidays id like to get something for once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379204 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:23:22 +0000 lavender 379204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what we requested this year. No gifts for the two of us, just for our LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-for-gifts-for-lo-instead-of-for-you-for-holidays-now#post-379185 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:10:44 +0000 mediagirl 379185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've set up a wishlist for M on Amazon and am asking that my parents focus on her. I do have an external flash on my wishlist that I think would be a great addition, but I wouldn't mind if they ignored that and just bought her gifts/put money towards her college fund.</p> <p>How about you? </p>
