Most of it is little things I plan to pull out to get me through the last two months of being pregnant (now until mid Sept) but some might be Christmas, some stuff he is not ready for yet.</p> <p>I also cycle toys, so some of that stuff had been seen before but i am waiting to bring it out again, a few months in the closest is almost like new again at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2587465 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:28:32 +0000 caterw 2587465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have anything quite yet, but I have been busy on my Gifts board Pinterest hahaha. I want to be done buying stuff before baby #2 comes in November. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2587375 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:42:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2587375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lego Elves set because the main character shares DD's name. A bunch of Mini Chou Chou dolls since they're discontinued and on sale (super adorable and DD loves them). Sylvanian family accessories and I also have a few long hoarded Mooshka rag dolls that I scored for 80% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2587101 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:47:10 +0000 nana87 2587101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I'm the same way, I'm too impatient and want to see her enjoy the gifts right away! Like, I bought lo a little farm set for prime day (barn, animals, truck, little fences) and I could have saved it-- she'll still be into that in December, and probably be able to create more detailed imaginary play scenarios with it then than now-- but I wanted to see her play with it now, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2587054 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 17:23:04 +0000 farawayyama 2587054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I have a tricycle for her September birthday and a play kitchen for christmas, plus books for both. I also have maybe half her stocking stuffers. We have a limited budget so I work hard throughout the year to stretch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586965 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:35:09 +0000 catlady 2586965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple things, a game from Prime day and an Ikea train set (since we were there buying furniture). I have them stashed away for either her birthday (Oct) or Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586912 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 12:14:19 +0000 catgirl 2586912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one - a play tent I got an amazing deal on. Not sure if it will be for her birthday or Christmas since both are in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586905 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 12:09:47 +0000 snowjewelz 2586905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one toy that I got on clearance that I stowed away for now. Not sure when I'll bust it out for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586890 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:40:46 +0000 KT326 2586890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about it. My due date is right around Christmas, I need to get everything done early!</p> <p>Target Cartwheel has 20% off Lego City Fire sets. He has been eyeing the fire station for awhile. I might just go ahead and get it and stash it away for his big present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586866 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:59:17 +0000 BSB 2586866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did buy some gifts that they are too young to use. I could use them as xmas gifts. Good idea and thanks for the reminder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586859 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:49:58 +0000 travellingbee 2586859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got two toys for LO2 on prime day- tinker toys and Lincoln logs. Those are for Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586857 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:47:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2586857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a jewelry box I got on Prime day for DD for Xmas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586806 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 09:34:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 2586806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh, I can't buy gifts ahead because I get too excited and have to give them right away! I seriously have a problem! So I wait until end of October/beginning on November and then wrap them RIGHT AWAY so that way I'm less tempted! The "gift creep" is strong over here ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586777 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 08:41:59 +0000 avivoca 2586777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet...I have a birthday to get through first. But I'm planning on buying a Nod chair for A in the next month or so and saving it until Christmas (it will likely be her only gift from us) and I have a list of things to get as they come available (books that haven't been published yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586776 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 08:41:48 +0000 littlebug 2586776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our neighbor just gave us a play kitchen, so that's stashed away for Christmas. Other than that, we have nothing. I'll start slowing picking stuff up over the next few months. We do want/need/wear/read, so it's relatively simple. The kitchen will probably be A's want, and then I'll get some food/dishes as her need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586772 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 08:28:20 +0000 ElbieKay 2586772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell no, that is what Amazon Prime is for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586736 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:35:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2586736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have an art easel for LO1 and a dream blanket for LO2 stashed away. Not sure if they will be Christmas or birthday since they both have end of year birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586714 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 06:34:30 +0000 looch 2586714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I mean, I have some stuff stashed, like small cars, stickers, games, but those are mostly for good behaviour rewards.</p> <p>I won't start thinking about what my son wants for Christmas until the Toys R Us catalog comes out and he goes through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586669 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 22:59:05 +0000 youboots 2586669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all of her Christmas and birthday gifts (March) are bought. I'm a planner. We also do want/need/wear/need so it's easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586657 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 22:30:22 +0000 Miss Ariel 2586657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I placed an usborne last week that I'm planning on using for the holidays. Other than that I've haven't started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586612 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 20:52:13 +0000 HappyBaker 2586612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I got DS his first train set, and DD a puzzle tile thing from Prime Day...and I had placed an Usborne order that I just put aside for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586598 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 20:16:04 +0000 LemonJack 2586598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I bought a book and small toy for DD on Prime Day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-holiday-gifts-squirreled-away-yet#post-2586563 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 19:37:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 2586563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target's big toy clearance got me thinking! I wasn't really impressed by it though (only cause my kids aren't into what they clearanced out anyway). </p> <p>A local mom owned shop had a big sale recently, too. So - embarrassingly - I do have some things put away. Ha! </p>
