I just need to get DD PJs for Christmas Eve and some books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2331220 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 07:35:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2331220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I googled Pretty Pretty Princess because my DD loves princesses and all things frilly - that game is $104 on amazon - what???</p> <p>Where did you buy it at? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330607 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 15:45:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2330607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: How do you do toys for advent? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330585 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 15:25:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2330585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our sauna is full of toys I've hoarded away or accumulated for Advent. Plus, she has whole box of toys from my mom for Christmas. I don't think we're getting her anything more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330571 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 15:10:00 +0000 mediagirl 2330571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: nope. My lo's wishlist has a LOT of books on it and very few toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330558 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 15:04:42 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2330558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure. We tried to stick to want need wear read plus stocking last year. So far my ideas are:</p> <p>Want: a box full of balls<br /> Need: little table and chairs maybe? For new playroom<br /> Wear: Christmas PJs<br /> Read: animal books. Obsessed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330542 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:53:01 +0000 Tidybee 2330542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there will be any big ticket items this year. DD1 will probably get some small things for "want", i.e. a "pony to sleep with, sofia duplos" and books. We'll get DD2 a few little baby toys or some new bowls, baby snacks from "Santa" so DD1 doesn't think he left her out. We don't buy much for the girls because DD1 and DD2 are the only grandkids on both sides with 5 sets of aunts/uncles (and great aunts/uncles) who seem to have gifts for them every time we see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330540 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:51:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2330540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has made it very clear to me what he wants for Christmas: the Paw patrol cruisers with their dogs. Each one is about $10-$12 on amazon, and there are seven of them. He won't get all seven from us, but my SIL asked what he wanted for Christmas, so I think she may get him one or two as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330534 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:49:07 +0000 blackbird 2330534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E's for sure getting a shockproof tablet holder. Otherwise.....not sure what to get them! I'll probably order them gifts a week before Christmas, after everyone else has asked for their list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330529 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:47:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2330529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that I have no desire to buy them more toys. There isn't anything they really want either. And I can't think of anything that wouldn't be a guaranteed flop. We are for sure limiting to 1 Something you Want, 2 Something you need, 3, Something to Wear, and 4 something to Read. I for sure can find something to wear and something to read but they really dont need or want anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330527 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:46:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2330527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I will be getting them the games Candyland and Pretty Pretty Princess for them to share.</p> <p>Some Dino Dan DVDs for DD2, and a locket for DD1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330522 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:42:49 +0000 regberadaisy 2330522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue for either girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330516 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:35:41 +0000 mrsrain 2330516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves to "cook" so we're getting her a play kitchen :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330511 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 14:26:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2330511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no clue!

Open to suggestions???<br /> Wear: apron to help me cook in the kitchen and a Goose shirt from Wire and Honey (to match the Maverick shirt I'm getting Hubs)<br /> Read: books I've gotten from daycare's Scholastic sales </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330127 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:34:46 +0000 peaches1038 2330127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will only be about 6 weeks old, so he's getting zutano booties and some super cute bibs that are too expensive to justify otherwise :silly: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Matimati-Baby-Bandana-Absorbent-Triangles/dp/B00SZ5UGWO" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Matimati-Baby-Bandana-Absorbent-Triangles/dp/B00SZ5UGWO</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330122 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:33:31 +0000 avivoca 2330122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa is going to bring her some clothes.

No idea what Daddy wants to get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330100 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:21:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 2330100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think bikes this year! I didn't want to do bikes for Christmas since there's always too much snow to actually use them right away, but we've cleaned out our garage so I'm hoping we can move the cars and let them ride in there if the snow is too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330098 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:21:13 +0000 nana87 2330098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get her another Hazel Village animal and more dress up clothes for Chanukah. We have one now and a few outfits, and she likes it a lot, but it's a toy she will sort of grow into more (it's hard for her to put the clothes on herself at 18 months, she just kind of tells me what to do, like, "off!" and "shoes!" haha)</p> <p>If our parents ask for suggestions, we're going to ask for magnatiles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330096 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:19:19 +0000 youboots 2330096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: when I was a nanny for a five year old his parents gave him a stack of presents like 30 and mentioned to me they were bummed he was not excited. Dude was just tired from opening gifts. And wanted to play with what was there. I promised myself I would go small with Christmas when I had children. I think want/need/wear/read helps manage the urge to overdo it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330089 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:15:11 +0000 LulaBee 2330089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: @youboots: - we've never done it before, but with a baby coming a month before Christmas, we need to scale back. I'm excited about it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330085 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:12:55 +0000 petunia354 2330085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's definitely getting a strider bike and a play kitchen. But his birthday is 3 days after Christmas so we'll give him the kitchen for Christmas and the bike for his birthday. He'll also be getting some books, maybe a lego set, puzzles and more cars/trucks/train accessories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330082 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:12:00 +0000 Mrs D 2330082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: We do the want/need/wear/read too!</p> <p>Want: Kindle Kids<br /> Need: Winter Gear (snow suit)<br /> Wear: Christmas Jammies, Maybe a fun new dress<br /> Read: Books I have been stocking up on all year</p> <p>I follow this for my nieces and nephews too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-planned-your-los-christmas-gifts-yet#post-2330078 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:09:35 +0000 youboots 2330078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: we are doing the four gifts too and will follow the guidelines when she's a little older.
