I usually just give presents to the girls (9.5, 5.5, 3.5, 1) but I haven't even thought about what to give them yet...they have everything already!! oh and dh and I aren't doing presents, we both bought ourselves a few things on black friday... And for daycare teachers we give $ for a joint community present, so that's easy (we aren't allowed to give individual gifts) Hypatia on "*Holiday*Gift*Ideas*2018*" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidaygiftideas2018#post-2860468 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 22:17:59 +0000 Hypatia 2860468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Shared gifts between DD5 & DD1.5: Extreme Rollercoaster (it’s a ride on toy with like 15 feet of track) Annual membership to zoos/museums Annual membership to a local theme park DD5: Trip to Carowinds Performance of The Nutcracker Christmas Train Four ice skating sessions in December Stocking: card games, Jenga, felt dolls, coloring books DD1.5 Stocking: wooden cars, water wow books, a doll, blocks DH A belt, scratch off ticket, Echo Dot for his office, Bluetooth headphones, peppermint bark Me (I do my own shopping) Scratch off ticket, house slippers, ferrero rocher chocolates, and...I don’t know what else yet.

Stocking: markers, coloring book, stickers, some candy, Disney hair bow Dd2, 9 mo: matching Xmas jammies, doll, water bottle Stocking: puffs, hair clips, and hoping my DD1 will agree to give her a stuffed animal or two that she doesn’t use 🤞 DH: just doing stocking: yeti style water bottle, magnetic phone holder for car, dry erase photo calendar for fridge, candy This is me trying to be low key bc our big gift is we’re going to Palm Springs/Joshua Tree and Disneyland over Xmas week. 🤗🤗😀 We do experience gifts with my nieces, we’re going to a theme park that does holiday stuff.

That’s about it. Since she never makes it down a toy isle when people ask her what she wants she says candy canes or treats. We asked for a sleeping bag from MIL. DH and I just do stockings limited at $20. I got a beard product and one month of Birchbox I’ll just shake in there. For MIL & FIL- It’s her 60th bday Christmas so we sent a Le Cruset Dutch oven for her bday and a batter bowl and au gratin dishes for Christmas. My mom- A framebridge print and a gold leaf Ornament. My nephews- matching HA windbreakers and shoes. Some shoes for Matt’s cousins and gift cards for others- they are all College age or younger. Some clothing items for friends kids. That’s about it. We just moved across the country so gift giving will be extra simple in the coming years.
