We're Jewish so we do 8 nights of Chanukah. They're all really small and inexpensive though.... when she gets older we'll do 7 inexpensive gifts and one nicer one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-432122 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:52:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 432122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll do one gift from us and one gift from Santa. Obviously they'll get gifts from the grandparents too. Last year we made the mistake of letting Wagon Jr. open both his gifts (from Santa) before leaving for church and we had a mini meltdown when we had to leave. Ah, backfires... so fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-432116 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:44:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 432116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: That's exactly what we are doing. I just feel like the kids get everything and don't appreciate it all. Ah the holidays. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-430730 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:03:37 +0000 Lozza 430730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: We're similar... my parents and my sister go NUTS about presents, so we probably won't actually start buying anything at all for LO ourselves until he's much older.<br /> DH wanted more superhero books to read to LO, so I bought him a couple superhero board books that will clearly also benefit LO :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-430721 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:59:13 +0000 Bao 430721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's our DD's first Christmas.

Otherwise it could get totally crazy! The girls get so much from their aunties and uncles and grandparents that they don't need a lot more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-430611 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:08:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 430611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: My husband and I are trying to do it for each other too! </p> <p>For him:<br /> Something you want - Mandoline for the kitchen ($30)<br /> Something you need - Electric Razor ($40)<br /> Something to wear - Long sleeve shirt ($15)<br /> Something to read - Nook Tablet ($100) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-gifts-are-you-getting-your-toddler#post-430585 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:42:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 430585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's a great rule!

Majority of the time, I say no and the hubs keeps wanting to get stuff for him. So there he is with a room of toys and barely plays with it all. In my defense, we don't have as many toys as some of my friends kids and what he doesn't play with I sell or put away.</p> <p>But when it comes to holidays how many gifts to you get? I've been buying all kinds of stuff on massive sale and stocking. So I think Mavrick will only have 2 from us. 1 on the 24th and 1 on the 25th (seeing it's my inlaws and then my family) </p> <p>But I could give him 10 gifts if I wanted to seeing the closet is stocked with gifts. I might actually put up stockings this year and fill them with small stuff.</p> <p>How about you? </p>
