She's going to be spoiled by my family (his doesn't celebrate Christmas) so I'm not going nuts. It will definitely probably stay around $50-60, max. And that's just if I include some clothes in the next size she'll need anyway!</p> <p>Like PPs, I just want to be able to say it was from her first Christmas :) she'll be about 3 months, so won't know the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409540 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:21:28 +0000 heffalump 409540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent a total of $25 on all 8 chanukah gifts this year. She doesn't understand gifts so I didn't feel the need to spend a lot.</p> <p>When she gets older I'll buy 7 cheaper gifts and one nice gift for the last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409537 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:19:20 +0000 chopsuey 409537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I know! I was telling my Lo that I can't wait til she starts talking to me in full sentences!<br /> So you should order that vtech phone!<br /> It's 12 something right now with amazon prime!<br /> When i bought it the other day it was 14+4 dollars in shipping!!!! (Sold by private vendor) now sold by amazon.<br /> I'm so annoyed! Why do they do that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409530 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:08:30 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 409530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Omg that is soo cute!! Haha I can't wait til they become even more verbal bc some of the older toddlers I know say THE CUTEST things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409526 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:06:34 +0000 chopsuey 409526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I ordered the vtech you listed! Lo loves phones too. She puts things to her ear and babbles/has a 5 minute convo with herself! :) actually she pretends she's talking to her Eemo, halmuhnee or appa! Never me since I'm always with her :P </p> <p>She calls the phone a "hello." Lol we think it's cute so haven't corrected her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409512 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:57:28 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 409512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I'm thinking about buying Noelle a play phone too! She's obsessed with our phones (or any square object that could possibly resemble a phone) and loves "talking" in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409433 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:13:05 +0000 Mrs. Fix 409433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's our LO's first Christmas and I'm trying to stick to the four gift rule because I know the grandparents are going to go crazy! Plus it's a tradition I'd like to start so why not right away!</p> <p>Need: diapers<br /> Want: musical toy (I'm assuming...)<br /> Read: set of Sassy brand books<br /> Wear: new jammies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409304 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:04:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 409304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't celebrate Christmas but we had our holiday 3 weeks ago and we did nothing with LO;/ He was 3w old!<br /> Grandparents got us clothing and gift-cards to BRU. So, I went out and bought him a Moby wrap and some other stuff with those:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409289 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:52:44 +0000 BananaPancakes 409289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him a new BlaBla doll and that might be it. I'll probably end up getting him some bath toys, though, since he's really been getting into bath time lately. He'll only be 8 months and is the first grandchild on both sides, so I'm sure he'll be spoiled. Plus I just really dislike having to deal with a ton of toys, and plan on keeping all of our Christmases small for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409274 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:48:15 +0000 Andrea 409274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I ordered it online and the table came the other day. It is HUUUUUUUUGE so I may regret this, but we'll find somewhere for it to go, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409234 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:24:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not much. I might spend a little more if I see some good black friday deals, but we don't have the extra money to spend on stuff he doesn't need. I said $20 but it might be a little more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409233 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:24:40 +0000 loveisstrange 409233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours will not be more than $100. I have spent like... $30? We'll spend another $30 on an activity table and then she'll get a few small things for her stocking. So, I say $75-100 for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409217 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:13:48 +0000 winniebee 409217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Got it for $38 bucks on Amazon today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409210 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:09:12 +0000 regberadaisy 409210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def capping at $100. I have no idea how we're going to swing christmas gifts this year. But somehow some way it'll happen. The nieces and nephews will not suffer because I'm out of a job!</p> <p>@Andrea: I think that is a great idea!<br /> @winniebee: I'm thinking of getting the alligator walker too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409150 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:37:50 +0000 .twist. 409150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never get the boys much, we usually get them each something from santa and something from us. They have a total of 3 sets of grandparents so they get spoiled to no end!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409126 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:26:29 +0000 photojane 409126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it pathetic that I am buying my unborn baby Christmas gifts?! I just figure it's stuff we need anyway... might as well fill her a stocking! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409115 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:20:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 409115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not buying her much for Christmas.

Cost about 17 bucks :)<br /> She's already gotten some Christmas gifts from fam so we don't wanna buy her anything else.<br /> She spoiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409081 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:10:33 +0000 mediagirl 409081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: hahaha I feel the same way - I want her to be able to open something and have wrapping paper around to take pictures of her in. She will be sitting a bit better in another month, I'm sure. I figure if nothing else, we can take wrapping paper pictures at my parents house the weekend before. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409046 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:58:03 +0000 winniebee 409046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Agree...I only got him even what I got him so I can think "That was for Tyler's first Christmas."

We don't plan on spending much. Plus, she'll probably get toys from the in-laws. I also plan on getting her a stacking toy, but will likely buy it before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-409030 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:51:00 +0000 polkadots 409030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I'll post pictures!

I also bought a lot of things on consignment in the fall so the prices were really low (2 books and 2 puzzles for $1 each, play table for $20, and Little People for $5). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-408941 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:01:50 +0000 polkadots 408941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>were making her a kitchen which should cost between $75-$100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-will-you-spend-on-your-lo-for-holidays#post-408938 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:00:42 +0000 Mrs.B 408938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our older kids are teens so we spend more on them then our younger 2. DS is 4 and I spent around $400 on him this year but only spent maybe $125 on DD because she will only be 10 weeks on Christmas. I wouldn't have gotten her anything if it was just her but since Santa is still real to DS we had to get her stuff from Santa. </p>
