Their very first Christmas together they will get a joint gift- trip to Disney from my parents. I also foresee having them share a swing set once we buy a house or things like that. It makes it easy that their birthdays are close enough together that they could also share a party and get the gift at the same time so it doesn't feel like it "belongs" to one of them more than the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-gifts-when-your-kids-are-close-in-age#post-2622274 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:10:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2622274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to get w train table for both of them from Santa this year. W will only be 9 months old so it's mostly to pre-empt any "that's mine!" fights in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-gifts-when-your-kids-are-close-in-age#post-2622221 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:24:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2622221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are 2.5 years apart and I'm thinking we will do a joint bday gift next summer of a swing set.<br /> (Never<br /> Ind that baby's birthday is in December). I like the idea of joint since the toddler is very possessive. Hopefully saying this new thing is for both of you will helps teeny bit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-gifts-when-your-kids-are-close-in-age#post-2622217 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:22:13 +0000 Bao 2622217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my parents did joint gifts for them last year. Shopping cart and grocery stand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-gifts-when-your-kids-are-close-in-age#post-2622216 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:21:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 2622216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking ahead to Christmas..</p> <p>My girls are just about two years apart. They play with a lot of the same toys. I feel like anything tagged for one kid will be something the other will like...I also don't want to buy doubles of everything.</p> <p>Did anyone do more joint gifts than individual gifts, whether from yourself/spouse or Santa? </p>
