My son can take it or leave it. I think it's because we don't have it set up on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2642317 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 08:21:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 2642317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 year old: Great Wolf Lodge trip is her big gift.

She's getting pots and pans, M&amp;D cleaning kit, baby stroller/playpen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2642208 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 23:30:59 +0000 Truvy 2642208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 year old: dollhouse, preferably one that can fit her barbies<br /> 1 year old: rocking horse from Pottery Barn</p> <p>I need an idea an idea for a big gift from my parents that could be for both of them.

This year she is getting:</p> <p>Stroller for a baby doll</p> <p>A winter coat</p> <p>Books, books, and more books</p> <p>Gingerbread house kit</p> <p>Some activity books (dress up sticker books)</p> <p>ETA: for her stocking she'll get some nail polish and accessories (dress up bracelets and necklaces) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2642110 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 19:05:38 +0000 sandy 2642110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: We have Osmo (was gifted to LO) and it's pretty cool. She started with the tanagrams - it shows you a picture on the iPad and you recreate it with the tiles/shapes. It lights up when you get a shape in the correct spot and then all lights up when you complete it. </p> <p>She also has numbers for math which she really enjoys. I'd say the games you can play with numbers are her favorite. She also has the letters and the coding sets. </p> <p>I have no idea how much it costs since it was gifted to us but she has consistently played with it and enjoys it so I'd say it's a good gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2642102 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 18:45:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2642102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The big gift is a train table for them to "share".

Her grandparents were going to but I can't remember why it didn't happen now. I can tell you we played with it at a demo and it was amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2642074 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:30:37 +0000 lemondrop 2642074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: What did you think about Osmo? My MIL brought it up as a Christmas idea, but I don't know anyone IRL who has used it. Did you think it was worth it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370718 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 18:28:54 +0000 illumina 2370718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting her a wooden play shop/market stall and some books.

Not sure how that is going to go, for both Christmas and birthday, from both sets of grandparents, Santa and us.

I've also bought a couple of Christmas books that I plan to let him open leading up to the holiday, and some clothes that we'll either wrap or put in his stocking. </p> <p>I'm not sure what we're getting LO2. He'll only be 5-6 weeks old. For his stocking, I'd like to do a set of bandana bibs, a wubbanub, take n play music toy. Otherwise, maybe one present from his brother that he can grow into? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370674 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 15:55:32 +0000 BeachMama 2370674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old has requested the Anna, Elsa, and Snow White Magic Clip dolls. We are also getting her a balance bike. My parents will probably get some toys and clothes, though we've asked them to tone it WAY down from last year. And no more frozen toys, hopefully!</p> <p>DS is only 8 months and doesn't really need anything. Probalby some books and new clothes to last thru winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370672 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 15:53:02 +0000 Bubbles 2370672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have got DS a play kitchen!

We bought it used and the sellers included a bunch of tracks and trains and randomly a basket of hotwheels type cars and trucks. We also got a bunch of books and they each will get some new clothes and snow boots (unless they need them early). We are getting them each one toy from us and one from each other. Lo2 is getting a barn and animals and an alphabet magnet toy. Lo2 is still up in the air. I have a floor puzzle but I have like 3 other things I want him to get so we just have to choose 1 - either a road map type rug to play with the new hotwheels, a balance board, or a board game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370121 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:55:56 +0000 autumnleaves 2370121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Little Tikes grocery cart - we got enough points finally with Pampers Rewards and we are looking at an activity from Ikea - a place he can sit and color/paint/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370111 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:44:29 +0000 Mrs. D 2370111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the ony request she has made has been for Super Barbie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370091 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:08:41 +0000 Astro Bee 2370091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've requested that the grandparents don't go too crazy. DS is the first grandchild on both sides, and it's his first Christmas. ILs are getting him a snowsuit. My Mom says she is done shopping for him, but I don't know what. I think she went a little bit crazy, though. :wink: We are flying to spend Christmas there, so hopefully we will have room in our suitcases! Lol. </p> <p>From us he is getting: need - convertible car seat, as my tall boy is almost grown out of the infant seat; want (haha, at this age, who knows) - Habe Wonder Walker; wear - boots, mittens, and maybe a pr of pjs; read - a few board books, including "That's not my owl!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370042 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:35:59 +0000 Greentea 2370042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one gift, with a few parts, hopefully! She is 2.</p> <p>We were going to do a train table, but decided to get her a city rug and lots of hotwheels (her favorite) and some other trucks and a fire rescue set. She loves cars and trucks the most! Maybe a parking garage, and definitely an "Iron Diesel train" she is in love with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-lo-for-the-holidays-this-year#post-2370031 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:23:47 +0000 BSB 2370031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They'll be 3 months so they don't need much.

She wants the Frozen version (saw her cousin with it) but I'm thinking I will get her a generic one that plays mp3s/CDs so we can get more use out of it.</p> <p>DS will get a micro mini scooter from the grandparents. I think we will get him some Mickey Mouse stuff (Duplos, books, etc) and a baby doll (he keeps stealing DD's baby). </p>
