And love that the 4 year old wanted a sewing machine!<br /> @Bluemasonjar: I got DS a Pokemon gameboard last year hoping that he'd actually want to play the game... we ended up using it for decoration in his room. :grin: Hope you have better luck!</p> <p>We do our lists right after Thanksgiving so I have plenty of time to shop, and no changes once they give it to Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927804 Tue, 20 Dec 2022 11:39:44 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2927804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS (7) asked for a tablet so we are finally giving in and got him an Amazon Fire Tablet and a binder for his Pokemon cards. That is all he asked for. We are also giving him a deck of Pokemon cards and a play mat so he can learn the game in addition to collecting them.</p> <p>My 4 year old DS keeps changing his list slightly and told Santa he wants a bunch of things but we have focused on a few things to help set his expectations for Christmas morning. He is getting a new dump truck (he asked for one despite us having 2 already), a remote controlled spider (he is getting a Hexbug remote controlled dragon instead) and a Pokemon keychain like his brother's.</p> <p>I start asking for their wish lists early and then we repeat them a few times before going to see Santa about 2 weeks before Christmas so there aren't any surprises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927788 Sun, 18 Dec 2022 06:46:22 +0000 caitcat 2927788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: One of my daughter's friends has a ride on toy like that and they have so much fun with it! That's a clever substitute for a plane/spaceship. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927787 Sat, 17 Dec 2022 06:26:13 +0000 pachamama 2927787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old boy wants a sewing machine, so I got him that so we can learn together. I got him a play veterinarian kit so maybe he will stop dragging my cats around, a craft organizer because he loves small collectible things, and a travel pillow for our trip to Europe.<br /> My 7 year old wants a "2 seater small plane/ spaceship he can actually fly in. Santa listens to me, he really does!" :silly: I got them wooden bows and arrows, a tackle box, a Blink camera so we can spy on the deer at our cabin up north, a flight suit costume and this cool ride on toy his friend has, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09M2342B9/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A3ULD558QQYTPY&#038;th=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09M2342B9/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A3ULD558QQYTPY&#038;th=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927786 Fri, 16 Dec 2022 07:55:40 +0000 Chuckles 2927786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS(9) changed his mind several times, and of course settled on the thing that doesn't seem to exist. He wants a big stuffed animal porg (a silly star wars character). They have ones that are like 6 inches tall, but nothing bigger. Hopefully that will be fine, but he definitely emphasized the "big" part. DD(3) wants a stuffed animal, which we're getting her and it's fine, but she already has a million, so I do wish she'd picked something else but she couldn't be distracted from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927785 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 22:10:19 +0000 lady baltimore 2927785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (7) tells everyone who asks that she wants roller skates or roller blades, which she is NOT getting (I don't know what got the idea in her head, but realistically, we have nowhere for her to skate with any regularity). We don't do Santa presents, but I am hoping that she will be content on Christmas morning with a few other gross motor toys, and maybe some hand-me-down ice skates (she will be taking lessons in the new year). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927783 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 22:59:02 +0000 winter_wonder 2927783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (6) wants LOL dolls, squishmallows, some new boots, and Barbies. She also wants one of those Baby Alive dolls that eats and wets its diaper. I keep telling her that DD2 (1) has a lot of Baby Alive similarities and I don't think Santa will bring her one 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927730 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:49:51 +0000 LadyDi 2927730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS (7.5) asked for a nerf gun and this tabletop mini golf thing he saw in one of the endless toy catalogs that came to our house. DS (4.5) asked for a train (OMG we have so many trains, spiderman toys, and christmas socks. DS (3.5) we coached into stuff we already had for him, games and spiderman toys. We also had to coach my four year old otherwise he comes up with things like "a train that transforms into a helicopter but also roars like a dinosaur." Pretty sure he just does that to f*ck with me since I think he knows Santa isn't real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927728 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:20:18 +0000 josina 2927728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: lol, I love it when they make it easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927727 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 23:33:44 +0000 Miss Ariel 2927727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD at 8 wants a Gabby’s dollhouse, which I bought in the summer after not being able to find one last year.</p> <p>And DS, 6, wants weapons… spear, sword, bow and arrow, etc… none of which I plan on buying him. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927725 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:14:35 +0000 erinbaderin 2927725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My six year old wants a Lego Ninjago set, a blue Lamborghini (a toy one, he keeps assuring us), and “a crystal tree” (this wire tree where the leaves are little crystals that he saw at a store). My eight year old wants a Neymar Jr sticker (he’s trying to fill his World Cup sticker book), a soccer ball, and the action figures for his uncle and aunt, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford, who are wrestlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927724 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 20:47:52 +0000 karenbme 2927724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old only wants a blue truck from Santa. Whenever we ask if she wants anything else she says that she already said she wants a blue truck. We would be fine with two Santa gifts, but if she only wants a blue truck, a blue truck it is. 😅 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927721 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 14:57:27 +0000 alphagam84 2927721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids know Santa only brings stuff that fits in their stockings. My daughter is 7 and knows Santa isn't true (asked at age 6 and I didn't want to lie to her-she didn't care at all) so only my 4 year old believes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927720 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 13:55:48 +0000 caitcat 2927720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: That's perfect!

My 5 year old daughter wants an pretend ice cream set, a tent for her favorite stuffed animal, and a "real" doctor kit. She added an extra note in her letter to Santa that the doctor kit should not be plastic. So I'm trying to work that one out. :)</p> <p>They both put a "mama surprise guinea pig" or something like that on their general holiday wishlists, but I haven't been able to track it down. I'm thinking if they're still into it, I'll look for it for their birthdays after the holiday rush has calmed down. But I kind of bet they'll forget once I can get the holiday toy catalogs out of our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927716 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 11:46:57 +0000 Lahela017 2927716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (3.5) asked for a "Big Kid Thomas Toy". She's getting an off brand wooden train set I found on sale, that I added a few wood Thomas characters to.</p> <p>She's also getting a board game from Santa and a few things from us. (A camper playset, new books, and a toy dinosaur from baby brother) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927714 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 10:35:43 +0000 catgirl 2927714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always had DD ask for only 1 or 2 gifts from Santa. We have also always said that Santa knows the rules of our house and won't bring something that parents are not okay with. </p> <p>This year DD asked for a magic mixies crystal ball and a really big squishmallow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-the-kids-want-from-santa#post-2927713 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 09:48:10 +0000 josina 2927713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did your LO's put on their Santa list this year? Do you have to "coach" them at all on what to put (or not put!)?</p> <p>DS, 8, wanted an XBox or an Iphone which I had to tell him was too expensive for Santa to get, and with a phone leaves monthly payments for mom and dad so he wouldn't do that.<br /> I had to coach him to put some cheaper items on his list. He settled with a hoverboard and galaxy star projector and a R/C truck (he's getting the first 2).</p> <p>DD, 5, wants a nursery set (which she actually got the same one 3 years ago and I sold it last year because she never played with it!), makeup, and a Barbie house (she has a doll house already so Santa is not bringing that one, she's getting the first 2 items).</p> <p>Santa brings 1-2 items to our house and the rest come from mom and dad. </p>
