She'll be 10 months. I've been collecting ideas for months already! She'll get gifts and stocking stuff from us and at my parents' house. We bought her gifts last Christmas, before she was even born, so we're definitely excited for her to be able to unwrap gifts this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122677 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:31:34 +0000 shopaholic 1122677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our parents kind of suck at giving wrapped "things" gifts. So I will HAVE to buy stuff for K! :wink: I'm planning to get her a PBK Anywhere Chair. Maybe a pushing walker toy if she is starting to stand/pull up by then (she'll be 9 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122635 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 23:05:04 +0000 Grace 1122635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. She'll only be 4 months old and she'll get spoiled by everyone else. Maybe something special to commemorate her first Christmas? Like a special ornament? I can't imagine wrapping up a bunch of stuff so that I can unwrap it for her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122634 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 23:04:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1122634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are getting her the wooden Kidcraft play kitchen from costco.</p> <p>Baby #2 will be 3-4 weeks old so I don't think we will get her anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122632 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:59:30 +0000 Elderberrygin 1122632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Socks are a great idea! Especially while LO is too young to understand the whole gift thing. Adding that to my list of stocking stuffers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122629 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:57:05 +0000 hellocupcake 1122629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year she was 6 days old and we bought her a book (:<br /> This year, we will be gifting her a cozy coupe for Christmas (: </p> <p>When she's older, we will probably do the 4 gift rule (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122621 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:46:04 +0000 skibobrown 1122621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get her a play kitchen or maybe a table and chair set for her play room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122613 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:35:46 +0000 Sapphiresun 1122613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...I dunno. She's only be 5 months, so won't remember, or actually be able to open them or anything, so I kind of don't see the point. I'll probably wrap up some clothes if she's not already 6-9 month size by then. </p> <p>I'm sure the grandparents and extended family will spoil her rotten though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122593 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:10:49 +0000 HLK208 1122593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. New books, clothes, a PBK play table and an oversized anywhere chair for B. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122589 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:09:11 +0000 travelgirl1 1122589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, we'll definitely be buying her stuff. I'm actually really excited about wrapping them up as I know she'll get the most fun from the boxes/paper. She doesn't have family in Canada either so I think we'll probably go OTT to compensate for her not having family here to spoil her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122569 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:46:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1122569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've already bought her a Duplo play house for Christmas and I'd previously hoarded a cog wheels toy that came late from Zulily last Christmas, but I'm thinking about saving that for yet another year! I just bought her a pair of stuffed animals, one I wanted to give her now and another for New Year's day, but depending on what she gets, I may give it early. </p> <p>She didn't get too many gifts from the in-laws last year, so I want to make sure she has new things to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122553 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:33:05 +0000 Arden 1122553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We do the want/need/wear/read rule too. This year it'll be:<br /> Want - JellyCat stuffed animal<br /> Need - Walker<br /> Wear - Socks<br /> Read - Baby Lit board book</p> <p>We have an amazon wishlist for grandparents with stuff like books and wooden toys and such on it, but I doubt they'll follow it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122550 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:27:36 +0000 sarac 1122550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll get her a few things. From our family we'll ask for money for her college fund, but some of them will probably do something else. I enjoy giving gifts, but we keep things pretty minimal in terms of gift giving. I don't want to create a gift obsessed child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts/page/2#post-1122231 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:34:55 +0000 Elderberrygin 1122231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought LO's Christmas gifts during our last trip to Ikea - a wire bead maze and a wooden stacking toy. We'll requesting books and clothes from family is they ask for suggestions. She has so many plush animals, I'm hoping she doesn't get more. Our house is overrun by her menagerie and she shows zero interest in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121881 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:25:02 +0000 mediagirl 1121881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The entire tree is going to be covered in gifts. I've been buying things all year, when on sale and used, in anticipation. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121829 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:59:40 +0000 dolphin 1121829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's birthday and christmas are only a few days apart too! I will be getting her gifts for both, but not sure what yet. Our place is small so we don't have the space for big items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121828 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:59:35 +0000 hilsy85 1121828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup!

If grandparents ask what to get him, it will be books, wooden Montessori toys, or a 529 contribution.

I kind of want to tell my in-laws what to do because they go crazy OVERBOARD with gifts, but maybe I should just try to be gracious and not do that, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121768 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:38:18 +0000 avivoca 1121768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not...she'll be just shy of three months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121766 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:37:04 +0000 Bao 1121766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We already started. She doesn't get many toys unless it's a holiday or her birthday. I do buy her books often though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121763 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:35:24 +0000 sslm 1121763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: just ourselves :) I'm not a big fan of telling people what to do, especially when it comes to gifts! They wouldn't listen anyways haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121749 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:30:02 +0000 rawrasaur 1121749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already have two toys I bought for her when they were on sale so I am leaving it at that. Her first birthday is earlier that month and I have two presents for it as well. I have also told my husband he can pick out a present if he wants to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121700 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:07:53 +0000 lamariniere 1121700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely will. DS is getting a baby sister right before Christmas. :wink: We don't really celebrate Christmas, but we do give gifts. DS's birthday is just a few days after Christmas and we treat that as a bigger deal than Christmas. For months, he has been saying "we should buy a bike with pedals for my birthday" so that's what he's going to get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-buy-your-los-any-christmasholiday-gifts#post-1121694 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:06:02 +0000 Adira 1121694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Are you going to try to get the grandparents to follow that rule?
