I learned the hard way when she asked for Jake pirate ship and I already had her something else. It broke her little heart and I went right on amazin and overnighted it. It honestly broke her heart and she wanted nothing to do with the other toy that she normally would have lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2362212 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 21:32:25 +0000 MrsSRS 2362212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That totally depends on what I think of the toy. If it makes horrible noises or I think LO is unlikely to spend a lot of time playing with it, then no. If I think it will occupy LO really well, then I would try to figure out how to make it work in my plans with some of the things pp have said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2362055 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 19:36:49 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2362055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try to return something you already bought and/or save a present and set it aside until her birthday so that you can get her the item that she has been asking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361812 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:36:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 2361812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try to return something and get it. Or, if it's too late to return, use something I got for her as a gift for someone I was planning to buy for. But we are very Team Santa, and I want to keep the magic aspect that Santa brings you what you wish for if you are nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361804 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:30:50 +0000 JerricaBenton 2361804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I admire you for starting so early! The best part is that you can really enjoy the season cuz you're done shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361793 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:23:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2361793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I want to see this amazing paw patrol item! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361787 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:22:30 +0000 Bao 2361787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: yep, lesson learned! But we have a hard time making sure we buy for everyone so for my anxiety about it I start in October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361786 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:21:49 +0000 Bao 2361786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I don't see that one there but it is $47 on Amazon today, it's usually $60 at Target. </p> <p>I'm trying to sell another gift I bought her. Or maybe my siblings will go in together or something...I'm sure we can think of something! It's more about the money, not so much amount of gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361784 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:20:29 +0000 JerricaBenton 2361784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get it, but this is definitely why I don't start super early. When I've done that in the past, even just for my husband, I end up getting so much stuff because I can't stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361778 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:10:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 2361778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If $$ is the issue and there isn't $50 to spend, I'd see if I could return something else or else wait it out and see how much she continues to ask for it closer to Christmas and see if anyone wants to go in together on it. </p> <p>If its more about the amount of gifts, I'd save some you already bought for Christmas for a birthday or other holiday, and buy the toy she's asking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361767 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:02:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2361767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got his email about Paw Patrol toys up to 35% off...does it help at all? <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/b/ref=pe_2320730_156335180_pe_row1_b1_t/?node=13426630011" rel="nofollow">http://smile.amazon.com/gp/b/ref=pe_2320730_156335180_pe_row1_b1_t/?node=13426630011</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361703 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:35:14 +0000 NCSUchick27 2361703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could donate one of the toys you already bought for her to Toys for Tots or another similar charity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361696 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:32:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2361696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably get it, i truly believe in the magic of Christmas and doing whatever i can (within reason and budget) to get my kids the gifts they want. i'm a huge sucker so i would probably hold something else for their Easter basket or just add one more gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361679 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:22:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2361679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try my best to make it happen unless it was extremely expensive. We budget for Christmas and birthdays all year so if I needed to I would put a gift away for her next birthday and take the price of it from the birthday budget to make room for the new Christmas gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361678 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:20:16 +0000 Chillybear 2361678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would vote for shuffling things around/returning things if she really wants it. </p> <p>Would your daughter be getting any kind of gift cards or gift money? Maybe you go to the store after christmas and let her "buy" it with her gift money </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361673 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:16:24 +0000 fancyfunction 2361673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get it too b/c I know how happy it would make her. But maybe I'm a pushover ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361672 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:16:23 +0000 PinkElephant 2361672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you talk her around to a smaller paw patrol item, or something you already have waiting for her? My three year old really wanted a pink jeep for Anerican Girl sized dolls she saw at Target...I was willing to spend the $$ for Santa to get it, but size wise it is a monstrosity and DH is saying he does t want to look at it in the living room all the time, haha.. I've been planting the seed for a smaller pink car (like a Barbie car), and I think it's working.....hopefully she's not too crushed on Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361671 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:15:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2361671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get it anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361666 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:12:32 +0000 jlm22 2361666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also a sucker and would get it as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361662 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:10:45 +0000 BandDmommy 2361662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get it. But I'm a sucker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361650 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:58:48 +0000 looch 2361650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I think you have a few options, you can put something you bought away for a birthday, you could sell something (I like this idea a lot) or you could ask her if she wants to earn it by doing chores. This works really well with my son, he will try very hard to accomplish the chores if it means a tangible reward.</p> <p>I'll be honest, it's not always about the money, it's more the principle. You can't always get what you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361642 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:52:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2361642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I wouldn't get it. Tell her she can save up money but thats a lot of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361629 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:46:45 +0000 Truth Bombs 2361629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is part of why we are holding off, to give LO time tell us something she really wants. For $50 I would probably just get it even if we already had other things, but I know we are very fortunate to be able to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361626 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:46:22 +0000 Bao 2361626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yes, some of the things. She asked for a lot of character things but I wanted to get some things that would last through the phases as well, that I know she will like! Maybe I can sell a few of her older toys she doesn't play with :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361623 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:45:24 +0000 Charm54 2361623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm all done shopping for DD but at Costco this weekend she saw a Frozen Barbie set that she wanted sooo badly. She even said "I ask Santa for it". She's been talking about it non stop. Since it's the one and only thing she's asked for, I'll make sure she gets it. It's $60 though, ugh. I'll either have my mom get it for her if she needs ideas, or ill save one of her original gifts for her birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361618 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:41:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2361618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: my daughter is the same way. She asked me for a bell for her bike when she got it for her second birthday. She's mentioned it twice since that I forgot with a sad face. She's 3.5 now. I'm getting one for her stocking! LOL<br /> She very rarely asks for things like presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-done-christmas-shopping#post-2361612 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:37:15 +0000 looch 2361612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son doesn't ask for things very often, so when he does, I try to make it happen for him. He doesn't forget and he really does get disappointed. So even though I might be so syked about the gift i picked out, I get that the disappointment he feels is real.</p> <p>Did she express that she wanted the other things you bought? </p>
