I know I know, but I'm a planner.
And my in laws asked about a wish list for the boys when they were here this past weekend. So it's time (maybe).
What are you getting your kids and what are their ages?

I'm mostly stuck on ds2. Besides clothes, I got nothing. I think I'll order a copy of "the boy who lost his name" (I got one for ds1 for his first Christmas). I think I may just request clothes 🤷
I got a bunch of books for ds1. And I put dress up clothes on his wish list. My FIL is going to get him a big wheel and we may get him a balance bike if there's something on sale on Cyber Monday. I'll get socks for both kids for their stockings.
Ds1 will be 4 a week after Christmas so I tend to save some of the stuff I got for him for his birthday (the balance bike will probably be his birthday gift).

From other relatives- Memberships to children's museums or the zoo. And experience gifts, like gift cards to skyzone.
From us- no clue. I dont usually start buying this early, but I may have to this year with 4 boys now. I will steal gift ideas for AJ through this thread

DS1 (4): magnatiles, kinetic sand, board games, jump rope, kid bath bombs, small suit case and wooden train tracks.
Ds2: clothes, bath toys, board books, piggy bank and an anywhere chair.

We are in the same boat. E doesn’t need much and (N) is also a January baby. I have already started my shopping back in July (for my own sanity).
N (4)- Santa- sit and spin, toy kitchen aid mixer, skateboard, doctors kit
Us- Ukulele
E (1)- Santa- water table, toy bongos, beat bowwow, vetch laptop,
Us- ?

For H I'm thinking clothes, some new hooded towels, maybe some kind of activity thing with a slide, baby play kitchen (looking on FB marketplace for the last 2).

We bought the girls a play kitchen and a bunch of extra food sets and accessories when our TRU went out of business, so they're getting a big joint present. We'll get them both a few small thing too. I have no clue what though.

quinn good call with the sky zone gift cards! I’ll be stealing that one. We have way too many toys for our house already, ugh. For O, 3.5, he is super into the Cars movies right now, so anything having to do with that or race cars in general is a hit. He also still likes paw patrol and has been asking for the big Marshall fire truck so I told him to ask Santa for it. He likes magnatiles at school so I’ll probably look for a set of the generic ones for him. He likes small LEGO sets but I’m not ready for those in our house yet since they’re too small to have around B. When people ask what to get B for his birthday I’ve been suggesting books with personal notes. We did the book instead of a card thing for my baby shower so O has a lot of wonderful books from family and friends and I’d like for B to have some with his name in them, as well. Otherwise I have no idea. He really needs nothing.

For either his birthday or Christmas (his bday is the 19th), one of his gifts will be a toy box. Not sure about anything else, though. Aside from maybe some clothes, he doesn't need much. Maybe one of those little personalized chairs we can put next to his bookcase or something. Gotta come up with something, though, because both sets of grandparents will be asking.
I need to do some research - the mega hotel/casino near our house does this massive holiday ice show every year (the kind where you have to wear special parkas to go in). This year the theme is Charlie Brown Christmas and I really want to take N but I think he might be too young for something that cold.

That book idea is awesome doxiemama. I may steal that. Not to be a downer, but we’ve lost a few family members since then and it’s extra meaningful to me to be able to read those books with O. |

I am not really getting DD2 anything. 😬 The grandparents and her aunt and uncle will get her stuff, and we have so much stuff already. She doesn't need anything. Maybe I'm the worst, lol.
DD1 is asking Santa for "a floating Santa toy for the bath." Which... Lol. I don't even know. I am getting her a kids cookbook and some cooking tools.

thatgolfb. Oh yeah- the advent calendar!! I’m excited to get one for DS1- I think he’ll love it. And I am hoping to get a Wine one for me 😜 We also celebrate St Nick’s and I do Christmas pjs and a small toy/candy.

For DS (4.5) we’re getting him some Thomas the train stuff, some new boots and a stuffed animal
DD1 (2) is getting some stuffed animals, skates/helmet and I’m hoping to score a doll high chair and or stroller.
DD2 won’t get much from us.
The grandparents will take care of clothes and toys.
The family present is a toboggan.

I'm combining my list for birthday/Christmas since they're relatively close. My parents (mom) are getting her a cabbage patch and a 2 ft plastic Christmas tree for her birthday. We're getting her a convertible car seat, haha, and some sort of ride on toy I think - any suggestions??
On my maybe list are a Little People play set, small Ikea table and chairs for the playroom, a xylophone or piano... ?

I think that would be a good gift for her. Not too loud either which is a plus 😉 |

Little People are so great, and the interest in them lasts for... well at least until 4.5 years old. |

Not really sure....
For DD (3), I kind of want to get her a scooter as her big present. Otherwise I have an alphabet puzzle stashed for her bday or Xmas. Towels is a good idea.
No idea for DS. My mom is getting him the child recliner like she did DD.
For us, I don’t know. Money toward our annual state park pass?? I should find more experience places and just ask for those for the whole family.
