Can we start a thread for this? Tell me what you are getting for all those in your life- littles, big kids, husbands, what you are asking for, etc. I need inspiration.

We got C a Nintendo Switch and an Infinity Gauntlet. He's been asking for both FOREVER and they are the only thing on his list. H was really hard because there isn't anything he needs (thanks to C's hand-me-downs) and he's not asking for stuff yet. We got him a Magna-doodle, this little game where you pick cards and follow the actions (kind of like Simon Says), and one of those big floor mats that has roads and sruff on it for playing with cars. DH I have colourful socks, Saxx underwear, one of those hats with the ear flaps, and a gift certificate to go toward a tattoo he is planning.
I don't have a wishlist for myself. I have absolutely no idea what I want. I did suggest to my mom to get me some nice boots which I'm pretty sure she did.

That’s my issue also danib. J gets all the hand me downs. And his birthday recently also isn’t helping. I did mention to my family a membership to our local children’s museum. Or the zoo. My H hasn’t given me one single thing. Jerk. I really want an immersion blender, a pair of hunter boots, and a naked eye palette. That’s really it.

MH and I don't do gifts for each other anymore.
M is getting: princess lunch box, peter pan toys, pop the pig game, shimmer shine Zeta doll, some books and some coloring stuff - possibly a new bike H is getting: anywhere chair, mickey backpack, rain jacket, helmet, umbrella, water wow things, books & a few melissa & doug puzzles

I still have to think about birthday gifts for both MH and DS2.
I have no ideas for anyone. Any ideas I come up with I give to family because they are constantly asking me what to get everyone. I have Amazon wish lists for the boys and myself.
I have a long wish list for myself. Mostly yoga pants and some baking stuff. Nothing exciting. An immersion blender would be awesome though!

We do the Want/Need/Wear/Read plus one gift from Santa thing, so:
Everett W: legos- just the classic ones that he can make whatever he wants N: new winter jacket W: new tennis shoes R: a few my first reader books S: Ultimate Paw Patrol Fire Truck - he talks about this thing all damn day and night, I think his life would end if Santa didn’t bring it
Lincoln: W: baby doll stroller N: twin size sheets for next spring when I move her out of the crib W: something cute, not sure what yet R: The Rainbow Fish - we actually don’t have this one yet and I think L would like it! S: not sure yet, I need to see what’s left on her list after Christmas

M: Dress up station with dresses and accessories Ride on toy Flash cards Play doh Some monkey practice dressing skills doll Tracing workbooks Books Melissa and Doug broom/mop set Work bench (She doesn’t get birthday toys and family doesn’t get her much if anything at all, so it’s a lot and I feel like I may have already wrapped more that what I wrote. It’s something I’m working on)
H: Car security camera Sneakers Socks Underwear Combo iPhone/Apple watch docking station Nixplay for his desk A frame to put the first dollar he made at the office in
SMIL/FIL One of the little echo things Gift card for a local restaurant in their town
MIL She wants money. It’s a normal thing for her culture and I’m not supposed to feel weird. I still do.
Sister/BIL Echo show Little things to put in a stocking for them like candy and the stuff in the target bullseye’s playground.
Brother/SIL idk yet. We normally send them food like one of those boxes of steaks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mom Nixplay seed Compression socks A silhouette cut out of M Princess Diana tribute tartan scarf
Nana (she’s housebound) Yeti mug A no spill mug carrier Hearing aid batteries Her favorite candies Delicious protein bars and high fiber snacks Photo book of M’s second year Comfy socks A charging bank for her phone
H’s step sister & family No Fing idea. They’re ignorant Trumpers and that’s as nice as I can be. I only want to get them something because they’ll be there if my SMIL doesn’t make other plans and we actually get to see them on Black Friday.

My H and I are (more or less) skipping Christmas gifts this year. But his birthday is December 4th so I still have to come up with something.
A: not sure of the specifics but she'll definitely get books, her absolute favorite, I know that much. 🤣

We are going to get Lilah probably some books and art stuff. Lillian is getting educational pre-k stuff. She's loving learning right now. We are asking everyone else just help with their extracurricular stuff.
No idea about DH. Probably tea and something for running.
My parents and inlaws will get really nice frames for pictures of the girls/a photo book. That's what they ask for every year. I'll also get something small for each of them, but haven't decided yet.
Sil and her husband: gift card for her and some super spicy thing for him.
My brother and sil: hiking or cooking related gifts.
I'm asking for sewing related things, books, and clothes shopping.

I just want a 1/4 zip fleece. A color that’ll go with my black and navy scrub bottoms. Maybe a heathered light blue.

M: we got him this indoor swing. gym1.net/product/indoor-swing-package/We were hoping that we could attach the baby swing we have but cannot. So we will be ordering that attachment and I'm trying to convince DH to get back the cocoon one too. We got a gear toy at Costco. We want to get the baby shark push book with songs. That's all I've got for now.

I bought C a chair for the living room and a table and chairs set for the playroom. I really want to take them out of the boxes now but don't know if I should save them for Christmas. I was going to get the chair for his birthday but waited since we were moving anyway.
ETA: the socks and outfits I bought for him also arrived today...
