kleigh the nips and chips for your H’s stocking...just like fun snacks or do you walk around with your top off feeding him some fancy kettle cooks? Omg I’m dying. I am completely clothed. Just like, alcohol nips. We don’t keep much liquor in the house these days so it’s a little tongue in cheek to go along with the get out of jail free card lol. Omg I’m crying. Duh. Of course it’s alcohol. 😂😂😂😂😂

TIL that mini alcohol bottles are called nips. I honestly thought she was talking about the cheese crackers lol. Aren't there crackers called Nips? I just read it and didn't give it much thought.

How many gifts are you guys getting for LO? I have 3 right now. I’m only planning on getting 1-2 more. He gets so much from family that I don’t think we need to get him so much. Does that make sense? Or am I being a grinch? Gifts is not my love language lol.

I got maybe a dozen or so, but thats split between us and Santa, and includes everything from sippy cups to puzzles to his big car mat (so mostly small things, not all big things)

Or am I being a grinch? Gifts is not my love language lol. I’d also say about a dozen or so. We give them one big ticket item each (like a new Thomas track set) and the rest are books, clothes, a few trains/cars for sets they already have, board games, etc.

I wouldn’t worry about it cookswithwine Presents aren’t really what it’s all about anyway. M doesn’t get stuff from family members or anything for her birthday (I think vacation should be enough) so she gets a bit more because there’s new developmental stuff I want to get her. And for some reason once midsummer hits I have to save it for Christmas.

I got C 4-5 things I think. I also got him PJs, pants, shirts and socks but I started using those right away because it's cold and he needed them. I have a few other ideas for him but I try to save things for when people ask me what to get him. Then people end up not listening anyway.

cookswithwine I think it’s very much a person to person thing depending on finances, traditions, family/friends who also gift, whether or not you do Santa, age, etc. Last year they each got 4 gifts. One of those was a set of clothes, one of those was two books wrapped together, and then I don’t remember the other two but I remember thinking my family would think I was being stingy giving “only” four gifts, two of which were questionable. But at that age, they really didn’t get into things like they do now. And we were still getting used to new finances last year, etc. This year is slightly different because they actually have things I know they like, and I don’t buy them gifts throughout the year really (maybe bubbles or a book), and my family won’t give them much if anything. Also, I got 1/2 the presents a few months ago at Kmart’s going out of business sale marked down to like $5 - the sled, etc.

Oh yeah kleigh M can thank Toys R Us closing down for about 3/4 of her gifts. Very easy to buy things when they’re 75% off.

They probably have about a dozen each right now, but that includes some stocking stuffers. I'll probably get a couple more small things for their stockings - mostly food items, and call it good.

Ok so I’m stingy.... lol. I guess I need to get some more stuff. I think it depends on what their gifts are, too. We don't have any "big" gifts this year. So instead they are each getting a bunch of smaller things. Legos, trucks/cars, puzzles, books, etc.

She'll get plenty of stuff from her grandparents and other family, so I see no need to buy a ton. We also tend to get her things like books and small toys throughout the year so it's not like she's lacking.
