DS (6) - nerf guns and target, 3 in 1 games table (air hockey, pool, table tennis) DD (8) - Real Littles stuff, squishies, silly scents pens, jewelry making kit, oil diffuser kit
I’m thinking of getting one Nintendo Switch Lite for them to share. After the above, I am officially out of ideas.

I’m getting both of my boys their own iPods and wireless headphones, so that is the only gifts from us. I’m not sure if iPods will go on sale around thanksgiving or if I should just buy the now?
Santa also brings one gift each, but I have absolutely no idea what that will be.

I’m honestly not sure but I’ve heard friends with kids of similar ages as mine say it’s a big hit. I feel like it’s equivalent to what the Game Boy was to us. I’m hoping it’ll be good for car rides and quiet times in their rooms.

gingy Learning Resources has a really cool cash register as well. DS got it very young and just stopped playing with it like a year ago.

We've been doing a lot of art during the pandemic. We have easels and pour paint kits coming and will probably get a bunch of white clothing for tie dying.

I hope I don't regret it I got my DD knock off Air Pods as an early bday gift. They were $25 I think and honestly you couldn’t tell me they are not Apple Air Pods. I think your DD is a bit older though so she may like the brand name stuff now but I just thought I’d throw that out there.

H uses them and loves the $25 ones so she is just at that name brand age I guess. I may still try another pair

We just don’t think our boys (5 and 7yo) are ready for phones, but are sick of them fighting over the iPad, so thought this might be a good compromise.

I feel like I did see an Ipod one year because we looked at it for Dd but then she started staying after school some for running and spending more time with a friend outside of the house while I worked from home and so we went phone

The boys need new tablets so that will be part of Christmas (which I hate because I'm cringing at dropping that kind of cash on a single present like that). I think my mom is going to get them luggage. I want to find them a telescope to share. Other than that it will be lesser expensive items like clothes, accessories for the tablets like cases, headphones, etc, and a few small things. R has requested a rubix cube so they will probably get those in their stockings. I saw some cute learner chopsticks on amazon that I thought about for stocking staffers too.

Dd has a 6th birthday in two weeks. We’re getting the Barbie dream house. I hate barbies so the compromise is we’re buying the barbies with painted on swimsuits or clothes to minimize the nakedness. We banned LOL dolls.

DS(4 in February): Spirograph set, plastic gears, wooden trucks to build and paint, dress up clothes, a couple big floor puzzles. DS(1): fuzzy blanket with his name embroidered on it. Maybe a pikler triangle. Did you get the Spirograph Junior or the regular one for your 4yo? I have this on my list too.

I am going to have to dig deep this year. It’s a travel year for us (up to visit my side of the family, so the suitcase situation helps naturally limit things).
DS (11). All he wants is an Oculus.
DS (14). Is an electric razor an OK xmas present or is that kid equivalent of getting an unasked for vacuum?
