What are your kids getting for christmas????

[Veritas]

Pretty self explanatory... now that the chrissie shopping season is in full force, and the big day is drawing nearer everyday.... what are you getting your kiddies for xmas???

I just laybyed the first and most of Miss P's christmas pressie.... she will be almost 17mths old...

I have laybyed a kitchen set, and a play toaster... also a little people CUV, and a fisher price xylophone/piano thing....

I think I'll also be getting her a play vacuum, maybe a doll stroller if I don't get it before hand.... along with a couple of books, a DVD and a christmas outfit.....

The keepsake pressie for this year will be a little pewter jewellery box as she got a couple of bracelets for her 1st bday.... but i'm not sure of the best place to buy it just yet!!

So what are your little cherubs getting this year???

[KapowSchazam]

I'm going to watch this one Karrie!!! I have NO IDEA what to get. Space is a major issue for me too...

[perrywinkle]

I've got DS a trampoline. One of those ones with a little net around it.

he's also getting a
Tonka Garabge Truck
Tonka Helicopter
and some books.

He's got other stuff that I put on layby a while ago for his B'day being in January so close to Xmas.

[Roxy]

They are getting their first bikes! They have been begging for bikes now for months, and keep saying that is what they want for Christmas.

I think that my folks and my brothers are also going to get together and buy them a PS2 - the kids are obsessed with Spyro the Dragon at the moment and our PS1 has nearly given up...

Apart from that, probably just some stocking stuffer type things - hair ties, lip balm etc for DD and cars, BTB stuff etc for DS.

[Rainbowbrite]

MJs big one is a trampoline just a little one with a net around it.

Plus heaps of DVD's, a learning laptop, Itsy Bitsy Spiderman, books......there's some other stuff but I can't remember what it is :o

Plus I want to get her some kids tools & maybe gardening stuff. She is obsessed with fixing things and playing in gardens.

Bub is getting a few fisher price things & a playgym, rocking horse thing (he'll only be around 1-2months)

[SassyMummy]

Chanel's mainly going to be getting books and clothes... that's pretty much all she uses.

I'm planning on getting a fair number of the hardcover Beatrix Potter books, because they're so cute. DD won't be allowed to hold them though...she'll just damage them!

Some Crayons/Paints/Pencils/etc type of stuff. She's forever ruining/losing these things, so they always need a constant top-up.

Clothes.

A little bra and crop-top seat, because we're going to try to TT near Christmas, and I'm hoping it might get her more excited.

A dora trainset.

A dora backpack.

God, I can't even remember what else i have on layby... but there are other things...lol.

[SweetDreams]

Too blinkin' much!

We've bought her:
Apple clock (tells time)
Alphabet Bath Letters
Drum Set
Sit 'n Spin
Walk-a-long (thing bubs pushes)

MIL tells me she's laybyed her:
Horse a gogo(???? some sort of rocking horse thing!)
Slide thingy (blow up)
Thomas the Tank Engine car thingy (??)
My first bowling set
Swimming pool with cover
Clothes
a lot of little things

My MIL is a bit vague! lol

I'm wondering where the heck this is all going since the house is already overflowing with stuff! :/

[Freya]

HEAPS of clothes

Oh and yes this is all for a will be 7 month old :o :eek:

His first chrissy and I went over the top!!!:rolleyes:

[Canuck]

I'm really looking forward to this Christmas! My son was 12 days old last Xmas so we didn't do much. I started buying his birthday and xmas gifts when the July toy sales came on.

We bought him a TJ Beary tales with the books. He can't read them yet obviously but you put the cartridge in and TJ can read to him. We also bought him a Fisher Price Learning Home (I think that's what it is). Basically it's a door with all sorts of things to play with like a light, mailbox, etc. We stocked up on heaps of Disney books as well. We are planning to buy him one of the plastic outdoor playcentres, just waiting for a cool one to come on sale. We'll probably get him some clothes as well. There's also a huge parcel en route from my folks in Canada for him so I can't wait to see all what they sent. My brother in law is going to buy him a Tonka truck. I'm sure Dad will play with that more then my son! lol.

It was easy this year to buy for my son, but will be impossible to buy for my hubby lol. He wants a GPS but I have to surprise him with it or else it's no fun. Next year we're going to buy our son one of those motorised toy cars for him to ride in. I always wanted one of those but they used to cost $500 or so. youch.

[OJandMe]

The boys are getting a 'Cars' playhouse and garage cubby thingy.
and a wooden train set

And a stocking with some singlets and undies and hot wheels cars in them.

Haven't even thought about Gabby yet... probably just something small.

[JeSka]

we've layby'd our dd a fold out sofa, dancin bandstand thingy, few books ,some blocks and one of those my first toy box thingy's from big w.. (box with a mixed selection of toys inside)
any1 with suggestions 4 a 8 month old?

[TinyStar]

Gawd you are all organised :eek:

The only thing I have decided on is a really nice pair of shoes for DD, she is obsessed and adores going to the nice shoe shops and trying on all the pretty sandals.

I sometimes wonder if she really is my daughter, :rolleyes:

[nugglyboysmum]

So far i have bought a Sesame Street Giggle and Go Garage for Archie. i am not bothered if he only gets that, he wont know any different, however i do keep my eyes out for things in the catalogues every week, just haven't seen anything ltely that i think he'll really enjoy.

His fav playthings atm are things from the kitchen cupboards, a doll pram and books....he's not that into toys atm.

[neostudded]

For Julius's Xmas he is getting,

Set of 50 water themed bath toys in dark blue tub- 50 dollars

Sea creature themed wall stickers for the bathroom. -7 dollars

Two bath toys that stick on the wall they were 8 dollars each on sale.

An EGRO :smiliedance: (he will be about 4/5 months!) yay :D

My mum has a fisher price musical train & a cute blue stocking she has yet to fill.

MIL asked me what to get for Julius, iam thinking of getting her to put in some $ towards the ergo for him.

[Seekrit]

Cobey's getting one of those little plastic play centre things... like with a little slide :)
That's his main gift, he'll get a few little knick-knacks.

[Zada]

Zara is getting a doll playset,books, a scooter, a helmet package with knee pads,
Damien is getting a flip out couch, a ride on bike thingy,
and they're getting an 8 foot trampoline with the net aswell

[LovingMumOf3]

So much for my plan of being organised this year and buying all the pressies early...Ha...I wish. Oh well. We are planning on going bicycle shopping this weekend for the kidlets first bikes. I've told DD that we are going to look at which ones we would like Santa to bring. Really don't know what else to buy them yet.Guess I'll keep checking the posts from you all to get a few ideas:idea: :yes: . Happy Chrissy shopping!!:)

[tyler's mum]

Tyler is getting way to much no wonder i never had any money:yes:

[Gumby]

I am so excited this year. I have ordered threw castle hampers all I need to re decorate the girls rooms with so much nice stuff I cant wait :smiliedance:
Also heaps of art and craft stuff and they are getting a new swimming pool.

I am not too sure of ds this year.. Only a few weeks to decide :xmas:

[honeydew]

WOW, most kids are getting lucky this christmas!!!

I had planned on only getting DS some books and some nice clothes but have thought of a few other things I want to get him. I am nowhere near as organised as the rest of you but this is what I am going to try to get him-

-toy vacuum (he LOVES cleaning!)
-some 'first word' type books as he is having trouble starting to talk
-bike- one of those ones where it has the handle for the parents to hold and steer and then as they get older they pedal themselves. And it has a shade thing over the top, know what I mean?
-would love to get him a set of those shaky things....um, I think they are called moraccas or something?

Also I was going to decorate his big boy room for him which would include buying the furniture, accessories and painting the room etc but I am rapidly running out of money and christmas isn't that far away!!

[EmsMum72]

DD is getting a swing set (which has 2 swings, a sea saw thingy & a slide) and an adjustable basketball ring for Christmas :xmastree: , and lots of other little things (dora leggo house, happy feet dvd, books, pencils etc). 3 weeks after christmas is her birthday and she's getting a new dora bicycle, a talking kitchen, new clothes and lots of other stuff - spoilt rotten :yes:

[Coffee]

I haven't got an idea for my, by X Mas 13 mths old but for my 3 yo I'm basically done.

He gets:

A Toolbench with tools and a spare drill
A Cricket Set
A Bike
and the V Smile console with 2 Games (we've bought that ages ago but he wasn't ready for it)

I'd love to get them combined a present but it's not so easy. Cause the lil one is too small for most of it.

We were thinking about a trampoline or a swing set. But for the swings and slides, they just could go to the parks..

And the trampoline would be great but dangerous. They could get so easily hurt by it.

We were considering on of the Springfree Trampolines (http://www.springfreetrampoline.com.au/) but they're just sooo expensive..

So I don't really know what to get them as a combined present.

[Bewitched]

Wow, how many kids on here are getting trampolines this year?! :eek: Lucky kidlets they are!! I am sort of all over th eplace with pressies at the mo', but so far we have:

DD, 13 years: two new dresses, cd's and a hotdog maker.
My two little DS's are getting; a Matchbox car garage with racing ramps, action figures, bath toys, outdoor frisbees and balls, and they are all getting a little chocolate christmas hamper from Mummy because i am so mean at Easter and only give them limited eggs :o :D

Can't wait for XMAS :xmastree: :yes:

[mumzdaword]

[Terrible2+1cutie]
