How many gifts are each of your children getting this year?

I am close to being done. My oldest only needs 1 more gift, we're giving him a used PS 2, so I need to get him a game for that, and then he will be done. He'll have a total of 11 gifts to open, he'll have a book, 4 clothing items and 6 toys including his ps2 and game.

The twins and toddler also are all set on their clothing items and they each have a book. I need to pick up a couple more toys for each of the twins to make it even with their older brother.

My toddler currently has 7 gifts, only 2 of which are toys, he also has a set of dishes with the Disney Cars on them, the book and the clothing. I am thinking this may be good enough for him, because he has a lot of toys, and he's only 2 and a half, he probably doesn't need anything more... what do you think?

I haven't even started on the baby or my husband yet. The baby doesn't really matter, he's not even a year, I'll probably just pick him up a couple toys because he doesn't need any clothes, although I did get him some socks which he really needs.

How is your shopping coming? What sort of things have you gotten your kids thus far? How many gifts do they have to open total, or how many do you plan on them having?

Honestly, my fiance and I are only starting. We were out today to look for something for his sister. Unfortunately, we didn't find what we were looking for. We have some ideas, but they just that, ideas. But right now, I'm focusing on my final exams and final assignments, as those are more important, right now. Then when I'm done, then I'll focus on my shopping.

I have almost finished but not quite, I am not sure how many gifts mine have to open as I do not go by that but my boys were to get two main gifts because what they wanted was quite expensive and then the rest would be small stocking fillers. I got them one of their main gifts but then the second one they wanted was a kids digital camera, the one I looked at was a fisher price one but the reviews for it were really poor and I said to my hubby that there was no way we were spending that much money on them for them to be rubbish. Then I looked at a v tech one which was much better thought of but it was really expensive so I am not going to get them so I need to find them something else instead and I will get them a cheap digital camera in the sales after christmas. This year they have not got as much as last year but what they do have is plenty and they are getting what they asked for, sort of.

I barely have anything done really.

I got my son the PS2 game that he wanted and a Spongebob jump rope but that is it on his gifts. I am going to order a few Ben 10 shirts off Walmart.com for him. They don't have them at the local stores and shipping is 97 cents on each item.

My daughter has a baby doll and bottle and a Dora jump rope that I got at the dollar store. I have no clue what to get for her, so I have not gotten anything really yet.

I will probably get a few things next week. I don't like waiting to the last minute.


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7752)   ranked 74 out of 3,704 in had children  4 years ago

I don't either. I'm excited that we are almost done. I need 1 more thing for the oldest, a couple more things for the twins, 1 more for the toddler, and I haven't started on the baby or my hubby yet, but I still got plenty of time for that.

I am on walmart.com right now adding a few things to my shopping cart.

No, i haven't bought anything yet. I simply don't have that money to purchase something worth as a gift. but my relatives will, maybe after Christmas. i will just take a break for these type of work. but back then, i was so sure that i had more gifts than any of others can give.

In my head I'm done with my stepson, I just need to get the money together and buy the stuff. My 2 year old, I have no idea what to get her except toy make-up and jewelry. She's been asking for both for a month now. I don't really want to get them for her but I know it's something she'll like. For the baby, no clue what to get. For my fiance, he said not to get him anything. Everyone else is done. I make recipes in jars for them. I'm also making cards and printing a family photo om our pc for everyone. I might make t-shirts for the females in the family with iron-ons that I will make at home of a picture that my 2 year old drew.


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7752)   ranked 74 out of 3,704 in had children  4 years ago

I bought my daughter some play make up last year. I didn't think it would be real bad because it was a toy meant for girls her age. Well it was a disaster, it ended up everywhere! It even came with glitter which made a disgusting mess. I probably still have glitter in some corners of the house.
She won't be getting make up again for quite a few years, although I think I might get her some cute chapsticks for her stocking. She seems to like those and keeps taking mine. I found some in her bag the other day, I think she got it from a friend, that's scary!


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 3,197 out of 3,704 in had children  4 years ago

OH NO, she isn't getting real makeup just the fake plastic stuff. I might get her her own nail polish but only for us to put on her, so she'll stop begging for mine.

Yes all the Christmas gifts that I'll be giving are bought, wrapped, and mailed. I will not only, Not be giving any, but I move 2000 miles away from home each season to get away from the Christmas fiasco. I Hate Christmas. The Brazen Commercialism, the Gaudy Decorations and the Ever Present, Raucous Music that never stops for weeks on end. Oh God! Spare me from your Followers!
