Let's talk DC Christmas Gifts..

It's confession time...

My DC does not have a lot of toys. I've never really been shopping to buy him toys. (I'm too busy buying clothes for him!)  Seriously, his favorite "toy" is a water bottle and a red dixie cup.  I know as soon as I step into Toys R Us, my head is going to start spinning with all the possibilities of Christmas gifts for him.  I don't want to go overboard!  So, I need a game plan!  What toys did your DC enjoy?  DS will be almost 1 at Christmas.  Any tips would be much appreciated.  Thanks ladies!

I am done shopping for DS for Christmas already. I tried not to get too much b/c he is a baby and won't know it is even Christmas. I got him the leapfrog table, the playskool ball popper and then just a few small toys since we'll be traveling and I will need to pull out some new tricks to distract him on the plane. Of course I got him a couple new outfits too but that makes no difference to him. It is hard not to spoil him, but I know my family will get him stuff too so I really tried to keep it simple!

I got more then I planned... and am afraid I will get even more!  I just can't help it!

Allie is getting the Laugh & Learn House, The Playskool Ball Popper, Leapfrog Drum, Leapfrog My Pal Violet, and a stacking toy.  That's it so far.  I think I may get her some Christmas books, we don't have any.  And maybe a stuffed Rudolfand snowman or something.

Camryn got a lot of the FP Laugh and Learn stuff last year and she likes most of it and still plays with a lot of it.  She really liked the shopping cart.

Well, even though Savannah does have toys - her favorite things are still the remote and cell phone. :) She likes her Leap Frog table, too - that might be an idea? I got Savannah a walk-along stroller and a baby doll, and a book.

This is the first time I've gone all out on Liam, since he is old enough that I know SO many things he will love.  He is getting a play kitchen, mega bloks and a toddler backpack from us.  Hoping for a shopping cart/play food from relatives.  ILs are getting him a table and chairs that I know he will love.

Gift ideas for an almost one year old - Leap Frog table if he doesn't have it yet, a push/ride toy if he doesn't have that yet, shopping cart, mega bloks, any kind of cars and trucks he can push around on the floor - about that age Liam really got into pushing around his little vehicles, big and small, he loves them and never gets tired of playing with them and making truck noises (he's such a boy already).

This is DS!  I have a feeling he is going to be as bad as his dad for the latest and greatest in electronics!  DS won't play with our old remote or our old cell phones (that even light up)  All he wants is ours!  Gotta love a drool covered phone!

It's b/c he knows the fake ones don't really work. :)
