I'll get this thread going. Sarah will be 7 in January so we have the fun of birthdays 3 weeks after xmas. Can you say "too much stuff"?

Anyway, xmas is easy this year. We're getting a Wii for the family and that's it other than a few things in the stockings. They'll still get gifts from the everybody else which will add up quick. I know for xmas from everyone else she's getting wii games, a jewelry box, and glittery accessories from Justice. On her list is also a soccer goal and anything for 18" dolls. She likes and has American Girls, but she is quite open to whatever fits. Sarah also would like gift cards and books. She reads everything.

For her bday, I have some AG doll stuff that I found on clearance for her. I'm not sure what else. I'll do the soccer goal if my mom doesn't decide to get that.

One gift bought so far for Meghan. I got her a Twister game. I think all the kids will have fun with that.

 

Hannah has asked for a pillow pet, a bed for her American Girl dolls, and a desk for her bedroom.

I am starting to plant the seed for a tetherball. I think they would have fun with that, and one year, when I taught kinder, that was the gift of the year.

 

Disney has new dolls that are the same size as American girls. Jessy wants aurora for Christmas. Jazz is really into zoobles. I'm working on cleaning their room so there will be space! They are getting belle costumes (set of 2 at Disney store) and tickets for disneys beauty and the beast(feb play).

We are getting a bigger fish tank as a group gift and disney sing it for nana's house.

 

Some ideas for my girls are guitars, Barbie stuff, kint animal hats, a "real" vanity, karaoke player, a Wii, leg warmers, Dr. Suess All About Me book, American Girl Doll craft kits and crafts by Alex.

I really want to get them the vanity, but I was looking to find one for about $100 each and I havn't been able to find them. I don't want to get the plastic type. Some are less expensive, but then they don't come with the stool (and the stools alone are expensive! )

 

My girls just turned 8 on Wed. So they are having their party with friends on Sat and family on sun so some things they are getting for their birthday and some Christmas. I know they are getting some American Girl clothes (they also like the our generation clothes from target for their dolls), a storage trunk to hold them (from the AC Moore store), my mom is also getting them each a Littlest pet shop game for the ds. They are hoping for a fish tank or saving up to get one (my brother maybe getting them that for their birthday). Some other things they are getting are roller skates and then I also got them roller skates for their dolls. We will be getting them some board games too but not sure which we were thinking about getting them Jenga or the new sorry one that you can build and change the board every time you play. Not sure yet though on games any suggestions?

 

DD rarely plays with toys. All she does is draw every day! So, we are getting her some good art supplies and some "How to Draw" books. There are a lot out there that are right at her age level and she will love. The only other thing I think we will get her is paper, paper, paper! She goes through it like crazy! She used an entire pack of paper in about 3 weeks!

 

Disney has barbie size princesses 2 for $20. Jessy is getting aurora and 2 sets of clothes(clothes sets are a choice in the 2 for $20). Jazz is getting rapunzel which is $30 with 2 changes of clothes but that's what she wanted.

 

The girls got pillow pets for their bdays last month otherwise I'd get that...my parents are getting them a lego set and clothes...I'll have to come back here to browse for more ideas!!

 

My twin girls - age 6 - are getting new sleeping bags and their first American girl dolls. These will be from Santa. I will also get them one AG outfit each for their doll. Older dd has a 'store' of AG clothes. I just need to convince her to share.

My mom is getting them weaving looms (the ones that make potholders) and pajamas.

Bath and Body lotion, socks, life savers, all for the stocking!
