Christmas 18m+

I know this will be posted a million times, but I need help. 

We have way too many Christmas' (in my opinion) so G always gets a ton of stuff.

Her list includes: musical instruments, doll stuff(my mom is getting her a nice baby doll), dress up clothes, books, and cds.

I also included sippies, dinner items, diapers, a pair of jeans and possibly a potty chair. (I would love to ask for $$ to put in her college savings account, but would that be rude/)

Anything else your kids love at this age? Or essentials that I could include. She already has quite a few toys.  I'd like to find toys she'll play with for quite awhile!

  • Building blocks like Megabloks or Duplos

    Do you have any of the LeapFrog "Fridge" toys - Fridge Farm, Fridge Phonics, etc?

  • Mr. Potato Head? Nicholas has the Silly Suitcase one that has tons of parts.
  • What about gift cards to play places, the Science Center or even memberships if any family members like to give big gifts.

  • I don't think asking for money is rude. My grandma asks me what Ella needs, and since she doesn't get around like she used to, I told her money for her savings account would be perfect, and she's from a time when saving money was burned into your brain. So she feels good about giving money. But that's just us. And I think if you say "we'd really like to build up her college account" or something like that. I think you'd be ok.

     

  • Savings Bonds would be a good option if someone didn't want to give cash.
