Xmas gift lists?!?!
I know it's a little early to be talking about Christmas....but wonderig if anyone has ideas for the kiddos yet?! And their husbands! I really don't know what to get my boys this year.
Re: Xmas gift lists?!?!
Forget about them, what's on your lists!!
I want...Oh Lola perfume from Marc Jacobs, a cross body bag, Gap pajama pants (not flannel, just the loungey kind), gift cards...
Unfortunately N has insanely high taste and wants an external harddrive for the computer, a new computer monitor, new camera lenses, a new golf driver, new irons. He'll be lucky if he gets 2 of these items ha!
I actually have my DH make a wish list for me and he saves it on Amazon. Now you can even save things on your Amazon wish list at other sites, not just Amazon. Then I pick what i want to get him and distribute it to the rest of the family. We've been doing this for the past 3 years and its awesome!!!! Saves so much time.
As for me: i put together a list but there is nothing on there i'm really dying for- a new phone, a few different gift cards (Macy's, Barnes and Noble, Victoria Secrets) a pair of emerald studs in white cold and an infinity ring. I kinda blah this year...
Ive been getting alot of Christmas shopping done on my end though
Thanks ladies!
Rblucy I'd be happy with a say at the spa and a mani/pedi! And some new clothes. I'm simple
Chrisnjay that's a good idea, I may have hubby make a list!
We just decided last night that we will spend $200 for each other. So I wanna come up with something good!
Its so hard for Aiden, he doesn't really need more toys ya know and the kid has enough clothes to last him till he's 5 lol
For my birthday this year my DH gave me a $200 gift certificate to Cest La Vie spa in Middletown- i was able to get an hour and half hot stone massage and a fancy pedicure. It was amazing!!!
For DS: I've been keeping track of his favorite toys when we are other places or browsing the toy store. So I got him a kidkraft Everyday Heros playlet (its basically a doll house for boys). I picked it up on Zulily a couple weeks ago. Im debating a kitchen, definetly a cash register, remote control car, imaginext castle, the pull string Woody and Jessie and the Cars AppMates.
For DH, he wants some crazy boots for work and a Gerber knife.
For me: I want a new purse (havent decided which one yet), a flash and Lens for my camera, Naked 2 palette, Black Frye boots and the ok to re-do the downstairs bathroom.

Baby Ronnie - He's going to be 3 and into cars and trucks and dinosaurs
The nieces - not sure. but I want peanut to have a HUGE doll house.
Joe - pjs
me - pjs.
we are going on a cruise next week so that is our gift to each other
if i get bonus then i will get him an ipad. or etch a sketch.
we are def adopting family affected by hurricane sandy.
I found Keira an awesome deal on a dollhouse on craigslist, it was barely used and I got basically every additional piece of furniture that you have to buy extra along with it! She plays with one all the time at my moms and loves it, so she will flip. I'm excited.
I was thinking if picking up a cozy coupe or something similar if I find a good deal. Other than that a few small toys, some DVDs and clothes. She will get a lot of toys from other people and her bday is four days later so she'll get even more then.
We found a good deal on a nook and bought that for her bday. It's an alternative to a leap pad, we will load it with kid friendly apps and books.
DH, not sure. I know he wants some clothes, but beyond that I haven't thought much about it.
On my list, I'd like new boots, some scarves or other accessories, and some baking dishes-sizes that I am missing.
its not too early. im almost done with the kids in my family. i pretty much refuse to go into toy stores after thanskgiving. too crazy and nothing left. for sue, i take her shopping with me- see what she likes and get it another time. she got a bunch of jake and the neverland pirate toys, these sketchers (twinkle toes) shoes she wanted, a kiddie digital camera. im telling other people minnie mouse toys and scooby doo toys. she'll get some other random small stuff and santa is giving her a snow globe that plays music (her pick), if i can find one. for joey- i got him some of those preschool prep videos- i know he is young but susie has one and it is like baby crack to him. ill prob grab a few small toys for him but nothing much. i'm just telling people boy toys as we have a ton of toys just not much boy specific. cars, trucks, dinosaurs, that sort of thing.
dh- who knows. he really is not into gifting. like ever. the last few years he gets all boring stuff. undershirts, socks. lol. he usually gets some sorta sporting equiptment, but who knows.
and i actually have a bunch of stuff that i want this year. first time in a long time i had a list. i guess being a SAHM has really been sinking in lately and i havent been shopping!

DH- A Gun. he just bought a hand gun and already wants another, he just got his carrying license for NYS. He is actually doing his own BF shopping at Cabela's n Hartford
J- DC sneakers DH picked out and 2 board games from us.
C-jeans and LP set I got months ago and ernie and cookie monster doll
(My mom bought them FP Serve Table, and dolls and chair and Thomas sets and more trains) They need nothing and that stuff will probably stay at their house.
Me- I want some clothes, and a camera.. heart set on DSLR but even a new PS will be nice since I broke 2 this past year. (DH paid for my cruise in 3 weeks, so that kinda counts;)
Eli loves Mater & Mcqueen from the cars so i got him the Mater power wheels,a mater bubble maker thing for the lawn,a Mcqueen talking chair and a cars track set,i also got him the fisher price learning table,the learning kitchen,the scoop and whirl vaccum thing,a play skool elephant thing & the litte tykes basketball basketball hoop.
Hubby took up running a few months ago so i am going to get him a underamour running outfit and a gift card for some running sneakers.
my list is all baby toys for E,i never know what i want for Christmas.
this actually looks pretty cool. Just showed DH, we may get for A! Thanks
