Gift you are most excited to give?

What gift this year are you most excited to give? 

I think I am probably most excited to give my sister a necklace with a saying she always tells EJ on it.  And the millennium falcon bottle opener for K. :o)

Re: Gift you are most excited to give?

  • For DD - her kitchen. I think she'll love it:)

    For DH - an eyepiece for his telescope that he's been drooling over. It probably means he'll be up til all hours over the break - but I know he'll get a ton of enjoyment out of it:)

  • Girl you and I might be the only ones keeping this board going today! Ha.

    I can't not wait to see DD face when she opens the Dora Gymnastics doll she has been asking for since October.

    I am also pretty excited to give my mom her Keuirg. She has no clue. She only ever wants a homemade calendar from DD. I think she is going to be shocked. Just a mini one but it is red. :)

    DD also went to the dollar store with DH and bought little gift for each person in the family. She is so proud of herself. So I can't wait to see her give those to everyone.

  • Oh good... Gwen is here too. :)
  • I am most excited to give Mason the gifts from his list - he has been very specific with his list, so I can't wait to see him get what he's asked for from Santa.  (Captain America Shield, Tic Toc Crock that lights up, and a scooter)

    For Garrett, I am most excited for him to get his cozy coupe, because anytime we are at someone's house who has one, he loves it. 

    For Rich, I am most excited to give him his nook, mostly so he will stop using mine.  =)

  • I can't wait to see Will's face when he sees the "BIIIG orange garbage truck" that he's been requesting from Santa for 2+ months.

  • Gwen--I did the dollar tree thing with Jake, too!  He loved it, he has been bursting to give everyone their gifts :) 

    I'm excited for the kids to see their new kitchen from Santa, mainly because it wasn't on Jake's list or anything, so I think they'll be super excited.

  • The kitchens will be a big hit - Mason got one 2 Christmases ago and it is still a favorite toy for both boys!
  • Pretty much everything! I always love sharing the pictures of our kids with the family. And the kids made presents for daddy and the grandparents at Color Me Mine.

    I am excited to see Todd's reaction to his big boy bed and Heather 's reaction to the big Lego set ( both surprises)...but I expect the initial joy of getting the scooters they asked for will be great, too.

    Is it Christmas yet?!?!

  • I'm most excited to give the 6 nieces all the hair bows I made them. They were a total PITA, but they came out super cute and I know the girls will love them!

     I'm also excited to surprise O with his 3DS... He has no idea he is getting it!  

    The DH story is kinda funny. He told me after I was done shopping for him he wanted all weather floor mats for his man-van. I told him I was done shopping. The good news for him is that this is his gift from Owen this year! 

  • I can't wait for Brinley to see her barbie doll house and the sleeping beauty toddler doll--that is from us so we'll let her open it on Christmas Eve. 

    Nolan will be happy with the bows--but I'm pretty excited to play with this:http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Brain-Toys-Tobbles-Balancing/dp/B004HFLSI2

    I agree with this.  Both kids love it...and when my nieces come they like to play with it too, even though they're 9 and 12!

    Yeah, I think Jake will have a renewed interest in it since it's new and Liam will be playing with it :)  We had one when Jake was little that was a hand-me-down from Brian's little sister (so it was probably from the late 80s); it was fine, but it was super bulky (2 different pieces, it took up a ton of space)  Now that we are cramming even more toys into the playroom, I wanted something more compact...I got a great deal on craigslist, so that's what Santa is bringing them :)

  • Really dd's and dh's. I'm always excited for all of dd's gifts. She really wants the lamb from doc mcstuffins so I know she will be so excited for that. For dh I made up a date night basket and I think it will be a lot of fun.

  • We got my parents a framed picture of the boys that they already got (so they could have it up for the family at Christmas Eve) and they both cried. :) We also go them a Keurig, so I'm excited about that one too.
