Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive December 2004: What are your kids asking for for Christmas?
My dd wants Polly Pockets, a pink dress to play dress up in, and a brown barbie horse with white hair (a bit specific, huh?) She also wants Disney PRincess stuff for her room.
My dk's both want bean bag chairs, Mooshi pillows, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkeban dvd, Shrek 2 dvd. My dd wants some music cds, Lincoln Logs, and a sewing kit. My ds wants puzzles, tinker toys, and games.
well this year i have taken a different route with my daughter who is 9. I have decided to give her a new theme for her room..we are going with groovy chick stuff. Not sure if they have that back home in the states but its really cute. With it she has a motion sensor and doorbell to keep her brother out...lol!! then we have the wall decor and bed spread. She hadnt really asked for much other than drawing supplies. So we got her that too. My son is getting the madna doodle pro and the super quiz (similar to leap frog) and hot wheels. For the rest of the family we are doing a real christmas spirit thing and making all the gifts!
My kids are only allowed to ask for 3 things. This is what they asked santa for
We are probably in our last year of "ignorance", since they still don't really "get" Christmas. We bought them the Step 2 Sand and Water Activity Table, some dress up items, some cars for DS, a tea set for DD, and a couple of small stocking stuffer toys. We told al the relatives to get them DVDs, coloring supplies, and since my mom usually sends them a "big" item, I asked her to get them art easels, or a table for their room to dram at.
My dd is at that "everything I see I want" stage (she's 9), but we are cutting down this year, so I'm being pretty particular. She's getting a clock radio and a butterfly chair, some books and a couple of CDs. She wants one of those "no-pry diaries," but I don't think they're worth the money. Older dd (14) wants beads for her doorway, a new personal CD player, some CDs, books, and "new and exciting earrings." LOL Nothing big ticket this year--thank goodness!!
Rylee is getting a swingset from my family and DH's family. I can't wait!!!!! Chris wanted to wait until next Christmas, but I talked my way into him getting her one this year. We are going to fence in our backyard next week. I am so excited!!!
Brendan just wants "spiderman toys"... I haven't found anything that just wows me honestly. All I've seen are for older kids. Anyone know of any?
DS: Rescue Hero Command Center, Imaginex Pirate Ship and a few other small items.
DS (8) sat down and wrote this the other night, but only because I strongly encouraged him to do so. Everyone was asking for ideas but I had none. LOL!
DD (7): CD player, several CD's, Care Bears, Love Me Chou Chou, a puppy,more and more "art stuff" and several hyped-up toys that won't be making an appearance. This one has the gimmees this year.
I'm thinking about getting DD (8) Hillary Duff tickets. I just found out she is coming to the nearest big center (6 hours away) on January 7th. What do you think? It would be a big surprise for her.
DD (6): Dinosaur cards that have some gimmick by which you can see their skeleton, Ant Farm, hot wheels set, microscope, Polly Pocket stuff.
Sarah wants mostly cds. Emily wants Breyer horses and art stuff.
DD is getting a tricycle, table and chair set, lots of baby einstein and leapfrog stuff and crafty type stuff. DH and I are being "Ignorant" (thanks for the word Crys
Christy, there are spiderman toys meant for toddlers that my son loved when he was a little younger. Now they even have a big playset! They are bigger and chunkier, like a Rescue Hero, so they balance better and they make the Hulk, Captain America and SpiderGirl. They are great and I haven't been impressed with many of the regular Spiderman toys.
DS (10) wants a stereo and a real Swiss army knife with lots of gadgets
Christy, I bought the Spiderman and friends Playset. That Tink is talking about. It says it is for toddlers but my ds 6 wanted it. I don't think it looks babyish. The people are just chunkier and really hard to find. They are abundant in spidermans but not the others. I had to go to the stores everyday for awhile to get them and I am still short another one. My dk's are getting this as a combined gift becausen they both wanted it. They will get games, books and clothes for the rest of there items.
oldest ds (age 6)
Debbie we got both the castle and pirate ship last year for my ds (1st grade this year), I hate those toys. I really wish I had gotton the playmobile ones instead, these stupid things fall apart very easily and aren't as friendly to play with the people. If he is into building, they are great, but my boy likes to build and then play with them.
DS #1-Madden '05 for playstation
I bought a new dryer for our DS and DIL and a new nail gun for our DS the builder. Big KIds Big Gifts. We got Felicity The American Girl Doll for Nichole
Thanks Cori and Beth, I'll have to check it out.
DD-8 She's getting the Quantom Pad and books, and some board games like Life, Upwords, and Boggle. An American Girl book set, and the Little Women DVD.
Kate, Santa only gives one or two gifts per child in our house. Mom & Dad get the kids one or two gifts each. We've toned things down quite a bit because it really does get overwhelming when you count all the gifts they get from relatives as well. This year DH and I decided to get one big combined "family gift" - A multiple game table (pool, ping pong, air hockey, etc.). Sure made shopping a lot easier!
Ds age 7 wants:
Dd's big wants this year include and american girl doll and a playstation2... some other smaller things, but those are the big deal to her!
Well they gave me the list, cell phone's x box, chicken soup teenage soul, makeup, dvd's, and cd's.
I just found this website. You can't beat the prices! abcpublishing.com
Santa brings 3 gifts each at our house, symbolic of the 3 gifts presented to baby Jesus by the wisemen. DH and I give one gift, plus they get a new ornament and pj's that they open every Christmas Eve. How could I forget our big family gift? Here she is:

LOL we do eaxactly opposite of pam, santa brings one gift to each child and fills the stocking. We give three gifts to represent the gifts from the wiseman. My kids get so much stuff anyway that I try not to overgive. Also I wanted to take the focus off santa, yes we celebrate the spirit of giving and santa represents that, but I didn't want it to be a huge out of proportion thing. My kids each only ask santa for one thing, makes that job pretty easy.
Oh my gosh. He wanted a volcano flowing lava shooting hot wheels. Everyone says it is a big horrible mess. Can't imagine....
This is the review of it. Doesn't it sound horrible?
Feona, my ds also wanted the Volcano flowing lava shooting hot wheels track. I told him no way!!! I also ended up getting the Cyborg hot wheels track.
MY ds wanted this too! What is it with these boys? You'd think they liked making a mess or something! We just ended up getting a basic track that he can set up anywhere and make his own loop-de-loops and ramps.
What my kids are asking for and what they're getting are two very different things! Robin has a big screen plasma tv on his list. HUH??? Yeah, right. lol They're both asking for and getting the new Nintendo DS (newest Gameboy) and a few games they want. We've still got to get stocking stuffers and some little stuff. We'll do that this weekend.
DS's are all getting Nintendo DSs as well - we bought one for each of them, and three extra to sell on Ebay to try to take *some* of the sting out of paying for the other three, lol! DD is getting clothes,make-up, a new MP3/CD player, a massaging foot bath thing (as a gymnast, her feet get sore and ROUGH - she's been wanting one of these for a while
My oldest DD (5) has the "I wants" this year so I had her narrow her list down to four items-she chose:
Welll, like Cat, what they ask for and what they get are 2 different things! lol The older they get the more big ticket items they come up with.
Well, the swingset that we found for Rylee is way too expensive so now, she is getting Baby Einstein stuff and The Little People stuff from us. Next year, maybe she'll get her swing set.
This year is *big-ticket-item* year for us...we got an XBOX for them to share, then 14-year-old dd is getting an iPod mini, and 11-year-old ds is getting an electric scooter. The rest is little stuff...CD's, books, etc.
