What to get baby for Christmas when he has tons of hand me downs?

[ohiomom1121]

My family has asked what to get DS2 for Christmas and I have no idea! He has 2 older sibs with tons of toys, and tons of clothes from DS and my nephew. All I can think of is a Laugh and Learn House and a walker wagon. Any ideas?

[brittone2]

My baby #3 is getting exactly what you mentioned LOL. FP learning home from CL, and I'm regifting our Haba walker wagon to him. Probably also regifting our old Haba Ball Track Rock N Roll set (the one w/ a big ball not the marble sized one obviously).

I asked my parents for new soft soled shoes for him for CHristmas as our others are pretty beat up.

I'll get him a first Christmas ornament.

My parents are bugging me for another toy type of idea and I can't come up with anything. Maybe some sort of learning table but I'm not sure I want to go that route. We don't have a LF learning table or similar. Costco is selling a FP play table for about 20 bucks.

My kids had a learning table (I think Leap Frog?) and they loved it so I would definitely get that! I'm also getting a Haba monkey to match the older two's but I'm seriously stuck after that!!! Hoping someone has some great ideas to add...

One other random idea, a piggy bank? MIL just gave us one for DS2.

Soft soled shoes, for a bigger size even. I pulled out DD1's to reuse with DD2, and boy, are they beat up! Onesies and things are pretty spit-up on. How about a BPA free teether - a wooden Haba ring perhaps? (Not sure how old your baby will be at Xmas.)

I'm buying DD2 safe food utensils and bowls and bibs since her sister's are destroyed at this point! I love the idea of a wooden walker wagon - first birthday gift, perhaps...

How old is DS2? My DS will will be 11 mos at Christmas and his bday is in January so we are looking to get things that will last through to his 2nd bday.

Here are some suggestions we gave the grandparents:

B Parum Pum Drum (drum with instruments)
Curved Ramp Racer
B Whacky Ball (ball and hammer, in lieu of noisy ball popper)
Duplos or Megablocks
Leap Frog Cook and Play Potsy
Melissa and Doug Stacking/Nesting Blocks
A chair like the Anywhere Chair by PBK or a floor pillow
Play Table

He will be4.5 months old. New teethers and feeding supplies are a good idea. He's actually getting a personalized bank for his baptism this weekend. New Robeez are a good idea too...DS's are a lot more worn than I remember. I figured he's young for the walker wagon now, but he could be using it at 8-9 months if he's an early walker. I want to get him an anywhere chair for his first birthday.

Definitely get him Sophie the giraffe - that's the perfect age!

Twilight Turtle?

I got cute towels and washclothes for #3. The ones we had were dingy from years of use.

I'm getting new play food since our hand-me-down stuff is a little worn. And some things that I missed for the older one, like a play shopping cart. And then some updated things like the new Little People Fisher-Price Stand 'n Play Rampway Play Set and another small set to go with our huge collection from the previous kid. Also some additions to still-loved things like more Magnatiles now that there are two kids playing with them

Thanks for the links, I finally got a chance to look at them and am adding several to his list!!! Those twisty animals are so cute!

That's a great idea. You can find really cute ones that are personalized from Company Kids or PBK
