DD will be getting the Bitty Twins. I ordered her a few new dress-up gowns from Little Adventures with matching doll dresses! The doll dresses will fit the Bitty Twins. I really love the pink polka dot pram from PBK but am not sure if I will spring for that. I am debating between that and Calico Critters.

DS, I have no idea, but likely something to do with Lego, Star Wars action figures, or Bakugan.

They'll both get books and a few other small things in their stockings.

Mostly 2nd hand stuff...got some great deals on Playmobil (still with box) stuff at a consignment sale last year and have gradually been doling it out for various occasions. I need to inventory what is in our attic LOL.

I know we have a big PM farm set with lots of add ons (2nd hand) and both kids looooove PM.

I have a dollhouse bought 2nd hand for DD (will be newly 3 at Christmas), but DH didn't have it hidden all that well in the attic and she recently spotted it. So that will be for her (december) bday now and maybe she'll get some accessories for Christmas. She'll also get a Haba game I have put away I think (Sleeping Princess and the Pea?) but I have to check the age range on it again as it has been up there for a good year. It may be better to wait another year for that depending.

I have a (2nd hand) Darda racetrack put away for DS in the attic. I need a new car to go with it (Learning Express carries for $10-12 or so I think).

Books for each. DS is getting a few DK books specifically because he loves them.

I'm sure there will be a few other things but those are what come to mind that I have stashed. I know we have more PM stuff but I need to see what is up there when kids aren't around.

DD is getting this balance bike as her main gift --from her grandparents and aunt and uncles as we will be there visiting this Christmas.

Other than that.. I have been searching craigslist for more wooden blocks and a large tricycle. I have several things on my sewing list for gifts including a dollhouse like this one...

And some new art supplies for her stocking.

ETA-- And some new schleich animals for her stocking too (already bought them and then forgot). I also got these story telling cards already for her stocking too...

I'll be following this thread for more ideas.
I actually started shopping last month for DD- which is a first for me. She desperately needs warm/winter clothes so I hit some good sales and bought up a size.
Many books
Dora movie
Music
Dora flashlight and new baby bottle for stocking stuff
Looking for baby stuff- like baby with bed, highchair, stuff like this
Puzzles
Gears (blocks)
Dress up stuff

[KrisM]

So far, this is what I am thinking:

DS1
Legos
Add on to his snap circuits?
Castle Logix

DD
My Little Pony castle and accessories
a couple games

DS2
small race track thing
books

I am really trying to keep it small this year. I know it'll be more than what's up there, but I am not sure what.

Well, I recently posted about my gift angst... My twins have a birthday right before xmas, so we generally go overboard...

As of now I have:
Home Sweet Home dollhouse and couple rooms of furniture
2 small duplo sets (from big sale a while back)
board games (a few bought on sale last year)
puzzles
a calico critters set (may get another to make it even lol)
oh yeah - also have police station duplo from the same sale... completely forgot!

considering purchasing:
a plastic marble run
or a globe (eta: or magnatiles)... not sure yet
stocking stuffers

suggesting that grandpa buy (he takes suggestions):
kid cameras
leapster games
big duplo set
reference books on amazon list
(not all of the above, just suggestions to choose from)

DS is almost 22 mo.. he has a late Nov birthday so I'm thinking about that + Christmas. Either his b'day or Christmas present is going to be a train table with a track set up etc. We've bought it all secondhand.

Other things on my wishlist for him are:
art supplies (to go with an easel being handed down to us)
more balls
wooden blocks
maybe cardboard blocks
CARS movie
cups & plates for his play kitchen
