Christmas 2010 -- girls

[Clarity]

I've got nothing for dd2 (2) either. It's so hard to buy for them when dd1 got everything the first time around. DD2 doesn't need a thing!

[bubbaray]

bumping for today's crowd -- come on ladies, the boys thread is getting more love. Hit me with your girl gift ideas!

[hbridge]

DD wants board games and Harry Potter Legos and "that's it". We don't have too many wants this year.

She IS getting some American Girl accessories. The gift we are most excited to give her is a dart board (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product), she's obsessed.

Franklin Goose was good to me in the spring so I got a lot of great stuff for free! Normally, we wouldn't have so many pricey items!!
DD's birthday is mid-November and she will be 2. For her BD, we are giving her the Plan Toys My First Dollhouse and accessories (this was all free!). Grandparents are doing a zoo membership and an outdoor playhouse. For Christmas, we are doing a wooden play kitchen (from grandparents) and the Ikea easel and accessories as the 'big gifts'. Then I have a box of stuff I will divide over the 2 events. Plan Toys Banjo, Breakfast Set, a boy doll, Haba memory and charades, lacing beads, a floor puzzle, kitchen stuff from Casey's Wood, m&D playdoh accessories, apron & oven mitt, Ikea play food, and some Holztigers for her stocking. I'm asking my brother to get some cloth doll diapers from Etsy. That's IT!

I am having a hard time this year. Older DD is getting old for "toys". She's at a bit of an awkward age.

Some things I have thought about.....

Older DD (9)

accessory kit for her Kaya AG doll
accessories for 18" AG Like You Doll (she has been saving her allowance forever and almost has enough)
re-fills for various craft activities - yarn, etc.
nightgown/PJs
GeoPuzzle World puzzle

Younger DD (4 soon)

Bitty Baby accessory (she's getting a BB for her birthday)
matching PJs/nightgown to BB
Ravensburger puzzle

Other than that I am a bit at a loss. I will probably also get them games, because we love games.

We have a million books and older DD got deluged with books for her birthday. so I don't want to really do that. Ugh.

My girls are getting the Playmobil School Building to share- for Chanukah.
My in laws and parents will probably ask me to pick something out as well, but I'm not up to that.
