Ok, I'll play! I've got a 5yo and a 6yo (plus a 3yo that I'll try not to post about)

Hits
QVC special that DD saw when we were in a hotel room this summer and she couldn't sleep at 4:30am glow in the dark TWISTER TRAX -like Build-A-Road. We got this set and the additional set on the right with the super-fast ambulance. Complete fun after dark because the cars have lights on front and back and they go at different speeds, not to mention the track glows.

No Stress Chess - It seemed like a miss at first, but it's completely a favorite now!
The free pink cookware set from the grocery
personalized lab coat
reciprocal membership to kids museum
leap school math
broom set from TRU - this should maybe go to the top of the list for the 3yo (oh, sorry, this one was for the youngest)

Misses

So far:
DS1 loves his Lego sets (Ninjango and train)

DS2 loves his remote control motorcycle and Samari costume and running tights

Both liked their boxing bag

DD 6

She has been ridiculously spoiled this year and seems very excited about several things...

Nook tablet
Hand me down DS with new Magic School Bus game
No stress chess so she can teach mommy how to play
AG girl doll and clothes
New suede boots from LE, I mean Santa...
Wool cat booties from GH
Matching mom and daughter HA sweaters
Red ballet style flats from GH

For DD- almost 8 yo.

Hits- PlayWonder dollhouse. I was worried she would not go for it as it was not exactly what she wanted and was in fear of having a personalized version of the dollhouse disappointment scene from "Babe". Luckily, she really likes it, which it good because I bought expansion pieces for her birthday in two weeks.

Velveteen Rabbit plush sent by Grandma, who also knit a special scarf for it.

My Little Pony Microphone which I searched all over town for and will do some manual volume control on when she's not looking (magic tape over the speaker works wonders).

I don't know if there will be any... some things she has not played with much but I think she will later. The Razor scooter has been relatively ignored.
