SuperMommy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 What do you already have stashed in a closet or on layaway for your kiddos? We went a few weeks ago and put a swing set on layaway for the girls. Also, we've got a few books and movies that we've found on sale. And we found this little Cheerios dispenser for Kaylie. But that's pretty much it.
NeepNeep Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 My adult daughter gets money. For my SO's daughter (15) we have a few PS2 games, pajamas & slippers, and shoes so far.
mrodgers169 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Well of course I got my 2 year old the TMX Elmo (I want to take it out of the box myself!!) and I got him the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! MY older son I've got him a couple PS2's games and a scooter so far! I AM soo psyched for Christmas this year... Guess because both my boys are so excited to see Santa!!!
shopping mom Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I have a nice watch for one of the boys that I picked up from Kohls. I have jeans and other clothes I know there are hoodies from Aeropostle that I picked up for 5.00 a piece. I have some toys for DD3 that I held back from last year (she was getting way to much) I have some small electronic dart boards, and some stocking stuff but I do not remember what. DD3 will need winter clothes and DD18 is harder to but for. She wants a six string Seagull guitar and I do not think I can get it this year. I am so glad that I have some stuff put away. Thanks for reminding me.
Bunniq Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 No kiddies of our own, but DH and I have already bought items for our nephews. We bought Cars throws for the two oldest, a My First Story Reader for the youngest, and for all three we bought shirts that have the following on them... "Help! Call Auntie and Uncle, Mommy and Daddy need a break!" We will search the ads for ideas, and of course come here. At Christmas they will be 4, 3, and 1!

Thanks for reminding me. Hoodies at Aeropostale for $5?? That's a great deal!! I, myself, love their polos. They fit me better than any other brand. So when they have them for $9.99, I always pick up a couple.
Firemansgal311 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I have the pixter and four games for ds2, the TMX elmo for ds3 a couple bratz things for dd. Not alot....lol;) Although everyone else I have to buy for is finished:)
starshine Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 So far I have a RC car, Thing Feet and the costume, some action figures, a plug and play Dragon Ball Z, and a few other small toys. For the Stepkids they get money but I have a few shirts that I bought for them that I know they will like. That is about it.
blakes_mommy Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I have two little ones so I got them those new pillow things that you stuff a regular pillow in to and they are a character, one power ranger, one cinderella. Barbie and the 12 dancing princess dolls, power rangers, and some GBA games.

biomajor Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 My kids are 14 and 16 (will be 17 next week--damn I'm getting old!!) and I haven't bought anything for either of them. For my nieces and nephews, I have those small digital cameras for the older ones, (OD, I think) and Pixters for the younger ones along with a bunch of stuff I've picked up at Target for my favorite one
