casbug10 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm having a hard time this year on what to get my kids for christmas. My daughter is 12 and she already has an MP3 player, nintendo ds, dvd player, tv and tons of clothes. My son in 5 (will be 6 shortly after christmas). His interests change on a daily basis. I'm getting nervous on what to get them. BF is fast approaching. Help please....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 For the twelve year old I would think a digital camera, some jewelry, craft kits,paint by number or an art kit, some movies for her DVD player, new games for DS, a new bike or motorized scooter, maybe even a prepaid cell phone and some top up cards. For the six year old I would be as varying as his interest. Magnetix, legos, a portable DVD player with some movies, a Gameboy of some kind, a bike, action figures, some kind of race car set or a radio control car, I think if you think about all the kinds of things he really likes to do it will be easier. When my youngest was six he would have be wanting the craftsman tools that Sears carries for kids. Hope that helps a little bit, but don't worry you will find them gifts and they will be thrilled!!

EmConMom Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 My niece is almost 13 and for the past few years she has been asking for Blockbuster giftcards. Last year we got her one of the 'funky' chairs with a speaker in it for her room, and the blockbuster card so she could rent the movies she wanted. It went over very big.

elena_398 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Last year we bought our son one of those video gaming chairs with the built in speakers. Still a super big hit. They are comfortable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbug10 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 How much are those gaming chairs? I thought about giving her different gift cards but I want her to have something to open on christmas besides gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmConMom Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have seen the chairs anywhere from 29.99 to 79.99, so I'm sure their are different styles etc. My mom got my niece's on clearance, but I did see one in the JCPenney catelog for 39.99 this year.

sleepigrl Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 For the preteen, if you shop for a digital camera you might consider some scrapbooks. Target has cute kits for girls that age and it would go well with the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also has a cell phone that may be another idea.My son is the same way and he is almost 6. He wants a motorized 4 wheeler (walmart) and a new playstation. I figured these are two things that I dont have to worry about him changing his mind on for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me2 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 For the 12 y.o., room decorations. Lava lamps. Bulletin board, fuzzy pillows, matching comforter/curtain combination, funky mirror. 5 y.o., remote control anything with simple controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casbug10 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Well cell phone is out. Her dad just got her one for her good report card. We just redid her room for her birthday. The digital camera sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
