MathGirl Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 The Angel tree at my husbands office is up. Woohoo! He said I could choose 4 gift recipents now and then more in two weeks. (he thinks I should let everyone else have a chance to pick names too) All of tags have "Educational Books, Toys and Clothes" listed along with their gender and age. There are no specific toy suggestions. We purchased a bunch of toys during Targets 75% off toy clearance. One of the toys is a Hannah Montana Miley and Jake doll set (similar to Barbie and Ken) I've picked up other Hannah Montana stuff too, to go with the dolls. My question is, is Hannah Montana okay for a 5 year old girl? I have read that some parents are giving Hannah Montana stuff to their girls, but I just wanted to double check with all the Moms on the forums. Thank you!
gtraci Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Most definitely. My 5 year old loves Hannah Montanna and High School Musical.

orangedaisy Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 My boys' lists are short! My 17 year old wants just one thing - a MacBook. My 9 year old is still thinking... The only thing he has asked for so far is an iTouch, and I already got it for him.
KBsDarling Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 just typed up DDs list...only 49 items which is way down as it used to basically be a toy book unto itself but GEEZ the saying about Never growing and just having toys get more expensive is true LOL I miss you 10$ fischer price playset! Several items on list are just flat out no's. We have a dog...why do we need Biscuit the loving pup?? Torn on Pixos. She has 4 different "houses" Hannah, HSM, Bratz, and a barbie castle i think requested....so unless Santa has a new addition forthe RL house in that big bag I dont see her getting 4 large space sucking items in one year. Craft and cooking is a major category. The Girl Gourmet things are all lsited. Anyone try the cupcake and ice cream maker things yet?? 4 different moon sand sets. We play moon sand alot. We have a glassed in back porch that is DDs art studio basically LOL So it is played without there and its easy to clean up w/ a stick vacuum
jeninpa Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 My kids have told me very, very few things. I keep asking what they want especially since my mom has her Christmas Club money now and wants to buy them their stuff! They can't think of anything! There just isn't anything out yet that they don't already have. They need to come out with new toys and gadgets fast! lol DS13Laptop - already bought it,lolAmerican Eagle or Hollister clothes(Xbox 360 for his birthday) DD12LaptopDS games, Singstar games for PS2 (that she doesn't already have,lol) DD9Laptopclothes DS4He has asked for every toy he has seen anywhere,lolFiretrucks, garbage trucks, ambulances(Kid Tough digital camera , BB gun, Ds games, wii games for his birthday)

They say the cupcakes taste really good. My DD wants one too but I may save this idea for her BD in March unless one of the grandmas want to get it. We have an easy bake and she loves it.
wnc_mom Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 DS-2 wants/is getting(of course) Elmo Live(already bought WEEKS ago whew!) drum set(already got it) Ride on John Deere tractor Fire Truck(already got it) Wonder Pets stuff Cars/trucks Mickey Mouse Club House stuff (or "hot dog" as he calls it) crayola color wonder stuff and much more!
pogiporkchop Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 My DD5 also wants Hannah Montana anything... I'm still figuring out how she learned about her since we don't have cable TV and I never told DD her about her! Anyway, HM is encouraging her to sing and write her own songs so I'm not complaining. She also wants that cupcake maker and a lot of other toy cooking things, but for the cost I may just get her real cooking items and start teaching her myself in the kitchen. DS7, I think, is being quite reasonable in asking for board games. I've been writing their wishes on post its and other various pieces of paper so it's time to compile those lists, narrow them down and write those letters to Santa!

Renkat Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I've heard the following items talked about as top of the list: anything "Bakugan" Nintendo DS Scene-it dvd games Lego Star Wars stuff Hyperdash I'm sure there's more here that I am not aware of - especially for girls. And, of course, there's always the video game systems with games. Good luck.

elena_398 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Not sure if your daughter's school has a school store, but my daughter wants a lot from there. They sell (in the school office area).... school hoodies, earring sets, pajama pants, t-shirts, hats etc. All with the school colors and emblems on it. Great gift ideas. I still have to go in there to get my daughter a pair of the lounge pants. They are adorable. Come in their school colors- black/gold/white and it says PERRY down the leg (her school).
wormurm Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 My daughter recently turned 8 and some of what she wants is: Neopets Cheetah Girl doll Littlest Pet Shop Nintendo DS Lite DS games Super Mario Bros. items
racerfan Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 My DD is now 10 but around 7 - 8 she was crazy about American Girl.
shopping mom Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 My DD20 was a real tomboy at that age too. We would get her things like a purple soccer ball and soccer goals, a radio controled car (I would try to find a girlish color) inline skates (heelys might be good now) a bike or skateboard. She had her girlie moments so for those she had an easy bake oven and craft sets. What is on her list??

KrisinTn Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 During VBS this past summer our church family became aquainted with a group of 7 children. These kids range in age from 3 to 5. To say that they have nothing would be accurate. We went on a huge clothing/food drive while VBS was going on and managed to have a van load to distribute to them at the end of the week. We have stayed in touch with the families and plan on having a Christmas social with them on Dec 14th. We are buying all of them coats, and have about $400 to spend on toys for these kids. What we hope to get are things that will encourage independent play relying on them using their imaginations. My son is 15 so it's been a while since I had to buy for this age group...lol. I would appreciate any ideas that you could give me. Thanks!!!!
