Anyone dying for Christmas morning already?

Sweet Shoppe SugarBabe
I've gotten the kids some things I think they're just going to flip over and they have no idea they're getting!

And Sean, I've gotten him several surprises he didn't ask for.

What gives are you just dying to give your family?

We got Keira a kindle fire, I told her before she couldn't even ask for one until she turns 10. She was talking about it the other day and said something about asking for one when she was 10, so I told her maybe we'd wait until she's 11. LOL! She also asked for the Sew Cool sewing machine, I told her she wasn't getting it. LOL, mainly because I was already done shopping, but we had a ton of Kohl's rewards points, I got it for her for free basically!

Cooper we got him some star wars characters he will not be expecting. Plus their big surprise a Wii U.

The hubby, he was talking about fishing poles 2 or 3 months back, so I talked to a friend who recommended one to me. Sean even said something again the other day that he was looking at them, but had no idea what to buy. So that I'm really excited to give him, plus some really cool Star Wars Coasters & a Darth Vader t-shirt that looks like the death star blowing up.

I love Christmas! LOL!
 
Cheyanne will be surprised when she opens her new Nike sweatpants and matching Nike sweatshirt. I know it doesn't sound like much but money is always tight and she knows I refuse to pay $50 for a pair of sweat pants and $60 for a sweatshirt just for the label but I found both on a clearance rack and Dick's and with my Dick's coupons and reward points I got both for $50. I know she will absolutely love them.
 
me omg! I just posted this as my status yesterday. My son has been begging for a toothless doll since the dragon 2 movie came out and santa is bringing him one. I can't wait for him to open it!!
 
oh gosh there is a toothless doll? I might have to look at that for Lucas... he's been drawing a LOT of toothless LOL!
 
I'm so excited! Connor is really into the Ninja Turtles and Santa is bringing the sewer lair and I can't wait to see his imagination come to life. I have great memories of playing He-Man with my brother and hopefully my kids will have similar memories.

Paige is getting the Elsa snow globe singing doll - I can't wait! It's extra special to us since one morning at Disney another girl near us at breakfast had one. It was just Paige and I at 6:00A because she wouldn't sleep, and everytime the girl would make the doll sing Paige would sing 'goooooooooooo!' too. It was so cute!!

I can't wait for Christmas morning! It stinks being done this early, I just want to give them their presents. LOL
 
I haven't even done half the shopping yet!

Brooke used her birthday money to buy an Android tablet in October. We paid the difference to get her a really good quality one, and told her that's her Christmas present too. She's happy with that.

We ended up getting Elisa a smaller tablet that she is totally not expecting, so it will be fun watching her open that.

The girls are both getting bedroom makeovers too. We've been talking about it for a while with them, so it's not exactly a big surprise, but they are excited. Other than that I'm not sure. Stocking filler stuff, or things for their rooms I guess.

As for hubby....NO idea. The man doesn't need anything. Like at ALL. I'm hoping to convince him not to swap presents between us, and just concentrate on the kids.
 
I'm always just as excited as the kids. LOL I can't wait to give them their gifts.

For Chloe (who will be 3 in Feb), she's been asking for a "pink bicycle with a pink helmet and pedals" and a specific baby doll (she calls it the Chloe doll cause it has long dark hair like she does). We got her that doll and a pink tricycle with a pink Minnie Mouse helmet. She'll flip!

For Kendra (16), I'm most excited about a Blue Bird Cafe t-shirt I got her. She's a musician, and her dream is to play at the Blue Bird in Nashville some day. I also got her a collection of several classic country albums on vinyl. She's really into vinyl lately, so that will be a huge hit with her.

For hubby, he's SO hard to buy for. His big gift will be a weekend long class that he's been wanting to take. It's $85 to register, so he's always talked himself out of spending the money. I already signed him up for the one over Christmas break. ;)

I'm more anxious for my husband to open his gifts than for the kids. LOL I found him several things he has been wanting and several he needs. He is usually the hard one to buy for. I did give him his iPad early though.

My kids have their Santa lists so hopefully Santa brings those... except that Declan wants a live beagle from Santa and we've been told Santa doesn't bring live animals. Bummer!

We are getting each of the kids an iPad mini. When DH got his iPad, the 0 year old started asking if he could have the Nexus (my Christmas present from a few years back that DH has been using since I got the school issued iPad). We told him no and said he isn't old enough or a tablet. They will be shocked because we've told them both no tablet until they are at least 14. LOL
 
I can't wait to see my son's face when he opens his Xbox Live Gold membership. We had a three month free trial and he loved having it. He asked me to sign him up for the year, but I told him no that we agreed that the free one was enough until school was over. He had been playing more than doing homework, so we had a long talk and told him that he needed to prioritize. He has been doing really great now with his homework and his IEP makes it much easier on him, so I bought him the one year. He's going to flip.

Our dd who is 5, really wanted some Disney Princess pictures to hang on her wall. I looked everywhere and couldn't find any that were good quality for the price. I was bummed. My girlfriend brings a big box over the other day and asks me (I hadn't told her about DD's wish) if I could use these things she had in her basement and wanted to donate. I opened the bag and there are SIX original Disney prints all framed of Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty etc. She has had them stuffed away for more than 20 years!!! She got them when she went to Disney and forgot. Her girls are now older so she asked if DD would like them. I hugged her so hard, she thought I was crazy! LOL...My DD will LOOOVE them!
 
Nick is 8 and I got him a Bluay player for the basement and a ton of bluays like tons. lol He's going to be excited to get to see all those movies in the basement. He also asked Santa for some Minecraft Lego sets and I am pretty sure Santa can handle that. I am going to give my mom a spa day with me, I am excited to give that to her.
 
I got my son some games he wanted for his XBox that are no longer made, but these are still new in package. He'll be excited, but he won't show it because he never does. He'll probably say I shouldn't have spent that much money. He knows exactly how much they cost because he wants them but refuses to spend the money.

I got my oldest daughter a bunch of work out clothes, which I know she wants. My youngest daughter wanted some "merch" from YouTube vloggers and not only did I get her some, I managed to land her an autographed t-shirt from her favorite. I'm excited to see them open those gifts.

My DH is getting a The North Face rain jacket. He works outside year round and he hates rain days, so I thought I'd splurge and get him a really nice rain coat. Hopefully he likes it.

I'm getting a Silhouette Cameo that I'm dying to open. The way our Christmas works I'll open it and then the next day we start travelling. We get home for 2 days and then we leave for a week vacation. I want to play with the Cameo, but it may be January before I can get to it... and I'm dying because I know it's there and I could have played all day today.
 
I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas. I get pretty moody in November now and it doesn't end for a long time. :(
But I do put a smile on my face and do my best for the kids. :)
I usually love Christmas morning when they open presents!
 
We haven't even started shopping yet. :( Someone has been sick in our house since before Thanksgiving so we haven't had a chance to go yet. I am starting to get very nervous because we are normally done by now!
 
I hope everyone feels better soon!

Amazon prime, I've been done for a while, but 90% of the gifts I bought on Amazon.

well... kiddo has asked for socks and underwear, again, for Christmas... apparently he thinks it funny. haha... I finally have him branched out that he wants an archery set (which I had already bought last summer during a Zullily blow out sale) and a Aaron Rodger's Packer jersey (which was new to us - but not surprising)...

What I'm most excited is that I FINALLY finished our vacation album of San Francisco that we took DH's grandma and aunt along on in September... we are giving them each a copy of the album - I just sent it to print tonight! I hope they will like it!!
 
I wouldn't say I was busting but I am looking forward to watching my boys open the Minecraft Lego I bought for them today (which was very hard to find in the shops here) - two of their favourite things in the whole world combined!!
 
I might feel more excited about Christmas morning after I get through Katie's Sweet 16 party, my in-laws being here this week, a history fair project for my youngest and actually getting some ornaments on the tree. I'm having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit this year. It feels like the Christmas sprint instead.

I have to say though - there is nothing better than anticipating your child's response to a surprise gift you know they will love and then seeing them open it. That is part of the magic of Christmas!!!
 
LOL well actually the present that I'm looking forward to GIVING is something that Rachel hasn't ever heard of...I found some Fashion Plates, just like I had as a kid (with updated styles). She loves those fashion sticker books and art, so I thought she'd love them. I want to play with them too LOL.
 
I got DD5 those personalized books that have her name, bday, etc. Her mind is going to be so blown.

She also is always asking what time it is. I got her a cheapie digital wristwatch that I know she is going to love and feel so grownup wearing.
 
I'm excited! I ended up getting the toothless stuffy from build a bear and Lucas will be quite surprised since I told him the possibility wasn't going to be there for Christmas since it had been sold out :)
 
I really am. I always love it but this year I think they'll love their gifts. And my toddler should really be into it this time.
