My 4yo asked Santa for a 'big excavator.' I'm not sure what that will be yet! My 9yo couldn't decide what to ask for.
I am getting them both Snuggie Tails (which the 4yo has asked for) and MagnaTiles.
They have fun home things at Modcloth (which I order clothes from all the time) so I think I'm going to get the 4yo some dinosaur string lights and the 9yo some comparable unicorn thing.
Art supplies & books are always solid hits at our house. I will look for a couple of secondhand XBox games for the big and maybe an easy preschool one for the little.
The 9yo doesn't really play with toys anymore and doesn't really care about things/gifts, either. I'm thinking about getting her a gift certificate to the movies, the pottery painting place, etc. for a mommy-daughter date since she & I don't get to do that often.
I don't exchange gifts with my husband. He is terrible at gift-giving so I 'let him off the hook' a long time ago. I will find some little things for his stocking but that's all.
