Are You Done Christmas Shopping Yet?

What are your kids wanting? There are a lot of sales and promotions going on. Perhaps some of us could point you to some great bargains. Last year I waited until last minute and couldn't get much that I wanted. We ended up giving the kids a coupon for a shopping trip in the amount that we would have spent. So they got to go out and pick out some presents. They were really happy about it. They still had something to open just not as much as we had planned.

My 6 year old daughter wants Bratz Kidz dolls but the ones she pointed out were all like $20-$25 each. Not going to happen. We will get her the cheaper ones (maybe 2) and a bunch of books (she reads these Junie B Books). My son is 5 and all of a sudden into professional wrestling so we know what we are getting him. Then there is my 4 year old. She liked the Fisher Price Mommy and Me (I think that is the name) toddler doll. It talks and makes slurping noises. She has the baby version of this doll (actually 3 of them) and really like the toddler. It is expensive though. She also liked this Barbie vet thing. It is a small stuffed dog that makes noises when you pet it. She loves dogs and wants to be a vet when she grows up so she really like that one. She also wanted furniture for her doll house and a Polly Pocket car that had some animals and people with it. And the big things she wants is a toy kitchen (she really loved the talking Dora one). We can't afford the kitchen. I wanted to get her one a couple years ago but they are so expensive. She has a ton of dishes and play food but no kitchen. I just don't know what to get her because it is all expensive. The baby is probably getting something small now. The thing I wanted to get her was $30 but she liked these train things with little animals in it so we will probably get her those. She is only 8 months old so she won't care.
