My kids have everything under the sun. There are still things that they haven't played with from last year. It's a bit disgusting. So this year I am scaling very very low. I got my little guy the VSmile Enhanced Learning System and five games that go with it. He loves video games and these will help him learn so it's a win win thing no matter which way I look at it that was about $200. I want to get him one more game that he wants for the XBox 360 and that is all she wrote. My sisters, bil/sil and parents will want to get him stuff too. My 11 year old wants clothes...what else. My 8 year old daugther wants My Sims for the Wii and maybe another game or two and I can get her some clothes too. We just pretty much adopted my 15 year old Nephew and he of course wants clothes. I told hubby that I am so not spending like a loon this year...to this he just rolled his eyes at me and said yeah sure.
I am admant though that it has to be low budget. I don't have the cash after spending so much out in FL....we did all the parks with the kids.
Toys have gotten way too expensive and they want it and then two days later they are bored with it. Maybe I should just give them a big brown box and they would be happiest with that...lol. |
Me too. We just got back from Disney Oct 6th. I am very budgeted this year. Plus My Daughter has so much that she doesnt play with now
