2019 Holiday Gifts

I thought I’d put together a list of what I’m adding to my boys’ wish lists this year. For reference, J is 5.5 years old, L & V are 2.5 years old. Also, this is not everything they are getting! Just a list I put together for grandparents to choose from if they want some ideas. My husband and I keep gifts VERY light on Christmas for our boys — we are so lucky that grandparents, aunts/uncles, and great aunts/uncles are very generous. My husband and I like to spend our money and effort making the holiday magical in other ways throughout the month with an advent calendar (post coming soon!), different activities, a Christmas Eve box, stockings, and hosting brunch for our whole family on Christmas morning.

Rolling Storage Cart — We are going to do a playroom refresh and this will store all of the legos!

Visual Measuring Cups — How cute are these!?

A NUGGET!! I know this has already been purchased — they are going to flip!

Scooters —Reading through the reviews I think that this larger size will be ok for the younger ones to grow in to.

Name Puzzles — I have these on for the 2.5 year olds. I like that the first letter is capitalized and the rest is lower case, like how they will learn to write their name.

School Photo Insert — I plan on just getting the insert and buying my own frame, but they also sell the whole frame as an option, too.

Calligraphy Magic Drying Cloth — Can write on with water and it disappears!

Swing — The twins have a little nook off of their bedroom and I’d love for it to be a lounge area and this swing seems so fun!

Squishy Human Body — My 5 year old loves all things medical and this came recommended from a friend

Fraction puzzle — for the 5 year old

Woodland Friends Sewing Kit — my 5 year old also said he wanted to learn how to sew!

Taco Truck Taco Holders — We already have 2 of these but we have 3 kids :)

Abacus — I will get this from IKEA because it’s cheaper there, but in case you don’t have one by you here is one from Amazon.

Name tracing board — for the 2.5 year olds

IKEA table — this can be used as a sensory table and as a regular table. Plan on using this for LEGOS on one side and sensory bins as well. Also plan on getting the coordinating stools.

Dollhouse / shelf — group gift to all boys. Will also get furniture from IKEA to go in.

Knife and peeler — I think I will get one of these for each boy. I don’t think the twins are ready quite yet but will be soon and our IKEA is far away so I may hold onto them for their 3rd birthday.
