I absolutely love how you focus on high quality gifts that are based on their interests and don’t fill up their pile with junk! We started doing this a few years ago and the difference has been amazing. When she has less she’s so much more creative and imaginative, it’s beautiful. We are getting her 2 more sets of magnatiles this year, a Lego space set, some books and a few calico critters bits and that’s it! Everything will be so loved ❤
Always think of summer when shopping for Christmas. Even with extended family. Swimming suits, towels, beach toys. Camping supplies, outdoor toys. New sled is a must.
I love the desk! Great idea for my 14 year old daughter. I'm trying to go more simple this year, and buy things that are more practical and will last, rather than a bunch of small toys they get sick of after a few weeks.
5:42 Ahhh we desperately need one of these! We got the Yoto for my daughters birthday alongside the adventure jacket and a few cards and she LOVES it but haven’t got the card holder! It really is one of the best gift ideas in my opinion. She has autism and loves to listen to her audio books when she’s on her desk doing something creative or playing with her legos, magnatiles or even her collection of plus plus. It’s truly amazing and worth the investment ❤
Enjoyed your video. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well hotwheels tracks and cars hold up. My boys have had them for years and years, some even from when my uncle was a child. They have lasted many decades of wear and tear!
Oh that’s good to know! We have lots of hot wheels cars that are much loved. We had a set of tracks years ago, and my memory is of them always laying around and being stepped on. But it was just the road pieces, it wasn’t a fun set like the one they’re getting this Christmas. I’m glad to hear they hold up well!
We always get Christmas pajamas, but we buy way ahead not a gift. I let mine choose and my oldest daughter chose that same nightgown and doll dress. My oldest son chose that same Christmas tree pattern. They know I watch your channel so I’ll have to show them. They will think that’s neat.
Ok yes ours is the mini too! We haven’t gotten the jacket yet, and I wasn’t sure how necessary it was. It seems very durable and sturdy. It’s just a protective case right? With a handle?
So sweet that Andrew had to add something! My husband is not a gift giver and finds it stressful enough just shopping for me, so I am the decider and shopper for the kids in our family. I don’t mind though!
I know what you mean, I love doing the shopping too! In general, Andrew just loves Christmas. I do too, but him even more, so he just loves getting involved in all the aspects 😊
Off topic, but I remembered not long ago you shared book suggestions and there was a Christmas one you suggested. It had a girls name like Ivy or Holly or something Christmas-y. What was it called?

Great ideas! We have five solid sleds and they’re getting pulled out today because we got a big snowfall over the weekend! 👏🏻
Great job 😊
Your videos about what you are giving your kids for Christmas are always some of my most favorite. You just have such a sweet family. 🥰
We sometimes do sibling gifts as well.

It’s so nice the thought you put into each child’s interests! Your kids will have a great Christmas🙂
Thank you! I think they will too 🥰
Loved this video!! What would your answers be to: What would you want, what do you need, something to wear and something to read?
So thoughtful! Kids don’t need more toys/junk! Experience’s are the best gift
Yes! 👏🏻
No they are not. Kids needs toys it helps them learn and be normal kids. Experiences are for the adults.

My favorite vlog that you do every year!!
You always give such useful gifts, and make Christmas memorable for your children.
We do our best! 🥰
We have yoto mini. It gets used everyday!! It wasn't mentioned but if you didn't get the adventure jacket we love our yoto.
Ok yes ours is the mini too! We haven’t gotten the jacket yet, and I wasn’t sure how necessary it was. It seems very durable and sturdy. It’s just a protective case right? With a handle?
@mamatofive1 a little wrist strap and silicone cover but so neccessary. The yoto seems super sturdy but I wouldn't use it without the cover
Idea for next year. Cozy bath robe for all
