I have been done shopping for a few weeks now, too. I can't get enough of the gift videos! It can be a dangerous game to play though because if I see something more that I know one of my boys would like It's sooooo tempting to buy it.
@@ProgressNotPerfection ha it’s definitely tempting! But we have to stick to our plan unless it’s something small to add to the stocking or Christmas Eve box haha.
Thank you for showing us!! NEVER feel the need to apologize for what you buy YOUR kids. I personally start shopping in Feb until Oct. Single mom of 2 boys 18 ( autistic) and a 14 yr old. You did GREAT.
Yes, I did fairly similar with my shopping as well. I started picking things up as soon as Christmas was over last year 🤣 My oldest son is also on the spectrum so it's always an interesting adventure picking out his gifts 🎁
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. It’s so difficult to find these videos for boys and especially these ages. Found 2 gifts to add to my 8 year old’s list!
Love these videos! Its so nice to see a video for older boys.. the nhl 2022 is gonna take him some time to madter.. its not easy.. i play it with my son.. its my son's favorite thing to do with me.. (none of his friends like the game).. but my son gets the new one every year.. hes now 21 so i love anything we can do together. My son is hockey obsessed and played hockey for 9 years. Buy retired due to too many head injuries.. but he's an official hockey coach now he is coaching the elementary and middle school hockey teams for his old school district. I got him Harry Potter legos (polyjuice potion and a big Ministry of Magic).. he has collected and built nearly all of the HP legos. Although they added several this past year for the 20th anniversary.. i also got him a harry potter lunch box, 3 ps5 games, a cool survivor kit, and some fun tshirts (pittsburgh penguins, game of thrones and house of dragon tshirts).. oh yes i also got him a hockey coach whiteboard clipboard with the full and half rink on it, 2 books on coaching kids hockey, and a notebook with rinks on every other page so he can dream up new drills and draw them out. I love the donut blanket .. i may have to get him that for his birthday..
Those all sound like amazing gifts!! I have tried so many times to get my boys interested in Harry Potter anything but none of them seem to care, hah! It's all about star wars, roblox, and fortnite in our household :)
Great gifts, your son will love the burrito blanket. I got it last year for my 14 year old and he literally is wrapped in it every day 😂 definitely a great buy. 😊
Where did you get the magic magnets? I looked at the link but that wasn’t what was in the video. My son is wanting magnets didn’t know it was popular 😂
To be perfectly honest, I bought them last year and I am not 100% sure where at. Maybe Five Below? I couldn't find the exact ones so I linked one that seemed similar-ish
Just found your channel! New sub here. Love that its progress not perfection great name!! Who knew that drawing with markers on one self would be a thing? ( As I think back as a teen and always had something one of my friends drew on me or I on them) lol
Thank you 🙂 And yes, I was surprised to find they had made markers specific for drawing on oneself. Still not even sure what makes them "safe" but fingers crossed he likes them 😆
Omg i got my 3 kids those same bags from Etsy!! I’m gonna put them under the tree Christmas Eve and tell them anything in the bag will be from Santa and every thing else is from us!! :) that’s what i do!
What we have always done was get our kids 1 big main gift we had 3 kids and the spending limit well it depends on what thy wanted. The family on bot&side gets them tone especially the grand parents so we now only have 1 at home so what we do for out 2 adult kids we give them 100 gift card and something like a candle or body wash .. that's it our son we buy his 1 main gift gi e him 50 gift card we r done.. its simple and sometimes cost effective last yr ps5 all we got his sisters got him the games grand parents got him the stuff to go with it..
I think this may be the last year I get my oldest these sorts of gifts and start doing my gifting for him differently: a lego set, either cash or gift cards, and call it a day unless of course he requests something specific. I am enjoying the last few years I have buying fun kid stuff for my boys
Same here. I just enjoy watching. I’m done shopping but i will still be watching all during this season
Lucky you for being finished with your shopping. I need to start 😩

Yay, I always love seeing you post these
also, love the Santa bag idea! I’ll probably steal that idea 😂
Yes by all means, get yourself some Santa bags! Haha! I saw the idea on "Called To Cultivate"s youtube channel and thought it was so clever.
You bought awesome gifts . You did a good job the kids are going to love them .
Thank you! ❤️
Great gifts, your son will love the burrito blanket. I got it last year for my 14 year old and he literally is wrapped in it every day 😂 definitely a great buy. 😊
That's awesome! My son wraps himself in blankets constantly too, so I am excited to see him wrapped like a burrito 🤣👌
Nice gifts
Thank you! ❤️🎄
Great to see boy ideas. I have 3 myself.
Age 3, 7 and 10. I see a couple of things I want to add. Thanks!
So glad it was helpful! I am forever watching these videos and adding things to our gift piles too 😆
Great gifts
Thanks!! ❤️
love your gift choices! So many similarities within what our kids are into. we're a big nerdy gaming house over here lol
Oh yes, we are all serious nerds here too! I love when I find others who are like us 😁
@@ProgressNotPerfection me too! xx
