My daughter loves pull toys – found a great one by Melissa & Doug that was inexpensive and I LOVE that it does more than just roll! Here’s where I found it: http://www.yuppiebabyonline.com/toys_wooden-003.html
A radio flyer scooter!!
The Baby Stella Doll and bath accessories!
I got my daughter the zhou zhou pets and she absolutely loves them!

Pillow pet blanket and pillow…..both are too cute!!!!!
Dora’s Plush Backpack in toddler size. Fits all the essentials: sippy cup, snack trapper and teddy. It also gives our young toddler a little sense of independence (which she loves)…she “has” to be responsible for her own things!
the mini-kick scooter and ‘my first computer’ by leapster for my 2.5 year old. i bought ’scout’ ( a little plush dog who plays different games)from leapfrog for my 1 yr old – apparently you can program their names and preferences into it.
Karaoke Revolution for the Wii or Xbox 360….preferably the Xbox 360 because you can download more music. The Wii does not have that option. This new version allows you to really customize your character and has great stage settings and also allows you to video yourself(xbox and ps3).
for my toddler: Little People playsets, play food, magnadoodle and a playhut
The must-have gift for our son this year was a Kid Kraft Train Table
My 2 year old son loves kitchen and helping out in the kitchen, so we are getting him a small island kitchen with a bunch of food and cooking accessories. I’m so excited because I know he will love it, I can’t wait ’til Christmas. Other family members got him the table top Melissa and Doug Easle with paint accessories, a door way puppet theater with a couple of animal puppets and the Skuut bicycle. I’ll likely put some of these away for a few months since his birthday is not until August. BTW, his favorite gift last year was the Parents drum filled with instruments (he still plays with it every day and we use it to store other shakers, etc. that we’ve bought) and the remote control car. His favorite second birthday gifts were a Thomas and Friends figure 8 train set and a cash register. I hope this helps.
Sassy’s Keyboard Classics. Although it’s small, the little musical toys keep him mesmerized!
I playskool ball popper- it amused my toddler and 6 month old at a family members house for a week! Also a kidcraft woodern garage for my toddler- hopefully that will be a sturdy and fun toy for winter days when we are stuck indoors.
Elmo tickle hands
Elmo Live Encore
Bobo Wrap!
About $14 and up.
Eco friendly reusable silk wrapping paper (can be used as a scarf or to wrap gifts over and over). They are gorgeous and there are clear “how to” videos to show you how to wrap gifts of all shapes and sizes simply or as fancy as it gets.

The Tag Reader by LeapFrog. Hopefully my 4 year old will learn to read faster!
One Step Ahead 3-in-1 Activity Gym, it has a ballpit, slide and swing all in one. We gave it to my 1 yr old daughter this past weekend and she loves it. Hopefully, it will keep her amused through the winter months.
puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles!
The vtech light up learning phone – http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3515068 – keeps him busy for hours!!!
The gift I want most for my toddler is the gift of happiness and laughter. To have my child get through the cold months without getting sick is another gift in itself! Holidays are more than just presents but its the gift of joy, peace and understanding for those you love most!
The Sing along CD player….both kids can play their own CD’s while singing along in their microphone. CUTE!!
DVD player for restaurants and plains.
