    I'm loving the ideas. I have something they need, something they want and something to wear. Didn't thought about the STEAM part... Might add one.

    @laurapinkham3488 4 роки тому +1

    Love this video!!! I always like doing the one thing to read, want, need, etc. But I never know what to do for wear! So we just limit the number of presents but I like your categories!!

    Great gifts. I'm sure the kids will have a great Christmas. We have a marble run too. But it isn't glow in the dark. That is cool. My 3 yr olds and my 5 yr old love it.

    Great to see your gift choices. Bella will love the James Herriot books. I read them when I was a child too. A true classic for animal lovers. They made it into a tv series here too. Thanks for sharing.

    My 2 babies are 2 and 4...I immediately had to go order Bug Bingo and Dog Bingo. I think they will love it and it sounds like it will be easy to play together even at their young ages. ♥️

  • @angieadkins7264
    @angieadkins7264 4 роки тому

    We went with a more intentional gift giving this year as well. Santa gift, something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read, and something to make/build. So exciting and make us think things through a little bit more instead of just buying this and that and before you know it you have a living room full of gifts and half of them hardly even get played with. I truly enjoy your videos! Thank you for having such a sweet and giving heart! 🥰

    I've been wanting to try these kits! I make my own playdoh sensory bins and sensory bins BUT with a newborn and 3 other kids itd be nice to skip a month.
    We do the wear, need, want, read, and asibling gift. Santa gives only stockings and family gifts.

    This bingo games look so fun! We’re don’t Christmas shopping, but we do family game night every Sunday night too and we need more games to span the gaps of our kids (9, newly 6, newly 3, and due this spring).

  • @thatgirl.2838
    @thatgirl.2838 4 роки тому

    We do the 4 categories also. Sometimes a category will have multiple items if it goes together kinda thing.
    But for the wear I’ll do hoodies. Pjs and slippers or this year I’m getting them a couple jogger sets.
    Doing the 4 categories and of course Santa gift has really forced me to scale back in the best way ever lol. And it really made me sit down and truly think about what to get them for Christmas instead of just throwing random stuff in my cart.

  • @Blooming_Meadow_Schoolhouse
    @Blooming_Meadow_Schoolhouse 4 роки тому +1

    I am trying to be very intentional with the gifts we purchase this year for our girls. Tried to stick to the same something they want, need, wear, read. I did add in something to make and for the first time I am doing a family gift. I’m super excited to see how they like it!

    Would you or have you done a video on your music corner? If not would you tour it and talk about how you have taught all the instruments?

Merry Christmas

    @jhullender3046 4 роки тому

    Love these ideas!! My son wanted a keyboard and my 4 year old also wants literally everything she sees. But her main gift is a Tots Headquarters playset thing. I also went a little book crazy on my kids this year, so they will be getting lots of books! I got the nocturnal book set you recommended for my 7 year old.

    Love the "want, need, STEAM, read" ❤❤❤ Unfortunately doing last minute Christmas shopping 😬 so I may adjust and swap one for STEAM also 😁👍 Yeah, I'm out of the loop also when it comes to whats popular, lol. My kids make a list then I pick the want, need, wear, read, and educational from that 😂

  • @ShirleyJalal
    @ShirleyJalal 4 роки тому

    I love how much your kids LOVE to read! Very inspiring and I hope my daughter loves to read like that! i love the young, wild, and Freidman sensory boxes!

    So love your videos! I can totally relate to the 3 year old wanting everything. My 3 year old girlie has successfully circled everything in the Amazon, Target, and Walmart mailers multiple times in different colors. I finally had to hide them from her because the poor pages couldn't take any more! I didn't dare show her the rainbow resource christmas book!

    You have so many great ideas!! I especially appreciate how you are sooo organized in your gift giving! I have 11 children and after last Christmas I was really trying to figure out a way to downsize on the amount of toys and other stuff we all get at this time of year! We originally decided to do just 1 really wanted gift for Christmas and then a Family Vacation! Unfortunately, it was supposed to be a cruise!☹️ So back to square one! I am really thinking of using your 4 gifts idea!! That would really cut the amounts down! Looking forward to your Stocking Gifts video next!!🤗

    I decided to pick up a few things on Amazon's black Friday. Educational toys that I've been putting off getting. But other than that, we decided not to get much this year because they always get spoiled by grandparents more than I would like (I love how you coordinate with the grandparents and I may try to see if I can encourage something similar).

    My 8 year old son is getting a Nerf gun with glow in the dark bullets, magnatiles to add to a set he got last year, a handmade wooden piggy bank with 4 slots engraved "Save Tithe Give Spend", and an Adidas sweatshirt he's been wanting for a few months. From his Aunt & Uncle he's getting a book of the best photography of WW2 planes (one of his obsessions) & then lots of fun stuff in his stocking. I always go all out for his stocking so I can't wait for your stocking video! He's been loving the Wally McDoogle books (a Christian book series from the 90's) so he's getting the next one in that series & a magnifying glass. He's going to geek out over that 😆. Of course some candy, a mini version of the game simon & a gemstone dig kit from "Santa" even though he knows he's not real. We still pretend 😉
