DQOTD: FAVE GIFT YOU HAVE PURCHASED

What is your favorite gift you have purchased or plan on purchasing to give somebody? Is it sentimental for any special reason or something you want yourself? Tell us about it!!

I got my 5 month old a Jumperoo for Christmas and I can't wait to give it to her! She loves to jump & bounce all over the place and I know she's going to LOVE it!!! And I can also stick her in it for her exercise while I do my Wii Fit! lol! I always try but she stops me a few minutes into it because she wants to play! So I know her and I can do our exercise at the same time! lol!

I'm excited that I was able to get my kids and hubby the items that they wanted! Aubrey wanted Zhu Zhu Pets, Aaron wanted Pillow Pets, and hubby wanted a Plantronics PRO bluetooth! I got all of them for really good prices too!

Probably the American Girl dolls that I got for the girls and the Diego Rescue Pack for Kyle! They have been asking for them for months & putting them at the top of their wish lists to Santa...so I know they are going to be so excited to see them on Christmas morning!!

My hubby wants a Nook... and I've been downplaying it saying that it's stupid and he is never going to use it... hee, hee... I hope that he doesn't catch on...

I have to say it was pretty exciting to buy DD her first baby cabbage patch doll. DS is getting Nintendo DS games and some other things. Nothing really sentimental this year

I have a lot of things I'm loving to give. I bought dh Beatles Rock Band and Super Mario Bros for Wii, as well as Press Your Luck and Bookworm for DS. I bought my son a quartet of t-shirts from his favorite college. I bought my dd a ton of Aeropostale shirts. Both my son and that dd are getting iPod touch, plus accessories.

My youngest DD is getting zhuzhu pets. I was lucky and found them in the store in September and bought all they had. I also just ordered her a Cabbage Patch Kid, direct from Babyland General. I have collected CPKs on and off for years, and she's starting to get interested in it (she's 9). I can't wait to give her this special doll.

I'm excited to give the boys' their DSs and my father the thermos mug I posted about last night.

We got my inlaws an overnight trip to Birmingham with tickets to see Rod Stewart...they love him and have no idea...unfortunately the concert isn't until May 24th, but they will love it all the same.

I got my oldest DD a sit and spin. She loves spinning in mommy's desk chair and could do it for hours so now she can spin herself. I can't wait to see the joy she gets from it and the awesome pics I can of her playing!

Well, my favorite to GIVE will probably be the stuffed Wall*E that I plan on picking up at the Disney store this afternoon. Rachel is a HUGE Wall*E fan and so I think she'll be thrilled with it.

But my favorite gift that I EVER gave was to my mom years and years ago...I gave her a box full of oranges, nuts, and mints, which is what used to fill her stocking every year as a kid. It gave her the happy sniffles...so that made my day

We got the kids a Train table, Keira asks to go play with them everytime we got to Toys R Us. So, I think they'll both be super excited.

well, we didn't get any of the items they asked Santa for (Jenna asked for a DS, Xan asked for a skateboard, and Quin asked for a drum set). But I think we did pretty good.

Jenna is getting a TON of clothes (since she is pretty much out of the toy stage now), , new bedding and some games. She is gonna squeal when she sees that I got her Adora-boots from ON, since she was telling me all about them AFTER I got home from Christmas shopping, saying how cute they were. hehehe Oh, and the New Moon board game I am sure will create an equal or better reaction. lol
Xander is getting clothes, a Hot Wheels track, new bedding and some games. I wanted to get him a skateboard, but I don't wanna pay the price for one. lol I don't do cheap ones, I know that they don't last as long. I will more than likely get him one this summer from a friend that owns a skateboard shop, where we used to live.
Quinten is getting clothes, Cars MegaBloks, new bedding and some games (can you see a theme here? lol).
Cody ... so stuck on him. I bought him a pair of Skull Candy earphone (the kind that go over the ear) ... and then I found out he broke his iPod. I don't have the money to replace with another iPod, but I may just get him a cheap knock-off until he can afford to replace it himself.
The little boys are also getting a few joint items, like a car roadway rug (from IKEA) for their room, and NHL2K for the Wii.
Oh, and family gift ... the new Super Mario for the Wii, and Lego Indiana Jones for the 360.

And Des is more than likely going shopping again next weekend and buying more stuff, I just don't know what to do with that guy. lol He is usually Mr. Scrooge ... until the last payday before Christmas and then HE goes nuts, usually without me knowing about it. lol

I am excited to give my DH all his gifts. He thinks that I have no money because I told him I spent it all on winter clothes for our boys. We agreed that we weren't giving each other gifts this year because we have to buy appliances. But I never listen.

I took the boys shopping today at Walmart for their grandparents. They get a photobook every year but I also give the boys $10 per grandparent to spend. They walked around for an hour looking for the perfect gift. It was too cute! The best is the double pack of WD-40 for my FIL.

I found a brand new Ratatouille game for my niece. They only have the game cube system, and most games are all used (got a used Madden game for my nephew), but she absolutely LOVES rats, and I know she is just going to LOVE this game. Amazon.com is my fave shopping place this year!!

I love when I can find something that is just going to make them scream with joy. I'm going to have my sil video tape her opening it!! I really wish they could be here for Christmas this year!

I love this Amanda!! How fun!!

my mom got a wii for their house for all the kids and i'm the only one that knows about it, so i'm excited to see my brother and my kids open that, they're going to flip.

same as Vanessa, the train table from TRU. they'll all play with it, but i bought it with Aidan in mind. he loves trains. i am so excited to see the look on their faces when they see it! i got the girls a doll house, and Chloe's getting a Leapster 2.

I am getting Ben a Lego Space Needle that he saw on amazon...gonna be a total surprise....Peyton is getting one of those little cheapo digital cameras....Abby a Leapster 2 and Sam is getting a DSi {we told her that none of them were getting anythihg big so she is going to be totally surprised!}

but the best thing I think will be 3 photo books I made my bestes friends of pictures over the last 4-5 years! We are having our little get together tomorrow and I can't wait for them to open it!!!

Totally selfish mom here...I"m excited to give my kids the dual-head DVD player for the car. They get so bored so easily and since we have to drive a 1/2 hour to do pretty much anything, this will DEFINITELY be a life saver.

I can't wait to give L.J. the Indiana Jones hat, whip (with sound effects) and bag. It's not even coming from Santa...I wrapped it up so he wouldn't just play with that as soon as he comes down stairs and forget everything else.

He is going to LOVE it!

I am most excited about my son's gifts this year. I got him some Thomas trains he's been talking about for months and you can't find in the store any more. Also a set of electronic drums. He loves drums.
