So, does anyone else have a child that's really hard to buy for? I'm lucky enough to have two! My oldest, and my middle. The youngest is easy, anything Thomas the Train, Toy Story, or Cars related and he's happy. The oldest, wants as many expensive presents as you can possibly buy him. And, it better be computer, music, or game related.
So, this year, with all the fighting they do over the Wii and the XBOX, we bought them each PSP's. Trying to buy games was ridiculous! One only wants fighting games, and the other is hard to pick for. He doesn't like fighting games, doesn't like driving games, and I couldn't find any Hannah Montana, or High School Musical type games for him. Hopefully he likes the ones that were picked out. I also bought them each a hat from RUE 21 because they discovered when we went school shopping this year that they love hats. I got them each an AXE Body spray gift set from Wal-Mart, and the oldest the Michael Jackson/Cirque de Soleil CD because he loves MJ. The middle one got the latest Wimpy Kid book, Cabin Fever.
The youngest got a PSP, 2 games to go along with it, one of Hallmark's interactive reading toys, a Toy Story toothbrush set, and a Toy Story bathtime set. We are also going to get him a bike since his brothers will each get an extra present from their dad, so that he has the same amount. I am so not looking forward to the fight that will start because Jake got one more present! They don't seem to get that he got one extra to make up for getting presents from one less person. But, I digress.
Joey reads this, so I won't tell the last thing I got him....he already got one of his presents, and the joint present is arriving sometime today. I will say that I think he is really going to like this one and I had to buy it when I saw it. Hopefully his mom likes what she is getting too. The parents and the in-law is really hard to buy for!
But, my lunch is about over. Leave me a comment and tell me what you're buying for Christmat! And, if you haven't already, check out my two previous posts for some money-saving ideas!

Thanks for visiting my blog, Stacey! I'm so with you on kids that are hard to buy for. I went to more places than Santa on Christmas Eve looking for the "right" games for my two boys (15, 13) and one girl (8). But their grandmother bought them "practical gifts", so I was determined to get them something fun...that they actually wanted. :p
