I know it's early but....?

Q. we have 4 kids. One 8 yr old girl, a 7 yr old girl, 5 yr old boy, and 3 yr old girl. We start buying Christmas gifts early so it's not an overload financially in December. We are looking for UNIQUE gifts because they have way too many damn toys (not from us, I can promise you that), lots of books, computer games, movies, clothes, etc. What do you get the kids that have everything (it feels like.) We need unique ideas and are really into things they will learn from as well. Most their toys are educational, as well as their computer games, and books. We would like to keep that trend. So.....any suggestions??? Id appreciate them!

A. Give tickets to the zoo, aquarium, museums, places like that. Also, magazine subscriptions are great, depending on what each child likes, get each child their own subscription. Kids love getting mail, and many of the magazines for kids are educational, like National Geographic for Kids, Highlights for Children, etc. When I was a kid I used to get this packet in the mail every month, it would have a book, a craft, and several other activities, like word finds and fact sheets about different things. My Mom subscribed to it for me and it came in my name, which I loved. I don't know if they still have anything like that, but I remember I loved getting my little package every month more than I loved most toys.

what are good ideas for Christmas gifts for my nephews and nieces ?

Q. they are 2 girls - ages 6 and 11, and 1 boy age 8.

I would like to keep the price for each gift low, like $10 or less for each gift.

thank you for your help

A. A book is always good. It is a gift that can keep on giving. The six yr old would probably like "Junie B" books, and the 11 yr. old would like any real chapter books -- try something by Meg Abbott. For the boy - any book that talks about farting, underwear, or other gross boy stuff is always fun.

Another great option - gift cards at their local fast food joint. I buy Burger King cards - then the kids can buy themselves a meal from ordering to paying. It makes them feel older.

What's a good Christmas gift for a 3-year-old boy?

Q. I need to buy a Christmas gift for my 3-year-old nephew. I don't have kids and I'm not up to speed on what kids that age like. I also can't spend much. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks

A. I have an 8 yr old boy and i loved that age! he was soooo easy to please then! You could get him an AQUADOODLE, their about $20 dollars, no mess, no noise! Its a mat you can either hang on a wall or lay out on the floor and it comes with a "marker" but to make the marker work you just fill it with water, so it doesnt have any color and cant stain anything. the top layer of the mat is white and when the child writes on it with the marker the blue backing shows thru until it dries then they can start over. Or you could do the large legos! They love those, just make sure you don't get the small ones because they can be a choking hazard. I think both of these things are great because the build imagination! The aquadoodle is also very educational because it helps them learn to write and has the alphabet and numbers around the frame of the blank center where they draw. I hope these suggestions help!
