i bought jake some oshkosh clothes today from an outlet store.....two pairs of overalls and one t-shirt for $40!!! I'm so stocked. i'm also pretty sure the shop clerk made a mistake, but i didn't want to embarress her by letting her know.....out of the goodness of my heart.
i figure this year io can give jake clothes without him saying "yukky". so may as well make the most out of it.
we got jake a light thingy which shines pictures on the roof and plays music. He always liked it, but now he loves it. Leis found him in the bedroom, playing it by himself, and when he's sleepy, he'll actually try to climb into his cot and turn it on.
something like that, that will grow with babies i think is always good.]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2005 02:43:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=15459&title=christmas#15459 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=15455&title=christmas#15455 Author: Tastic

lol Emma, we are little people mad... got the zoo, zoo train, construction vehicles, school bus, busy town, race car, play mat, parading pals, few sets of xtra people, and for xmas she's got the gift set with minivan, tea party and trike, and the playground set..... as i said... i think i'm a bit obsessed... but hey, she spends hours playing with them, sets them all up round the lounge and loves them. And well, Ayja will get heaps of use outta them, and they get GREAT resale on trademe....

I tend to follow what paris likes and buy accordingly.]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2005 21:10:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=14748&title=christmas#14748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=14737&title=christmas#14737 Author: Maya

Yep, and I agree with Janine about the Little People - Maya got some for her first and second xmases, and this Xmas I bought her the Little People Castle coz she still spends hours playing with them.
We always had the same 'stocking fillers' as kids - a book, a CD,a towel, some lollies, a piece of fruit (which amused my brothers no end lol) and some soap/bubblebath/gift set type thingie. Then we would get 1 'big' (ie. expensive) pressie from Santa, and one from Mum and Dad.

I've done the same with Maya the last two years (Hi5 Cd's lol) and will again this year. She loves that she has her own special 'towels'. Last xmas was great coz she was just starting to get into it, and she ran around telling everyone that Santa was bringing her a 'bubba' (Cabbage Patch doll) so this xmas will be even more fun!]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2005 16:57:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=14737&title=christmas#14737 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=14729&title=christmas#14729 Author: Xander&Harmony

Have decided to buy Jake a pool for xmas but want a few odds and ends from "santa' and such. He'll be just over a year. Any ideas about suitable presents? What did your kids like as toys??]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2005 12:34:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=918&PID=14692&title=christmas#14692
