I do not plan on buying tons of gifts, but I still would like to keep track of my ideas, purchases and budget.
UPDATE: items in grey are being put aside for now until our financial situation is more certain.
For my daughter (2yo) - budget: around can$100
- wooden train set (bought and wrapped! 10$ in a garage sale)
- playmobil 123 zoo set (bought and wrapped! 20$ used)
- playmobil 123 forest animal set (bought and wrapped! 19$ on sale on Amazon)
- ikea castle tent (20$) (bought!)
- hand crocheted doll and doll clothes (not done yet. working on it.)
- hand crocheted stegosaurus (done! photo on page 2 of this thread)
other ideas:
- board game (I am thinking maybe Djeco's Little Collaboration or something similar)
- duplo blocks (no particular set, just regular blocks)
for her stocking:
- small books (already have)
- bath bubbles (bought)
- cookies (home made)
- sticker book
- plastic dinosaurs (bought)
- wind up car (bought)
For my OH
When we were out shopping this weekend, we saw a big plastic X-Wing in a liquidation store. I will go back to get it. It will be his birthday present. (Bought and wrapped!)
For Christmas:
A "tropical drink" kit (a bottle of rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, little drink umbrellas, maraschino cherries...)
For his stockings:
back scratcher
candy
coupons (for free video game time, breakfast, etc.)
... I need more ideas!
