What did you get your DCKS for Christmas this year?

[Soccermom]

I always try to get something that works for all ages and stages because I like the DCKS to all get the same gift (It makes it easier)

This year I got them all a mug that says - My babysitter loves me. I put a package of hot chocolate in it, a little bag of marshmallows that says snowman poop on it and a few mini candy canes.

What did everyone else do for gifts?

That's a cute idea! I got them a christmas book ($1 scholastic book) and a little stuffed animal (purchased last year after christmas on clearance). I also made them a photo book similar to 'Brown bear, brown bear what do you see?" but using their photos and names.

I don't give anything to the kids for Christmas (I do B-Days) and I'm planing on giving the parents some kind of eatable arrangement

[frugalmama4]

Ages: 18mo-4yr (story book with teddy bear Mickey Mouse/Hello Kitty), Pajama set that match the book & teddy and the Veggie tales dvd 9God Loves you very much) my daycare kiddos loves veggie tales!

*I shopped black Friday this year and got good deals, also the family dollar had all their toys by one get on 50% off (so the prayer bears I got for 2.50 each when I brought my own kids gifts.

Ages: newborn-12 (night time teddy bear that says the "Now I lay me down to sleep prayer" pajama set (first x-mas) and first xmas ornament

I love going all out for my kiddos!!

Parents will get a goodie bag of candy and a gift certificate (have it decided free date night or $$$ off tuition yet).

Right now I only have 2 (plus my own 2)

I got one the Leapfrog Letter Factory Phonics and the other the Little People Stable and Animal set.

Dcp are all getting the same thing. Gift card to restaurant. (Gosh I love multipack gift cards!)

Dck are each getting a gift geared towards their interest.

itunes gift card
2 are getting specific books
2 are getting puzzles
Necklace
Instrument of some kind

I think that covers it. Now I just need to get my act together & wrap it all up!

That's a great idea! I have one super sensitive dcm that would take offense. It would have to say I love my mommy. Lol!
I bought the 2 and 3 year Olds all craft stuff like crayons, construction paper, paint, markers and put in a bookbag. Gave the babies under 2 Christmas pjs.

I got DCB and his sister who comes here occasionally but are leaving the 20th small gifts even though I wasn't going to. I got him a Barefoot Books story about a boy with the same name so I thought he'd like that. I got sister a pink fleece ballerina scarf, she does dance so it's fitting for her.
I got the other DCB a Shape-O-Toy from Tupperware. He has some delays and I thought that would be great for his developing skills! I sell Tupperware too so it was an easy choice for him.
Haven't decided on mom gifts. Thinking of a mug with KCups for one mom and I'm not sure on the other yet. She's young and hip... A small Starbucks GC would probably be fitting.

[Sugar Magnolia]

Hugs and smiles and "I love you"'s......free, easy to wrap, always appreciated.

[AnneCordelia]

I got the 15mo craola magic paper and small chubby markers. $6 on sale.
I got the toddler boys little tyke chunky cars. $8 each at 1/2 off.
I got the two preschool girls a 8 pack of Play Dough. $8 each at 1/2 off.
I love shopping sales!

[DaycareMom]

Wow! Great ideas ... and now I feel bad that I didn't do as much...

I got 1 yo dck sippy cup to keep here and all other kids slippers (also to keep here) and coloring book and crayons to bring home.

For the parents I made a photo collage on snapfish and got a frame from the dollar store. I will also give them a candle and some baked goodies!

[Blackcat31]

I gave them a week off of daycare.

Plenty of time to spend with mom and dad.

I'm closing this year at Christmas...so I got a bit more.

All the kids are getting a fleece no sew tie blanket with geared to their interests
Christmas book with an inscription.
VERY small stocking with one chocolate, sticker book and koolaid playdoh/cookie cutter

The parents are getting:
Photobook of their child's time here from me
Depending on what days their kids come, an assortment of handmade ornaments, a Santa cookie plate, and a painted picture frame.

[SilverSabre25]

Birthdays and Christmas it's always the same--I give them books Often brand new, great titles they might not get otherwise. This year it *might* just be from Half Price.

[snbauser]

I borrowed someone idea from here and did a set for each kid. They will either get the "If you give a mouse a cookie..." book and a set of Christmas cookies cutters and bag of sugar cookie mix or they will get "If you give a moose a muffin.." and get a muffin tin and a bag of muffin mix. I have a set of siblings so I did both so they won't get the exact same thing. I might also put some Christmas candy in there or a coloring book but not sure.
