  • Of course they won't remember. It is hard for you.

    You might make some things or try to think of things they would like that you can make or cost little. My toddler grandson loves bamboo salad forks I got at Walgreens for a quarter on clearance. He walks around with them and wants you to sword fight and he hits things to hear the sound it makes. Another of my grandson's favorite toys is a cheap plastic ball about 12 inches in diameter. Toddlers also like beach balls. I can get a lot of things for a toddler with $10.

  • The dollar store has worked wonders for us a couple years in a row.

  • I feel the same way, its my baby's 1st Christmas too. We decided to get a few inexpensive toys, instead of just one big one that he may get bored with quickly.

  • At their young age I don't think they will care. It's harder when they are older. I would stay away from dollar store stuff, it is cheaply made and full of lead, a lot of it is so easily broken and unsafe for babies. Do what you can and "spoil" them with love.

  • Not only is it ok, but I think it's good for them. Christmas isn't all about presents. It wasn't 'til I was in high school that I realized HOW MUCH I had to be thankful for that I had a loving family to be with during the holidays.
