I have one good idea in mind for my kids this year. A swivel car: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081RVIK0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AOFIBMXVIVCJ6
I think they will both love it, although Cooper is probably still a little young for it, but I am still getting him one so they will both have one and won't have to fight over it like they do everything else. This is going to be their "big" present for Christmas.
I don't go too crazy on presents. I try to pick out a few things I know they will really enjoy. If there is something Devin had been talking about for months, I would certainly try to incorporate that into Christmas, but so far, she doesn't get obsessed on one item yet. I am sure it is coming any day though now. I always try to go quality, and something I know will provide months of enjoyment over tons of little things that will just take up space and never get played with.
My SD who is now 16 started to feel dissapointed on Christmas at one point. And at that point, I talked to her about it. I asked her if there was one thing she really wanted. I told her the budget for what I was willing to spend on something and then she got that one thing and a pair of pajamas, maybe a necklace, and a little cash for me to take her shopping. But that started at more like 12 or 13.
