As Brad and Ashley get older their Christmas Wish List gets smaller but the items they wish for are more expensive. This year Joey and I are having a difficult time coming up with gift ideas. Here is what the kids would like under the Christmas Tree this year.
Brad's Christmas Wish List
1. A Gibson electric guitar. The cheapest Gibson electric guitar I have found is $425. So maybe Brad won't get a Gibson, maybe he will just get any old electric guitar, like this one. Brad has been playing the acoustic guitar for 3 years off and on. He is pretty good and is getting better each day but is he $500 worth of good, no I don't think so.
2. An XBox 360. Again, another $300 item. We have a perfectly good PlayStation 2 with tons of games so I am thinking the XBox 360 can wait until the PS2 bites technology dust.
3. A Rubik's Cube. Finally, something I can afford. But why do you ask does Brad want a Rubik's cube? I asked the same question, and he said because he wants to solve it and he wants to practice solving it for speed. So Brad will have a Rubik's cube in his stocking.
That's all on Brad's Christmas Wish list, just three things. So what else does an almost 13 year old boy want or need. He has a IPod Nano which he saved money for year to purchase, maybe I can get him an IPod Nano portable docking station. I have no idea how much those cost but it warrants a trip to WalMart to find out. What else do you get a soon-to-be 13 year old boy? Any suggestions?
Ashley's Christmas Wish List
1. Trampoline. Ashley has asked for a trampoline for a couple of years now. We always told her no because we assumed that her doctors would frown on us getting one. However, we have since learned that Ashley can have a trampoline as long as we by the protective netting for the trampoline. The only problem, the trampoline with the netting can cost over $200. Geez, is anything cheap these days.
2. Electric Piano/Keyboard. Why on earth does Ashley want an electric piano? She doesn't even take piano lessons.
3. These boots in brown at the Limited Too. These will more than likely end up under the Christmas tree. But in Florida, how often will she wear them?
4. A blue Ipod Nano. I have decided that if we can't get the Ipod Nano for Ashley this Christmas because we have bought the Trampoline and the Electric Keyboard, that the blue Ipod Nano would make a perfect birthday present.
Ashley being a girl makes shopping for gifts easier because she loves clothes, especially clothes from Limited too. But what else does an almost 11 year girl want for Christmas? Maybe those of you with almost 11 year old girls can help me, because Ashley isn't helping at all.
What do Joey and I want for Christmas...whatever our kids want is what we want. It's a win-win situation. They are happy, we are happy...can't beat that!
