Ni Hao Y'all: whew.

To recap, I've been collecting Christmas ideas from you guys. If you're curious, see this post and this post. And this post.

In addition to being the official 'keeper of the list', I'm giving away five $25 Amazon gift cards.... one in each category to the very best idea thrown at me.

I'll be selecting the winners sometime in early December, so you've still got plenty of time to get entered. It's fun, free and you've got a shot at winning something. So why not?

Here's the updated list. Note that all the new additions are in bold. For your convenience.

'Cuz I love ya.

Toddler (1.5 - 3 years) ideas:

Elementary (4 - 7 years) ideas:

Youth (8 - 12 years) ideas:

Young Adult (13 - 20 years) ideas:

Adult (hopefully self-explanatory) ideas:

*******************************************************

Here is our Mr. Linky, making his appearance again, so you guys can keep on adding to the ~~chaos~~ ~~craziness~~ list, at your leisure. I'll compose a weekly update of all your great ideas, so if you don't see your idea listed now, no worries, you will soon.

I'll choose a winner in each category sometime in early December... you know, when you really should be done Christmas shopping.

So until then, keep the ideas coming!

P.S. Don't forget that when you shop at Amazon.com to go through the Love Without Boundaries Amazon icon at the bottom of their homepage, or through this link at New Day Foster Home. That way LWB or New Day Foster Home receives a small portion of the proceeds of your purchase!

Allison said...: This Parents Animal Hospital is the bomb for the toddler set. I gave it to a 2 year old on Saturday and there were multiple fights over it. Two thumbs up.

Shelly and Family said...: Hi Stefanie. Since we are headed out of town this coming week for Thanksgiving, I just wanted to let you know that I have my post for Snap Shot Sunday all ready and waiting to post (on Sunday). This time it is all about our second daughter...Annabelle. Hope you & your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll be seeing you again very soon...; 24/11/09 9:13 PM
Desiree' said...: Had to add one more for the kiddos...If you can find them (got mine in ebay) the zhu zhu hamsters are awesome. All my kids love them!! And like I said if you can find them they areonly $8.00!!; 24/11/09 11:05 PM
Martha said...: As an alternative to gifts that we keep, here's another option--gifts to giveaway! I've used the World Vision catalog before and it's pretty amazing and a blessing to explain the gift. Goats, chickens, ducks, water wells.....the gift goes on and on. I think these gifts work for all ages but maybe beginning with the 4-7 year-old range. Happy Thanksgiving!

Lost and Found said...: I have a new one. The Bugsby Reading system. I was looking at the TAG but thought it looked dull. I want to read to my girl, not have a pen do it. However I saw the Bugsby in action at Target and fell in love. It's for ages 3-7 unlike the other so you don't ever need to buy another system. It reads the story but also asks questions on each page. It's got great reviews on the vtech site and for $25 is affordable, yet educational. Unlike the other you don't need to d/l anything off the computer either as each book has it's own chip. I can't wait for my girl to open this.; 25/11/09 9:18 AM
Rachel said...: I bought chinese yo-yo's for both my girls,ages 3 & 8. We went to a Chinese festival over the summer and they were fascinated w/the yo yo performers!; 25/11/09 11:04 AM
mom2three said...: I'll add one. For older kids we bought Antworks ant farm for Christmas last year and we ALL have enjoyed it. The ants tunnel through NASA developed gel (which feeds and waters them too) and allows us to see their creations. The gel is illuminated and is so intriguing.

her other offerings are pretty darn stellar too; after all, what woman doesn't like personalized jewelry?!?; 30/11/09 2:12 PM
