I would buy toys for the kids, fleece jackets at Old Navy for the older one's and teens or maybe some gift cards for the older one's.

Just have a few so far-

Dad- prepaid cell phone (because he's one of the 11 people in NY who does not have one!)

3-4
5-6 (girl) The Princess Primer- it's a great book about being a princess- it has pop-ups, and all these other neat hands on things. DH's niece is going to love it.

Re: Post your gift ideas here

I thought a great idea for kids with IPODS (ages 8-14) I guess ... are the IPOD SPEAKERS that are shaped like Fish, Dog, Cat, Flower or Bear. You plug your IPOD in and they light up along with the music. $29.99 at amazon.com

I just bought the FISH one for my goddaughter.

For Children 2-14 The Lillian Vernon Personalized Bath/Beach Towels are awesome ... $19.98 each. I had a 15% code and they were $16.98 each. I bought 5! FREE PERSONALIZATION! http://www.lillianvernon.com
External Image External Image

Also bought Bath Toys for the younger kids ... $12.98 + 15% discount

For the 9 year old, I got the bath towel and bath gel/lotion from Bath & Body works - I think the brand is American Girl in Apple Blossom.

Re: Post your gift ideas here

Well, for the kids I found a couple of cool book ideas.

Puppet Show Books
I See Me books
Just google the words and you can find their sites-- I saw them both on TV shows and think they are wonderful gifts.

For my mom, the gourmand, I got her a GC to Sur La Table and a necklace from a funky jewlery designer.

My step dad just got more pedestrain stuff-- a baseball hat and a sweater.

My dad is getting an ipod shuffle- the new version is so cool that it can be clipped on anywhere-- so I figured he could use for the gym and stuff.

My bro and SIL, I got them a GC to a great little restaurant that DH and I like in the West Village, and we'll also offer to babysit my niece so they can go out. I'll also got my bro a scarf, and SIL a little bracelet.

DH got portable iPOd speakers.

for my niece, I got her the I See Me book and a couple of cute t-shirts.
