I have introduced them to the magic of vinyl records, and both my girls have records they want. My 13-year-old is getting more serious about softball, and she'll be getting a tee and net for batting practice at home. Not sure about my 7-year old yet.

Get them whatever was cool twenty years ago. They'll be ahead when everyone decides to go "retro"

[Howlin' Hanson]

Barbells, so the older one can bulk up and be my roadie. The cab is getting heavy.

For the older kids, 19 and 15, they will probably get clothes and maybe some itunes cards and some video games. There will be other stuff too but I'm not sure what yet?

With my daughter who is 10, I will get her clothes, a case for her cell phone that I just bought her for her birthday, and who knows what else?

For my youngest son who is 8, we will probably get him some video games that he has been wanting, clothes, some toy guns, and other stuff that I am not sure of yet.

For the wife, she has already given me her shopping list. She has told me she needs new pots and pans and a coffee maker so she will get those. She also wants a waffle maker so I'll get her that too. She just got a new iphone so I will also get her an itunes card, a case for her new phone and a charger for the car.

My gifts, I will ask for a case for my new phone because I also got a new iphone, a gift certificate to Bass Central if they sell them or Guitar Center, and who knows what else? I really don't want anything though as that money can be better spent for the kids and wifes Christmas but I know the wife also gets me stuff anyway even though I tell her not too.

My daughter turns 8 just a couple weeks before Christmas, so December is always a double whammy. Getting her a couple new American Girl dolls and and accessories (that stuff is expensive!), Barbie stuff, and a huge amount of books (she's an extremely avid reader and has already inherited my wife's ability to read chapter books at a very fast pace).

[Martin89]

My boy will be 3 months so I am thinking a small egg shaker, my friend has one I use with him when he's over there to shake rhythms. He'll probably have a lot of world percussion stuff the first few years.

[Thor]

Nothing. Not much anyway, we did away with the ever increasing commercial Xmas stuff a few years back when the kids became grownups.

A nice meal and a family celebration.

Maybe my yearly pigrimage to church. Being Icelandic, we'll have to kill a few Druids and rape and pillage a few villages en-route just to get in the holiday spirit.

No kids of my own, but I have 2 nephews, ages 3 & 5. They're getting sleeping bags and a new Nintendo wii (since their old wii is broken). But both of them say they want a bass.

[SoonerMatt]

I have no idea what I'm getting my nephews and nieces, since they're already spoiled rotten and own half of Toys-R-Us between the 3 of them

My wife and I have an assorted collection of vinyl, but no record player, so Im getting her one this year. Im also buying her a hard to find vinyl LP of a band she likes. She owned the CD until it was stolen from my car. CD(used) - $39, Vinyl(New- so it says) - $25. Plus, I can make a CD copy from the vinyl...

Thanks for adding that.... it was definitely still relevant.

Glad we could re visit this.
