Leighton:

Amazon Wish List

"Just to expand on what we talked about re: my Amazon wish list, anything on there is still fair game but I guess the Quantum Leap DVDs and maybe the Kids in the Hall DVDs could be considered lower priority.

If you want to look at clothes I currently wear 38 x 30 slacks and Large dress shirts (or one of my suit shirts says 17 32/33). I'm less fickle about clothes these days, but I guess I like striped shirts."

Sabine:

Giftcard for Starbucks - I love to treat myself in the morning sometimes.

love this company's goods: (I think they also sell their stuff at Hammer Boutique in LaGrange's West End)

Vosges Chocolates

A friend of mine from college sells jewelry on Etsy... this piece is lovely (actually there is no shortage of things on Etsy I like - jewelry, art, etc.)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=33705713

Also love the little boutique - Vintage Charm - in LaGrange. Always see cute things in there.

Some new pajamas and workout wear would be great! Have seen cute stuff at Target. Also would love a long sweater that ties at the waist to wear with leggings/etc. Have a tan one that I have almost completely worn out. Maybe gray, or turquoise - love muted colors.

 

 

Jackson: (updated 11/30/09)

He can always use clothes and PJs too. 5T will work - or maybe X-small? Not sure if they actually make "5T". 4T fits him fine right now. Underwear!

He still loves Thomas - has been talking for weeks about a new engine - Hiro - the wooden version. Cranky the Crane too.

Still likes Playmobil things and Lego stuff.

Loves jigsaw puzzles and games. I'm going to do some research on Leapster. My friend said her son loves it, but one review said it was a waste of money, so I need to do some homework.

 

 

Audrey: (updated 11/30/09)

Lou and I are thinking about getting her some type of small kitchen set, so maybe some kitchen accessories. Land of Nod has a little toaster set that's cute, and a little mixer with a bowl too. Doesn't have to be their brand - Target or Amazon may have some things like that for less money.

She loves dressing her baby dolls - baby doll clothes/hats would be great. She told me that she'd like a little booster seat for her babies so they can join us for dinner!

She likes Barbie stuff - already has Cinderella Barbie and the Barbie who is skating with her dog, but that's it, so surprise us!

She likes all things Dora, Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty and Elmo. She likes music - loves to dance.

We can always use new pajamas, and clothes certainly. 2T is fine. Leggings are the best for her, because of her little butt! All her jeans fall off of her. Could definitely use some long sleeve tops. Target or Kohls is fine. I think she would also love a little leotard for gymnastics.

A new piggy bank - her other one broke!
