Is that in the DC area? Could you share more information about it? TIA!

One set of kids got books and Magnatiles, the other got coloring books and gel pens. No I don't worry they won't like what I get them, I spend a lot of time with them and know what sort of stuff they enjoy

My little charge is only three yrs. old now so basically anything and everything will make her happy as long as it involves a stuffed toy, a learning game and/or a character anything from Frozen or some show she likes to watch on T.V.

One day a week family: I gave my 3yo and 5yo a big puzzle which they love.

Four days a week family: The 2yo got a zoo book and a little zoo animal from the brand that she already has some from. The baby got nothing. The parents got a blown up photo of the kids on canvas.

martial arts weapons, alarm clocks with wall time projectors, a few books and and a few little random things.

I gave my just turned 1 charge step2 push around buggy and Havaianas flip flop.

gave my 5 yrs old charge a book abt Dinosaurs. very thick and colorful.

my 2 mths old charge - white noise machine.

Nothing, the mother doesn't want them to be given gifts by me.

How about you, OP?

What did you give your charges for Christmas? Did you worry they wouldn't like what you gave them and they might complain or not show appreciation?
