msjorjeTyler and Sasha will both have birthdays next month! So... for reference, here are some of the things that interest them (read: gift ideas)
Tyler is turning 12 and is now very interested in vampire books (including Twilight stuff). She likes goth fashion, though she is not at all dark (emotionally speaking). So black / goth clothing / accessories are a great idea. Vampire books and/or books where the heroine is a young girl are also a big hit. She likes dark books and dark movies. She is always thrilled with gift cards to book stores, though clothing stores would also rock. She also loves Repo! The Genetic Opera right now. She has a twin bed plus trundle at my place and would probably like some updated (age-wise) bedding since her Spongebob set. I think she pretty much loves everything with a preteen target audience.
Sasha will be celebrating her first birthday. With little ones, I stand by my statement that any toy with their age in the age range is great and will be loved. Specifically, though, Sasha loves [board] books with buttons that make noise. I prefer toys with some educational value. I plan to pick out Sasha's first baby doll, probably a truck or other stereotypically boy gift, and probably a change bank of some sort. These are just sort of things that I feel she should have at her first birthday. I felt the same with Tyler and she still loves her first baby doll. Any clothing should definitely be 12 months, at a minimum. She weighs over 22 pounds now. As far as character toys, we prefer Elmo stuff, of course. We prefer nothing terribly large since we just downsized our home, though the Elmo couch and chair are both adorable! A toddler bed would be a great item to have! She doesn't have a bed of her own yet.
Perhaps we'll put together wish lists this weekend...
8/22 EDIT: More here.
