Its really hard to try and think of Christmas gifts sometimes.

Im torn with my small budget of trying to get things they will really like. The younger kids are easier. Some legos and matchbox cars. And they are happy.
But the older boys, they are asking for things like hoverboards, electric scooters, or video game “cash” And then my sister said she got one of her kids an electric scooter. Its beyond my means. If i get one one, i would have to get all of them something like that. At nearly 200 per child, its not a good idea..... Thats like ALL my christmas money. I hope my kids understand why im not spending I mean i know the older guys do. But i hope they dont feel cheated.

For little girl, i have an art set, im buying frozen dollies, some bth balms and other little things for stockings including matchbox cars.

For Lo. I got matchbox cars, a race track ( to share) and a lego set. oh and an art set ( coloring books)

for Ch. He got a replacement phone ( already given ) some matchbox cars, the race track,

For Co. (12) He got headpones, and nothing else so far. Some brain teasers and soap for the stocking. Oh and movie ticket vouchers

B. ( 15) got headphones some art supplies ( new pencils) and hot sauce. Brain teasers and soap for the stocking. and movie ticket vouchers

Ahh i need help. I found some cool puzzles but they are made of balsa wood and im debating… Balsa wood is so fraglie. But check them out.

Anyway, im stumped. My kids are really electronically inclined. And im trying so hard to stay away from buying them came cash. Although i really do want to buy them a switch and some games… But that is 300 for the switch and 80 a game! Eeep. I only have about 200 left! so any cheap ideas that would actually mean something to kids.... Thats the hard part.
