Stumped, needing help

My son is 10 months old and I honestly have NO IDEA what to give him for Christmas. Obviously he is not going to remember this year, but still, it's the point. My other two children have about 5 gifts apiece from us, and only 1 gift for Andrew. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want some educational toys, not alot of noise makers. I could get him an outfit/clothes, and I did get him some board books (the waterproof kind, ya know!)

I would like to get something that would be helpful for my next baby to use also. (With 4 kids, you learn to recycle what you can!)

Please, someone help me....

Boxes of Diapers. You both will appreciate the gift

You can get the ball that has holes for different shapes with the blocks that go in them

Wooden Blocks with the alphabet

Magnetic Alphabet letters

Just a few suggestions...

Thanks, Terry, that is actually on my grocery list.

Kimberly, I have the magnetic letters and numbers (LeapFrog) and all my kids love to play with those. I guess I am thinking big, and I need to think smaller so maybe I can give more. I don't know.

start him on a life long collection...my oldest fell in love with COCA COLA music boxes the year he turned 1 and since then has collected everything COKE he can find! He's 14 now and has quite a collection!

Wow. I didn't realize people give little babies Xmas gifts too... Well, this is not my tradition, so I don't really know much. For my baby, I probably won't give her anything until it really means something to her.

Anyway... for your baby, I guess... food and treats!?!? (I know my baby would have appreciated those. She's jumping all over the place if I missed a meal time, and if I ate something delicious.... LOL)

Hmmm, that's an idea, Susan. I love Pooh Bear, and we have quite a collection of Pooh's and Piglet's, etc. with the other kids, maybe I should just keep it up for him too!

Selene, I like to get a small something at least for each child. I don't think they will ever understand what Christmas means until they are much older. (Some ppl never really get it!)
As for the baby in utero, that's an easy one. I treat myself and him/her at the same time! Especially if it is food!!!
