Specifically on children. We have two daughters (3 & 4 years old). I asked my husband, who is extremely frugal, and he said like $300 total. That doesn't seem like much to me. I budgeted, and figured we could afford around $800 total, or $400 per child. I don't want to be cheap with Christmas, but I don't want to overspend. I know this boils down to personal preference, but what does the average couple spend on Christmas per child? Thanks!
Also, what are some good gift ideas for kids around this age? I am terrible at buying gifts in general.
Answer
$400 is a really good price to stick with most parents go for $350 or $400. Some great gifts for 3 and 4 year old girls are baby dolls, loving family (fisher price) Anything Fisher price is an amazing toy for kids 3 and 4. Most kids 3 and 4 want a fisher price tent house or a toy kitchen. Also my little pony or my little pet shop and also little tikes is a great brand. Sand/water sets are also great gifts but there mainly for the summer. Picnic sets or those little scooters or also the little cars that run on the big red battery's are nice. Good places to by this stuff is at ToysRus and also Target and Kmart and many other places mainly the mall. If there in love with any one direction or Justin Bieber, (many kids love them even 3 and 4 year olds!) That would also be a wonderful gift for any singer or even a TV show! Hope this helped!

Gift ideas for a 9 months old...?
AIM+e plus
Ok, I know this is probably a pretty repetitive question right now, but I'm stumped.
My daughter will be 9 months when Christmas rolls around and I don't know what some good gift ideas would be. I've gotten some things for her, so I went to the store yesterday and all the toys just suck. She doesn't have a lot of toys so far, just a few things to occupy her, when she'll pay attention to them and for that reason I really don't feel it's necessary to get her a ton of toys she won't play with. Anyone have ideas about what I can get her other than the typical baby toy? We have tons of books for her plus a few more I've bought and wrapped. Any ideas?
Also, I have to add I'm not living near any Babies "R" us at the time, so basically the only stores we have are Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Walgreens...just to let you know....

1. Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Learning Home

If you're looking for a baby toy that will be used for a long time, the Learning Home from Fisher Price's Laugh & Learn toy series is perfect. Baby can sit near the house-shaped toy and put the plastic balls down the rain spout, fit shapes in the door's built-in sorter, put mail in the mailbox and listen to music on the radio. Older babies and toddlers can get into pretend play, especially with friends, as this is a great toy for more than one child to share. We have one of these toys in our play room, and elementary school age kids still play with it!

This bright and colorful circus toy set incorporates learning with playtime for baby. When your baby puts the animals in the top of the circus tent, he or she hears the correct animal sound. When the animal is removed, baby hears the name of the animal. The Big Top Sounds set comes with a plush monkey, lion, seal and elephant. Babies of this age love to watch things hide and reappear, and the circus tent with its flap-front makes a great place for the animals to play peek-a-boo.

Who doesn't want to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat? You and your baby can learn how to do that with Infantino's adorable Baby Magician toy. The soft hat has a plush bunny that hides inside until baby decides to make it appear. The magic wand has flowers at the end and makes a magical sound when baby waves it around. A fish with a teething tail hides inside a soft cup, and magical cards have fun, crinkling textures. You may enjoy playing with this toy as much as your baby does!

A colorful stage is the perfect place to arrange these cool magnetic acrobat toys from Kushies' Zolo line. Baby can see how many ways he or she can stack the five soft fabric acrobats. Three soft magnetic balls can be stacked, too. When it's time to take a nap, the stage becomes part of the zippered storage bag, and the acrobats all fit inside.

Latitude Enfant has created a pretty and engaging version of the popular stacker toy with the soft cat stacker. Lots of vivid colors, interesting textures and patterns and extra adornments make this stacker fun to look at and touch. When baby pushes on the cat's head, it meows. Other pieces of the stacker have rattles, bells, crinkles or squeakers. The lightweight, soft rings are great for younger babies, but durable enough for toddlers, too.

The fourteen plush toy pieces in the Klettinos set can be combined to make all sorts of unique animals. Sure, you could make an elephant or octopus, but babies will love creating silly creatures with a head from one animal and a body from another. The animal pieces are made from cotton and can be spot cleaned or hand washed. The Klettinos set comes in a carrying case so it makes a nice travel toy, too.

It seems like babies are born with some kind of knowledge that piano keys are for banging, so it won't take long for your baby to figure out what to do with this toy. The piano keys light up and make all kinds of sounds, from notes to letters and numbers and full songs. Baby can turn the pages of a song book, and adjust slides and dials to create different sounds. There are plenty of options to hold baby's attention now and probably for a few years with this fun piano.
