Starting to Make Christmas List?

Oh Gosh, time flies so fast and Christmas is coming again! I am excited during this occassion especially when I have kids already. I love wrapping gifts. I love giving gifts and I love it when my kids receiving gifts too! This year I wanted to buy gifts that are affordable yet usable. I will not buy toys this time. I think I'll be buying something that these kids will be able to use. I was thinking of pencil case, or notebooks but I think this will be boring for them. I also wanted bags so they can able to use it everyday. Have you tried stephen joseph quilted backpack anyone? They are personalized kids backpack, I think they will appreciate it than pencil case. How bout for mommies? Any suggestion? I was thinking of pillow case, oh that's not cool. How bout pouch bags? Some girls are not into it so I thought of laundry bag. Mommies need them right? Hmm...this is hard. I think I should make a list first. Anyway, I am not going to buy this month yet coz we have so much expenses.
