Each year i have a hard time figuring out what to give my daughter for Christmas. I usually just buy her things that she needs such as under garments, hair supplies, clothes, and her favorite treats. She doesn't really play with toys. She's mainly on her i pad. Are there any neat toys or objects out there that seems to interest your child? Thank you!

My daughter doesn't really play with toys either. Sometimes it seems like a waste of money to even buy things. However, she will line up her dolls and plush toys around her while she plays on her iPad, so we usually just get her things from the cartoons or games she plays. This year she's getting a Poppy doll (Trolls), the Doc McStuffins doll that sings the "wash your hands" song, and Blue and Magenta plush dolls from Blue's Clues. None of these items were expensive and as long as she's happy with how she uses them, we're happy.

I try and buy my son things that are related to his interests and sensory needs. For example, he liked to jump so I bought him a small indoor trampoline. He is 12 now and he only wants his tablet...lol. Maybe you could purchase a service for her iPad, like a gaming service. Hope this helped.

My son is getting a new tablet, and various squishies, soft blanket, back pillow (for zoom lol), a couple fat brain toys, and a new star light I found he loves to see the stars on the ceiling

Daughter her first phone 😳, magnetic beads, soft blanket, some clothes, back pillow for her virtual school, a lava lamp, and a robotic bug (she loves bugs 😁)

If your child is a sensory seeker Fat Brain makes great stuff also Fun and Function and you can actually find a lot of great squishies and slime at five below...Jelly Cat makes extremely soft stuffed animals (very pricy though I probably won't buy them again for a long long time since I lost my discount lol) but any department store you got ur soft blankets, slippers, and socks that my kids LOVE

Happy shopping....or should I say happy budget shopping this year 😳 lol
