This year, we bought the 2 kids at home new winter snow boots for Christmas early, as they both needed and could use them. As for the GK's, I made them clothes and picked up some Barbie Dolls at the thrift stores and made clothes for the dolls also. I also pick up different things through out the year and store them in a box for gifts. Such as for birthdays and Christmas. Nothing really huge. Since my DH's hours are cut back, my older kids got about $5.00 a piece. Otherwise, if I have the time I usually make a lot of them as I sew, crochet, and knit. I need to make my stash of crafting supplies dwindle down.
And I saved most of my kids toys when they were growing up. I have been going through the 13 or 15 large boxes, so I haven't been doing much shopping for toys.
