So don't get them anything. What's the problem?

I don't have to get them anything, but my mother in law and sister have drawn these 2 kids out of a hat for kriskringle.

Oh... well my heartless sarcasm wasn't really any help them. Sorry.

I know

and if I leave them to their own devices, I know we get crap nobody wants

anyway, I've decided already!

Guinness book of records for the big kid, and a kids digital camera for the little one, who said to me wistfully this afternoon, I wish I had my own camera that I could use any time I like, so I think that is a good thing for him.

Honestly, those are both great gifts. I have fond memories of the Guiness books from when I was a kid. And who doesn't like a camera? Especially now that they don't require film.

I read them too and the Ripley's Believe it or Not books

I want to get him one with more MP than 1.3, which is what the kids camera's seem mostly to have - the thing is he gets a better smile out of his brothers and sometimes they fluke a fantastic shot which would be a shame if not high enough res to make a print out of.

My eldest took this pic of his brother when he was 7 and it's awesome!

oh whoops. too late. those are great gift ideas, so i won't even mention this

I guess they get socks & sweaters, then

i have an idea

yes ...believe it or not

I do

Bunnings have Go-Kart kits...your husband will love that

then you can pait them up...and off they go

except if they just sit there for months and months...and the kids nag...please make them

then it's not a good idea

no better for someone more practical with a surplus of time. Their dad is not home on weekends usually, and if he is he is asleep

That'll learn the them for being the kids of a rock star

Train or race car set. They could build Legos towns around their train or racing set. A racing set maybe way cooler because you have control over it verses watching a train go around a track. Anytype of remote control cars, firetrucks, . . .

Star Wars Tie fighter from the Empire. Darth Varder's personal buggy.

It looks like a model, or actual toy.

I'm out of ideas. Your kids don't know what they want because they have everything.

Well wait, I have an idea buy each a car, your oldest is 10? Six years will fly by fast.

They just don't play with anything else we have given them

Too much pink! It was around when my brother and I were kids and we had no desire whatsoever to buy it.

We were big fans of Mouse Trap.

yeah Candyland is for young young kids.

Mousetrap was great, but I never wanted to play the game I just wanted to set the whole thing off.

I liked this one, too, and there were no parts to break/lose like Mousetrap

That's a beautiful shot.

My daughter has been hounding me for a camera lately, too. She's inheriting my old MacBook -- all refurbished with clean-installed software -- for Christmas. Maybe I'll consider the camera for her birthday... if she's a good girl.

Give the litttle zombies socks. haha

Talking about board games, Junior Monopoly is a good one. My kids love it. I'm getting a bit bored with it now though. I just brought them this for christmas -
