Anyone have any favorite holiday gift ideas? It seems I always buy the wrong things. I need some fresh, fun ideas. And what do you buy a baby? Santa has to bring babies presents when they have older siblings who will think they are "loved less" if they don't get something exciting. I struggle with baby toys because it seems like we have a lot already and they are all kind of the same. Tell me your favorite family games, toys, etc.
Here's some of our favorites from years past:
*Storefront Bingo (A simple game that can be played by all ages.)
*Cranium Fort Maker (Snap together pieces that can be made into ANYTHING!)
*Lakeshore Learning Animal Bags (Drawstring bags full of large plastic animals...I think they're being played with right now!)
*Ultimate Potato Head Set (If you know anyone going to Disney World, they have bins of very unusual pieces that you can buy. Kohls also carries little sets of unusual pieces. I like this because we can all do it.)
*GeoTracks Train Set (Even the girls like this one. Remote control trains that are easy to work.)

I'm afraid I'm not much help, given that I seem to be terrible at picking the right toys for my kids. Plus, I don't have boys!
BUT, I've been told by multiple sources that this one is a great one for little boys around 1 year old. Great, as in, they never get tired of it: http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=13031
Also, I noticed an article in Family Fun magazine this month that rated the top toys right now according to age. Don't know how reliable it is, but let me know if you want to see it.
