Stewarts wish lists

Ditto to what Cheryl said. The kids are very pampered; the adults are content and happy with a phone call for Christmas. If you want or need some gift ideas, though, here you go. Feel free to skip the overpriced wrapping from online stores — I'd be happy to wrap for you. Also, we have an Amazon Prime membership with free two-day shipping on most items; message me if you want me to order something through our membership to save shipping costs.

The boys have been poring over toy catalogs and have an extensive wish list at Amazon: Gift Ideas for the Boys. (It's top-loaded with Lego sets they desire, but there's more variety further down). They share a love for Ninjago/ninjas (Finn is having a ninja birthday party) and Star Wars; Calvin is a big Harry Potter fan; and Finn is very into Toy Story and superheroes.

They like shopping at Target and Michaels, if you're interested in gift cards. They would also love gift certificates for Sky High Sports, an indoor trampoline place, or tickets to our local minigolf and arcade.

They also love building stuff, and their wish list includes marble run, a "chaos tower," and a plank building set. Both are increasingly into crafty projects: They go through a lot of paper and markers, and both enjoy making books.

Calvin

• Robot/physics/science kits: There are a ton on the Amazon wish list.
• Books, including the Narnia series; the Bone series, by Jeff Smith (he has books 1 and 2, and is eager to keep reading); the Little Vampire series (he borrowed the first, Little Vampire Goes to School, from the library and loved it); and crafty/project/inventing/mischief-making books
•  Games: He's asked for Bananagrams and a Scrabble-style math game, among others
• telescope
• He's expressed interest in collecting matryoshka, so there are a few in his wish list

Finn

• a gazillion Ninjago Lego sets, in the Amazon list
• books — he really enjoys good picture books. There are a few ninja titles in the wish list.
• Legos.
• Toy Story dolls (he has Woody and Buzz)
• Still more Legos.
• Jedi robe
• And he'd really like some Legos.

Doug

• shirts: He likes Charles Tyrwhitt for work shirts.
• Shoot me a note if you want to go in on something with me — I just picked something up I know he'll like!
• AMC movie gift card
• Amazon gift card — for when he finally thinks of something else he'd like
• and he has an Amazon wish list too

Darienne

• a visit!
• pastry rolling mat: I got a Magic Dough mat because it was cheap, and it began cracking after two uses. Love the idea, but need an upgrade! 
• big dough container with straight sides and measurement marks, such as an 8-cup measuring cup
• microplane fine grater 
• books: I have a few titles in my Amazon list, but I love recommendations (and secondhand books you've already read and enjoyed)
• earrings 
• ModCloth: I love finding great clothing here. Brave selections welcome, or gift certificates
• magnetic measuring cup set: I have two plastic sets, and both are missing the ¼ cup. The magnetic stacking sets look very convenient.
• Gift cards for Amazon, Target, and iTunes 
• a few more in my Amazon wish list
