We actually did good this year, everything is getting plenty of play and there were no real duds.
DS6- marble run, dominoes, and Loot card game (pirates, strategy and a game Mom and Dad actually want to play- what's not to like?, lol)
DS4- dinosaur play set and African animal play set. That was pretty much all he asked for and even though we got him other stuff, those have been the most played with things! He has been asking lots of interesting questions and we've been researching the real animals like crazy. I absolutely adore his quickly disappearing "baby-lisp" voice saying 'Pachycephalosaurus', lol.
DD2- toy kitchen and food (she's been cooking us breakfast lunch and dinner for 2 weeks now!) and she was inspired to potty train within a week after Christmas, thanks to a gift of Tinkerbell underwear and jellybean bribes.
