  1. I forgot batteries last Christmas when I bought my nephew a portable karaoke machine – and had to frantically dig up some C batteries when he opened it and wanted to try it out immediately!

  2. I always forget about batteries, I heard new parents say to register for them since so many things require batteries these days

  4. I forgot to buy batteries for my daughter’s dollhouse.

    My daughter would like the Lalaloopsy diaper surprise doll, the Innotab Max from Vtech, and a Frozen Elsa doll.

  5. I have forgotten batteries far too many times. The first time was for a ride on horse for my daughter. This year the kids seem to want musical items the most.

  6. I never forget the batteries! We go through a lot of them in our house so I buy them at Sam’s Club and keep a good reserve of them. We are expecting quite the winter and I always make sure I have lots of them in case of power outages, too.

    I do not know what the kids want for Christmas. It’s going to be a low-key Christmas at our house. Maybe a gift for each of them, but the rest is going to be about doing things together and feeding them great stuff!

  8. We forgot to buy batteries and our flashlight burnt out during a power outage. My son wants Tonka trucks and my baby needs diapers. 🙂

  9. I forgot batteries for the wii remotes. My son was devastated. Thank goodness my parents live close and they are always prepared. My daughter wants an Elsa doll. My son wants some Xbox game that I haven’t found yet

  11. I usually forget batteries every year. It’s always the last thing on my mind. This year my daughter wants Calico Critters.

  13. Yes, I forgot batteries when I gave my niece & nephew gifts a couple of years ago for Christmas. They wanted to play with the new toys, however I didn’t supply the batteries and they had none on hand. I felt really bad.
    At home, I make sure to always have a supply of batteries, especially for kids toys.
    My kids are asking for remote helicopter and car, leap pad tablet, furreal pet and walkie talkies.

  16. I can honestly say I’ve always remembered batteries. Some other things vital to Christmas, like cookies… now I’ve forgotten those.

  18. Yes, I forgot to buy batteries for a bunch of Thomas trackmaster trains that we gave my grandsons last year. They got so upset and had a huge meltdown because they wouldn’t work. I felt horrible! On their list this year is Zoomer the Dino!

  19. Yes, I’ve forgotten batteries but only to find out after the kid has opened the box and wanting to play with it right away. My kids want the zoomer dogs and dinosaurs.

  22. I always forget the batteries, thankfully, my parents know this so they always put the batteries with the gift for the kids! My kids are asking for cars and Minnie Mouse.

  23. I am pretty good at remembering batteries thank goodness! Ny nephew wants Legos and my nieces want Art supplies.

  24. I have forgotten to buy batteries many times, the last being when I bought a talking dinosaur toy for my son.

  25. Yes I have forgotten. I had everything wrapped and forgot to write down what needed batteries and sizes. My kids want all electronics.. tablet and ipods..

  26. I forgot the batteries for my niece’s birthday present this July

    My daughter wants a Little Live Pets Bird Cage Love Birds and my nephew wants a Air Hogs Vectron Wave 2.0

  27. I ALWAYS forget the batteries. Just one reason why I try to avoid gifts that require batteries 😉

  30. I forgot the batteries when buying some elaborate hot wheels set up.. my nephew is looking to get a tablet this year.. he’s only 7.. oh boy.

  33. It seems like every year we forget them! We always say next year we won’t, but it never fails! My kids want tech stuff- tablet, xbox games, etc.

  35. I’m always forgetting batteries for my kids toys. I neglect to read the packages sometimes.

  36. Oh I forgot them one time after we got a remote control boat and went to the lake. We took al our stuff down to the beach and set up for a fun afternoon. Realized…I forgot the batteries. 🙁 We still had a great time, and when we were done, we went to the store and got batteries and went back to the beach to play for awhile with the boat. On his Christmas list this year is the Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch and a garbage truck!

  37. I forget batteries every year it seems. I always wrap with a pen and paper nearby to make a note of what batteries I need and it seems we never have enough. Thankfully we can usually get their favorite toys working for the day and run out to pick up batteries the next day. My two oldest want remote control cars or airplanes

  39. I really try not to forget them anymore. I open the toys up & put the batteries in them before wrapping! My oldest wants some John Deere gear and my youngest wants legos.

  45. I’ve given presents that required batteries but were not included. (Who reads the fine print?) So, the joy in opening the present deflates because they cannot use it right away.

  46. We seem to always forget batteries for something on Christmas morning….never fails! My nephew wants Disney Infinity….the new marvel one!

  47. Yes we have forgotten batteries many of time, and it was not good for us as the parents hearing the kids tell about it over and over, and my kids want a learning tablet, a gaming bundle, and some games.

  48. I’m pretty good about keeping AA and AAA batteries around the house now that I have kids. Some of their toys require Cs or Ds and we don’t usually have those on hand. One time we had just enough for one toy but not enough for the other. They had to share the one toy which you can imagine didn’t go over well!

  50. One year I did forget to buy batteries. So on Christmas morning we were taking out batteries of old toys to use in the new toys.This year the kids want a Kindle Fire

  51. We usually keep a good supply of batteries on hand. Not having batteries on Christmas morning hasn’t happened to us yet. We did have a Little People playset that had a loose connection and we were able to take it apart and figure it out to get it to work.

    My son wants a “red flying car”. He’s three so we think he wants a remote control helicopter or car. My daughter wants Littlest Pet Shop playsets.

  52. I forget the batteries more often than I remember, lol. The big items on my kids wishlist is a American girl doll for my daughter and a 3DS for my son.

  53. I’m pretty good about stocking up on normal batteries like AAA and AA, I just have trouble with those darn fire alarm batteries. They want frozen frozen frozen stuff!

  54. Yes we have forgotten batteries. It seems like we do it alot. My son wants a mickey mouse house and daughter would like baby alive.

  55. I try to keep all sizes on hand at all times as one Christmas we did not have them when the kids were little. It was not good! We ended up running to the gas station. It was expensive

  56. I keep a good stock of batteries at all times! My six yr old wants his own xBox so he doesn’t have to share with his older siblings.

  59. I keep a stock pile of batteries, so I always have some on hand. My son wants some new xbox 360 games.

  62. I bring extra batteries when we visit grandpa’s house for Christmas. He forgot one year and the kids were unhappy.

  69. I’ve forgotten batteries for toys but luckily someone else gave us some for christmas and saved the day. My daughter wants a frozen elsa doll.

  70. I forget batteries on a regular basis. My boys just assume we need to get batteries when they get something that needs them.
