Husband has a few more gifts to buy and he'll be done. |
Mom-Gift card to her favorite store, and probably something else. She's hard to shop for.
Dad-Sweater (a nice one that he's been asking for) Sister-a great pair of pearl earrings Niece-Gossip Girl DVD Nephew-some video game I'm not sure about my grandmother, cousin for the gift exchange, and work Secret Santa. |
Just bought my son's stuff via gamestop.com and amazon. I did secure Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour for his Xbox 360, so things are good. He also is getting some video editing software that he wants and that's pretty much the budget for his gifts.
My daughter is getting a new cell phone, a lighted makeup mirror and some books/CDs. I got my dad and his wife a digital picture frame which I plan to load up with pics of the grandkids. My brother wants an Ikea gift certificate. |
My 5 year old wants the now-discontinued Fisher-Price Imagentix Castle.
Toys R Us ran out before I got my paycheck. Amazon.com has it - for close to $200 dollars. I went on ebay, and there were some going for over $100. I then found an auction about to end - I bid $30, AND GOT IT. It arrived today - my Christmas is made! I'm so, so happy! |
I know it's a bit of a cop-out, but iTunes Gift Cards are what the teens in my life want, so that's what they're getting!

[For hostess gifts, I've done the cashmere throws or fresh flowers from a local florist that sells in bulk.[/QUOTE]
Wow! Cashmere throws? When would you like to come to dinner. :-) |
Let's see...
Mom - I only know part of her gift. We watched the enitre series of The Office thus far over the summer, and I saw this little "The Office" calendar. I don't know what else though... Dad - No clue! Brother - Some kind of accessory for his iPhone BF - A body pillow (long story) & beach stuff cause we're going to Puerto Rico two days after Christmas! BFF #1/Roomate - She's the girl who has EVERYTHING! So a gift card to Outback (she's obsessed with the Aussie Cheese Fries, and makes her version of them in our apartment at least once a week... lol) and this cute fruity shot chaser set. BFF #2 - No clue! |
I think I might give my girlfriend some Phi Sigma Sigma jewelry and some nice perfume. I don't really know what else to get her and I figure you can't really go wrong with jewelry.
|
My presence is gift enough. :D

Limited edition/collectable UK maker's mark bottle (2007 edition)

Quote:
Nice try. My dad is getting the bottle :) He and husband both collect Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve bottles. |
My parents also told me not to worry too much about Christmas this year as well. I haven't done a lot of shopping yet, so these are mostly ideas:
Dad: Some vintage hi-fi speaker fabric that a local antique shop was able to get for me, plus some padded slipcover things I made to cover his antique radios. Mom: I made her some ornaments, and most likely "Mamma Mia!" on DVD. Kid Sis: A bunch of gag gifts (including a copy of "Yo, Check the Perm!") and maybe something else. I also made her a stocking. Older Sis: I made her a stocking, too. I'll probably get her a few mangas as well. Additional older siblings: Ornaments. Nieces: I'll continue on the My Little Pony collection I've started for them. Nephews: No clue yet. |
My mom & baby sister are getting Vera Bradley bags. Other sister is getting a Primp hoodie in a lamb print. Still searching for a gift for dad, gift card I think.
Husband & I are going to Paris for the Christmas week so that's our gift to each other :) |
