I think I did OK with gifts this year.
For live-in I got an HD Home Run, which apparently is the best thing to happen to HDTV since the bluray. Or something. I'm just glad I didn't mess it up. I also got him a VERY LARGE coffee mug - more like a coffee bowl!
For his mom, I got a crock pot.
For his dad, I got foodsaver bags (since live-in got his dad a foodsaver).
For his brother, I got a gift card to autozone.
For my dad (and his girlfriend), live-in and I got a gift certificate to the larger chain of theatres in Toronto.
For my niece, I got clothes, mostly, in various sizes. She's only a few months old so she hasn't outgrown any of the doo-dads and whatnots that babies have (besides clothes). My brother and SIL and I agreed not to do gifts between the four of us.
Plus there were the little things - blurays for live-in's mom's fiance', gift cards for his dad's girlfriend and her kids, etc.
I made out like a bandit. My dad sent us British Pounds (because it's a long story), live-in got me Up on bluray, Bedtime Stories on bluray, and the first season of Dollhouse on bluray, as well as a pair of boots and a Bettis jersey. I also got a pair of shoes, two sweaters, various stocking stuffers, and a new set of pots and pans (with copper bottoms, woooo!).
Live in got lots of crazy stuff from his family but it was pretty awesome, actually.
