What Gifts Are You Giving for Christmas 2008?

My husband and I are looking for the Wii as well I am giving just about everyone gift cards, b/c that is was they want. My people are just too hard to shop for.

My god-daughter (who is 5) really wanted this Hannah Montana storybook with a magical microphone, and I'm excited to give it to her because it was at the top of her list with stars next to it.

For the kids...

American Girl dolls for the nieces (the ones that look just like them). We've been buying them since April since a) they're so freaking expensive (even though we're going half/half with the grandparents) and b) we have 6 nieces;

Leapfrog stuff for my youngest nephew, Ticketmaster gift card for my 14 year old nephew (with the stipulation that he takes his uncle with him).

For the grandparents...

Framed pics of Mikey (who is going to be 1 a week from Saturday! He's a big boy!)

For the siblings...

Restaurant gift cards, with official babysitting service thrown in.

For the husband...

He's getting one big box with lots of little things; I've got a "favorite things" theme going. Right now, there's a couple of DVDs he wanted, a couple of books, a Family Guy dvd trivia game, a couple of puzzle books, a one-egg frying pan, and a couple of other things. It's been fun trying to fill the box.

I don't know why folks wait until now to get a Wii. LOL

I would have thought some people would have gotten it after the last 2 holiday seasons. I told my co workers back in September don't wait til NOW to look because they will be nigh impossible to find. 3 out of 5 followed my advice.

I do have 3 suggestions

1- Call and camp outside of a Target or Walmart very early Sunday mornings. Sometimes they get their shipments then

2. Ebay...I know I know....but hey if you really want it.

3. God forbid - craigslist and the best advice there is to test it first and take someone with you.
