My husband stands in line at Liquor Barn for those each year. He usually buys 4. He keeps one for himself and gives the rest as gifts.

How about this? We have to be in KY to deal with more of Mom's estate stuff after Christmas, so DH said I could get tickets to the Central Michigan game! Merry Christmas to me!!! Looks like it will be my youngest son's first trip to Lexington and Rupp as well!!!!
With the exception of a few gift cards and a lot of stocking type gifts, I just finished the bulk of our shopping tonight. Although it's a lot easier to shop now that they boys are older, I really do miss the days of Santa Claus.

2 nieces and 1 nephew - Webkinz. Got them this summer on clearance.
2 kitties and a pug.
1 nephew - A baseball which clocks your pitching speed.
1 nephew - the new one - a Pottery Barn personalized frame with spaces for a picture for each month. Yes, it's more for the parents, but he's 2 months old. ALSO - my Pottery Barn hammock was recalled, so I was able to pay for it with the card I received in compensation.
1 nephew - need to get him a GameStop gift certificate - he's autistic, and games are pretty much all he does. I can't afford a whole game, so hope he will like this.
Gypsyboots - I'm not telling in case she checks!
Gypsy's sister - got her an i-pod this summer with the understanding that it was her Xmas gift.
Boys - 5 - 7 - a dear friend is buying them bicycles. Thank God - they will have a gift from Santa under the tree! The aforementioned castle for one of them, and a Peter Pan ship I got over a year ago for the other.
Husband - he gets to stay married to me. What could top that??

This is what we were given as a suggestion to get my step nephew who has Aspergers. My sister in law said he would like it because it is like his own credit card.

Hey, it was worth a try.
By the way, I did not know that Woodford Reserve did collectors bottles until you posted it. Thanks for the info. I will now add Woodford Reserve collector bottles to my "wish list".
And just to be clear, I am happy to receive a non collectors bottle of either Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve any ole time of the year.

So does my dad! He also prefers to receive Jack Daniel's Green label anytime of the year and hubby likes Four Roses any time of the year. I should check into seeing if they make collectable bottles...

We're getting our younger kids something that our older kids loved. We're ordering personalized books (these came off of the Disney site but you can google lots of firms that make them)...you know, the kind where you send in the name of the child, his birthdate, 3 of his friends' names, etc., and they put them in the story.
