Mother: U of Miami sweatshirt (she kept complaining that she doesn't have anything from UM) & a homemade CD of all my old violin performances & dance performances from the past 17 years.

Brother: a Notre Dame hockey jersey (what a find, the only one of its kind in Sports Authority a few days ago!!)

Grandmother: a scrapbook (it came out so great!)

aunt: a beautiful scarf (I regret not picking one up for myself)

not too original, but it's hard to be when you're on a tight college student budget. lol

Happy holidays!!

I got a lot of gifts but didn't spend a whole lot, which I guess is good:

Mom - hummingbird plate stakes I found at a church baazar along with two new ornaments, one lighthouse one and one "red hat society" one. Also took her to the Clay Aiken Christmas concert last month.

Dad - "Five People you meet in Heaven" and I think we are all pitching in for Surround Sound/New DVD player

Brother - The first 100 Strong Bad emails on DVD

New BF - Arrested Development Season 1 on DVD

New BF's roomies - See "Brother"

Secret Santa/BF's Brother's GF - PJ pants from Old Navy

Clubbing Girlies/Sisters - One got a Partylite holder, one got an Ulta Gift Certificate, ornament and lip gloss and the other got a The Cheat messenger bag

Supervisor - Starbucks gift pack thingy

White Elephant gift for Church - Worst Case Scenario calendar 2005

NorCal coordinator for the volunteer project - BAF fleece blanket

Best Friend from home - partylite holder

Misc buddies - There was a Cost Plus GC in there, some more votive holders and candles, and the Homestarrunner Figurene pack in there.

[XOMichelle]

Mom- Sweat Pea shirt that will look fabulous on her. Also I might put together a little packet of beauty products and send it to her.

Dad- "The Warrior Elite" by... oh I forget. But it’s a book about Navy Seals. And, if my sister and I can swing it a 2 tank scuba dive in the keys.

Sister- Books and a New Year's Eve trip to Atlanta.

Roommate: Dishes for when I leave since I own them all.

Close Friend #1: A mirror for her condo and a day at the spa for her birthday.

Close Friend #2: a day at the spa when we were in Vegas

Grandma: sea salt scrub, nice hand cream and moisturizing gloves

Aunt: yellow cashmere gloves from the Banana Republic

And I still really need something for my bosses, and my live-in house guest who recently moved out. I think I am going to do candle or christmas-inspired things for my bosses. I might get something little for my neighbor too, since her and her husband gave us half their old furniture this year.

What can you get a Wookie for Christmas when he already owns a comb?

[Schmeer]

Mom = pilates clothes

Dad = golf stuff - can't go wrong

Brother = Brooks Brothers jacket and a chipotle gift certificate because he eats those burritos everyday

Niece = bedbuggs, cute little plushie toys

Boy Friend (that's really a friend) = DVD

Ex Boyfriend (that really was my BF) = nothing

Friend = subscription to US Weekly - she loves that gossip!

Me?? All I want for Christmas is world peace, lasik, and a digital camera.

I was told to go cheap this Christmas, which is fine by me: in the next 2 months I go to Cabo Alpha and then to New Orleans for Mardi Gras- so my money is elsewhere, besides looking at another $700 semester for books for classes.
So:

Mom: a wooden carving of a raccoon holding a little feeder over his head that says 'feed the animals' to go near their porch for squirrels and such.

Dad: Bag of corn for the feeder.

Oldest Sister (the Old Maid): Sugar Cookies in a Jar, along with a kitchen towel that has the recipe on it, and a butterfly cookie cutter.

Middle Sister (the Military Wife): various loose tea mixes and a steeping set. Along with a certificate for her and her husband to steal me for labor for a home improvement project weekend.

Brother In-Law (the Captain): Got him a joystick that has 5 video games in it, can be hooked up to any TV and played. Since he's over-seas that is headed to him and I'm not mentioning it to the family.

Youngest Sister (the Little Sister) and the Brother In-Law (Mikey): Gift Card to Lowe's, certificates to steal me for labor for 4 different home improvement weekends.

Nephew (the Little Monster): Not sure yet. Originally I was going to make Christmas stockings for him, my sister and her husband, but now I think I'll be buying him a book or 2. One a children's book of bedtime stories or something. The other set at a 4th grade reading level so he has to "grow into it".

Me (myself and I): I'm going to Cabo and then right after my birthday is Mardi Gras in New Orleans- so I guess my presents to myself this year are airfare and drinking money.

The Animals (the aminals): Found pet stockings filled with little toys for my cat and the Old Maid's cat. Found a heavy-duty toy for the Middle Sister's monster-dog.
