Re: Poll: Christmas presents

2. What are you getting DH/BF/SI this year? I believe a video game console
3. What are you getting your Mom? Dad? I give to charity in their names as I do with the other adults in the family. We all have too much stuff, no one needs anything else. Folks in poor countries however do need clean water.
4. If you buy something for CWs, what are you getting this year Good question...DH, mom, dad, my 2 brothers, SIL, BIL, two nephews, three grandmas, one great aunt, about 7 of DH's cousins who are still kids, and we usually "adopt" a needy kid in our community to buy gifts for.
2. What are you getting DH/BF/SI this year?
Not 100% sure yet but thinking about a really nice memory foam topper for our mattress. The good ones are pretty expensive, so I need to look at my budget closely.
3. What are you getting your Mom? Dad?
Mom = I'm working on scanning a bunch of old family photos for her, and I'm going to touch some of them up, make prints, and frame. :-)
Dad = a nice charger for his new phone

3. What are you getting your Mom? Dad? I have no clue.
4. If you buy something for CWs, what are you getting this year? I'm not sure about this either. Last year I bought them a bottle of Patron and some good Margarita mix. (They are huge margarita drinkers)
This year I saw on thinkgeek a starship enterprise pizza cutter. I think it would be funny.
1. Who is on your list? IL's, my family, friends, friends' kids
2. What are you getting DH/BF/SI this year? This year will be small. I'll be getting him a statue he wants off of eBay and a few movies will be set aside for under the tree. I might get him another Apple TV for downstairs too.
3. What are you getting your Mom? Dad? I'm 90% sure we are getting them an HDTV for their birthdays/Christmas. It's a bigger expense than we'd prefer and I'm hoping for some help from one of my brothers, but I'm not counting on it. My dad watches a lot of tv, so I want him to have it. Plus, it's something they would never buy themselves. They've had their current one for ~15 yrs. I'll probably go ahead and get it and take it to them on Thanksgiving.
