What are you giving for Christmas/Hanukkah this year?

I'm semi-stumped on my parents.  Get them a joint gift for the condo or go with separate gifts like treating my mom to a spa day and getting dad some sweaters and something else?

 

Re: What are you giving for Christmas/Hanukkah this year?

  • The only ones I know are my nieces and dh's Goddaughter.Which will be clothes for the most part. I have no clue on anyone else.

    My list however keeps growing. Stick out tongue

  • I just hosted a jewelry party and got presents for our moms from that. I think for our dads we'll do something bourbon/whiskey themed. That seems to be a big hit for both of them. For BIL/GF not sure just yet. I may let Drew take the lead on that one. For Drew, either a weekend in the smoky mountains in Gatlinburg TN at some cabins friends of ours stayed in last year & loved, or a weekend in Kentucky doing the Bourbon Trail. I'm thinking the cabin could be nice for Valentine's Day and maybe saving the Bourbon Trail for summer.

  • I'm getting my mom perfume and an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner.  I got my dad some camo luggage for his hunting trips. 

    That's all I have so far, I need to get it in gear.

  • My sisters, mom, aunt and I are all going to NYC so that will take care of Christmas for all of us.

    I have NO idea what to get Les or his parents....I am a horrible gift-giver :(  No creativity!

  • Ok so for christmas we're giving BIL and SIL's kids an excursion on the cruise next April that is feeding the stingrays, snorkeling and time at the beach.

    I was thinking of putting together an inexpensive goodie bag to go along with us letting them know what they're getting.  I was thinking of a drawstring backpack they could easily carry on the cruise, a thing of sunscreen, probably the spray kind b/c that's easiest and then get each of them a waterproof camera.

    I need to see if that's something they would even want from SIL, but I thought it would be nice to tie into instead of just saying "we're taking you on an excursion!"

  • Mom- sewing items, a sewing box, threads, needles, anything else I can find in that theme.And a lia sophia item

    Dad- no freaking idea

    Avery (niece)- sit and spin and a wonder pets play house

    Sister- lia sophia...just need to decide what piece

    BIL- gift cards

    MIL- not sure yet

    FIL- gift basket of his favorite things, most food items since he hasn't had any real food in over 1.5 months

    We do a pollyanna for Andrew's siblings so I am not sure who we will get this year.

    Aiden (nephew)- Fisher Price little zoomers speedway and pillow pet

    Andrew- most likely a new watch, he lost his.

  • I got small Eiffel Tower ornaments for my parents and grandparents.

    I  still not sure of my mom or stepmom but I am thinking about spa gift cards. No idea about my dad. I will get something for my nieces and nephew. Not sure about the inlaws but we normally all go in on it together with his siblings. Everyone else, I am using what I would spend on gifts that they do not need and donating it to 4 charities. I am making chocolate spoons (for hot chocolate) and giving it to them because I have to give them something. 

    I heart Ben!!
