I would also like your opinions!
I know its a little early to start on my Christmas shopping, but that's the way we do it in my family =] I need suggestions for my 17 (almost 18) year old sister. I know you all don't know her, but I thought you might be able to help. I was thinking a nice scarf, hat and glove set for her to wear when she's walking around her college campus. She told me a couple weeks ago she doesn't carry a purse to school because its too much with her backpack and computer case. We wear the same size/style clothes so I could always go that route. She's into sports and hunting, but she's not as big of a tomboy as she used to be. I gave her a bracelet last year that says follow your dreams and has a compass on it so I don't want to do jewlery again. I'm probably over thinking this lol but I already know what I'm getting my other sister (she's 9 and wants a Taylor Swift cd) and both sets of parents. Suggestions please???
Two souls but a single thought; Two hearts that beat as one

Re: I would also like your opinions!
Thats actually a good idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that. She would love one from Gander Mtn I bet.
gift cards are always great- is there a restaurant around campus her and her friends like to go to?
I also like your idea of a hat, scarf and gloves as long as you think she'll wear it, I love those things! And if she is walking alot of campus that would be good.
She goes to a very small private college and as far as I know there aren't any restaurants on campus. Right now she doesn't have a job so maybe a gift card she could use anywhere? That way she could spend it on clothes, food, etc?
I like your idea for the scarf / hat / gloves or a gift card.
As far as parents go, maybe a gift for both of them like a nice gift card to a resteraunt they like so they can go to dinner? Theatre tickets? Book store gift cards? Really depends on what they're into...
I like it!
For both sets of parents I'm going to make a photo book or photo albumn of our wedding pictures and get them a framed large wedding photo.
this is a great idea!
I like the suggestions the other girls gave you. I have one suggestion of what NOT to get.
This is what my older sister got me when I was in my first year of university. A nightshirt (I haven't worn a nightgown or nightshirt since i was 5, they are impossible to sleep in because they ride up and end up in a bunch under my armpits.) It was baby blue. It had ducks on it. It was a size XL (I was a size XS at the time). She bought it at Walmart. Her rational was that she figured I would want something "cute" to wear around my dorm. It remains the worst gift I've ever received.
I gave it to my mom, who loved it.
Wooooww
Jehawley I think my mother had that sleep shirt!!! UGH!!
I agree I like the Visa Gift Card and the Bath n Body works stuff!!! She will be able to use both and get what she needs.
