Help me shop
I know some people hate this but I'm throwing it out there in case someone's bored. And for those who are done shopping!
Co-worker secret santa: 60 year old male, does all the cooking in his house (him and wife), lives in fairly busy city/town, drinks coffee (mcdonald's every morning), always carries cash (-drew his name 2 years ago and gave him a money clip),
Step sister-in-law: 31, has EVERYTHING, family is wealthy (horse family), wears designer everything. Has a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
Any ideas? I also don't know what to get the kids but I've got a better chance at just picking something for them.
Re: Help me shop
Is coworker a wine drinker?
A nice scarf for SIL?
Hmm, coffee press might be a good idea.
Not sure about wine. Another co-worker just said she knows he drinks hard liquor (she obviously knows I have him and not her in the drawing!). Maybe I could get him some glasses, what are they called, high balls or something?
Hmm, scarf...maybe something cashmere...I wonder if I can afford that...
Co-worker: go for some higher end spices, maybe penzey's if you can order in time. Or check William Sonoma.
SIL-Since she has 2 kids, what about jewelry to signify them? Maybe a stamped necklace with birthstone charms from etsy or I just saw this site on one of my blogs and I think the rings would be decently priced, but are handmade, you could do one for each of the kids in their birthstone: http://www.olivebungalow.com/
Wives Unscripted
It's pretty convenient, boil water, pour and press. My sister's husband loooves using it for guests, it's actually kind of funny how giddy he gets over it.
Ooh, good ideas.
I like the idea of something handmade/sentimental for her b/c then how could she really complain, ya know?
I should point out the limit for Coworker is $25 and the SIL is $75.
SIL- Why not silver/pewter christmas ornaments that she can put her kids christmas pics in. My mom has some and loves seeing our baby pics on the tree.
do you knowk what kind of food he likes to eat / cook? You could get a magazine subscription, or cookbook -- depending on whether he likes to try new things and where he gets his recipes (Cook's Illustrated is an awesome magazine I'd read if I had the time to
read 
cook).
As for the Step SIL who has everything -- a GC to her favorite spa is still a fun thing to be able to use. Or to her favorite restaurant.
