Christmas Poll #2

Do you enjoying shopping and buying presents for people on your list?

Is there anyone who is always hard to buy for?

Re: Christmas Poll #2

  • I love shopping in general and sometimes I have a hard time remembering that I am looking for someone else, not me. Everyone is always pretty easy, but B's aunt we always struggle with.
  • I love shopping for people.  I especially love shopping for the kids.

    My hardest people to shop for are my in-laws...the parents and siblings. DH isn't much help, so I end up having to wing it and it's really hard since we don't live nearby and I have no clue what they really need/want.

  • I think I'm the easiest to shop for :)

    I have a hard time with my dad and brother and grandmother.  Everyone else is pretty easy.

    DH sucks at coming up with stuff for his family, so that usually falls upon my shoulders which I don't care for.

  • I enjoy online shopping.  Otherwise I hate shopping in general.   I do LOVE buying things for other people though, and I get really excited when I feel like I have a really awesome gift to give! :)

    Both sets of parents are often hard to buy for.  And DH can be hard to buy for too because most things he wants are ridiculously expensive!

  • Yes, I do enjoy finding special things for the people on my list.  It has been even more fun having Davis.

    My husband is very difficult to buy for, mostly because there really isn't anything he needs.  My MIL is extremely hard to buy for because she is over the top picky, she usually just gets a gift card and sometimes even complains about where that is to.  Ugh!!!!

  • I love shopping, its just having the money to do so that is the problem. The girls are getting harder to buy for because they want more expensive stuff but don't know how to take care of anything. My mom is hard to buy for because she is picky. Terry is sometimes hard to buy for unless you are buying something for the xbox.

  • I enjoy shopping for presents for J, everyone else is kind of a PITA to shop for.

    Our parents are always hard to shop for because there is nothing they really need.

     

  • I love shopping but that is when I'm shopping for me or our house.  DH is hard to shop for and MIL is the hardest.  I can never think of anything for her and she never wants anything.  She doesn't have any hobbies, belong to any groups or do much so she is almost impossible.  DH is no help for her either. 
  • I LOVE shopping and LOVE giving gifts.

    I think FIL is the hardest person to buy for on the planet...  EVER.  He always has everything and always buys himself whatever he wants/needs, even up until Christmas Eve, so it always has to be either something super-unique or something super-ordinary...

  • I love shopping period. Usually I drag out the Christmas shopping the whole month of December but this year I just wanted to get it all done and did on Black Friday. All I have to get now is stocking stuffers and a few little odds and ends.

    My Dad and brothers are always the hardest to buy for.

  • I'm really not a fan of shopping in the first place...especially not the large Christmas shopping crowds.  As I only buy for two, it's not too too difficult...but trying to come up with something decent for DH every year besides little things is kinda taxing.  He does not get the concept of not buying for himself shortly before Christmas!

  • I really do like to shop and buy things for everyone!

    Matt's mom is super hard to buy for because she never gives any ideas of what she wants/needs.  She always says "All I want is you with us at Christmas" which is sweet and all but, we're going to buy you something so help us out! :)  My dad is hard but easy at the same time because literally all he has wanted for the past few years is blank VHS tapes.  For real.  We may have him finally talked into DVR, lol.  But I can never fathom getting my dad nothing but VHS tapes.
