What are you buying your family/parents for Christmas?
My mom is getting Ugg house shoes and a pajama set. My dad got a Dewalt radio and a couple of fish fry batters to try out. We may get them some steaks or ribs as well.
I have NO idea what to get H's dad...he's impossible and he's also never around. I'm thinking no gift at this point...
H's mom got some leggings from Dillards and a Dillard's gift card. That's where she does all of her shopping and she specifically told me she wanted the leggings. (Hue corduroy leggings in espresso...they look hideous but maybe she's cute in them...sigh)
What are you getting the 'rents/other family members?
Re: What are you buying your family/parents for Christmas?
I got my mom a cute velour pant set from NY&Co.I will also probably get her a new can opener because her's is one of those really old metal ones and it was killing my hand during Thanksgiving.
My dad loves TX history so I got him a book about my hometown with lots of old pictures in it and the Lonesome Dove DVD.
MIL- we got her a digital frame for her desk and DH is supposed to be getting his dad's present. I don't know what it is yet.
My dad is getting a western shirt and a really nice brown vest.
My mom is getting pajamas that she told me she wanted. She also wants a coat but I haven't been able to find one she will like. If I don't find one I'm nost sure what else to get her.
H's mom is getting a cd that she wanted. We are also going to pay for her, H and BIL to have pictures done. They tried to make an appointment a few weeks ago but it failed. We are giving her a pretty picture frame with a note in it that says something about the pictures. (I'm still working on putting it together)
H's stepmom is getting numerous things from Bath and Body works.
H's dad is also my toughest family member. MIL said he wanted a fleece shirt/pullover. I'm not sure what else we will get him though.
H's siblings are all married. I am making a personalized wall decoration for each couple. I put something together in photoshop and am going to frame it.
My brother is getting a tool bag and a gift card to Lowe's.
My mom is probably getting season one of Glee on DVD.
Dad is getting this hover thingy you control with your iPhone from Brookstone.
NO freaking clue on H's parents. I really need to figure that out.

My dad...no clue. I'm not even sure my mom knows what to get him. His Christmas box is being sent this week, but I may just wait until he gets home for R&R and take him shopping. He never even told me what he wanted. Sigh.
We don't get gifts for my MIL and SIL. Shoot, we barely communicate with them. But, since SIL will be in town for Christmas this year, H and I are talking about what we should get her. Blah.
My mom is getting a pair of cute plaid weather-proof boots.
Dad is getting some shirts and a new pair of jeans (probably not what he wanted, but that's what my mom said he needed. haha)
My little sister is getting a bunch of baking stuff- that silicone giant cupcake mold, a professional quality icing decorating system, and a glass baking dish.
My MIL is getting a print of mine of an amish farm blown up with a really thick matte and antique-looking wood frame for her bedroom... Because she didn't tell me anything to get her. lol

I got my mom this cookbook stand. I also got her a CD of piano Christmas music that we always listened to while putting up holiday decorations on LP when I was a kid.
Sis got Echo in the Bone (Outlander series book), and some bath and body works stuff in Sensual Amber. I also have a $5 gift card to Sbux that I don't want and will pass the savings along! Oh, and a fleece blanket that I found like two months ago. When her place was burglarized, they took her blankets to hide the loot and she needs new ones.
H's mom...gosh, I don't know. FIL is getting the HBO series The Pacific on Blu Ray (we might get this for ourselves as well).
We still have to get stuff for a few people but I'm doing pretty good!
I *really* want some of those (seeing how I will be living in yoga pants for weeks I'm sure) but they are so unjustifiably (sp?) expensive for me to ask anyone for (my mom would buy them for me but she bought me a new rug for the living room).
