S/O Christmas gifts...
any idea what you are getting for others?
Has anyone started shopping yet?
Re: S/O Christmas gifts...
We are going to get my mom a Kindle (can't decide which kind yet though.)
Brynn will be getting a kitchen set and who knows what else 'cause Jeff loves to buy her things.
that's all I know for sure.
Hasn't even crossed my mind.
My dad and brother have birthdays this month (as do I) so October is birthday and Halloween month for me.
I'll check out Black Friday deals and sales and see if anything strikes my fancy. I'm usually a December Christmas shopper (but not a Christmas Eve shopper
).
No Idea. I think JT and I are going to get the camera and call it our gift to each other, that way we can get a nicer one.
I might get my dad a grill pan. I need to start pestering people for ideas. I always get my brother a gift card.
Books read in 2011: 111
Books read in 2012: 100
my read shelf:
Our parents will likely be getting a framed newborn picture, plus other things I haven't thought of yet.
I'm not sure about Tim - he has mentioned wanting a Kindle, but I don't know if he *really* wants one because other times he talks about wanting a new laptop. Usually for him, random things just come to me so we'll see what I come up with.
For siblings, we usually make lists for each other and just pick from those. My sister usually likes books, my BIL usually wants gift cards, and my SIL usually wants clothes or GCs towards manicures/pedicures/massages, etc.
lol, no.
i don't even remember if we got my parents a christmas gift last year. I know we got C's dad a sweater. they'll prob all get a baby photo. and dinner, we're going to have everyone over for christmas day (C's parents will be staying with us). we usually get our siblings something, a sweater for my brother and a random game etc for my SIL.
the only people i buy for otherwise are my 10 yr old twin cousins, and i get token gifts for my cousins kids (5 between them, usually like $10 each).

Not a clue.
I might get Matt a Garmin so he stops using mine. Other than that, we'll just have to see.

This Christmas is all about family so we will be hosting something as that is our gift. If we do get gifts, it will be for the kids.
I have come to realization that it is not all about gifts. Sorry if I sound "uppity" but since our gift was to buy a home, we did.
Not really.
With the move I definitely haven't started shopping yet since it would just be more crap to move.
I have a few ideas for DH, but nothing fun and exciting. I'm sure he'll come up with some stuff he wants.
I actually have started, which is really odd for me. I get each neice/nephew an outfit and toy of some sort. All outfits are done and some toys are started. I am hitting up black Friday this year to finish it off. At their ages anything will do really so might as well find a good deal!
Brother and SIL's will get pictures of Lucas that we are going to have done. We don't really do gifts with them anymore. We keep it about the kids.
My parents we have a couple of small gifts and they will get a picture too. Have to think of something else.
IL's will get a pictures and from there I have no clue.
Lucas...well, the list might get long. haha Look out Black Friday!
I haven't even thought of gifts yet!
Pat and I don't really exchange and we're bad about waiting for holidays/birthdays for big gifts.
I have started the homemade vanilla I'll be giving out and it already smells delicious and is looking pretty dark! Bonus is that at the Crate and Barrell outlet I found super cute bottles for it on the cheap!
