Re: what is santa bringing?
H asked Santa for clothes. Santa is bringing him lots of clothes, but also some ski and fishing gear. Santa considered getting him a Kindle Fire, but then read some pretty bad reviews and decided against it.
My dad likes me to get him clothes too. He considers himself clueless about how to dress (not the case, at least most of the time) and thinks I have better taste in stuff for him than anyone else does. That goes over really well with my mom
Little brother is also getting clothes this year. He has no clue how to dress, but he's nearing the end of college and needs dressy clothes for internships and whatnot.
Not sure yet what Santa is getting for FIL. He loves to eat, to Santa may just send him some really good local chocolates, a block of smoked salmon, some cougar gold cheese, and homemade baked goods, or something like that. H may come up with a better idea for him but the clock's ticking and we need to get their gifts shipped.

H - hammer time tshirt, another inside joke present and a scrabble mug (it's a big letter "B" for his first name with a little number so it looks like a scrabble piece, I'm getting him and my dad each one because they play online together). It doesn't look like a lot, but we took that trip in July so we promised to keep the gifts low key.
Dad - scrabble mug with his first initial, framed archive photo of my parent's house, not sure if I'll do something else
FIL - no freaking clue. I think H has a couple things he said can be from us if I can't think of anything, but I feel like I should do something.

Married Bio
I bought DH tickets to see Jeff Ross Roast America at the Neptune Theater. We weren't supposed to be doing gifts.

Seattle Knotties: Please page me if you send me a PM!
We're gifting our parents a wedding photo book (but of course, that's not anywhere near done yet :P). And since we're not actually /giving/ them anything physical, we decided to sort of group Christmas and their birthdays together by giving them a Mickey Mouse doll with an envelope and in the envelope is a family vacation to Disneyworld over their birthday week from all of us kids.
My brother is receiving a high end frame for his diploma from us.
H got a snowboard waxing/fixing up and an advantage pass to Stevens. He already got me my Christmas gift of a Kindle Touch. It's going to be a sad, presentless Christmas day in our house. ;-;
this is AWESOME.

DH: pj pants (we get matching ones every year for christmas), a bathrobe and vintage cake pans to add to his collection (like this:
Others: video games, dremel tool, a framed jewelry christmas tree (see below), beer glasses, a battery powered pepper grinder, gourmet salts
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
sorry, no help. H and I are gifting each other a Hawaii trip after Christmas.
For my dad - I got him flannel lined jeans and a thermal shirt from Eddie Bauer - those Michigan winters get rough. Probably not applicable if you've got family that lives in the PacNW....
We got BIL a Redhook thermal logo tee - he lives in Chicago and likes that kind of stuff from places outside around where he lives..
FIL is probably getting movie gift certificates...
We wanted them to go alone originally since this would be their first real vacation by themselves since their HONEYMOON (I was a honeymoon baby ;-;).
But my brother sneakily asked my mom her opinions on something with Disney and she got all excited telling him about how she and my dad were thinking of doing it, but ultimately nixed it cause my dad loves rides. My mom hates them. My mom loves trying new foods, my dad would rather eat cup ramen in their rented house.
So, we /HAVE/ to go with them cause my brother and sister loves rides (and can spend time with our dad) and I like rides too, but I can spend time with my mom and not care much.
Oh, it's such a bummer, let me tell you.
James is getting clothes, shoes, hopefully that stupid knife, a book, a couple sweatshirts, and some survival/camping stuff (small stocking stuffer type stuff).
My dad is getting a UW Huskies Sweatshirt, a heavy flannel that he mentioned wanting, a small power tool thing he asked for, a photo calendar, and an ornament.
My step-dad is getting a picture of Tillman in his karate gear with a board that he broke in karate framed (he was a big time karate guy in his earlier days), and shared with my mom, he will be getting a photo calendar, a knife block set, and a peeler (their kitchen stuff is in bad shape).
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
H:
-Surround sound system
-Blue Rays
-Video Games
BIL:
- Star Wars head phones
- Ice cube trays of chess pieces to play melting chess!
- Star trek flask and water bottle
FIL:
-Grow your own hops kit for beer making
- Starfleet survival guide
yeah... our family... we're all super nerds.
I LOVE Thinkgeek.com
H and I have a $150 spending budget for each other, that includes from Santa. For his stocking:
We don't do stocking stuff for any other males in our family (unless they're AT our house for Christmas morning like some were last year).
