Re: Christmas presents-giving/asking for?
What are you getting for your H? Shooting for prescription Ray-Bans... He REALLY wanted a pair right before the wedding, but there was no way we could have afforded it. Fortunately Lenscrafters is doing a 40% off sale right now, so I'm hoping his prescription is current enough that I won't have to involve him in the process. Keep fingers crossed!!!
Your parents? A family photo shoot for both, and a perfume set for my mom and a book for my dad.
Siblings? My brother- A Southwest gift card and a pocket knife. H's sister- Sephora gift card. H's brother & wife- Lowe's gift card and a framed cute picture of them our photographer took at the wedding.
In-laws? Family photo shoot. MIL- All she asked for was a framed pic of us from the wedding. FIL- A bottle of tequila.
Any other people you buy for? We're making mittens for all of our cousins/ siblings, and mason jar "snow globes" for aunts/ uncles.
What are you asking for this Christmas? I have a huge list (I made a Pinterest board and have been adding to it for a year- Sue me!), but what I really want:
- Coach Legacy leather wristlet
- New phone case
- That Stila eyeliner set that is out for the holidays
- Diamond solitaire necklace
- Robe
H- I got a workbench for all his tools, some movies, a dvd/blueray player, and some tools.
My parents- my mom a necklace and my stepdad a knife set for my dad and stepmom we got an LSU cross and not sure what else yet
Siblings- my brother is getting a box full of hunting and fishing stuff and sil is getting a necklace and a jewelry travel organizer and a gift card H's brother we haven't decided yet but sil is getting a gift card and jewelry organizer
In Laws- FIL is getting a new light for his pool table and stepmom in law is getting some games bath stuff and this stuffed animal that sings and dances
We buy for so many people it gets unreal.
I asked for:
An ipad
Coach purse
Some clothes
A few house items
Gift cards
What are you getting for your H? H is turning 30 on the 21st, so I planned a "surprise" getaway for his - a weekend in Chicago, where we will go see "The Book of Mormon", among other things. Although quotes because the surprise was accidentally ruined by my friend's FI...oh well! That was pretty pricey in itself, so for presents to unwrap I bought him a pair of Batman cufflinks, a Bears light jacket, and a Bears hoodie.
Your parents? Bought my mom a couple of gel nail polishes (they were really expensive, like $35 for 2 of them!). Bought my dad a 3D Blu-ray he asked for, and some chocolate.
Siblings? Bought my brother some beer he asked for. Will probably get him something else too, but he is so hard to buy for I'm not sure what I am getting him yet.
In-laws? Gave my MIL a copy of our wedding album & a DVD of all the photos. Not sure about FIL or H's ex-stepdad. Not sure what to get SIL or our nieces.
Any other people you buy for? My cousins - $25 Best Buy gift card & candy, my littler cousin - a LEGO Star Wars set. And there is always Grandma, who has everything, needs nothing, but will feel miffed if we don't get her something - we'll likely get her a framed print from our wedding.
What are you asking for this Christmas? (top 5 things on your list) Only my mom asked me for an idea this year. I told her I wanted a Bed of Nails. Hopefully I'll get it =] I don't really have a list other than that....
Your parents? I made them a nice wedding book on Picaboo, and then we're giving them some framed prints from the wedding.
Siblings? We're giving my brother and SIL a framed family photo from the wedding. His brothers we're also doing framed family photos.
In-laws? Photo book from the wedding from Picaboo, and then a framed print from the wedding (noticing a trend here!?)
Any other people you buy for? We have 6 nieces and nephews (soon to be 7!) and we got each child something they're interested in- for my niece we got a Princess duplo set (it's Cinderella, complete with carriage), for a nephew a big Hot Wheels track with some extra cars, one niece is getting Tangled along with the Rapunzel doll, etc...
For all of our grandparents, we also did framed wedding prints. All in all, I think we have about 22 people to buy for- yikes! I think next year we aren't going to do gifts for siblings and will instead do a little more for all of their kids. We're both the youngest, and are the only couple without kids.
What are you asking for this Christmas? (top 5 things on your list): I wanted a few clothing items for work (I was very specific- I'm particular about clothes!), I asked H for a new Coach wristlet, some workout clothes, and gift cards from my family. Like I said before, there weren't a lot of things either of us really wanted/needed this year.
What are you getting for your H? I was going to get him a bike, but he told me the other day he may buy one from his friend. So, if not a bike, probably clothes and other little things.
Your parents? I usually buy my dad a bottle of Scotch, stepmom???, mom- probably jewelry, stepadad- I usually buy him clothes
Siblings? We have a gift exchange, and I drew my sister and DH drew BIL. BIL probably a gift card because his own wife couldn't tell me anything he wanted and I'll probably get my sister clothes.
In-laws? MIL????????, FIL I usually buy him a golf shirt. SIL/BIL ???
Any other people you buy for? DH's niece and newphew and one of my nephews (there is an exchange) and I'm not sure yet.
What are you asking for this Christmas? (top 5 things on your list) I don't really need much and nobody has asked me, but if they do, I'll suggest anything from either of our registries (baby or wedding) or maternity clothes.
What are you getting for your H? The first few James Bond books, Captain America and The Avengers on blu-ray and possibly a knife sharpening kit.
Your parents? my dad is getting subscription to a muscle car magazine and my mom is getting a Panera giftcard and a Jane Green book
Siblings? don't know yet =(In-laws? don't know =(Any other people you buy for? toys for nieces and nephews and a new nylabone for my dogWhat are you asking for this Christmas? (top 5 things on your list) - new running tank tops, ipod dock for my desk at work, Ulta giftcard, new running shoes, Phillip Phillips album
