NCEP Holiday Shopping/Gifts

[omgzombies]

I know it's early, but I prefer trying to get a head start on the gift buying, and since the Holiday recipes thread is up, I thought I might put one together for Holiday shopping.

So who do you have to shop for and have you figured out what you're getting them yet? 

[omgzombies]

I should probably post what's on the list right now for us:

H: New headphones,
Brother #1: No idea, he loves Ohio State, so probably something buckeye related
Brother #2: Crepe Maker, he's been learning how to cook recently and seems to enjoy it.
My Mom: A bottle of her favorite perfume
My Dad: Have no idea. Something edible maybe? Currently leaning toward a nice bottle of booze.
Brother #2's girlfriend: A new lens for her camera

Mostly my parents, DH, and Baby H. And we draw names on DH's and my side of the family. DH's birthday is also right around Christmas, so I usually think about his presents together. I bought him a T-shirt that says "world's okayest dad." I think that's going to end up part of his bday present. Maybe from Baby H.

My only conundrum is my mom's Christmas stocking. She does everyone else's and I do hers, but I'm always scrambling at the last second. I think I'll do some artisanal jams and coffee. Any other ideas? She's a foodie, wino, and reader.

No idea what I'm getting H and his bday is coming up, too. I've pretty much got the rest worked out (I only buy for a few people). My 11 year old nephew always stumps me. I think I might have to break down and ask my brother for ideas. I like to get him books, but he isn't always crazy about them. I got him some last year and I don't think he liked them right then...but my brother told me a couple months ago that he was reading them voraciously.

Do you know her taste in wines? A one serving size bottle of wine might be fun to include. 

Eta: and if she likes cheese, gjetost is always a treat.

I have my eye on a superman themed pocket watch on etsy and maybe that beard trimmer MrsA linked for H. The one that has a hair vacuum-like thing. Ok, that might be for me.

Sis1 is getting fancy chia tea and a cutsy wootsy travel mug

That's all I got so far.

I've probably already bought too much for my nieces, not really sure why is getting what.

Optometrist Barbie (because that's MY job)
Optometrist Doc McStuffins
3ft floor puzzle
Melissa & Doug design your own bracelet kit
3D drawing pad
A few books
Some bath toys
Pin art toy (that thing where you press the pins and make a 3D impression of something - they have big one at the museum that they girls love)
Planning to get magnatiles set when i see a good price on one

BIL - might get a DVD of Office Space and a red stapler they sell at thinkgeek

Not sure on other folks

I haven't the slightest idea.

My grandparents - a photo calendar (My grandmother now demands one every year)

For our kids we do fun gifts, but will also do "Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read" for Christmas Eve. So they'll get a fun toy, undies and bath soap, an outfit to wear on Christmas and Christmas jammies, and a book.

DS1 - A karaoke machine, Lego Juniors, leather kid chair, probably some Star Wars figures
DS2 - Walker/rider toy, clothes, leather kid chair
Niece - No clue. She'll be 15 months and just got a ton of toys for her birthday. So I really have no clue.

DH does the shopping for his parents, so that's all up to him.
