Let's talk Christmas gifts

[HoneySpider]

Anything you've bought that you're really excited to give? Anyone you're struggling to find something for? General thoughts?

I have no idea what to get my mom. I think I'm going to just ask her for a list the same way she asks me.

I got my SIL again when we drew names. She shops at Target every week for anything she could ever need or want so it's super hard.

I ended up getting her a monogrammed cutting board and monogrammed set of hot cocoa mugs from the personalization mall.

I got my sisters these muffin cups so that they can make minion cupcakes they're obsessed with minions.

I really want to get my dad a Jesus toaster, but it's so expensive for a joke. I can't get myself to do it yet.

My mom made a really funny gift request - a bottle of orange Dawn dish soap.

[katespade]

Neither of our families does gifts so the only gift I've bought is for my SS. I'm definitely excited for the last piece to get delivered so I can mail it out!

I'm struggling for my ILs, my stepdad and stepmom. I am making a baby footprint plate for all the grandparents, so my ILs will get that, but individually, I don't know.

He could make a Grilled Cheezus! Anyone here a Glee fan?

I have no idea what to buy anyone!  I literally have one thing purchased, a pair of earrings that my mom picked out for herself on Black Friday.  I need to start asking people.  But than I get annoyed because everyone says they don't know what they want.  Sigh, I love giving gifts if I find something that I know someone will love, but I hate all the pressure of gift giving at Christmas.

[estrellita]

I've only bought stuff for E so far. Oops. Lol. I have ideas but nothing specific yet. I hate shopping...

I've been trying to get my entire immediate family to do Amazon wish lists for this very reason.

I'm done shopping. The only thing I am really excited to give is the nixplay digital photo frame I got my MIL. It's a WiFi frame that we can update from our house by emailing pictures to ut. So we can keep her updated on Cara pictures.

Do you have a link for this? That sounds like something I need to file away for future gift ideas.

I got my nieces (age 8 and 6) and easy bake oven. I'm super excited for them to open it.

I made shutterfly albums the other day for my mom and MIL. I'm excited to see them and know they both will love them. I need to make myself one sometime.

Oh, and I'm excited for my DH to get his computer. He knows about it (he ordered it) but it is still his Christmas present.

I think we are getting my grandma one of these. Seems like such a cool idea.

My grandma lovveeesss her digital frame. She shows everyone who comes to her house.

To all of you still searching for gifts, do any of the people like cooking? I've had good luck buying people gourmet or specialty cooking supplies/spices/oils/vinegars. I package it in a cute basket and since it's consumable it gets used. Not great for non cooks though.

Penzeys has gift boxes on sale for a few more weeks. Olio occasionally has specials in December too.

I'm make a "in case of emergency break glass" with chocolate for my bbf's husband. I then got the big box of Hersey bars from Sam's club to refill it. He's a chocoholic.

We also got MIL a really nice teapot today I hope she will love.

[awick14]

I drew my sister for secret Santa and got her a cute sweatshirt. I am also getting her a cute ornament w the names of her dogs on it.

I only have one gift done. For BFF I got these mason jar measuring cups. She is very southern and likes baking, so I think she will like them. I may have gotten myself a set too

I still have H, both H and my parents, and two siblings on both sides. Plus I'll prob do framed photos or something for my grandparents.

I have NO idea what to get my mom.  I'm tired of getting her sweaters or photo related items of her grandkids.  She deserves so much more and I tend to feel bad when I give her the same things every year.
