What're you buying your loved ones for xmas?

[discordiatookie]

Just wondering! Here's what i've got my immediate family:

Karen, fiancee : Hugo Boss deep red perfume, i-dog, Closer on DVD, Disney's Belle jewellery box and Disney Princess calendar. Oh, and a Ninja Turtles t-shirt from hot topic.

Mam : Paul Weller best of cd and a pair of slippers

Doug, step-dad : Deal or no Deal boardgame

Lois, sister : Friends 'Scene It' boardgame

Steve, sister's fiance : Superman Returns DVD

that's everyone who i'm spending xmas day with, so they're the most important!

[Kid Icarus]

Mom - Decorations for her nail salon. Her theme is Paris, so I got her some rusted sconces and a rusted metal Eiffel Tower.

Sister - I always get her bath stuff, because I've got no clue what she ever wants. $25 in Bath and Bodyworks, and she's good to go.

Oldest Niece - I wanted to get her a DS Lite, but after picking up my Wii there's not enough money for that... So the back up plan was cash. I found a cheap guitar shaped purse that's going to have $10 inside.

Nephew - Remote control car? Psh, I can do better then that! Try a remote control tarantula! Not only does it look cool, and do the same thing, but he'll be scaring the bejesus out of his mom on a daily basis :D.

Youngest Niece - She's not even two... I picked out a cool wood block puzzle for her. Shapes and colors. Of course, she won't be able to put the parts in the frame, but she'll have fun hitting them together for now.

Friends and roommates shopping is comming up on Thursday. I'm going cheap for them. And for my online friends... I made a digital Christmas card.

[Draconic]

I bought my girl a diamond ring. It's white gold, and what some might call an "Engamement ring". :D


..She said "yes".:D

[discordiatookie]

congrats draconic!

last christmas day, whilst opening presents in front of her family (her parents and sister), i got down on one knee and proposed to my missus! the ring i got her is also white gold, with diamonds! i guess every christmas aint gonna quite live up to that one for her :D (she said yes too, by the way!)

[cowabunga14]

I got my mom a huge bath kit deal from Wal-Mart on Friday night. It has a lot of stuff in a nifty metal container, and I got it for a good price. Nothin' for my dad cuz I guess he doesn't really care...:ohwell:...maybe next year.

[damnhooligan]

I'm making chocolate truffles with brandy for everyone. Mmm...

I'm not really big on gift-giving or receiving. I'm not Christian, but a good chunk of my family is, so I feel like I need to contribute to the festivities, even if just a bit. I like giving small intimate gifts, usually handmade. I'll do anything to avoid the shops.

[Cascadia]

let's see

My step brother: a gift certificate to download music for his iPod and some Oregonian coffee
My step sister: some bath stuff and beads
My step nephew: a couple of books and a stuffed animal
My step grandmother: bath stuff and a sweatshirt
My step mom: a nice outfit
My mom: a nice outfit and some flags for her yard
My step dad: a couple of nice shirts
My brother: Superman returns, something for his iPod
My dad: 3 nice shirts
My canine buddy: two new toys

I know...huge family.

[Barkworm]

Perfume for mom. That's it!

[Dr. Doom]

I love giving gifts, I just hate picking them out, I'm terrible at it. I'm never quite sure who I need to get gifts for either. At this point I only have a couple vague ideas: My brother just recently got a 360, so I'll probably try and think of a game he'd never get himself but would enjoy nonetheless... My mom is obsessed with Elephants, so I just get somethign with elephants on it and I'm fine there...and I saw a Futurama clander I was gonna buy for my friend. That still leaves me with having to get my step mom something (I'm not sure what), and possibly buying anything else I may encounter that I'd think would make a good gift for someone.

[Krang's Uncle]

I actually like buying gifts. I bought for eight people: father, mother, two brothers, sister, niece, nephew, secret santa.

Father= a Chicago Bears Hoodie, hes hard to buy for so i just bought him this one thing. Hes the type of person that doesnt say what they want at all, or even if they want something.

Mother= Three Wonder Woman Action figures, DKs Ultimate Guide to Wonder Woman, and another book about the history of Wonder Woman.

Sister= Disney doll of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, High School Musical, A Curious George Plush Doll, a calendar, The Little Mermaid DVD.

Little Brother= A Gundam video game for his PS2, Gundam Wing DVD set that has half of the cartoon run on it, a Bionicle, a book about dragons, Godzilla DVD, two Gundam action figures, an ant farm, a larger Gundam action figure.

Older Brother= A Nebraska Cornhuskers football jersey, and a Raider beanie.

Nephew= Scrabble, a Batman figure, a Mr. Freeze figure, and a pack of Dinosaur figures.

Niece= Bratz doll, a My Little Pony figure, a Princess Card Game, and some little Doll that comes in a Coke bottle shape thingy.

Secret Santa= a Turtles tshirt and some Turtle trading cards.

I would have liked to have bought more, but i had to work part time to accomodate my school schedule so i wasnt able to make as much money as i would have liked. Still, i think everyone i bought for will be content with what i got them, as everyone is getting something from what all interests them.

[Kid A]

I got my mother a comic, my father gets a dvd about siegfried and for my sister I have a How-to-Mangadraw-Learning-Book. I'm awaiting a new gi. What consumer whores we are!

[Jo Dawn]

I can't say, 'cause my bro's here, heh.

But congrats, draconic!! :)

I love giving gifts. Except, once I BUY them, I want to give them right away! Now I can't wait until Christmas to give these presents!!

[Peanut]

Yeah, a couple people I'm buying for come on here to check up on me, so I can't say too much. What I can say is that my girlfriend is getting major spoiled this year.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I bought my dad a full size old school movie theater popcorn machine. You know, the big stationary glass kind that you can fill up and scoop out of? He eats the stuff every night while watching HBO, so he's going to love it hardcore.

I've got my mom the West Wing Complete Series box set, and at $159.99 (and that's wholesale price form Sam's :o ), there's not much left for anything else.

My sister is getting a DS Lite.


My relatives are getting sh*t because I hate them, and because I'm broke. :lol:

[Katie]

Girlfriend - God knows, but I had better find something soon or I am royally boned. How would the rest of you girls on the forums feel about a watch (a fairly inexpensive one) for Christmas?


I think that would be a fine gift :) The cost isn't the part that counts anyway, it's the thought behind the gift.

All my gifts are themed this year....

Dad = Brown things (hoodie and a scarf and a new wallet and passport holder)
Brother = Black things (shirts. Poor kid looks like a homeless guy sometimes :P )
Mom = Blue things (two knit shirts and the softest scarf I have ever seen and a passport holder)

mom and dad travel alot...

my love....well he gets my heart. He had that anyway though. Guess he'll have to wait for his surprises ;)

[The Stryker]

All I'm doing for my peeps is passing out Wrestling junk.

Yeah, but I get a discount on those things leave me alone!

We were gonna get my mom one of those for her birthday last year, but had nowhere to put it. She loves popcorn, also. I used to, too.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Yeah, those things are awesome :)

[Spitfire]

I got
Mom - Children Of Bodom CD, Trade Paper back of The Crow
Dad*For Birthday and Christmas* - Serenity, Firefly Series Box set, Star Trek: First Contact, Millenium
Roomates*I have 3* - 1-month Everquest, 20 dollr gift card for Gamestop, Car tape for MP3 player

I got other stuff to but that's all I remember off hand. And me, I treated myself to a 32' Inch Samsung HDTV.

[Brodie]

I'm sure your mom will enjoy that crappy graphic novel. That isn't a dig at you either. Have you read it? Or took a peek at the art? Its pretty bad. And any interview with James O'Barr,he acts like he's the best illustrator on the planet. "I make people look realistic." Yes. Not a day goes by without me seeing someone with huge effin' eyes, very close together.

Although, I have to say, everything else sounds very, very neat.

Sorry, I just hate James O'Barr.

[discordiatookie]

And me, I treated myself to a 32' Inch Samsung HDTV.

a guy at my work got himself a 42 inch plasma screen HDTV. it is most awesome... he works all the way through from christmas eve at 3.00pm until boxing day at 3.00pm! highly illegal, but he gets double time and does it every year. the man's a vampire, hardly ever sleeps and plays WOW constantly, even when he's sposed to be working... so the tv's at work now, he's gonna set it up in the office/reception where he'll be spending all his time. (i work in a hotel, only he'll be in it, its closed that 3 days with the exception of a guest who lives there and one live in member of staff who'll probably help him out so he can snooze for a coupla hours...)

I read a page, it's okay. She probly won't even read it. I just got it for her because she's the kinda person who collects stuff. So anything related to anything she likes she collects.

I bought her a deluxe Crow toy from Mac F a few years back along with The Crow DVD so I figured she'd dig this. Even if the Crow looks pretty metro-sexual.

I agree the art isn't very good but I know she will love it haha my Moms weird like that.

[host_punktmy]

Brodie you are just plain ignorant.
