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  .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. |

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

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...
 ...maybe next year.

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.

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.

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. |

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.

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  ), 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.

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  )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
