What're you buying your loved ones for xmas?

*discordiatookie* · 12-18-2006, 02:18 PM

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!

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.
