Thus far I got my BFF the following: a Burberry scarf in red with her initials two soft journals in red and a vintage Taxco dragon cuff my sister wants an amazon prime membership so I'll get her that. I think I'll get my granny an antique cross I think I will get something from Tiffannys for my other sister and another friend of mine I'm going to buy some mirror compacts from Chanel to give as work gifts and some lip glosses. I have no idea what to get my third sister. I love to read your gift ideas...you're such a great gift giver! Thanks for sharing peas! I have ordered several things over the past couple days and knocked a few people off my list. yay! SaveSave |

My younger son likes only higher quality things. He needs a winter coat and asked for North Face or he would settle (haha) for Columbia. I found a Columbia coat on Amazon I planned to buy but then at work we got in some North Face jackets that were on sale about $30 cheaper, no tax and no interest, so I had him meet me there and he selected one. It will come out of my pay check a little bit each payday. But it won't be a Christmas present at this point. If it had it would have taken up more than half his Christmas list budget!

Well, I got wool ponchos for my SILs from the site that myboysnme posted. Aran Sweater Market This is more than I usually spend on them, but I thought they looked so nice. And I got y MIL a lap blanket from the site that Nanner listed Dignify I think she will really appreciate the idea behind it, and the colors I found will look lovely in her living room. So I really appreciate the ideas, I knew you guys would help me with stuff I'd never think of on my own! I picked up a really nice Martha Stewart thermos at Macy's today, in a red and black buffalo check that looks retro, and I'm going to give that to my FIL along with a bunch of nice coffees. He is a coffee lover and I think he would like to have some to take along with him on his errands. Got a nice little wallet/money clip for my nephew and I'm going to put a gas station GC in it--he just got his license and is driving himself to school now. At the Vera Bradley sale I got an ID clip, crossbody bag and cosmetic bag for my 15-year-old niece in a matching teal/blue pattern. I think I'll throw some cosmetics in the bag for her, too. And I got ID clips for my 11- and 13-year-old nieces, mainly to hold the GCs I'm getting them. They have shared a room their whole lives, and are moving into a house next month where they'll each have their own room. So I'm getting them Target GCs for decorating their rooms. I am going to put together small gift bags for friends, with good pens, a notebook, packs of tissues, lip balm and a nail file--all sized to go into their purses. I got it all at Amazon and it will cost about $10/person. All I have left is my BIL and my 19-year-old nephew. I know my nephew would just love a chunk of cash for gas and food (he commutes to college). So I am almost done. Except for my husband and we're not sure if we're giving gifts to each other this year. We have a kitchen remodel planned for early 2017 and it would be good to save for that. |

I fell in love with that for so many people but I have no one on my list to get it for. I bet they will love it and maybe even be a little impressed that it's from Ireland. |

We don't buy for too many people - my mom, MIL, and Step-FIL, all of whom also have birthdays in December or January, which makes it harder. MIL never tells us what she wants until after I am done shopping, so I just try to get something I think she will like. This year, I think I will get her the huge tin of Walker's Shortbread from Costco and something else to be determined. My mom will come up with a list as soon as I remind her to!
We buy for one of DS' brother's kids - down to 2 now since the third one was 18 last year, so we wont buy for her anymore. In their entire lives, they have never once thanked us for any gift we have given them, so we usually just give them iTunes cards or target gift cards.
Other than that, it's just DH, DS and me. The Cubs helped tremendously by winning the World Series - I just placed a fairly sizeable order from MLBshop.com today.

I have bought a couple things for my dd (17) I found on Zulily one of those mermaid tail knitted blankets. It hasn't come yet, I hope it is as nice as I think its gong to be!
I also bought her the Sigma Spa Express Brush cleaning mat for all of her makeup brushes. I read about it on another thread a while back. The peas raved about it.
I also bought me sister a 32oz Yeti cup. Another pea recommended product! |
