So I updated my spreadsheet yesterday and I am really, really close to being just about finished. I do have a small list for my Black Friday shopping, but otherwise, I'm ready to wrap it all up I think. We go big for Christmas around here, especially with DD and honestly, I think it's ME who really like all the stuff around. I love a big pile on Cmas morning. So here goes:
DD9
On Cmas Eve - PJs,
National Geographic's Amazing Things book, an Art Kit and Fashion Plates (the art kit & fashion plates she will get to open around noon and it will keep her busy while I prep for Cmas Eve dinner with the fam)
From Santa (she's stilll a believer)
Spa set (nail dryer from Justice, Kaboodle filled with nail & bath & body stuff, spa towel & hair wrap, new hair brush)
AG pile (clothes Armoire (not AG brand. I got a good deal elsewhere), Julie doll & her summer clothes set, Baking Table & accessories and 3 outfits I found elsewhere including an adorable Tap outfit because DD is a tapper)
Magician's Kit (DD went to a magic themed bday party over the summer and has been obsessed since) - I found a trunk at Garden Ridge and I filled it with a Magic Book & wand, a top hat & cape, some magic cards and book for that and I found a white rabbit webkinz
Gift card tree with a bunch of gift cards to her favorite places.
In her stocking is a necklace with her name on it, an new Ipod touch case and I'll find her favorite candies and the traditional Pez & Lifesave Book
From Mommy & Daddy - I will pick up some books at the school book fair in a few weeks, a new diary, some clothes, new ballet leo & skirt, tights, hot pants for jazz & tap and leg warmers, found some Mad Libs, getting the AG doll hair DVD & book and an AG doodle book. I also need to find her some new cami tops and socks. I need to check her sneakers too. It may be time for a new pair. We didn't need them at the beginning of the school year and she really only wears them on P.E. days, so I need to check those out.
On to the rest of the family:
Niece (7) is really into Monster High so she's getting Rochelle Goyle, a MH puzzle, MH diary and MH sketch book. I saw some walkie talkies at BJs and got a coupon yesterday for BF so I may pick those up too.
Nephew (4) is getting some books, puzzles and he's in to legos so those are on my BF shopping list. Spiderman walkie talkies might be picked up for him too.
Nephew (13) - just made his school basketball team and she needs practice clothes so I'll get those on BF
My cousins kids who we are close too will both get movie gift cards & candy
My BFFs girls - the 10 year old is getting a nail art book & nail polishes and a bracelet making kit. The 5 year old is getting a Disney Headbandz game and some jewelry (she's the little Diva)
My mom - new piece of luggage and a necklace from Origami Owl representing her 3 grandkids
My dad - some tool box thing from Northern Tool, new life vests for their new boat and he wants some new USB flash drives and BJs has some good coupons for BF
Also giving my parents a magnet and a nightlight of the artwork DD did this year and they sell as a fundraiser for her school's art program. DD also does them a scrapbook calendar too.
MIL - workout pants and car charger for her apple products.
FIL - garden hose and a tool set
Also giving the in-laws a new anti-squirrel bird feeder they want.
Grandma (DH's step granny) - she's difficult so I have no idea. She hates everything
Dance Teachers - spa kits in a jar (aloe infused socks with foot scrub & lotion from Bath & Body, stuffed in a large mason jar with some candies and a scrubby tied to it)
Teachers at school - not sure yet. I'm room mom so her main teacher will probably get a class gift. We did a gift card wreathe last year and that was a hit so may go that route again. There are a few other teachers that pop in and out of her class so I will just do goodie boxes for them. Bus driver gets a gift card to Panera and a box of goodies. Same for her speech teacher.
DH - hardest person EVER to buy for and so far I have him a vest for our January ski trip and I got him a new water ski/jet ski life vest too. He's always my last minute person.
Whew. Now to wrap it all!
