A Screaming Monkey is always fun.

After seeing this, I just had to order one for each of my kids.

DS will be getting batteries , slim jims, camo duct tape, lighter for the firepit, gum, $5 McD's card, Land 'O Lakes single serve hot chocolate packets and a CD...total spent $25(cd was $6 and hot chocolate was $.50 each, got batteries with coupons for $1.90)
we usually put some Red Bull in there, but this year he is getting 20 pack as a real gift under the tree
Still working on DD's, but gluten free treats will be in hers which blows the budget


we did the screaming monkeys a few years ago, also sent them to D's room-mates and BF at the time, they LOVED them at college!

Socks are a family tradition for us. Sometimes regular ones, sometimes the most ridiculous ones I can find.

I am still in trouble with my SIL over the screaming monkeys I gave the nieces and nephew last year.
I think they are funny though.
Need to find another annoying gift she can be mad at me about.

Ant Farm. My niece and I used to gift each others' children the most obnoxious things. She won when she gave my girls one of those.

I was at our local Eddie Bauer Outlet and they had BOGO on their "gadgets." I got sporks, little wipes in a bag for cleaning their cell phone screens, A little gadget you wrap the cords of your ear phones around, etc.

Thanks! I just ordered 7- my sister is going to kill me when I give them to my kids and hers- at her house, of course!

we had a lady bug farm. 100 lady bugs. They were not suppose to get out but some did and for about a year, we'd find lady bugs in our house.

My vote as the number one gift for those who you hate!

TJ MAXX is a good place to get some cute girls gifts like purses, wallets, They also have a make-up, beauty aisle.

I love things that annoy my sister in law (she thinks she's a much better mom than anyone else . They more noise they better I used to say when her kids were little.

$1
My inlaws give my kids stuffed with $1 bills. That way they can get what they want instead of junk.
