Hey ladies!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving

Have you guys done any Christmas shopping yet? Any idea what you're getting everyone? I'm at such a loss this year, not just in gift giving either, I don't even know what to ask for

What are you guys giving/asking for?

 

[ImMarcik]

I did most of my Christmas shopping over the weekend. Pretty much completely done with my dd.

I'll be doing all my shopping at WDW. I still don't know what I'll be getting DBF from there...

 

[MainStMandy]

I'm about half done. Got dbf's mom gifts from Kansas (where she grew up), dbf's dad collector Marvin the Martian Watch, Dad collage calendar from our trip to Cali, Grandma shutterfly book of my brother and I, mom a celtic family tree sterling silver handcrafted bracelet....I'm almost done.

I don't want much really...plus my bday is next week

Something sparkly wouldn't hurt, lol!

 

[Shyvioletisme]

ugh...christmas shopping...lol well neither DH nor I want much..we pretty much end up buying what we want for ourselves throughout the year, so there's not really anything left to get at Christmas, but we usually come up with something small and inexpensive for each other...
other than that...I got my mom's gift, MIL's, my SIL, my niece and I always bake goodies for my Dad cause he's insanely hard to buy for and loves getting sweets anyway...

I feel you on that...I have no real idea what to get for DBF.

Oh, happy early birthday!!!
You and Marci are so organized and practically done shopping, I feel like such a slacker in comparison.

I'm thinking of going the baking some sweets route myself. I'm awesome at baking and I don't have a ton to spend on gifts anyways, so that would help immensely.

I have to shop for...

• DBF - as of right now, he will probably end up with an xbox controller and either Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars, and/or Lego Indiana Jones. I also found a jacket he really likes, so maybe that.
• Mom & Dad - I might offer to cook for them one night while I'm home, or give them a gift certificate for a restaurant and offer to babysit while they go to dinner by themselves.
• 13 year old sister - she's easy, I'll probably raid the Nightmare Before Christmas area of Hot Topic for her.
• Grandparents - no idea!
• Guy best friend - something either Batman or Star Wars related...or booze
• Girl best friend - no clue! She's pregnant with her first, so maybe something for a first time mom?
• 2 secret santas - no idea here either

I think I'm going to ask for a GPS from my parents, along with some perfume, books and makeup. DBF is taking me to Mickey's Very-Merry Christmas Party as my present, which is pretty much the best present ever

Now if I could only find the time to put up my tree. I think I may start dragging stuff out tonight!

My dd loves Nightmare area of hot topic too. I bought her two band tshirts from there and a gir cupcake shirt.

My shopping is practically done. It was practically done BEFORE Thanksgiving actually. The only person I don't really have for is DBF....he is hard to shop for, and I have no idea what to get him. He asked for gift cards to Best Buy since he works there so he can get what he wants with his discount, but I don't like giving gift cards....that's just me lol. I did get him part of his gift; a T-Shirt that says something like "I won't tell Santa that you've been naughty", I thought it was hilarious so I picked it up.

As for his brother and father....well my mom is making a cake (her special Chocolate Kahula cake) and I'll make some cookies and it'll be like a platter. I never even MET his father, so that'd be doubly hard this year.

I have 10 days to finish my shopping, wrap my presents, and have my Best Friend's gift shipped out. I need to have it all done before my surgery on the 12th. Why was I up half the night sketching, and not baking or something?!? Lol.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I want to get something very special for DBF because there might be a proposal of sorts involved in the gift...I'll see what I can find at WDW.

Speaking of WDW, everything is so hectic, I leave next week! I'm kinda nervous because I'm flying JetBlu and that's my first time flying with that airline. Has anyone traveled with them? Are they good?

 

[cuppie cake]

Wow, Caribbean--you're going to propose to your DBF?? What's your plan? Are you going to to it on New Year's?? Enjoy your trip!

I'm thinking about it, though it won't be a full on proposal. I would have no idea what to say.
I'm thinking of engraving the words on something, or if I can't do that I will write a long letter in his Christmas card.

I have a date tonight. I haven't been out or on a date in a while so I am excited. Do you know how many times I said that phrase today "I have a date tonight"

Thanks, I'm a little nervous. I hate first dates.

That's great!! Have a blast...I hate 1st dates too!!

So on Thanksgiving I gave dbf a few pages ripped out of the black Friday ads for "inspiration" i.e. erings I liked, lol.

The pages are MISSING!!

Don't know if he took them...or someone threw them out. Let's hope for the 1st thing!!
