Christmas coming up....
« on: December 10, 2004, 06:18:56 pm »
And if you are like me, you have no idea what to buy. Of course I was always lousey at it.. but I hope to do better.
Any idea's out there for the "gift ideas deprived"?
For me I have:
50 yr old man
54 yr old wmn
19 yr old wmn
2 yr old wmn.

Gonna go to WalMart Monday and just browse... maybe something will jump out.
Perhaps if we post what we have bought it will give others ideas?

Hoi likkerpig,

 I stopped shopping for gifts a number of years ago. In the stead of store bought goods, I bake. Even the most simple baked goods go over well with everyone. Of course presenting the goods in a nice festive tin adds value too. I have a bunch of things that are easy to do, let me know if this is an option.

Take care...to keep what remaining sainity you have left over the holidaze rush, hehe

50 yr old man:     Try a Galileo thermometer...kinda unique

54 yr old wmn    That's tough..but assuming it's your mom, a fluffy, but warm, sweater, in colours she likes

19 yr old wmn    Diamonds are forever..but begs for a commitment..gotta go with your gut..that's tough, but I don't know her

2 yr old wmn.   Easy..pajamas with her favorite characters on them, some cute tops, a cudly toy of her fave..but keep it down on the clothes, they grow too fast
