Christmas presents, Discuss Options

[Mommy]

What did you get people? Is there something you are hoping to get?

Then come Christmas, we update each other on what we got.


I'll go first on what I got people:
My mom: a gift card to Dillards cuz she all of a sudden started to like shopping and she needs new clothes (im normally opposed to getting gift cards) and some fingernail polish
My dad: a gift card to Best Buy cuz my mom is getting him a laptop for Christmas so I figure he'll need some accessories.
My grandma: a whole bunch of random cool stuff I know she'll like like a "grow your own" venus flytrap, a betty boop calendar, a nick nack that looks like her dog, and a hummingbird sun reflector thing
My brother: some gun thing he wanted and some Yu-gi-oh cards
My grandpa: $20 to buy stamps and the best of The Match Game on dvd (its an old game show)
Will: a vintage looking record player and some Rolling Stones albums... and just so I dont seem like an idiot.... I already gave him the gift so it doesnt matter if he reads this

Im excited. I havent been able to buy my family good gifts in a long time.

I dont know what I want from my family. I guess its going to just be nice to see them for the holidays.

My family does name draws so we don't have to spend lots of money on lots of people...

For immediate family I pulled my brother and I got him a Red Raider hot sauce kit

For extended family I pulled a cousin and so far I have a bath set but I need something else for a 15yo who is already spoiled rotten...

Dad and stepmom Lonesome Dove on DVD so we don't have to watch it every time it comes on, plus a bottle of Chardonnay barbecue sauce from the Llano winery (we went last weekend)

Have nothing yet for my mom/her fiance, grandparents or my sister.

Jason and I bought a joint gift for ourselves - an apartment. Other than that, we aren't getting each other anything.


The only thing I want/have asked for is cash/gift cards. It's really tacky to ask for/give them and it's rude to ask for money I know, but as a recent grad I'm concerned about paying rent first and foremost. Plus we have so much crap that anything I can think of would most likely be something for the sake of asking for something. At least gift cards can be used for things like groceries and home furnishing stuff...

I'm getting a digital camera from my mom as a graduation present and that's the only thing I really want. Plus I'm getting her furniture since she's moving in with her fiance. And I finally get my dog so I'm all gifted out when it comes to what I want.
