Who are you buying for?

How many holiday gifts are you buying? <B>WHO</B> are they for and <B>WHAT</B> are they?

Maybe we can get some ideas from eachother . . .


I am buying an espresso machine for G (ok, ok, yes I will be using it too :D , but he does really want one) and a pair of pants and if he's really good :D maybe a new shirt too

For C (G's 9 yo son) so far it is a spongebob playstation 2 game, but I am struggling with ideas for another gift for him.

For K (G's 12 yo son) lots of arts and crafts stuff -- paint, modeling clay, puzzels, and those really cool refrigerator magnets that are a series of words and letters to help with reading and spelling.

For G's mom I am totally at a loss! I have no idea what to get the woman.

My "Goddaughter" is also getting those magnets (she's 6) and a pet grooming kit (she asked for it).

Fortunately my family doesn't celebrate any gift giving holidays (phew), but I do get gifts for my young cousins which they open on New Years Eve (at midnight) so I wait till after christmas to buy their gifts.


Now it's your turn . . .

Nothing here.

...I'm a Muslim, we celebrate Eid. Like you my family doesn't do the whole gift giving thing on Eid either, MOON. The elders normally just give money to the kids but that about all. Though this year I did give gifts to my three cousins.

...I do normally however give out holiday cards and some choclate boxes to any friends that do celebrate Christmas. It is a wonderful time of the year. :)

well Christmas is going to be a small one for me.. I'm buying a house right now so all my money is kinda going towards that...

I'm buying for my parents, sister, bro in law, husband and baby...

Small things for My girlfriends daugher and son... and my cousins kids... and my other girlfriends son and daughter to but that's it...

Oh and secret santa at work....

I'm buying for 'C' and his kids and my parents. All the rest of the family are going to get a picture of 'C', Sebastian(our kitty) and myself by the fireplace......we took it with our digital camera.

I spoil 'C'....I got him several DVD's of movies he loves....his fav. cologne......a beautiful candle sconce from the Z-Gallerie that hangs on the wall.......a photo album I put together of the two of us........two pictures of Martinis from the Z-Gallerie.........a black vase that shows speckles of color when held just right from Pier 1........a nice box of cigars from the Dominican Republic.......a framed picture of the two of us from last Christmas in a Christmas frame ( I do this every year).........Boxers from The Gap.......and a bunch of goodies for his stocking. :-)
Hope this helps someone with ideas!!

OHHH Bella! I LOVE Z-Gallerie! C is a very lucky man! :D

I think that I am going to get G's mom a nice silk scarf (sp?)

What do you all think about that? Think it's appropriate?

I have no idea if she will like it, but she will be able to carry it back to Greece easily.

A silk scarf is a lovely gift!! Great choice, scarfs are really 'in' right now
Yes, the Z Gallerie has really high-quality items! I love that store!
