Printable* My daughter inherits my old MacBook - all cleaned up, refurbished, clean-installed OS * My downstairs neighbor, who's quickly becoming like family, loves all things angel, so I'm buying her a dictionary of them. Was gonna give her my own copy, but I couldn't part with it. * My mom gets an all-expense-paid holiday trip up here to Toronto this year. She was last here in any real sense in 1982 -- which was my childhood introduction to the city. * My wife gets...

I'm grateful for that trip so long ago, and it'll be fun to show her what's changed over the past 28 years.
not sure yet, but it will be something modest. We usually do something bigger for New Years, which is also our wedding anniversary.
dunno.
therefore i find myself with very little time for shopping and a need for a serious approach.
so, to sum up and answer the OP's question: dunno. | |

last year my family played a fun game where the object was to stay under $20 per person, gag gifts included. that was fun. this year, people aren't into that so much and appear to be taking this whole gift giving thing seriously. plus, the past two weekends we've been snowed in which prevent any shopping type activity.
i don't really like shopping, and i am not so good at being serious about buying christmas gifts. this could so easily not go well. maybe i'll just shop once i'm in oregon 
that would free up this weekend nicely 
Kid gets Ucreate music, with dj head phones and a microphone. Grandma gets an aromatherapy burner. It's shaped like 3 women praying, very arty piece. Some breathe oils-eucalyptus and whatnot. Niece got some accessories for her phone which I gavr her a few early since we had to run up to NY. Of course she ran up in the minutes so I'm fighting not to take the damn thing away. I also ran her up to Ny to get her stuff before it got hocked. I also did her damn taxes! Biych was sitting on 6K. Can you imagine? That's the ultimate in procrastination and laziness. Too lazy to learn. Then she tried to act like she doesn't owe me over 1K. Seriously tried to tell me she thought I would only be charging her 50 bucks a month for rent. Chile please! Spent less than a hundred on Amazon. I refuse to go all out ever again. Oh if you think I'm getting anything good from them....haha! So I got myself accessories for my phone and car and a necklace. | |
