Title: What is everyone giving for Christmas?
Post by: bob on November 21, 2012, 09:54:16 AM
I thought I'd start this because I'm getting an early start this year. I'm currently wrapping what I got for my brother and dad.

I'm giving my brother The Third Man, Touch of Evil (Director's Cut), Sunset Blvd. and Strangers on a Train.

I'm getting my dad The Sting, Vertigo, Citizen Kane and Kubrick's Lolita.

My brother and I are going to give my mom a spa gift certificate to a local place.

Board games, mostly.  I'll probably whip up some scarves or hats too.

Our son wants a Nexus 7.  I don't know what that is but I'm sure it's expensive.  Our younger daughter always wants clothes - my wife takes her shopping about 24 times during December.  Don't know what our oldest wants.

I'm getting my wife a DVD of Certain Prey, which is based on a novel by John Sandford, one of her favorite authors.  And I always get her something nice from the jewelry store but I haven't done any shopping for that yet.

Oh and mom always gets a gift certificate to a clothing store and dad is the most impossible person in the world to shop for - I usually get him golf balls lol.

For my sister: Freezy Pups (she and her boyfriend have two very active pups who love to run around outdoors, so they'll get lots of use out of this in the summer), and some handmade soap.

For my boyfriend: Season 1 of Adventure Time and a Games Workshop gift certificate.

Yeah, it's not much, but I'm still a university student. Gotta go for fairly inexpensive stuff that they're still going to love and get good use out of, y'know?

LOL, I've borrowed my dad a few DVD's.  If he hasn't gotten around to watching them in 18 months or so I start threatening to take them back  :bouncegiggle:

Earlier today I pickied a family members name out of a hat, per tradition on turkey day, and I buy what is on the piece of paper for that person.

I'm getting Listening In - JFK book, the CD Badlands and a leather check book cover.

No ma'am. That would be FAR too destructive. You'll have fun with one of those. Leave his them alone.

you might end up regretting that when they decide it's the best album ever and play it non-stop 24/7 for a year...


I managed to spend £30 on chocolate yesterday, that's got to be an all time record for me I think. the recipients had better be grateful cause it's some high quality chocolate not your standard stuff. I hope they realise this. maybe I'll 'accidentally' leave the price tags on

I'm giving my parents clothes, gift cards, possibly a bottle of whiskey or gin for my dad, and I'll probably get them a combined gift for the house.  Something they both can use. 

My sisters, their husbands, and my nephews will all likely get gift cards unless I see a gift that I think will really blow them away.

Probably gift cards this year....

I have only one gift left to buy and it's for my other sister's husband.
Since he will like anything I give him, I have to try and get something
that REALLY makes him say "WOW". It's harder than it seems.
