I'm not quite sure what I'm getting my brother yet..
I'm probably gonna end up getting my mom a Barnes and Noble gift card and 1 bottle of wine
for my dad:

and a good amount of movies
In my family on Thanksgiving we swapped names bag. In the bag are everyones names and what they want for Christmas. I drew a cousins name: he's gonna get a Barnes and Noble gift card.
We did the name swap thing last year, minus wishes. I drew one of my nephews, and I bought him a $25 movie theater gift card in a fancy movie reel tin can. He liked it very much. I got a gift card es well, for a local store.
Not sure about this year as we haven't done the name swap (yet). I'll probably make a homemade hot chocolate mix with different ingredients layered in jars for everyone.
Hmmmm. No idea what I'm giving my wife or daughters, to be honest.
So far I have bought for one person on my (rather short) list.
And I can't say what I got her here!
So far I've picked up the board game of Jim Henson's Labrynth (which I ended up giving to Kristi within an hour or two of buying it because I couldn't wait to see her face), A K Wing Bomber for her X Wing fleet and a Munchkin 12 Days of Christmas activity pack (we play a lot of board games). I've also ordered her a bath robe that is done in the style of her character's costume in Warcraft. I've picked up a build your own jet engine for my nephew Adam and a make up set thing for my half sister.
Got so many more things to be buying and add to this.
Anyone make any progress yet?
It's looking to me that I'm going to be doing a lot of my shopping once I'm done with classes because of lack of time, but I'm going to have to mail my dad his stuff soon.
Getting there, got one more present planned to pick up for Kristi. Worked out a list last night and out of the eighteen people I need to get presents for I've gotten 10 sorted.
Not a DAM THING. :hatred:
(Because I been out of work for 2 years :bluesad:)

I have NO CLUE what either of those things are. :question:
I don't generally do the gift thing.
I was tempted to give everyone a copy of The Room Blu-ray but not sure how that'd go over.

Final role call --- who is giving what
I donated a new (and a few old) shock mount to WRWK
I've spent all my money this year on microphones, so...
As I was heading out for dinner with the family, I grabbed a couple of the healthiest looking coffee plants I'd started back in the spring.
It was a hit.
got a new full on dvd player for hubby and i..NTSC/PAL REGION FREE, you know how it is when you own imports ..
also bought hubby 4 new cds and 3 concert dvds. he got me( well, i picked them) a beautifully warm hoodscarf and a calflength sweater for under my coat..BFF got me an AMAZING pair of lambswool lined gloves and gave me 100 bucks for new boots. it gets damned cold waiting on busses in kansas.
my strange ebay friends who i send books to regularly,they sent us a jillion pounds of junky food, lol! and all they got was more books!
Toys to the city toy drive for underprivileged children, which I do every year.
My local drugstore credits me $1.00 for every $100.00 I spend there. That not may sound like a lot, but I spend a lot of money there, as it is on my way home from whether I am. And you have to spend the money accumulated in an year or lose it, so to keep from losing it, I spend it as I said. This year I think I was able to purchase over $60,00 worth of toys for under $10.00
