Christmass, what did you buy for who?

If I was going to give someone a car I would wrap the keys just like that..

Work pretty good for "bling" too.

I've also bought my husband a Christmas mankini.

It is red and has 2 bells on the front.

I'm not sure how he'll react - he's 62 years old!

The rest of us are almost guaranteed a really good laugh this Christmas.

We are flat out broke this year so...

All of the parents/grandparents got collaged pics of the kids in a frame. The pics were done by a budding pro photographer for a super super low price and I got the rights to the pics.
They also got a little gift basket with apple butter, brandied pear ice cream toppping, mixed berry jelly, homemade vanilla extract and vanilla sugar.

The kids got one big thing ($100.00) and then a couple of other things ($50-$75) and they got the Angora rabbits that they wanted.

Thats it this year folks.
DH and I always do a get away weekend at tax time and I get to shop til I drop...lol
 
DH is getting a shop vac ($15 BF special) to replace ours that lost a caster.... the latest WoT... LOTR DVDs... glazed a stein for him at Creative Hands... should have fired yesterday so ready for finishing touches today while kiddos are doing karate class...

it turns out well. I've a devil of a time trying to get what's in my head onto media... and it's WoT stein so... we'll see. Think happy thoughts.

Also plant to get him socks and undies. OH Monopoly jammie pants.

Me and/or DH are getting a new waffle iron, one of the flippy ones, Walmart BF special $10... also got one for SIL.
I've got the chicken books a BYCer sent me wrapped up for me.
Also things DD painted last year I've got wrapped up for me to open.
Oh and I found a marked down Rangers made it to the Series cap... my poor old beat up R cap can retire.

DS, 12, is getting a mini crane machine... appx $20 on ebay (should arrive by the 10th!!).... Rubix 360... Guitar Hero Aerosmith... uhhh... some Monopoly jammie pants like Dad's.... uhhh... shoot what else.... new earbuds, wii gun thingie, thermal undies, Jack Skelly ornament I found marked down at Gene Allens.

DD... bracelet making kit (amazon), where the wild things are DVD, clothes, new earbuds... I need some help here! Thinking sparring gear since she's finally a green belt... have to ask her instructor on the details though.

BIL gets a beer recipe book... his GF... no idea...
FIL gets a tomato turvy jobber... MIL a bisque magnolia (she loves Mags)...
SIL check, but her DH no idea... maybe $10 itunes?... Her boys 12 and 7 NO idea... dangit.

Mom is getting a turvy as well, donno what else.
Bro, no clue... his GF... no clue.
Sis gets ornaments I painted... her and the kids (may make one for her BF too), boots painted like galoshes w/names.

LOTS of mark downs, clearance, after Christmas, throughout the year... and painted crafty things around here.

Especially this year.

Don't know if that helps you at all... but might inspire.
 
We are pretty broke this year so the grown kids are just getting something they need and the rest of the money will be spent on the GS and Robert. They are still little. I got Ken and Kenny eletric razors, Sara some makeup and a jacket. Haven't done anything for the other 3 kids yet.
 
For my son:

Some small mindteaser games & something by the company that makes Rubiks cubes - those were in my gift box (extras from last year)
A board game
a wood carving chisel set
a very small hand plane to go with the chisels
A book (Cooking for Geeks)
a punching bag (like new, found at the thrift shop)
a couple of art models that he wanted (a hand & a larger human figure)
cologne

For "the house" (read that as meaning that anyone here can use them, but he doesn't get to take them when he is grown):
a band saw (used, estate sale)
a table saw (used, estate sale)
an Uno game, with pictures of wildlife on the cards

For me:
supplies to build my Rabbit a bigger enclosure (done)
a computer disc (all of the Mother Earth articles on one DVD. Bought it for $25 on the Black Friday sale)
14 pounds of sprouting seeds of various types

For my SO
a decorative item that was requested
a couple of tshirts
One other item, but it is slipping my mind right now

For one friend
A fun shaped dish for their pets & a Christmas tree ornament / picture frame.

For another friend who likes girly stuff:
an angel Christmas ornament made of stained glass (need to get it in the mail!) Small, since I need to mail it

For my grandparents: My grandma has asked for an item from BB&Beyond. I need to get it ordered very soon. I'm also going to make them a gift pack of sprouting seeds from the stash I bought myself. They just ate their last garden tomatoes & will probably like growing the sprouts this winter.

For my office partner:
Christmas tree ornament / picture frame
