Well, guess I broke the guys unwritten law and all my shopping is done. When you have a teen and pre-teen, kinda have to cause they want specific items.

Daughter - 18 - Northface Jacket and matching gloves, Sorority hoodie, sorority belly button ring, sorority pillow and teddy (handmade by my mother), mamma mia dvd, 100 cash to go towards those UGGly boots she desperately has to have.

Son - 12 - Mario Kart for Wii, second wii wheel and sport kit, ps2 game, 2 board games, walle dvd, KU Hoodie, shirts, jeans, 100 cash

Mom and Dad - new bath and kitchen towels

Sister - large family electric griddle

Bro In Law - Battery Charger

Niece - Twilight books

Nephew - Boom Box

Ex Wife - sheet set and kitchen towels

Ex Wife's new husband - magazine subscription, gift card
 
Ok, here's what I have so far:

DH - underwater camera, book
Brother - wall clock w/ hidden "safe" compartment
Mom and Dad - nothing yet, don't know what to get them
Friends - lots of candles and holders (I'm a PartyLite consultant)

I got one of my presents early...DH build my new chicken pen today.

I just finished up my shopping tonight.

My 17 year old son got: Remington hat and hunting gloves, Addias cologne gift pack, Axe gift pack, new cell phone with a year contract and 120 minutes pre-paid (has to do chores for more minutes!) pair of work boots, $40 gift card at WalMart, $20 Barnes and Nobble gift card.

My 12 year old daughter got: Littlest Pet shop hand held game, Littlest Pet Shop game for her Ninetendo DS, cell phone with a year contract and 60 pre-paid minutes (also has to do chores for more minutes!) new hat and glove and scarf set, a jewlery making kit (all kinds of beads and strings) and a $20 Barnes and Nobble gift card.

For both of them: New Monopoloy Game (the one they have is getting pretty worn out!) New Uno Game, Huge container of crayola markers and crayons that comes in a nice stackable container with built in sharpener

My Dog Abbigail - bag of pigs ears and a squeaky santa that she will chew before I have all the wrapping paper picked up!

My two Maine Coon cats - bag of catnip and two fuzzy mice

Chickens - I plan on getting them a container full of crickets on Christmas Eve.

My mom - new automatic blood pressure monitoring kit, homemade note cards, a shirt, and a photo album I did by scrapbooking. It contains all of our family pictures going back 3 generations.

Now all I need to do is get some stocking stuffers and buy groceries for our Christmas Eve party and Christmas Eve dinner.

PHEW...and I have all the kids stuff in the trunk of my car. I am going to bring it all to work and wrap on my lunch hour!
 
I just finished our annual Celebration of Christmas show: 15 performances in 9 days, cast of 200+. I now have to wash all of the costumes, put away all the make-up and have not bought one single thing for any of my 7 kids or imediate family. We still have to pick out a Christmas tree and decorate the house. I did manage to go to my office Chirstmas Luncheon today and did make 1 batch of peanut brittle, 1 batch of almond joy candies and mixed up a double batch of butter cookie dough to make cherry winks. Did I mention my MIL is visiting from Canada and it will be our first Christmas ever together - after all these years! Love the Hollidays!!!!!!
 
I am just about done. I love the fact that my kids are creative and not very materialistic. It makes shopping or creating for them so much more fun.

DH - DVD's: Rome Seasons 1&2, Carnivale Seasons 1&2, chocolate from our amazing local candy store, Beanery bucks (coffee shop)

Oldest DS (15)- 2 argyle sweaters, Supernatural Season 3, chocolate, Dutch Bros. gift certicates (coffee place), a window star I made, a poly-clay egg I made, and a really cool found object robot sculpture my hubby made (which I know will be his favorite gift)

Youngest DS (12)- homestarrunner messenger bag, chocolate, Dutch Bros. gift certicates (coffee place), a window star I made, a poly-clay egg I made, and a really cool found object robot sculpture my hubby made, and a box full of puppet making materials: like fake fur, good scissors, needles, ping pong balls (he will squeal with delight when he opens this!).

My Dad is getting books 2-5 of the Tomorrow series by John Marsden

All other friends and family will get little packages with a poly-clay egg, home-made jams, window star, and whatever else home made that I think each one will like (ie; my cousin the chef will get some of my dried pasta).

I spent $120 combined on the boys. Cheap holiday, but they'll love what they got. They have something to open and that's what counts. Your gifts will be loved
