I am not big into silly presents, I have always liked things that would be useful.
I prefer to make my gifts for the adults in my life. I find that when I try to shop for gifts for people over 13 it is all just junk destined to head to a Goodwill soon.
Everyone likes gift baskets of canned goods, homemade candles, a quilt made just for them, a hand knit headband. It has been pointed out to me that not everyone can make things people are happy to receive and I am lucky to be able to do this.

I also HATE getting things for Christmas. My Dad was always good at getting great, practical gifts I never knew I wanted, but I have everyone focus on my sons now, and as a single Mom rarely get anything form anyone during the holidays.

Last year I got ... hmmm, what did I get? I think I got a tin of cookies from my Grandmother & to cook for a whole gaggle of people.

If there were a Santa I would ask him for:

2 rain barrels
enough wood for 2 raised beds
some trellises

and, since I have been an EXTRA good girl this year despite really hard times,

a spinning wheel.
 
I want a job for my boyfriend before Christmas.
I want my oldest to make it home for Christmas. He's in boot camp and they're going to let them have leave!
I either of them to turn my old extra dresser into a little broody coop.
and some of those really soft, fuzzy socks would be good!
