Re: Christmas gift ideas
Posted by NervousNell
Honestly- I really wish all adults would just agree- no gifts. It would make Christmas so much less expensive but more importantly less stressful.
Def agree with this. I think sometimes people are just scared to say anything about ending the gift giving. We still exchange with DH's cousins and I tried to put an end to that a few years ago but they weren't on board. I just feel like everyone has their own expenses and it's un-necessary. If it was up to me I would just buy for our nieces & nephews (besides my own kids of course!)

Christmas gift ideas
Does he play cards? A nice poker chip set is nice.
Does he cook at all? A gourmet gift basket of italain foods is great.
I love Man Crates. Not sure if he is into anything they have but they are fun and my go to for my BIL every year lol.

I agree! My nieces and nephews are in their 20's now and I kind of wish I can stop gifting them also, only because they already have everything and are very picky.

My nephew is 26 and I give him an amazon gift card. They can always Use that. Everyone is obsessed with amazon lol
My oldest niece is 22 and she just bought a house last year. I give her gift cards. Either a visa one or bed bath, Homegoods. She really appreciates them

Maybe an experience gift. My sister gets my parents a GC for dinner in the city and tickets to a Broadway show.

Re: Christmas gift ideas
We've got it figured out!!!
I got the PJ set with the black plaid bottoms and shirt that says "I am the sensei do what I say"
A bottle of his favorite Cologne
and Gift Cards to his favorite places he goes to with his granddaughter (my niece) I made a sign that fits into a 5x7 picture frame That Says "The Adventures of Pop Pop & Olivia" with a pic of the Chuck e cheese mouse, a cute colorful background and stuck 3 gift cards into the frame (2 to chuck e cheese and 1 to panera - their favorite hangout spots). I think he'll get a kick out of that. A way to give gift cards without "just giving a gift card"
I thank you all for your ideas and like i Said before, I hope other people got some ideas from this thread. You guys are awesome
ETA: I had to add a pic of the photo frame. I can’t stand how cute it is

Christmas gift ideas - update on p2
Love it!! I think that is what I may do for my inlaws and parents. I love the frame and what a nice way to give a gift instead of just in an envelope.
