Post your gift ideas for everyone!!!!!!

I thought it might be a nice idea for everyone to post their ideas, original or not, to give everyone else some inspiration for the upcoming holidays.

Let's try to make everyone a little less stressed and make gift buying fun again!!!!!

OK, I'm buying DH a new video camera and a skateboard. Yes, I said skateboard!!! He wants one so our dog can pull him on it. Chat Icon DH just turned 36.....Chat Icon

My nephew-thinking of a leapfrog type educational toy and some clothes.....

My godmother/surrogate grandmother-a GC to her favorite hair salon.

Need help with:
1- goddaughter (2 yrs old)
2-Dad (not telling!)

Let's get the creative juices flowing!!!!

Re: Post your gift ideas for everyone!!!!!!

So far:

My niece and nephew (nrthshgrl's kids):

DVD player and two movies (Over the Hedge and Cars)

Nephews (DH's side):

Pretend power tools, Elmo TMX and one of those foam chairs (they fight over the one they have now)

DH:

So far I'm thinking a radar detector, he doesn't have enough stuff AT ALL hanging from the windshield (i.e. Sirius and GPS)

Mom:

25th Anniversary Ornament (I got my aunt a 50th Anniversary one and she loved it)

What about a massage or tickets to a concert or show? Maybe you can split the PS3 with another family member.....

Re: Post your gift ideas for everyone!!!!!!

For women who like to read, YOU MUST buy the Emily Giffin trio of Something Borrowed, Something Blue (sequel) and her newest Baby Proof.

Your recipient will thank you. I got the first 2 for my birthday and they are amazing reads.....

NO I havent gotten it yet, but its collapsable and folds up into a nice bag. So when Ryan wants to play with it he can take it out and when he is done I can put it away. One of the neighbor kids have something similar and they play with it outside all of the time. Since we cant have toys outside permanently it works well for me.
