What are you GIVING for Xmas?

[muddygreymare]

Have made calendars with my photos for relatives and made little sets of owls as ornaments/tree decorations for them too. Not got my mum/dad/siblings anything yet but planning on getting those in the next few days or at Olympia.
Got my best friend who lives down south, a chocolate orange, a Concorde Calendar (he loves planes) and a keyring, which has a grain of rice in it with his name and date of birth on

Have made loads of marmalade, jams and relishes this year so people are getting hamper type pressies, along with some leather things I have made for a few special extras!

*drags mind out of gutter*

Errrr. I got my horsey mate in the office secret santa (I swear I didn't rig it ) so I got her a Olly Murs calendar to embarass her in front of the office D) and got a mate to do a cartoon of her horseys in a christmassy scene as her card

I got the same person to do a cartoon of my mother's cat wearing a fez (she's a strange woman) and framed that as part of hers. I also bought her a bracelet at YHL and will probably get something else when divine inspiration strikes... I do have a few idea though

I got my mate some record themed bookends which he will probably think I'm mad for getting him, but it seemed a good idea at the time as he used to DJ on hospital radio and is really into his music. Less so his books, though

My bestfriend is currenty causing me to panic blindly and hope (again) for divine inspiration

Errrrr... Other than that... more panicking?

Getting the mother a kindle... she was also moaning that now nanny has passed away she doesnt get a stocking.. honestly this woman is 59... the day has passed for stockings, however I guess with my warm hearted inner sole, I will find it in me to organise one for her... and the father (who is 62) one as well.. otherwise I see tears and tantrums! lol!!

The brother.... hmm tough one, something tight and lycra?? my mind has been hugely bent and twisted already from seeing him in previous cycle wear..

The boyfriend... dont know if we will even be together still...

I WANT

 

[rascal]

My eldest daughter was taken to robinsons and chose a complete set of tack for her now almost grown up horse.
Youngest is getting a horse when we find the right one, going to see two at the weekend. We thought we were buying the cob she has been riding, the owner said she would be happy to sell then changed her mind at the last second.

No idea what to get field owner or the nice man next door to the field who fills our water up for us every day.

[MrsHutt]

Eldest son is moving into new flat any day so he and his girlfriend are getting furniture, frying pan (!), pictures for the wall, etc etc ...

Youngest son wants £££ or 'GAME' vouchers

Mother-in-law wants some exciting things from the Damart catalogue!!

Auntie - cat print apron & tea cosy set + smellies

Cousin - really lovely handbag (if I don't keep it myself!!)

OH - we are buying half each of our new cat! (she arrives just after Christmas!)

I am really stuck for 13 year old nephew - don't want to spend more than about £10 - any ideas???

 

[FairyLights]

sons a pullover each ,Grandson a train set ,husband a thumb stick.

 

[tallyho!]

Some really lovely ideas!

We've decided to do basket hampers for family and secret Santa amongst our groups of friends. That way, we all get something we want but not spend too much as I don't know anyone who is not struggling this year.

You're all so thoughtful!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas

 

[Mythical]

The best bit about Christmas is giving presents!
I got my sister tickets to see panic at the disco (what she asked for) and she thinks she's got seats up in the nose bleeds. I managed to get standing tickets, so from now till Christmas the catchphrase will be "I'm sorry I got you such rubbish seats"
My Mum thinks she's getting nothing. I've actually got her a new laptop and a logo for her etsy shop.
Can't wait for Christmas morning just for those!!!

My poor boyfriend is looking like the only one who will get nothing now. I thought about tickets to watch a premier league darts match, but the price of those things now is

 

[4x4]

Home made stuff for everyone, OH and I (hopefully) having new TV in sales. Don't want any £1 shop crap so that's all! Bah humbug! Not sending cards either except if we receive any from really good old friends who live a long way away!

 

[babymare]
