Anyone getting anything good for someone else? I know I have a really tough time keeping presents a surprise for the people I get them for, so I thought I could share some of them here to keep me from spoiling it for them. Then I realized I wanted everyone else to have a place to share the presents they were getting for others if they so chose, so here we are. For the boyfriend: Game of Thrones playing cards, a T-Shirt with a quote from Tyrion with the Lannister house emblem on it (he's a big GoT fan, and Tyrion is his favorite character), some body wash that we both like the smell of, and a set of resistance bands for him to use when he works out. Oh, and probably a mushy card or something like that. My sisters (3 of them) are each getting a body wash, shampoo, and conditioner from Bath and Body Works, and probably something small and handmade by me. Mom and Stepdad: Gift card for a restaurant they really like, movie passes for The Hobbit, and an offer to watch my younger sister for a few hours so they can go on a date. Dad and Stepmom: Restaurant gift card and a nice card. Best friend (that lives out of state): A foot spa and a bunch of miscellaneous spa items (she's a dancer, so her feet are her livelihood, and if I know her, I know she's probably not as kind to them as she could be). What are you getting, and for whom? (No need to share EVERYTHING, but you may if you'd like. ) Dec 07 12 11:52 am Link HellBelle wrote: This makes no sense whatsoever. You can't keep secrets... so you're posting everything on the Internet... to keep a secret? Dec 07 12 12:34 pm Link California Girls Skate wrote: Probably should have clarified that one, my bad. Sharing here keeps it a secret from my friends and family. None of them know I'm on here, and even if they did, I doubt they could find me, as I'm on here under an alias. So the surprises for them aren't spoiled, and I still get to share what I'm getting for people. Makes sense to me. Dec 07 12 01:02 pm Link OMG THIS THREAD IS FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEE. Ahem: Okay, so my mom is getting (you'll notice a theme here) from me: Wii Fit balance board (with feet things to raise it higher, rechargeable battery pack, and a jelly cover) Wii Fit game My Fitness Coach Wii game nice perfume a handmade clear glass ornament with aged paper curled inside, with christmas carols on each strip, in different fonts/sizes. No photo because I'm still making it (it's a week long process). an LV iPad case (real, a friend of a friend has rich parents, her mom bought it to go with her iPad, and decided she hated using the iPad, and so gave the case to her daughter, who is smart and has the MS Surface So I eventually inherited it). my bro Jamie is getting: a NICE multi-tool with a little hammer on the end (from me) a Sons of Anarchy hat (from me) and some video game that I don't remember the name of (from my mom) my bro Jeremy is getting: a set of record coasters (from me) and some game called Dirt 3 from my mom. My nephew!!! is getting (a lot!!): Zany Zoo Wooden Activity Cube (from me) Spiderman hoodie with black pants (from me) several smaller toys like a semi truck that has animals that make their respective noises on the side as well as the typical honk, steam engine, etc sounds. a giant mr potato head (from me): a lil lightning mcqueen power wheels (from my mom): he's getting other stuff, but those are the big ones. my sister in law is getting: a NOOK Simple Touch (from my mom) and a case & book light for it (from me) Dec 07 12 01:02 pm Link Becks wrote: See? I knew you'd love this one, Bex. Dec 07 12 01:04 pm Link I asked my wife what she wants.

When I was a kid, we had these Santa's Workshop thing (back when it wasn't offending the media to have christmas spirit), which was basically the school but with a holiday theme I would get SO EXCITED and my mom would give me money to pick out some stuff at the Santa's Workshop and every year I'd have to buy her at least TWO gifts, because "one to open RIGHT NOW, mommy! YOU'LL STILL HAVE THE OTHER ONE LATER!!" Patience: Not my strong suit I love when I can afford to go all out and get her lots of stuffs Last year and the year before, I had enough $$ left over to actually be able to get her stocking stuffers and a stocking, it was great. idk if I can do that this year though. Grak! Also, do you like cards? I'm obsessive, I have to find everyone the PERFECT one I love fancy ones the best but can't even afford them SADNESS. Dec 07 12 02:25 pm Link what are you getting me? I want a motorcycle. Dec 07 12 02:25 pm Link Head. Who doesn't like that?

Dec 07 12 03:08 pm Link DivaEroticus wrote: Dec 07 12 03:09 pm Link Ive made three baby/family quilts that are sort of baby/christmas gifts since theyre so close to christmas. I made someone else something else as a joke, but they dont have it yet so I cant talk about it cuz they dont know theyre getting it. Im buying my mother and step father their wedding prints when theyre done I took my sisters dog to get his portrait taken with santa the other day, Im getting it printed and sticking it in a ridiculous frame. She wont be getting to my moms until after christmas and im already back in canada so Im leaving it as a surprise. Its stupid but she'll find it funny. None of us have any money so we do stupid things for each other. She knitted me an owl thing that I found on tumblr. And I havent a goddamn clue what to do for my boyfriend. more quilts...

He likes the practical gifts. 2) The safe: the newest book in the Dresden files- which he has every single book of (he's banned from making purchases for himself for the entire month, so it's safe). 3) The best Zombie paper shooting targets. He has to keep up with his shooting as a law enforcement officer and practicing stuff gets pricey. Plus we LOVE the Walking Dead and he is into zombies. Now he can practice for the zombie apocalypse! Everyone else is getting epic baked goods. Thats. It. Dec 07 12 04:07 pm Link Bek Ruszin wrote: deal Dec 07 12 04:27 pm Link heh. hehehe. hehehahahaha... so like, NEVER get santa portraits done at walgreens, even if theyre just supposed to be stupid pictures of your dog. They cant handle it. They REALLY cant handle it. I hope to god nobody else went in to try to get a serious portrait taken because...its awful I just picked up my prints. none of us (me, the dog, or santa) are in focus, theyre sideways and the ceiling wasnt cropped out. Its a really good thing that I think this makes it even more funny.

Dec 07 12 07:44 pm Link What a great thread I just started shopping. I'm getting a really late start this year But I got this for my sister and her boyfriend I got my step mom a vintage looking necklace and my sister in law some dangley earrings, a pooping penguin, and penguin duct tape. And that's about it so far.

Dec 08 12 12:46 am Link i'm feeling extra generous this year, so i've decided to give every attractive female model on mm a free nude photoshoot.
