My mum and her hubby are a lot better off than us and I find that quite hard but was thinking maybe tickets to a gig or show.
Not sure what to get hubby but have wondered about sorting xbox live out for him and the boys but not sure what this entails really!
Other people we just get token gifts really and all thus will depend on what moneys available and at the moment thats not a lot!
I would like the new kindle though if anyones asking
oh and theatre tickets always go down well with me too!
My sister rec'd theatre tickets as a gift, I think they were like a 'gift card' so she didn't need to use them on a particular show.
I love Christmas, I just love it all, I start getting excited in January, yep January, & have different levels of excitment throughout the year, I'm just a tad excited at the mo (too excited for my hols instead).
Anyhow, I get stockings for OH, DS, DD & her boyfriend, my brother, my sister & her partner. In the stockings will be various things, which always includes, a chocolate santa (Christmas isnt' complete without one), underwear for DD & DS (DS likes Hugo Boss
), & I'll get OH some socks & boxers; this year DS & DD both moved out & DD would like some 'nice' food items in her stocking so both children have got a more expensive honey (how dear is honey these days), Aero drinking chocolate, marshmallows (for drinking choc), oh I went to Twinings shop & bought some drink stuff, can't remember what it is at the mo. I'll pick up other food related items as I go about my usual shop. My brother, sister & her partner will get similar items but not quite as much.
We've got 5 nieces & nephews they all get money, but I make a cracker & Christmas box, inside the box is their money, party popper, christmas chocs & something else small, in the cracker is a 'token' gift usually lippy for the girls & shave gel/oil for the boys.
I also make crackers for OH, DS, DD & her boyfriend, brother, sister & her partner.
My mum, step dad, dad & step mum usually get items like 'special' bath/nail/sweeties. But this year we've had the Preston Guild & muy dad now lives in London, so I'm going to get him a guild cup, guild ground coffee & perhaps a guild book.
As you may have noticed I do like my holidays, so for the last few years me & OH have just go each other a stocking & put money in the holiday pot, which suits me just fine.
I'll ask my sister & her partner what they want. DS & DD will get money & I'm thinking I'll get DD boyfriend a nice t-shirt.
DDs boyfriend has a 3 year old son (we are now nannie Michelle & grandad Bob
) so 'grandson' will get a small stocking which includes, dinosaur choc biscuits, dinosaur socks, dinosaur underpants, a fireman sam t-shirt (ha, ha I bet you thought it was going to be dinosaur) we'll also buy him a small gift, for not more than £20.
