How's your holiday shopping going?

I've gotten something for my sister, but I don't know what my parents want. Anyone have any ideas as to what a pair of adults in their forties would want (besides a break from their kids)?

Do they eat out anywhere? Maybe a gift certificate to a restaurant that they like might be an idea. If they drink coffee maybe one of those new gift cards to Dunlin Donuts might be a good stocking stuffer.

Your Welcome and you know what? I think that you can get those gift cards at Walgreens drug store. They have one card with like 4 or 5 different restaurants on it and Olive Garden is one of them.

I just started my holiday shopping this morning. Trying to find a mug to replace my mom's favorite one that was chipped last month. I'm hoping it's on the net somewhere, especially considering you can apparently buy a ghost these days.

Well I haven't bought my families gifts yet, but I know what I am getting them all. All i have to buy for is my mom dad and sister. I like to be creative when buying gifts for them. So last year im saying ot myself, well how has stephanie(my sis) treated me this year. I said well basically like crap. So i went to spencers and bought her a fake piece of crap .

Then, my dad is obsessed with Golf so i bought him exploding golf balls.

My mom got a movie.

This year im leaning towards getting my dad the fart pen or the dashboard jesus. cant decide yet.

I still need to buy a few things for my mom and dad. I also need to mail some things out soon. I'm going to a Christmas party this Thursday and need to wrap that gift too.

My parents and I always exchange lists and I always get them a few things not on their list. I love surprises.

Who doesn't love chocolate!? I hope I get some for Christmas. LOL I made my dad this lame plastic tree with lil decorations on it a long time ago and put candy in it for him...it's become tradition that I buy candy for his lil tree every year.

I love getting gift cards, even though some people think it's lame or unthoughtful. I would rather buy things I want/need, than get stuff I don't like/want and have to give it away. My aunt gives everyone a gift every year and it's VERY thoughtful of her, but 99% of the gifts, I don't want. LOL

Exactly! My friend called me last night while she was at one of the malls and asked me what I wanted. I told her right out a gift card to Target or Best Buy please. I did not want an article of clothing, I really don't like that. I would rather have a gift card that I can put towards a photo printer or my digital camera media then a sweater.

I always get some kind of clothing from my cousin and I just want to say please just give me a gift card. Even a CVS gift card I can use!

I'm not buying gifts, I don't think. maybe some small ones for the people at work, just cause everyone does that. But everyone got everyone else bottles of wine last year, so it's just a gesture...I had sooo much wine! but i got everyone little bags of good coffee from the free trade coffee place by my house, instead of wine. My parents haven't asked me what i want, but when they do, i'm going to say the Mirage tour video. It's on Amazon, and i don't have the whole thing. That's after i say..."you don't have to buy anything for me!!!"...

I also need to mail some things out soon

So, do I. I went on a wild goose chase last week at Walgreen's. They had Xmas mailers on sale and I had to go to 4 different stores before I could find them.
Of course the stuff is nowhere ready to be mailed out yet.
