What did you buy for Christmas gifts? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 12-22-2005, 11:53 AM

The kids in the family got toys and plenty of them.

I bought my new niece a growth chart for her room. It's custom-made and engraved with her name.

Most of the adults got gift cards to either Macy's or their favorite restaurant.

I bought the pets of our loved ones each a toy and a bag of treats.

My mother-in-law got her favorite perfume and a Christmas flower arrangement delivered.

I gave my husband a gift certificate to an online coin store. He collects coins. I also subscribed him to two new magazines. American History and The Civil War. He already has World War II and The History Channel magazines delivered.

I gave my aunt a gift card for Stop & Shop.

I bought our new kitten Lily some cool toys.

I always give Hallmark calendars too.

Right now I've just gotten my Mom her a c.d. she's been wanting, my Dad a gift certificate to his favorite steakhouse, my Grandma a fuzzy throw blanket for her couch, and my grandma's fiance a personal calendar.

*MIBabe03* · 12-22-2005, 05:06 PM

For my sister, I bought her a University of Michigan hoodie (practically impossible to find in TX), and a Fall Out Boy shirt. For my boyfriend, I'm framing a picture of he and I together. My parents didn't want anything this year.

YoliUSA · 12-22-2005, 05:33 PM

Well, since I don't work I really couldn't buy anything. The only gift I bought was a perfume for my mom.

Dutabi84 · 12-22-2005, 05:52 PM

Not much, we do a gift exchange with the siblings, so I only had to buy one gift for my brother, which was a Simon gift card. Also got a movie for the nieces, and I still gotta get something for my mom - probably a gift certificate to one of the restaurants she goes to. My group of friends don't really get gifts for each other, which is kind of nice to not have to worry about.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 12-22-2005, 10:56 PM

I kind of went overboard this year.

I bought everyone in my family an ISU tshirt...even the little kids. So that's 11 tshirts...

My mom got that, 3 other shirts, a box of Sweet and Low (don't ask), some earrings, and an earring holder.

For my dad I got 3000 Miles to Graceland, a Kiss dvd, some shirts, 2 Sudoku books, and a giant crossword puzzle.

I got them both a $50 gift certificate to a fancy restaurant.

For my favorite aunt, I got her 2 shirts and some Bath and Body works stuff.

My grandma who lives with me got a watch and a candle.

My other grandma got some Bath and Body Works stuff.

My grandpa got the book Angels and Demons.

My little cousin got a Hello Kitty coloring book, crayons, and some Hello Kitty hair stuff.

For my secret santa at school, I got a purse, a 20 Questions game, a hat, and a scarf.

And everyone else in my family just got an ISU shirt.

It seems like I forgot stuff....I dont know.

MaydayMalonesGirl · 12-22-2005, 11:03 PM

I bought my dad a CD and my mother some socks and a photobox. That's it. I need to get something for my sister, but yeah. She wants me to get her a fake-bake gift certificate but I have no desire to spend 50 dollars so she can go tanning in December. I don't understand that concept.
