Holiday Gift Ideas

[Xaerve]

I'm going nuts trying to find stuff this year!

Anyone have any good ideas?

Looking for...

My Mom/Dad, 20-24 year old sisters/brothers.

I'm tired of getting them random clothing items or some generic shit from bath and body works... or even worse, my mom another candle set.

Make cookies or buy giftcards.

Actually for mom and pop, I picked up a new coffee maker to replace their ancient coffee pot system. It doesn't use a pot, it just dispenses coffee from the actual brewing station, and circulates water to keep coffee fresher, longer.

For your young sisters I suggest giving the attractive ones my number.

Good idea on the coffee thing, I'm going to look into that. Do you have a link?

Just grabbed this for one of my brothers. Pretty fucking cool little device. It allows you to use wind/solar power to charge a battery that can then charge other devices (ipod, etc.)

I think you should buy everyone on your list the flesh light.

My boyfriend's mother got him one of those, one year. She sells sex toys as a hobby. XD

Since it's only the wife's side that celebrates and I always insist on no one getting me anything .... I'm a fan of baking and confections.

Fudge is probably the easiest thing to make and I usually pack an assortment of chip cookies, macaroons, brownies. This year I'm trying my hand at truffles as well.

Of course ... that's only a good idea if you like spending hours in the kitchen. Though, you can never go wrong with food ... even if you buy it.

My fiance and I got my parents a Wii for Christmas, plus a couple of silly games like Wii Play and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. They aren't gamers or anything, but we're sure they'll enjoy it.

If you feel like hooking me up, too, that'd be cool. I need a Wii and NiGHTS like there's no tomorrow.

We're using credit card points to get gift cards for major family members, depending on where they like to shop-- supplementing that with baked goods (I'm making tins of petit four varies, only slightly smaller and probably just like, thumbnail snickerdoodles and chocolate chip). I'm also giving out jars of my mint tarragon lemonade syrup since I am always harassed for it over the summer. I've borrowed a huge pot from my friend and am just gonna simmer up a couple gallons to dole out, probably will be attaching the recipe/mix ratio onto the jar after I put on a nice label.

I know that my gift is going to be a new KitchenAid professional stand mixer to replace my little artisan one, and Mike'll probably throw in some other stuff (likely all baking related, ha)

I'm getting him a Wii and some other electronic stuff, as well as a few poker books he's been eying. Probably a new wallet and some nice gloves too.
