Christmas 2008: Gift List So Far. Sound Good?
July 6, 2010 Bird House Feeder
We’ll be getting married next month so this will be our first Christmas as a married couple. =] Anyways, this is who’s on the list this year & ideas of gifts for them.
-My dad: 1 lb. pistachios [we used to always get them at Christmas, then kinda stopped], gift card to Barnes & Noble,…[not finished with him yet, he's so hard to buy for]
-My mom: gift card to Wild Birds Ultd. [she loves birds & has a ton of feeders], pajamas, Nisim shampoo & conditioner [her hair has been thinning & she's been freaking out about it]
*I will also be making cookies & homemade bread to take to their house for Christmas
-My Grandma: night lights that automatically turn on when it gets dark [she lives alone & walks around in the dark at night, not good.], & this cute book called, "Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories" where its filled with questions that she could write in her memories for that question. [like, "Have you ever had bad experiences with storms?"]
Both of my nieces: Travel cosmetic type bags with notes to use when they come visit me =]
Nephew: some kind of toy, haven’t decided
Brother & his wife: cookbook, jar filled with homemade hot cocoa mix & mugs
Fiance’s mom: Wood Wick Candle, pointsetta, address book filled with all the address she gave me for the wedding & doesn’t have in an address book
His grandma: Maltese dog calendar [she has a maltese & is in love with it]
His 3 brothers: Homemade blankets [I had made them each one last Christmas & they loved them. But they had a house fire that destroyed pretty much everything so they were lost] & the two older ones are into their cars, so I’m thinking buckets filled with stuff for their cars [tire shine, wax, etc]. The youngest I’m not sure yet.
Fiance: camping stuff [we love camping & cant wait to go after we're married], distortion pedal [he's been wanting one], tie, new wallet, cologne, Calvin & Hobbes book [used to read those with his brothers, nice memories], massage oils & all that romantic fun stuff we wont get into. =]
*I’ll also be making lots of yummy Christmas cookies, etc
Thats what I have so far. I still have to come up with gifts for:
-2 Grandmas
-His dad
I’m starting shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I’m going to be one of those crazy ones =] I would start earlier but not with the wedding coming up, too crazy yet. I love Christmas, I’m so excited!!

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
i love the idea about the memory book for your grandma. where did you see that if you don’t mind me asking.
hey, i’ll be one of those crazies too. i can’t pass up the savings! you’ve got a nice list going. hopefully you can stick to yours. i always make a list and end up straying from it! i always have people on it i just can’t figure out what to get as well. i usually end up finding them something on my black friday shopping for a good price.
with the wedding and holiday hoopla, don’t forget to cherish your first christmas as husband and wife!
I think those ideas are great. You are getting gifts that you really put thought into and I think that is the best thing a person can do when giving gifts.
Well thought out! I’m sure they’ll be happy with what they get!
Sounds as if you have everything wrapped up! (pardon the pun). The homemade gifts sound lovely and I would stay with it, is his dad into anything? Hobby wise? Does he like gardening, animals, eco-friendly stuff? Do you make handmade chocolates, cakes or anything like that? That could be a suitable gift for the grandma’s, pretty cakes with sugar flowers on or something like that? Good luck with the wedding, it must be really exciting spending your first christmas together as a married couple. Congratulations and have a fabulous day, and a wonderful family christmas.
your list sounds so nice and thoughtful, I love Christmas also
You’ve really put a lot of thought into your list! That’s great. I may even steal some of those ideas from you.
I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t try to persuade you into a Gold Canyon Candle instead of Woodwick. Gold Canyon Candles are the strongest candles on the market and are truly amazing. They even have other fragrances items that don’t require a flame, like room sprays or scent pods and scent pod warmers, scented bookmarkers, auto fresheners, etc. which may be good for your other 2 grandmas and the auto fresheners are always good as stocking stuffers. If you’d like more info please let me know or check out my site.
Again, great list!!!!!
