Christmas goodies...whadja buy?

[Grab]

We've only done a bit of shopping for Clive so far. His birthday is ten days before Christmas, so we'll have to do gifts for both

Thus far he has some books and a little toddler sized rocking horse. We got foam blocks, but gave them to him already on a particularly fussy day, lol.

Nothing, lol.

I'm placing an order on amazon for my mom tonight. No idea what to get my dad.

Me and my siblings aren't exchanging gifts this year - instead we are buying gifts for someone who doesn't have anyone or has fallen on tough times. Our family friend works at the Sheriff's office and is planning on giving us information. Last year my brother gave a 8-10 y/o boy the best Christmas ever and it was awesome

Going shopping on Friday. Planning on getting Harleigh some things and my secret santa some treats/toys as I've only got like 2 things so far, which are for the human. LOL.

Then Saturday is my town's annual Christmas on the Square and I'll probably pick some things up from there (it is mainly local stuff).

I feel the pain when he gets older.

That said, his birthday is 2 days before mine

Oh great, thanks for the reminder that my dad's birthday is 3 days before Christmas.

I'm going to get him a stuffed animal or something, he'd probably be thrilled.

GENIUS. I have a ton of cookie tins I have collected over the years. Just small ones that are like $1 or $2. I bought them with the idea that if I gave them to people with cookies and didn't get them back it wouldn't be a disaster since they only cost a couple of bucks. I think I am going to do that this year, especially with my gift card people.

Love the cookie idea

My mom swears by putting a slice of bread in the cookie tin with the cookies to keep them moist

Another thing I am thrilled about with my spending habits this holiday season... I've made at least half of what I've spent on Hannah back by selling her old stuff on a lancaster yard sale website. I've got to get rid of some stuff anyway to make room for the new stuff so why not make a buck or two lol. Not selling them for much but a couple bucks here and there is kind of nice and it's helping pay for all her new goodies lol

Forgot that we got him two of the giant plus microbes from Think Geek as well. Who doesn't love buy one get one free sales, lol.

Count me in on that group! It works SO FREAKING WELL. That's about the only use I ever have for the heels of bread.
