Im 16 and a job is hard to come by, especially in my small town. So far Im completely done shopping for one person, my brother’s girlfriend.
Here’s what I have so far and what each person is ‘into’
My mom- two expensive lipsticks she wanted. Shes kind of easy to please. Im not sure
My dad- a picture frame and a really beautiful picture of the two of us. He’s the redneck hunting and fishing guy
my brother- weight-lifting gloves. hes the same as my dad
other brother- racquetball balls. He likes hunting too and hes athletic..ish
sister-in-law- phase 10 plying cards. I got nothin
And finally,
nephew- He loves pretzels so I was going to get him a bag of pretzels. He’ll be 11 months by Christmas
I was thinking maybe burning CD’s for everyone?
Let me know if you think of anything. Thank you!
I think burning a CD is a great idea.
It evokes a lot of thought on the giver that they took the time to create something personal.
Anybody can go out and buy a gift, personal gifts like that is more meaningful.
You can have a lot of fun creating the covers for the cases.
As for the brother’s girlfriend, it depends on what she’s into. If she’s into coffee, I’ve given expresso cups with homemade biscotti as gifts or a Starbucks travel mug with a Starbucks gift card in it.
If she has an Ipod, an iTunes gift card of your personal cd she can download.
You can do a themed gift. Is she into books? How about a bookstore gift card in a basket filled with a pretty tea cup or coffee mug, flavored coffee or tea with the gift card tucked in.
You can make a movie night basket with popcorn, toppings, candy and a Blockbuster gift card.
Hope this helps.
well a homemade gift says more than running around the country trying to buy a gift.. homemade gifts are more personalized showing you cared enuff to make something for them.. Merry Xmas!
