I bought my mother some Christmas tree ornaments today, but I have to think of something practical to give her also. I'm thinking slippers or wash cloths or kitchen towels.

So far I have got:

My husband a flash for his DLSR camera, a LEGO ideas book (although I'm thinking of returning that and buying it online where I have found I can get it almost £10 cheaper!) and some slippers, dressing gown, socks, aftershave, a christmas chocolate tray.

My little brother: A silly string gun
My little nephew: A silly string gun
My little brother-in-law: A magic trick set

All of my childrens toys and stocking fillers.

I need to buy for:

My mum
My mum's partner
My sister
My sisters-in-law (3 of them)
My mother-in-law
My father-in-law and his partner
My other nephews (2 of them)
My little sister
My big brother

I'm umming and erring over whether to buy for:

My Nan
Aunt
Cousins
Friends

I usually do but we're short of money this year.... I'm thinking maybe small token gifts like choccies.

I'll probably pick up a few more bits for hubby and the girls, too. So much to do, so little time (and money!) to do it with!

Wow - Christmas mama - you've got alot done! I have cut WAY back on gift exchanging over the last few years. No longer exchange with brothers, sisters of their spouses (11 of them). Also don't exchange anymore with nieces or nephews (also 11 of them)as they are all adults. I do buy for my grand-niece, my Mom, Mother-in-law, husband, two daughters, and daughter's boyfriends (if any exist at Christmas time). I no longer work, so that cuts out another 5 or 6 gifts for my staff and co-workers! Here is what I've purchased so far (Not much, but it's a start):

Daughter #1: a black dressy shirt and an ornament for her collection. Still need to buy her a nightgown, jewelry, a DVD, tires for her car and a large gift card

Daughter #2: a nightgown, a shot glass display case (she has a large collection), an ornament, and teeth whiteners. I still need to get her a very expensive body oil, some Ugg boots, a pair of jeans and a requested gift card.

Husband: Haven't even started, but I plan to get him a shirt, jeans, a new light fixture for the kitchen and sneakers.

Grand-niece: a little doll, an outfit and a personalized ornament

Mom and Mom-in-law: Haven't the faintest idea what to get them

Boyfriends: We'll see who's around at Christmas time!!! LOL
