[SilentJay]

I don't have many people to shop for, but haven't really done any of it, nor do I know what to get for a few of them... Stupid final exams are really cramping my schedule too, so it'll be another race down to the wire this year :chuckle


* GF: new gen 64gb iPod touch
* Sister: ???
* Brother-in-law: Simple guy - fed his addiction by getting him huge quality street chocolates... Sister is none-too-pleased :chuckle
* Mom: ??? - Maybe a new prepaid Telus phone...
* Dad: ???
* Boss: Anything with alcohol in it
* Gift exchange 1 ($30): ???
* Gift exchange 2 ($15): ???

If you guys have any ideas, please share :P I don't have enough brain power left to think of innovative gifts anymore.

For gift exchanges under $20 I always like to go for the easy options like the amount in cash or scratch tickets. Liquor is always well received too.

Good idea - I'll probably get taunted for lack of creativity though! :chuckle


D'oh, forgot, I should probably get something for the guys who work under me. Something cheap...

[crono06]

At my work place, lots of ppl give Bath and Body Works stuff. Seriously, we probably provided them with half their sales for that day lmao.

[Default User]

i hate giving lotto tix
Not sure how I'd feel if they won the big prize with the ticket I gave them.

prepaid iTunes card went on sale at Walmart. You get 3 $10 cards for $25.

When I gotta be cheap on a gift, I usually cross border and pick up stuff you cant get here.
last year I bought a bunch of chocolates that arent available here. Cost me $10 for 3 bags of m&m's but the person that got them really appreciated it.

[crono06]

Last week at FS, they were $40 for a $50 card.

walmart would be the better deal then 30/25 = 60/50

premium coffee and or tea sets. If the person likes coffee or tea they'll love it, and it can work for any price range. $15 1lb of ground organic coffee, or some fancy jasmine tea. $20- $100 nice tea brewing set (personal size tea pot with permanent loose tea filter and matching cup.

stuff like that could work

Brother in law: bottle of jack (was told not to give him one though lol) probably a gift card as well
Aunt and Uncle: Tim Cards

another good tea place is "the tea emporium" various locations
and for coffee "the green beanery"

[FoXy]

[SilentJay]

[FoXy]

[SilentJay]

I think i've found the perfect gift for my sister and my new-born nephew :D Only problem is, it's super-pricey... Anyone here work at Future Shop? I'd like to get a cost price *check* on something. I have a friend who works at Best Buy who will get the item for me, but he doesn't have an accurate check on FS staff pricing apparently, since Best Buy doesn't sell this item.

[TheMaterial]

what is it? I'll check it for you. Just pm me.

[SilentJay]

Thank you! PMed.

[prinsesa]

Perfect timing lol I just finished my list ahaha!
Buying the Mommy a Canada Goose Expedition Parka or a Danier Leather Coat, compost pails from Crate and Barrel and a Winners gift card
Buying the friends Sephora's 18 Piece Nail Colour Set, bareMinerals Bright Now Kit, Sq1's Gold Certificate Gift Card x I Dont Know (lol)
Buying the bf's Mommy a few things from Crate and Barrel and probably a gift certificate for groceries =P
Bought the bf 2 advance Ultra AVX tickets to Tron (he has to go with me!!!), 2 tickets to the Raptors vs Miami game for him and 1 of his buddies and a watch

Starting my shopping today..lol *walks under a cloud of shame*

I would suggest buying a gift from a store that the person shops at the most, because you can get a gift certificate and if they want something else from teh store (they will most of the time), they can just exchange the gift :D

And I am getting Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Make up, Miss Dior Cherie, Chocolate Mini Uggs, Chestnut Short Uggs, a few Shiseido and Clinique products for muhself!!..w00t!

BTW..what HST rebate?!

[bubba1983]

im cancelling christmas...won't get any dissability money before then...

[Default User]

im cancelling christmas...won't get any dissability money before then...

i remember when I had absolutely no income during christmas time.
I sold some stuff (discman, CD's, etc) and bought my family gloves, a scarf and a toque at the Dollar store. It killed me that I couldnt get anything better or more expensive, but definitely had to give them something for supporting me during a bad time

[bubba1983]

i hear ya...the 'rents get first cut, prolly dip into the o'l line o credit for em

[DumpInfo]

Most chicks love going to the salon so I dont think it's a bad idea.

And then your mom and sisters can go together, which is even more fun :D

[prinsesa]

What else can I get for ladies other than Spa/Nails gift card??

18 Piece OPI by Sephora Mini Nail Set, I think its $40-$45 (1 OPI nail polish is actually $12!!!) And they will like this if they go to a salon and spa.
Oh! And Sephora will gift wrap this for you for free, the boxes and ribbons are pretty.

And make-up (Sephora has value sets and M.A.C has the Tartan Tales collection out right now) or fragrance, I just picked up a $130 "value set" (lol) for the Miss Dior Cherie perfume, it comes with a white jewellry box, purse spray (that kinds reminds me of Chanel's quilted bags), 100mL and body milk :D

[Default User]

[PCLoadLetter]

Girl: Massive coach purse
Dad: New putter and a dozen titleist pro v1's
Mom: Roots PJ's and sheepskin slippers
Bro: Blue Mountain 5x7
Sis: $200 cash (no idea what to get her haha)

[Default User]

back from the dead - because I need to start shopping this weekend :bang

[kjmckenz]

Love my Xmas shopping list:

Mom: 4 new winter tires from tires23 $460
Myself: BT head unit (from another forum member) $100

No dad, no siblings, no gift exchanges at work.

I won't lie, I also bought a couple knick knacks so that under the tree doesn't look so bare this upcoming week, but it all didn't end up costing me more than $20.

If it helps any, I'm all for gift cards. If you have only an idea of what the recipient likes, give them a gift card for a related store or restaurant or venue.
Example: I love concerts - a Ticketmaster GC would be awesome for me to get from someone... Except that I don't exchange gifts with anyone except mom. :P

[SilentJay]

LoL bumping my old thread from the crypt :p coincidentally, i need a gift idea for my sister. Shes filthy stinkin loaded and has everything she could ever want....

[hyper7boy]

GF: Sigma 18-200mm OS lens for Canon and HOYA lens filter
Dad: Clothes, Modern Family Season 1, Calvin klein Cologne
Mom: 10" Sony D-1000 digital photo frame and 4GB graphics card
Sis: $60 iTunes music cards, $15 App store card, CSI season 2

I'm pretty happy with the list but I am still looking to get my sis a little something extra just for being so good to me all year round. I am not looking to spend much more... maybe $60 or so. Any ideas?

[aris]

I finshed mine at the end over November

my side of the family decided (for the adults) we're going to do a gift exchange. But we cant give cash, lotto tix, gift certificates, etc. It has to be a boxed gift. The onus is on us to make it a thoughtful gift (under $100)

in-laws side was easier for me - cause I really couldnt give a shit what I got them. "here's a wallet for you, here's a sweater for you, a picture frame for you", and "oh thanks for the waffle iron. I always wanted one" (/sarcasm)

[SomeGuy]

Sister #1: Slowcooker
Sister #2: Waffle Maker
Mom: Kobo eReader Touch
Dad: Dewalt 18v Lithium Impact Driver and Hammer Drill Kit

[Slade]

I give out hugs!!

ok and maybe some gifts :P , to bad I suck at shopping lol.

The mall and me only see each other for 2 things, a hair cut, or xmas shopping. Other then that, I can't stand going.

Started my shopping this week...just need to figure out the main gift for the girl yet.

[SilentJay]

Years ago, I tried to make a christmas dinner for my family, in addition to gifts.





After we cleaned up the mess the fire extinguisher made, I ended up springing for Swiss Chalet.

[DumpInfo]

As for me only gift I do is my wife. All others don't celebrate Christmas so it's perfect :D

I'm planning a trip away somewhere warm, 30c+ weather, 4/5 star resort and who knows what else. That's the plan...now to keep it from her is the hard part!

[ElectroJay]

Here's my list:

Mom: red pocket
Dad: red pocket
Sis #1: 27" HP LED Monitor
Sis #2: Best Buy gift card and smthng else
Sis #2's husband: Another order of the above
Niece: Some kind of board that you can draw glowing 3D images on with Cars 2 branding (toys 'r us)
Nephew: Cars 2 racing ramp and something else
GF: Vegas trip
GF`s mom: something from Vegas, lol
Fem friend: Sephora gift card (gotta love the free vanity pocket mirror)

[Eddie81]

I don't know what it is if it's the weather or competition this year. Some of the houses look amazing.

[PCLoadLetter]

Gift cards are perfect for lazy shoppers such as myself.

Go to a certain type of store related to something your gift receiver enjoys and pick one up :thumbsup

[Slade]

Well TM3, its that wonderful time of year again,

Anyone ask for anything specific?

I already know what I am getting from my mom (vanity plates), dad I asked for a set of weathertech floor mats or money towards a new amp or DSLR.

I have no idea what the g.f got me, my birthday is a week before xmas so she spoiled me this year from what she has said. I think there might be a gopro in one of the boxes but could be completely wrong.

I did't ask for anything specific except the plates this year, so I am in for a complete surprise.

99% of my shopping is done already, just need to order a few parts of a site for my dads Harley if I can find one, and a few more things for the g.f. I managed to do all my shopping in 1 trip to 1 mall so far, go in for what you know you want to get someone and gtfo!

Anything I would like, is expensive, and I would rather by it myself (header ~500US, exhaust about the same...) I don't feel that I actually NEED anything.

Whats on everyones wish list this year?

[DumpInfo]

Not too long ago I picked up the Samsung Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 which I was craving for sometime now so that could very much be my christmas gift lol. As mentioned in the past my immediate family doesn't celebrate Christmas so all the spending is kept between us (which is awesome).

What she doesn't know yet but I got her a $2,000 gift card at Guess, and a $300 gift card at Victoria Secret :D

That pretty much sums up my gifts and the odd thing here and there for the house/ride.

[loki]

$2,000 gift card at Guess?

you italian?

[Thrizzl3]

$2,000 gift card at Guess?

you italian?

no...lol

[DumpInfo]

I'm asian come on! :chuckle

[Aitch]

Already got my gifts in the form of watches. Have to get something for the wife. Wouldn't mind upgrading the iPad on boxing day though.

[rawbz]

should've went with $2k to Victoria Secret and the $300 to Guess...

[eSS]

Any idea's on what to get a couple for christmas. They're the parents of of my god son and still young (both about 22-23), I'm terrible with gifts for couples. Any help would be appreciated

[peterm15]

A bottle.

A bottle.

So I hear... Pretty sure everyone will be getting them that

[peterm15]

True.

If they own a house, home depot gift card always comes in handy. If not a visa gift card that way they can purchase what they want. Or something for their child.

Another idea would be a Costco membership.

[ZeroChalk]

GF - Muay Thai membership
Mom \
Dad / New Computer
Sister and Husband - gift for my niece
Me - Plane ticket

[Ogata]

i'm stumped....gold necklace? Don't' know where I should go and get one.

[DumpInfo]

i'm stumped....gold necklace? Don't' know where I should go and get one.

Have you considered birks? A lil pricey but nice things.

[mathew.poulos]

i'm stumped....

Go to shoppers:
1. Buy a robe
2. a basket
3.hand the prettiest girl that works there your debit card. Give her your budget, and by the end your GF will have the best gift she could have ever imagined.

Then in the new year your give her a "Night Off" to enjoy all her new stuff and come out to a TM3 Meet:chuckle

[eSS]

Ended up getting them a photo album. They had a child 6 months ago and they all love taking pictures so I figured that would work best. Also got them some nice frames for the special ones. All along with a bottle of grey goose. Lol

[Jsquared]

I got a call from my dad last night, probably the best call I have ever gotten at Xmas from him.

Dad: Now that you're in your 30s I really have no idea what to buy you guys for xmas. What electronics do you need?
Me: no worries dad, were old enough now we do not need crazy gifts. The basics are fine.
Dad: Ok let's make this easy for your old man, where do you buy your car mods from? Will they know you're car if I ask them what you need?
Me: Ill send you a list.
Dad: don't go getting ridiculous on me

Gotta love the old man still trying to play Santa at 60. Trust me when I say these gifts will say from Santa. Now I have to decide on whether to finish out the MZ skirt package or look at new rims or painting existing.

Now what to buy my wife of 13 years.....

[Aitch]

Now what to buy my wife of 13 years.....

13th anniversary gift is officially "Lace".....

[Ogata]

Have you considered birks? A lil pricey but nice things.

She is interested in Rose Gold...I don't wanna go to Tiffany's since she already told me no more from there

HMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm

[peterm15]

At hwy 7 and keele there is a jeweler ( in the big plaza beside concord pets.)

He will allow you to design jewelry, set your price, and he'll do it up for you.

I designed a ring for my ex there. White gold with 1 black diamond and 2 rubys. ( he actually liked the design so much he brought one in to sell in his store )

My dad has been going to him for years for jewelry for my mom and repairs. He is also a wholesaler. So stuff is a little cheaper.
