Christmas lists: Who's got one, who's got theirs done? Share ideas!

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...

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.

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.

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

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

Don't have to many people to buy for

Sister: Pink Cannon camera, and everything you could possibly need for it and a prepaid mastercard
Mom: Probably an E-Reader + accessories...and trip to somewhere
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

pretty basic this year and I like it

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

I am DONE DONE my Christmas shopping... And I have to buy for my 3 siblings, my brothers gf, my boyfriend, his parents, his sister, 2 of my friends and my friends 3 kids.

I won't post what I got just in case of by some fluke of luck someone sees it... plus... my bf is on here hahaha sucker :P

^^^ I bet his eyes got a bit wider in anticipation of reading what he got ...



Only to be let down at the last minute :chuckle

HEY HEY... hahaha No one will be disapointed this year! :P

wife - down sleeping bag
sister - martha stewart cookie book
sister 2 - knit her some baby booties and cap for her coming kid. plus hot air popcorn popper
mom - new knife set
dad - got his snapon tool case re-powdercoated
bro - yamaha bike jacket from the show
bro 2 - denon headphones
mil - ???
fil - blockbuster giftcards
best friend - new sled studs.

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.

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

Thank you! PMed.

You've been a good boy lol

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?!
