grass_tiger Posted December 26, 2006 Author Posted December 26, 2006 I think it is great to give homemade gifts. :) This year most people just got gift certificates from me. They seemed to like them though. :)
.Dan. Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I gave some Chocolate Almonds and Sparkling Grape Juice to a friend, and a poster to my cousin...
Fuzio Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Got my boyfriend a PS2 game and 2 DVD's. I don't really celebrate Christmas.
grass_tiger Posted December 27, 2006 Author Posted December 27, 2006 Fuzio, do you celebrate any other holiday this time of year? We don't celebrate Christmas at all, but we celebrate Hanukkah - that is why I said Holiday rather than a specific one. If you don't that is ok too. There are plenty of times to celebrate through the year. Hope your boyfriend enjoyed his gifts. :)
Samuel Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Well. My mum got some bubble baths, shampoo stuff, bath salts, and all that. And some diabetic chocolate. Mum's partner got an A4 sized calculator :D It's hilarious. "For his eyes". He's getting older, bless him, at 53...so he needed a massive calculator xD He got some choccies too. Brother got an England 2007 annual (football) and some choccies. Stepbrothers got choccies, and one also got a mini Pirate set...with like, plastic axe, eyepatch, etc. Gran got a big box of expensive biscuits, auntie got some bath stuffs, cousins got some sweets. Most friends got a tube of sweets, some got something nice - Soph and Avril got some earrings, Minchin and Jlo got a keyring. Liv got a pimpstick - a big walking stick, with "PIMP" written in diamonds on it xD - and Joe got a DVD. Everyone got a lolly in their cards, too. :P
WEVIL Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I gave to my friend a box of chocolates and a purse. I have a glass jar of 700 cranes on my desk but I don't know who to give that to yet...
.Dan. Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Ahem, if you pay P+H I know someone in NZ who'd gladly take them....it'd be for a good cause...
Eric Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I'm not much in the Christmas spirit, either. :yes: BUT. I got mum and dad bamboo, and just gave everybody else (who asked for it) cash. :P
.Dan. Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 What kind of bamboo? The tinned,edible sort, or kick-butt sticks?
Eric Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 The boring little plant that's supposed to be lucky. =/ I'm not into the whole 'superstition' thing, but mum and dad are. :yes:
.Dan. Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Ooooh,like when Chinese people put that small flat plant at each doorway,symboling luck or wealth or something?
Mini-Chan Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 ive given a gift card to my mom, i gave money to my sister, umm something else...xD
Chipmonker Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Earrings for my mom, a new driver for my Dad and some Spa stuff for my sister. And now that I actually think about it -- it was really cliche.
sinn7 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 umm my brother and I got our dad a book that we later found out wasn't actually a novel but more one guy's opinion of a load a little things -.-' I don't think he liked it I contributed to the price of my mom's gold necklace I got my brother a soccerball shaped squishy cushion thing since he's always wrecked I got one of my friends a 20 questions toy (even though she's 15...but she loved it!) The rest of them mostly got bath stuff, purses and/or cool stationary I got all my little (well not that little...) 1st years lollipops...would have gotten them more but there's 24 of them!
The Nova ROX Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I got my best friend 2 mini i-Dogs. I got my mom one of those sweet cookie cakes, (here).
buzz Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 My sisters and I saved up enough money to buy my dad a ping-pong table. He has wanted one for ever. He was so happy.
