I need gift ideas....

For the couple who has EVERYTHING... both my sisters have everything they need for a house. I really want to get them a gift, not a gc for Christmas so I need some ideas..

Staying in the $50.00 range... any suggestions??

You can start a tradition, every year I buy my FMIL the Swarovski annual ornament. It's usually around $75 I think.

Maybe a Lenox ornament or Nativity piece?

the thing is.. they live in MD and come to NY for the holiday's I am not even sure they have their own trees! UGHH this is the only reason I hate Christmas I can never think of ANYTHING!!

I might use that idea for my step-mom though, thanks

edible is always good! wine? liquor sets?

highly recommend the vangogh flavored vodkas - you can drink them straight! (espresso, chocolate, etc)

my BIL did this for my mom and dad (well mostly mom bc dad doesn't really care) and he has been getting her the annual Swarovski ornament for 8 years now - she LOVES them - i think its a great idea!!

or maybe you can do something for their homes? Gadgets they may need/want?

How funny is this! I got them a plaque last year! Not channa, bc I didn't know they even existed but I got them a tavern style on for thier game room. I swear this is the hardest thing ever for me.

I *think* I am going to get my sister this cool Lenox Sake Set... she is into all that Japanese stuff.

The other sister... Maybe an Irish coffee, mug and serving set. All stainless steel and glass looked kinda cool. OR a good picnic basket/backpack thing her and her hubby go on hikes a lot

ooh. there is this awesome japanese departmetn-type store on 5th avenue. i cant think of the name, but they have tons of cool stuff

also, if you think they might be into tea...there are some tea shops in the city that do tastings (kind of like wine tastings, but with tea). i bought some gc as cmas gifts from my fam.

I'm sorry. I usually have a hard time with my sisters too. But this year we all agreed not to buy each other gifts since we're all kind of strapped for cash. My oldest sister brought it up to me last night and it was this HUGE burden lifted off my shoulders.

Mine text me asking me what Matt wanted I said I thought we were doing couples (the norm) she said well I got you something I wanna get Matt something. Then said not to worry about her and her DH they know we are trying to save and all. I can't do that... Although I am not going crazy with stocking stuffers and all like I usually do.
