DH, my stepson and I are going out to my aunts house tomorrow. Here is my dilemma, My aunt lives with her 'girlfriend' and her girlfriends five kids. My aunt is sorta their second mom. I don't really know the kids well, met them a few times. Do you think I should pick something small up for them for Christmas?? I am pretty sure my aunt is going to have a gift for me and DH and possibly my stepson, and I got my aunt something (framed wedding pic of her and I, she is my godmother) but no one else. I feel like it will be really awkward if we show up with nothing and they have gifts for us. I am really short on cash, but would rather be safe than sorry. Do you think I should get something?? I had an idea, that would be inexpensive. I was going to go get 5 stuffed animals and attach a five dollar gift card to Blockbuster on each one. Does that sound ok? Just a little something. What do you think? Is a gift necessary? And if so, do you think the gift card is a good idea? I thought they could all go and get their own movie?? Thanks!! I hate being put in these awkward situations!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

I think the blockbuster gift idea is perfect.

i agree that it's a great idea. They'll have a little something to hold onto, and blockbuster gift cards are always useful! I'm sure with 5 kids it's difficult to agree on the same movie!

I work for blockbuster and they sell gift tags..there is five in a pack and there is a whole in them so you could put string or something through it and hang it around there neck..that is really a cute idea

Instead of the stuffed animal, what if you made them stuff from Blockbuster. Get them each the big bucket of popcorn, some candy and th gift card.
