What did everyone get their family, friends, Fh etc...........

yesss everyone loved what we got them. My mom got a GC to her nail salon and she got the Keurig Coffee maker that she wanted. My dad got a new jacket and a Miter Saw that he needed for work. My brothers got Foo Fighter tix and GC to Ruths Chris...all the things they wanted!!! I'm a good daughter/sister

unfortunately this year we couldn't get alot so we basically stuck with giving everyone 1 gift ...i think fh and i still did ok though...but we did go all out last year so its ok and we'll go all out next x-mas

for my mom-she doesnt like house things and is the pickiest person there is and getting her clothes or anything like that is hard although i usually do get her purses, shoes, sunglasses and coats...but one thing she really needed especially after this past weekend was a massage, she has a bad back and her back was out this weekend so i got her a gc to a spa so she can get a massage and she even said 'I LOVE IT its perfect' which is amazing for my mom bc she is a person who has a very hard time showing emotion and everyone always complains how she shows none when you give her a gift but thats just how she is, not in a bad way.

his mom collect those porcelain armani dolls(not georgio armani lol) and we got her that, and theyre not inexpensive

his dad a yankee jacket

my dad is obsessed with clothes and he fixed his closet up all nice and i remember once him saying he would want this, so i got him a motorized tie rack from sharper image, he did say something to us at first for even getting him something but we guaranteed we didnt spend alot

his brother asked for cash when we tried to get him something hahahaha so thats what he got and fh also got him sneakers

we also got his aunt and uncle some things.

mom - fancy salt and pepper grinder
cute espresso cup and saucer set
slippers
clothes

dad - emergency car kit with a huge flashlight and tools, which he loved soo much

lil sis - digital camera, lipstick, and memery card
