Only a few more days before the holiday gift-giving season officially closes, so thought I would give an update on how I did - and maybe provide a few last minute ideas!
I did okay on my budget... due to my grand plan to stagger giving and use credit card rewards for some of it... plus Macy's was giving away merchandise in a depressing display of retailing desparation. But I'm still looking for one last Hanukkah gift which I clearly need to remedy before the final nights. Any ideas???
For the Whole Fam: some great olive oil, and new holiday ornaments
For the parents collectively: Theater tickets at their favorite spot
Mom: cake stand and topper, a gift package of an assortment of spices
Dad: tie, shirt & cashmere sweater (boring i know, but that's what he wants...)
Brother: a portable solar charger and Itunes Gift Card
Friends: Argentina souvenirs!
And finally, the Guy: Handmade Book of Poems, a pineapple slicer (he asked for it!), a 30 min massage “certificate” (from me), a bottle of really really nice scotch, a cute tie I found on sale at PINK, the Paris J’Taime DVD (Movie we saw on our first date), a few Brooks Brothers clothes/sweaters
Seems like a lot, but it's only 7 gifts... and I don't make the rules, there are 8 nights! He comes home tomorrow and I'm desparate to get something good - something thoughtful, and personal, but not too terribly expensive... so if happen to be a guy reading this, about to enter your fourth decade, and have found at least one of those gifts above remotely apealing, please respond and tell me what you would love!
