I got a couple of touch-screen type hand held games for my nephews (10 & 13 yrs).

I got my Grandma a gift certificate for the mall (she's there all the time)

I do need help in what to get my mom & dad. They are old and seem to have everything they need.

 

[Paulo]

Okay more seriously, it really depends on what she is like. A better description might help us out more.

I LOVE getting cozy new sheets for my bed. That's not something I'll usually get for myself. I also love fluffy new towels and girly bath stuff. Yum!!

Another fun gift is a nice martini shaker with martini glasses. What girl doesn't like new picture frames-- especially with a picture of you and your honey together. Hmmmm....I like getting people books too.

I had the same problem with my parents. Now I get them gift certificates to really nice/exotic restaurants that they normally wouldn't go to on their own.

 

[danielson]

well she's into cleaning so she'll probably love the vacuum cleaner paulo, lol

she likes cooking for me

she's getting into martial arts and weights but only through me...so that might seem like a gift for myself

she loves fashion and stuff (accesories especially like ear rings, hand bags and shit)

and she likes those girly things (IMO) like cuddly toys. and bhangra music.

I made this for my step-daughter's mother & step-dad last year:

Get a nice basket or tin & fill with crumpled up plastic or whatever to fill the bottom & top with Blockbuster gift card, small bottle of wine or champagne (her), a nice beer (him), popcorn, candy, homemade choc covered pretzels/cookies, , etc. She really liked it.

Or fill the same basket with bath oil, lotions, bath beads, wine, a book, a wine glass, a bath loofah or sponge....

Or for those who love coffee/tea get a tin & fill with a Xmas dish towel, Xmas coffee mugs, diff coffees, teas, sugar sticks, cookies, etc

getting my parents a gift certificate so my old man will take my mom somewhere and she wont bitch, getting my grandpa a winter front for his pick up, grandma a stool that says something about no place like grandma's, and taking my girl shopping and buying her some clothes,whatever she wants.

You should get her some nice lifting gloves! My bf got some for me a long time ago and it was a sweet gift.

Orgins makes some YUMMY lipglosses too that are tingly and taste like peppermint.

i already got her the nice gloves (nicer than mine anyway), damn my giving nature!

i'll definately buy the flavoured lip gloss....though maybe more for me (i can;t stand the taste of lipsalve)

i have some fatty hookups @ various levels of fash. industries... gifts I am giving this holiday: lots of monogrammed coach hats and scarves to girls i dont really know well enough to shop for. for sis's, moms etc... LV bags (they dont have to know i didn't pay retail) , girls like when i buy clothes for them, my sis always asks me what she should buy lol... girls, buy your guys some good jeans... i mean GOOD JEANS. The staple of any wardrobe.

 

[danielson]

a really nice gift idea would be a really good watch, some of the seiko kinetic ones look really good, but it needs to be a chronograph to look really good, the downside is they cost far too much

 

[Optimus B]

get your gf something from victoria's secret. anything from there will be a hell of a lot better than a pen (unless she's into that). but every woman i've ever known loves getting stuff from there.

 

[Heahy Minister]

Very simple idea that people will love since they can get their own things is a gift certificate at their favourite store.

Another good one is to get them a massage session or two. I got this once and let me tell you, one of the best gifts I could have ever received! Really who would not like a professional massage right! lol Or if they are into accupunture, aromatherapy or whatnot, those would be good as well.

Some nice expensive bed sheets, great idea!

I tend to stay away from buying anyone clothes. I'm much too picky myself to have someone buying my clothes for me, I wouldn't want to do it for someone else.

Well, my best friends birthday is two days before Xmas. He collects 1/18th scale car models ($25 each), and there are two he's been wanting for a while now, but couldn't find locally. I ordered them for him...but if I give him one on his Bday, he'd probably figure the other was coming for Xmas, so I'm saving those as his Xmas gift, and bought him a book for his Birthday.

I'm also giving out quite a few DVDs to people, averaging $15 each, with a few box sets going to better friends.

Nothing really special. I sent out christmas cards, and am hand-drawing cards for my 5 closest friends.

Here is what I am getting my wife:
1. diamond and ruby bracelet
2. tickets to a broadway play
3. day at the spa

The spa gift is always good if you don't know what to get your woman. They love to spend a day getting pampered. Also, the tickets to a show mean that you can have a night together. They like that too.
