I'm stumped on my 75 year old uncle who is a retired linguistics professor who likes classical music and lives in Manhattan. Like how many scarves does he really need? Socks? 😂 I asked my cousin and she was like "Yeah I don't know my dad always stumps all of us" so at least I'm in good company.

Hmmm maybe something food related near his apt? A gift card to an indie book store or coffee shop near his address (if he drinks coffee)? Or like a nice pen that's great to write with.

Okay here’s what I’ve got so far! Kids: socks, an outfit, some bath and body stuff like face masks, bath bomb, and nail polish, mini purse backpacks, some blind bags, candy, animal crossing monopoly, and those oversized fleece hoodies (thinking these will be from Santa) I got the comfy brand ones. Mom: some expensive tomboyx sports bras she likes. I need something else too though Friends: lotion, candles, mugs, some t shirts and stickers. I usually buy a ton of fancy local chocolates but this year I think I’m done without that. Myself: for my stocking some body washes and an oil roller, some more candles, candy, myself an oversized hoodie. Then I bought some clothes.
Matching pjs for everyone.
I want maybe some hot chocolate and a set of mugs for the kids because I got mini stockings so they could hold more candy. I thought travel mugs would be cute because then they could bring hot cocoa on our commute for school in the mornings.

H is an old man at heart and loves the nice pen he got last year.

I love a nice pen wildflower, or marker even. Every time I'm in an art supply store I want to spend all my money on fun stuff to write with. I might be an old man too.

I missed the restock email on the BeyBlades, dang it. Three hours later and it's sold out again.

I think I'm almost done. I need maybe a little something for oldest son, and wanted a weighted blanket for dh because he's really struggling with sleep again/still. aneed stamps for xmas cards. I'll buy some things for stockings and cat treats fit into my grocery budget.
I've worked so very hard to find best deals, cpupons, sales etc. cashing in all my ebates, ibotta, credit card points for gift cards, selling unwanted/outgrown clothes I have barely spent anything. It's not a big christmas, but it's a christmas.

Huh. A random but normal post followed by spam. That’s new.
