I'm getting A's grandma, who is impossible to shop for, succulents from kamakaziartist. Her stuff is gorgeous. And she made a comment about liking them so I'm going with that. I always buy his grandpa a restaurant gift card and chocolate, both of his favorite. But he was just diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease and isn't allowed chocolate or anything good really. So I'm stumped.

ETA: and mini donut pan

We always do stockings, but mh and I have decided not to exchange presents again this year. He broke the rule last year and I got some great stuff. I'm sure he'll do it again this year, so to be safe I ordered him a Northface jacket, new slippers, and wool socks.

Do you have the gap card? They have early deal for cardholders 50% off plus an extra 10% off in stores only.

MH is wanting a good quality electric razor, the wet feature is not needed. I've been looking at the Phillips 5000 or 7000. I know that trtlcrzy mentioned one before that her husband uses everyday and loves, which one was it again? Thanks.

I just looked at it and it’s the Phillips norelco pt724 ETA: according to amazon this is the newer version: Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 3100, S3310/81 with comfort cut blade system www.amazon.com/dp/B01859QHAY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VvZdAbQZEM9ME

my Mom just booked a trip the Holy land, Israel and Jordan, so I'm getting her a lot of travel related stuff; pom pom's for her luggage, packing cubes and I think that my brother and I will get her some Israeli currency as well. I'm so excited for her.
Any other thoughts or ideas for travel?

To add to this I was thinking maybe a new shoulder bag or cross body bag? Something that would hold but she needs as she's touring (i'm guessing she'll be touring)

peachsmama I think I got her a passport holder years ago but I was looking at those cross body small purses that you wear under your shirts for security. Yes guster she will be touring with a group for the entire time she is there, she is going with my Aunt.

Hi, me again.
I am also going to get MH pocket squares for his suit, but am stumped on how many and what colours. His suit is black, his shirts that he wears with it are white, grey, sometimes red, and a blue.

DH and I don't exchange gifts.
For my parents I get them a GC to a nice restaurant every year. I think I'm going to do some sort of photo gift for the IL's but I'm waiting to hear from SIL I got my nephews different KNex sets. One is a car and one is a bow and arrow thing. My nieces are getting a Barbie playset and a Trolls playset with coloring stuff.
C so far: - magna doodle - one of those toy cars you can build with the tools provided - Blaze race track - clothes
I am also going to get him a sleeping bag, a hot wheels set, an air patroller from paw patrol, and probable a few other small things.

vino, how often does he wear his suit? Does he go tie-less? If he does, I would look into patterns. Subtle ones, but that could be a point of interest.

Yes guster she will be touring with a group for the entire time she is there, she is going with my Aunt. What a great trip for them! You could get her a couple of nice scarves. I don't know what the weather will be, but a big thin scarf works in lots climates, doubles as a throw on a plane or train, and can cover up a stain on a shirt in a pinch.

I think I'd go with 3 then. Two solid and a one patterned? White for sure.

wineallthetime I want that blanket!!! <adds to wishlist> Dh is a pain in the ass to shop for. This year I’m getting him a beer fridge because we have an area in the back of our pantry that he keeps talking about putting one there. I’ll also get a few pack of nice craft beer to stock it with. Also some clothes, probably running shoes... not sure what else. I think I’m going to get my parents a membership to our botanical gardens.

Does anyone get the fabfitfun box? The winter box looks good and I’m thinking of getting that for sil. We drew names this year so I think I’ll get her that plus pajamas.
