getting: no clue.
giving: couple books so far, still thinking for the most part though.
i'd really rather just make a mutual decision to go to the beach or the mountains for a couple days instead of giving all those gifts though really.

11/23/2007 8:31:57 PM

giving:
mom: going in with sister, dad, and bf on a digital camera for her; some christmas ornaments
sister: same, except it's mom, dad, I, and bf pooling money
best friend: cash, per her request. bday (12/17): tix to game on the 18th
bf: no fucking clue
misc friends: no clue
grandfather: xmas ornaments

getting:
some camera lenses
UV filter
cash and/or gift cards

and with my bday on 12/21, it's like either mega-christmas, or hannukah (in terms of duration), once you factor in how many different days i receive gifts, between friends, family, and bf's family.

had the best present picked out for the bf: used foosball table. used because new ones are way expensive plus it would prob get ruined pretty fast by his friends anyway. BUT, he picked out an expensive fleece instead. so he already has his present. now i have to get him something small. lost season 3 on dvd probably.

no idea what to get the parentals. no idea what to get 19 year old brother. friends and i don't really exchange gifts anymore.

Boyfriend got a guitar strap I spent HOURS on. Its really neat, I wove a bunch of ribbons into a strip, and attached it to some fake fur. Its awesome. I also made an calender for him by having a photographer friend take some awesome sexy pinup pictures and got it professionally printed. I did that last year and he loved it. I have something else in mind, but cant say cause he will read it!

Mom is getting an amber acorn necklace and a "gnome door" made out of woven vines and hemp (another long project) for a tree in her garden.

Sister is getting three canvases and a box with some new acrylics and brushes and cleaner.

Dad is getting some awesome slippers from LL bean. And I am working for him this week.

I sent my friend in Canada an AWESOME locket from http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5074662 and had them put in this picture of the Ariel statue. (we worked together at epcot when I was Ariel, so it made it sentimental)

I'm making the bulldogs fancy christmas collars tomorrow, if that counts.

Annnnnd I am baking cookies for the 239743 people I work with at Fedex.


No idea on what I'm getting though.

12/16/2007 8:56:57 PM

I'm donating money to charity for every family member because I hate shopping for them.

And, uh, I care about starving children? I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

12/16/2007 8:59:40 PM
