I am trying to get a jump-start on buying my christmas gifts for everyone, but I'm having issues on what to get people. I don't have a tight budget, but I cannot spend over like $300 for everyone's combined. I'll describe as much what each one likes...Here's a list of the people I need to buy for. My Mom and Dad: I wanted to get a joint gift, like maybe a gift basket. I was going to get them a gift certificate for the movie theater and a restaurant for like a date night, but I also wanted to include a couple of small things in there with them. My dad is an avid motorcycle and football fan. My mom is into candles, orderliness, a lot of tv shows, but doesnt necessarily have anything that she's REALLY into. Both of them aren't too fond of technology. They are pretty tech-illiterate. Maybe help me find a couple extra little things to put in their basket? My sister: She's really into photography and her friends. She runs cross-country and is pretty sportsy...She likes partying with booze a little too much (shes 22). But shes not really that into movies or televsion or any kind of games. My Boyfriend/Fiance(22): He is really into video games, especially guitar hero and rockband, but those are way too expensive for me to buy right now. Loves Metallica, playing guitar, and the whole motorcycle/biker thing. He's a die-hard football fan, and enjoys movies a lot. He also LOVES sweets and McDonald's. lol. My best-friend/roommate(19):She is very into her video and computer games, such as SPORE and WOW. She also LOVES movies, the only thing I dont really know is what movies she doesnt have because she has soooooo many. She also has 4 cats, and loves them to death. She has mentioned wanting a new queen size bed set, but i cannot be buying a really expensive one, and Im not sure of where to buy one that stays in my budget. Her boyfriend/my other roommate(30): From what I can tell, he really likes his alcohol. He is also a Cowboys fan, but unlike my boyfriend, does care about other things. He isn't so much into the games, but he does like his movies. Him and my bff are always saying how they never have time for going anywhere or doing anything because they have no car and do everything they need to do while staying in this small town. My nephew(2 1/2): He's your typical little boy. He likes his toys, but he seems to have EVERYTHING! He has a lot of clothes and shoes, too. He likes Elmo, the backyardigans, finding nemo, etc. But I just do not know what new, cool things are out there for little toddlers right now. My sister and bro-in-law: They are just moving into a new house... I am think of maybe getting them something for their new home ( kind of like a housewarming gift but im not sure what to get). Or I could also just get them a gift basket. But I dont know what to include in it except...They love movies. But they aren't too fond of games or any sport in particular. My bro-in-law is really into salt water fish and even has a 50 gallon aquarium.... My grandmother(67): She is your typical gram. I do not know what she would like to have at all. She doesnt really watch movieslone since she is a...She has a dog, and she only plays pogo. I dont ever know what to get her! My fiance's family: I was thinking a gift basket for all of them, combined. But I do not know what I would include in it. Ideas??? Thanks a bunch.
--------------------
Maybe include some sports stuff in the basket for your dad (i.e. mugs, a hat, a poster, etc.) and for your mom maybe some cheap scented candles or a photo frame. For your sister, maybe an expensive bottle of alcohol. Something more than a typical 22 year old would be buying. Or maybe a bottle of wine. I would plan about $30 for this. For your boyfriend- a framed picture of the both of you, some homemade sweets, and maybe a vintage set of guitar picks (hello, ebay!!) Look for a bedset (if you mean blankets at such) at GardenRidge. If you mean a mattress, I'd say Craigslist. You really just need to get your BFF's boyfriend a card or something. Your nephew- maybe a talking Elmo doll, you can usually find them around $20-$30 at Wal-Mart year round Your gram- a framed picture of the whole family A fruit basket or holiday meats basket would be something nice for your fiance's family or your sister's family. One year we gave out movie baskets to all of our friends that were families. We bought large glass bowls at the dollar store and filled them with movie rental gift cards from the local video store, bags of popcorn, a 6-pack of Coke, and some of those cheap $1 movie theatre candies you can find at Walmart. Hope this helps.
