Christmas presents help? (for various people in my life)?

1

For my boyfriend that I truly do love… I’m getting him an engraved promise ring, a bottle of my perfume, a teddy bear, a nice picture frame with a professional picture of myself (along with a recorder that hooks on the back so he can hear a message I record for him), and along with this a stocking and a nice card. Then on the side when he wakes up Christmas morning, I’ll give him myself with a bow. We sleep together so I thought this would be cute. And for whomever claims these gifts are overly sensitive, that’s the point. I KNOW he’ll adore all of these, but the question is… Am I not getting him enough? This is our first Christmas spent together and I want it to be as special as can be.

Also, I’m buying for his parents as well. I’m staying with them all for the holiday and I’m very close with them. I’m already set with his mom’s present (a Bath&BodyWorks gift set), but what should I get his dad? They are very wealthy and the man has everything he could ever want. Literally. He’s a fan of the football team Michigan, so I was thinking something related to that. Not tickets though. He’s very busy and wouldn’t have the time. My price range is no more than . I’m low on cash this Christmas and want to spent the most on my boyfriend. So, any ideas for his dad?

I live with my grandparents, so of course I need to get them both something. My grandpa won’t mention anything other than PJ pants with a hunting or fishing theme to them, and I just feel like that’s too simple. I just mentioned his hobbies, so does anyone know what I could get him? He already has all the hunting supplies he could need. I was thinking a decoration for his room. He just fixed it up with a deer-hunting theme (gross!), and doesn’t have many decoration. Or would that be stupid? Then my grandma won’t give me any ideas what-so-ever. She’s into The Wizard Of Oz, I Love Lucy, and enjoys working in kitchen. She overworks and I’d like to get her something special. Sadly, she isn’t into being pampered and Bath&BodyWorks type stuff. So I’m clueless. Every year we get her something The Wizard Of Oz or I Love Lucy themed, so I’d prefer to get her something completely unrelated to that. But I’m up for anything at this point.

The last person I’m still stuck with is my mom. We don’t have a close relationship, and whenever anyone gets her something she just doesn’t seem to care for it. I’ve tried getting her nice jewelery, a proffesional massage, makeup and whatnot, but nothing seems to work. She’s also not into Bath&BodyWorks stuff because she already has more than enough of it. Any ideas on what to get a hard-to-buy for mom?

ALSO – I refuse to give gift-cards or money to the people I buy for.

Thank you to all those who actually read this. And Happy Holidays to you all!

    Tall order. Here goes:

    Boyfriend: you are giving him more than enough–and that doesn’t include yourself! (I’m not a fan of premarital sex, but I won’t belabor that point.) He should appreciate whatever you give him, and the assortment you mentioned sounds fine.

    Boyfriend’s Dad: Bath&Body Works, and/or that other lotion store (The Body Shop), make products for men. You could get him a videotape or DVD of highlights of the Michigan football team. You could also browse their website for ideas. (Since you didn’t give a full name, I don’t know which website to link to.)

    Grandpa: get him what he wants. If you want to get him a decoration, too, get something in keeping with the deer theme. You might also get him a T-shirt about hunting or fishing, or one with a deer on it, to go with the PJ bottoms you’ll get him.

    I suspect you feel that whatever you give is not enough; please get over that feeling, and learn that you are enough.

    Grandma: since you’re tired of the Wizard of Oz and I Love Lucy themes, go for the kitchen or cooking theme. Pay attention to what she says or does. Does she need a new tool or appliance? Is she always running out of something? Are her potholders getting worn down, or her apron?

    Mom: Would you like to spend more time with her, or vice-versa? You could take her to a restaurant (her choice) for a sumptuous meal (your treat). You could take her to a concert, a play, a movie, or maybe a picnic in the summer.

    I hope these ideas are helpful. Merry Christmas!
