[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 393895, member: 84"] Her most valuable gift of all is just going to be spending time with you. I don't know about her family life back home but if there is any risk at all of jewelry getting pawned if it gets "lost" I'd be a bit hesitant. Not due to the cash, but due to the high sentimental value it is going to have to her. We're having the same sort of issues back here with the grands. We want to make this year extra special, but due to circumstances we've had to redirect our enthusiasm for the most part to creating lasting memories instead of loading them down with gifts they many not get to keep long term. So we're "gifting" them the family traditions : shopping for gifts for other family members, baking cookies, making presents and decorations for the house, watching classic xmas movies with popcorn and homemade cocoa, driving around looking at xmas lights while listening to xmas carols.........still hoping for snow on xmas eve so they can go out and play in it lol, getting all dressed up for the xmas dinner............ I did get them toys and clothes from their lists. But the memories they will be able to carry with them for the rest of their lives regardless of what the future brings. I have a feeling your sis isn't coming for presents. She is coming to be with her family and her sister, to share the holiday together. While being a kid the presents are part of that, but I have a feeling it's not that big a part. Know what I mean?? Hugs [/QUOTE]
