37--One nice thing about him is he realizes he can afford to buy what he wants and always asks us to please get nothing as he won't use it. If he wanted it, he'd buy it. Grandson got Pokeman stuff he enjoys, although he has almost more than his father due to his father's spending.
Julie--I-tunes cards for herself and because our granddaughter loves certain shows and she wants to be able to download stuff for the baby. Got her a coffee mug with Kaili's picture on it. A few odds and ends. Between us we agreed...no big presents...give it to the baby. I still am looking for some clothes at Goodwill, where I work, and I get to see the stuff as it comes in. She is a person who mostly dresses down and used to shop at Goodwill even when she had a job. Not a name brand person (and I'm proud of that).
Kaili--Lots of cute toys she'll hopefully learn from and also much she needs, such as bigger clothes, warm blankets, socks, etc.
Sonic--A smart TV, which he'll love. He can give the one he has now to Jumper. She needs a TV. He will also get a bluebird of happiness (explanation in Jumper's paragraph)
Jumper--She asked for a tatoo that says "Family is Everything" a few months ago. It came out of our Christmas fund. No, tatooes, especially nice ones that are put in places that can be covered, do not upset us. It wasn't cheap. So for the rest of her Christmas she got an electric blanket, bathrobe, slippers, a Bluebird of Happiness (something I buy all my kids when they have their own place...she asked if she could have one for her dorm) and some odds and ends. She doesn't dress in name brands...fortunately...and likes to just be comfy...flannel shirts, sweats. Proud of her too.
For both girls I bought a plaque that says "A Daughter is a Little Girl Who Grows Up to be Your Best Friend."
Husband--large, insulated coffee mug that he can take to work with a collage of pictures of our kids and don't forget the dogs!!! We never exchange much...our best gift is our children and our peace and tranquility and we tell our kids to go easy. Except for 37, money is tight. And this year 37 promised to buy me train fare to visit him. That would be great so I could see my grandson, but we shall see. He seems to mean it. Lately he has been on the upswing (you know how they cycle)
We try to get things that will mean something personal to the kids as we don't have the money to buy huge toys. Sonic got the one toy this year, BUT we got a good deal on it. It was a floor model of a good brand. Other than the TV, he isn't getting anything else as he has everything he needs and wants.
