[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 453216, member: 84"] Well........thanks to coupons and sales.......people will be getting some interesting things this year. lol I needed a "filler" one day at walgreens and found eyeliner pencils on clearance for a quarter.....picked up Nichole 8 of those, she LOVES them. (I never could get the darn things to work) I got 3 either AirWic or Lysol automatic systems free......they'll go to someone, maybe both Nichole and katie as I know Nichole loves them and Katie could probably use it. Aubrey and Kayla will get these two enormous stuffed horses (you can sit on them to watch tv ect) I got at a yard sale 2 for 8 bucks, they sell for over a hundred. A little Nana tlc on some seams and they're good to go. Oliver has a stuffed lion that's adorable, tag still on. yard sale .25 cents I'm sure he'll love it cuz Connor and Brandon love it. I got 2 lions for .50 cents. And his afgan I'm currently working on and more than half finished with. (I forgot how long the darn things take to make) Hmmm. I just realized I bargained myself into a corner again.........I also have 2 sets of those wooden magnetic "paper dolls" picked up at 2 different yard sales and both look new, plus doll clothes to sew. Darn it girls are just too easy to buy for! (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) Kayla likes them too but I'm pretty sure she's outgrown them. I'll have to figure something out about that. Brandon has his stuffed Mater from a yard sale. AND Nana found the old lil people farm........AND Nana is busy collecting the animals ect for it. It's nearly complete. And after what I'm paying for the darn animals and people if easy child let's him lose it I'm gonna whack her. And I'd have to dig out my xmas box to see what else I have in there.........I know there are the books that were sent to me. easy child is going to get a hat and scarf made by me. She liked Nichole's and Aubrey's so much last year. Her husband probably will too as he works outside in the cold and it's supposed to be one of the nastiest winter's ever. Nichole is for sure getting some crocheted dish cloths. She needs them really bad and she likes the crocheted ones best........and they cost hardly anything to make. Quick easy and cheap. Katie.......she might get some of the dish cloths too, not sure on anything else. Nichole's husband........no clue yet, still hoping something will come to mind or I'll discover something between yard sales and store sales. Alex.....will have his spiderman afgan. I don't think it will cost much to make......and it will help him give up the nasty blanket he drags around the house. Evan might also get a lil people farm......I've yet decided after seeing what the animals for Brandon's is running me. I may find him an alternative. I just have to think of him on Brandon's level and anything I buy is pretty much perfect. I also plan to make each person something, including the kids. Odd thing is.........it's looking like they're going to wind up with more stuff this way than when I just went out and bought them gifts. lol Oh........and awesome news!!
