I'm VERY tempted

That is a cute costume

I have started my Christmas shopping about a month or two ago. First of all I'll tell you about this website that I came across. It's www.findgifts.com It's great because you can enter the sex, age, relation, and event that you're looking for. You don't necessarily have to buy off the site, but it'll give you some great ideas.

One great idea I'm making for my bf's mom is a quilt. Basically what I did was bought the quilted material from a fabric store that has pre-sewn squares on it (about 2" x 2") and printed off some family photos of her two boys throughout the years onto iron-on t-shirt paper (can pick up at any office supply store usually). Make the pictures about 4"x4" (and don't forget to reverse them on the computer). Then cut them out and spread them evenly on the quilt and iron them on (following the directions). Then just get some batting and some really nice soft material and sew it all together. It's beautiful, and simple and anyone would love it. It can range in price, just depending on what material you get.

Good luck and just think of how happy everyone will be at Christmas when they open the gifts.

I love the quilt idea, i was thinking of something along those lines for my parents with all three of their grandchildren on it but i didn't know quite what to do

WHAT?! did someone say CHRISTMAS?! OOO i cant wait! walmart had christmas music playing today lol. so far i got my brother a stuffed bagera from the disney store cuz his cat bagera died and my sister a stuffed nemo cuz shes just nemo, she stutters sometimes. and i got my neice a tinkerbell scrapbook. macy n liam r getting a baby doll each to practice for their new sibling and the huge step 2 walk in kitchen. im going black friday shopping so whatever else i find

I hate my sister for being so prepared. All she has left to do is wait for her father in law's present to arrive, wrap the presnts and write her cards. She got Mika's present in May beofre she wwas born! She's way to prepared for my liking lol

I have most of my shopping done. All of the kids in the family are bought for, I just have my kids to finish up. I'll be so glad to purchase that last gift...this time of the year is SOOOOO stressful.

we don't have any money for christmas this year. we do have all finn's stuff though, because to us christmas is about the kids.

any suggestions for cheap or homemade gifts for the family? i'm thinking of giving my parents and nick's parents framed pics of finn (maybe the 6 picture thing i was talking about in finn's fall pics thread).

danni, wait until after halloween for costume sales and i bet you'll be able to find a fireman costume cheap!

I agree with Christmas being all about kids.

I think the picture/frame idea is great! When I was a single mom, I always did the cookie thing. I still do... but then it was more in the line of gifting the cookies - I made everyone stockings and stuck the cookies inside them.

One year I crocheted everyone rugs. That was a huge project I wouldn't tackle again! Yikes!

I know what I am getting the kids, I just haven't got them yet- my mum got all the presents in January

Smart lady, shopping the sales!

i havent even started shpping yet
but i know im going to buy travis a ring for christmas he really wants
and a few pairs of his comfy house shoes he loves

Shane & I are starting to think about Christmas gifts now .. We're getting my little brothers a set of bunk beds because right now they're sleeping on 3 mattresses each just piled on the floor. My sister we're getting a giftcard to the mall. My mom & Shane's parents we really have no idea about though. I think mine & Shane's gifts to each other is going to be some new living room furniture! Right now all we have is one of those cheapo walmart futons & a 50 year old chair. I was looking around in Target today & there is SO much I want to get for Kaylee, I don't eve know where to start with her!!

ooh do you have an ikea where you live?

No I don't think we have one of those here, what is it?

I'm excited to get started. I found a lot of neat toys I want to get for Adriana this year. I'll check them out tonight at work again if I can find my magazine.

its the best furniture store ever
they have lots of neat stuff and its not expensive at all
travis and me were looking into buying a new bed so thats where we are going to get ours at
