Does anyone have any ideas what they are getting people??
I know for def that I am putting MIL's fave pics into an album
FIL has a tshirt that says Do I Look Bald In This? ( we make fun of his baldness )
Got Flick a pair of jammies.

But now I am stuck
I may be starting work part time - been offered a job as a receptionist, they have someone atm but she worked 1 day and has been off sick since and thats her first week So I have been out forward for it so if I get it that would mean we would be £400 better off each month and I get NVQ's x

But we still have some debt so can't really spend too much but I defo want to get my stepmum and stepdad something special as they have looked after Flick overnight a lot and not accepted anything for it and they have been fab support the last few months as I am still reading my files xx

Any ideas would be fab xxx

I have rambled sorry xx
Oh and I am kinda hoping I can get some rep points here too

I wish I could help but I am having a mental block myself!

Xx

i havent thought about it yet Aaarrrggghh. Congrats on the job by the way, thats brilliant x

Thanks, I really hope this girl doesn't come back
I think that having a job will get me out of this slump I seem to be in xx

hmmm, i have no idea yet either. but it will all be paid for because i have been saving with Park! so we are waiting on £1000 to be delivered and i cant wait x

OH doesn't like the idea of using them as they open credit accounts and he is against it

it doesnt ????? x

Mmm not sure what Im getting people.

I really wanted to get my mum a photobook all made up but Im not sure of the quality of photos of me and my sis from our childhoods as its all digital now so going to go into kodak and ask them what they think. if I just stuck them in it would be a scrap book and I didnt really want that.

Ive got most of hannahs birthday and xmas just afew bits to pick up for her and will buy her clothes nearer the time.

not really fussed about anyone else cant be bothered thinking about them!

i have sort of sorted chrimbo ,,,, got a fair few bits in already and have opened a xmas club for kids stuff ,,,,
my big big issue is my dad and OH parents ! , never have a clue what to get them so hint hint nudge nudge ,, any ideas welcome x x

I was planning on taking the parents out for a dinner in the new year as their present, as they have everything. But now I am also thinking of taking Aimee to a photoshoot session and getting them some pics done.

I have emailed a company today to see what deals they are dong at the moment.

Caitlin is pretty easy, she too young to have her own demands (dreading when she's 3 or 4 and understands the whole writing to Santa thing but not the concept of £££). Think im getting her box of sticklebrick/duplo, a doll that cries/talks, ITNG toys... atm anyway as she loves it, could have a new fave by xmas, and prob clothes, books, 1st jigsaws etc.

OH I usually get Lost box set, aftershave, funny book/sweets/boxers.

My mum normaly I get a book, nice make up/sanctuary set & a mug or something with Caitlins pic...
My MIL my OH gives £ and we sign card jointly and give her a mug/calandar with caitlin on it.
SIL a CD, her boyf HMV voucher.
Female cousins jewellery, male uncles/cousins HMV voucher
Granda a diary, 1940's CD
FIL a book token...
Friends try and do the boots 3 for 2 thing and get soap & glory sets
Friends kids I usually get clothes from Asda

Im actually crap at present buying, im so predictable.

I wanted to do the photobooks last year for MIL and mum but I didnt get round to ordering it and was gona be about £20, I decided they already had loadsa pics so chose the £4 mug instead

Park is a savings scheme - nothing to do with a credit account

We are probably just going to do some photobooks from snapfish for relatives - they will just be of elijah and from elijah seeing as nobody is remotely interested in us anymore! I know that sounds quite bitter, but tbh we don't really bother with christmas and whenever we visit or see people they are p*ssed off we don't have the baby so....he will be the provider of presents this year

(oooh maybe we should give out a free dirty nappy with them haha)

WOULD RECOMMEND GOING TO VISTAPRINT ,,, THEY HAVE SOO MANY FREEBIES RIGHT NOW ,, I HAVE ORDERED LOADS ,, AND EVEN TAKING THE CHEAPEST DELIVERY OPTION IS PLENTY OF TIME FOR CHRIMBO X

have just placed another order ,,, a tshirt with pic of me and D on it , novelty for OH , ordered all 3 different styles of mug print 1 for sis with her son on it ( wraparound ) 1 for BIL to be, with his son and added text and a collage one for my dad with all grandkids on it ... all delivered for grand total of
£6.74 !

My problem with photo gifts is managing to get some pics! My kids are like me and hate photos so its quite impossible x

i am getting mine through studios and ace catolouge hun they have loads of good ideas xx

lol katie ,, i can get some really good pics of my middle kid ,,, youngest will sometimes play the game but the oldest !!! jeezo everytime he tries to hard then comes out with these totally screwed up faces hahahah

ahh thats the joy of elijah being so young we can manage one good photo a week at least - maybe by Christmas we can do a 6 month book (6 pages with our favourite pic of each month, then Eli in some awful Christmas outfit )

We did photo albums last year - so will print some pics off to add to them

No idea what else yet - far too early!

ohhhhh hubby is going to get this amazing jumper! http://www.urbanexcess.com/p-6521-pop-retro-reindeer-xmas-knitted-jumper-navy-blue.aspx its beautiful

I wish i could help. we are not getting anything for anyone but Rowan this year
