Jenny in Florida Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 All I have managed to figure out so far is the theme for my husband's stocking: Edgar Allan Poe. I've ordered some socks (family tradition) with Poe's face on them, a t-shirt with a picture of the French cover of "The Raven" and a candle that purports to evoke Poe-like aromas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 All I have managed to figure out so far is the theme for my husband's stocking: Edgar Allan Poe. I've ordered some socks (family tradition) with Poe's face on them, a t-shirt with a picture of the French cover of "The Raven" and a candle that purports to evoke Poe-like aromas. I'm pretty sure I have a rubber stamp with the Raven poem as the background and a raven in the foreground. I can send it to you if you want to borrow it it make notecards or a art collage or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 We got tickets for the family to see Matilda. That's the big present. We're making each kid a box of coupons....ideas are things like Pick Dinner tonight. Get out of a chore free, Get off of school for a day and some for special treats for each (bubble tea for one, coffee for another). The youngest will get one where we have to play a game of her choice. They will each get a book. Oldest is getting Thing Explainer by Randall Monroe. Not sure about other two yet. I'm thinking about giving each a box of breakfast cereal. My Mom gave the middle one a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for his birthday and it was like gold. I might do a family board game gift. Stockings: A favorite kind of tea Some kind of small game (last year it was Rat a Tat Cat, Moose in the House and Zeus on the Loose). I usually get them each a Lego minifig (one of the random packs) but I might also get them one of the new Lego Mixels which they all think are super cute. I think they will all get fun socks. Middle son will probably get some kind of crazy swim cap because he would think that was fun. I might stick goggles in all of their stockings because they constantly lose goggles. Daughter might get some nail polish or some kind of sparkly hair things. Dh and I don't really do presents for each other. We just bought tickets to a concert we wanted to go to in January that is a bit of a splurge so we're calling that a Christmas gift. I know he made me a photo calendar with nature photos he has taken. He's done that the past few years. We sometimes get each other other small gifts for our stockings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Adults in my family don't exchange presents any more, so that makes things easier. I think my "big gift" for each of my kids will be a beanbag chair. Also one wanted a Rubik's Cube, so I bought that and I got the other a Pyraminx. I'm trying to remember if I promised them any other "important gift" for Christmas, LOL. There will be books and maybe some DS games or movies. They will get lots of stuff from too many childless aunties, so they will be covered as long as I put something under the tree. I need to check with my sister about what her little girls would like. I ordered some toys for the young nephews. I'll try to come up with something for the teen girls. I think everyone else is just getting gift cards and nut tins. (I have to buy nut tins for my kids' scout fundraiser.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
