I have a huge family and I need some gift ideas...in order for me to get everyone a gift I have to start now and buy here and there...
I need the gifts to be inexpensive but nice.
Last year I made every one gift baskets with a coffe cup and a gourment coffee and a flavored creamer with choco dipped spoons. I need a new idea. Here are the people I have to buy for, give me your ideas.
father in law-loves sports, outdoorsies
step mother in law-doesnt drink coffee, likes candles %26amp; drinking
sister in law-25, can't have anything valuable or breakable,
her boyfriend-35, likes michigan state
brandon, 8-dont know he is just now back with his mom in yrs
mariah, 10-girly girl
tyler-7, spoiled by grandma has everything
anthony, 5- breaks everything
bobby 3-breaks everything
micah 4, daycare kids like comic book heros
amber 24, daycare kid mom
stephan 8-friends kid likes tenage turtls
elizabeth, 3- likes hello kitty
Any ideas would be great
Gift ideas?
Father in Law- A sweatshirt of his favorite sports team, for the outdoors, depends- if he hunts there is a million thigns you can do- but maybe a bird watching book, binoculors, something like that
Step mother in law- Get her a couple of different martini glasses, there are so many different kinds to choose from! Find out what scents she likes, youcan never go wrong with a Yankee candle- those are the best!
sister in law- a gift certificate to her favorite store- she cant break that!
her boyfrined- a U of M t shirt- lol! wolverine here- j/k- Get him a nice MSU shirt or sweat shirt- try steve and barrys those are cheap there
Brandon- a scooter or a bike?
mariah- clothes- dresses- walmart has a great selection of girly girl stuff that is very inexpensive- even the childrens jewelry is cheap- you can get her a nice gold necklace for around $10
tyler- a board game
anthony- a football
bobby- a basketball
micah- superman stuff
amber- a gift certicate to starbucks or soemthing like that- $5 or $10 dollars
stephen- a figure of one of the turtles- or see if you can find something vintage TMNT on ebay
elizabeth- a littel hello kitty purse would be cute
hope that helps!

Reply:father-in-law...a subscription to a sports or outdoors magazine
mother-in-law...a gift basket with candles and a bottle of wine
sister-in-law...clothing, dvd's, something for the home
her bf...a michigan state sweatshirt
and then get the kids some kind of toys...hello kitty for the one who likes hello kitty, teenage mutant ninja turtles for the one who likes them and so on.
Reply:Theme baskets are great. This year for some we will do a stainless steel bowl and fill it with kitchen stuff. Last year it was a box I covered with christmas paper and put in towels,special soap, a candle and a rubber ducky. One year a box of San Fancisco sour dough bread plus glass cutting board and bread knife.
For the kids this year it will be disposable cameras with photo albums. Good luck and yea for starting early.
Reply:i have a big family too and this year i'm making fleece tie blankets. they're so easy and pretty inexpensive. i made my niece one for just over $11.00 you can get fleece in most everything you listed, hello kitty, ninja turtles, etc. but you'll pay more for special fabric.
Reply:I have the same dilemma. What I do is give 'family gifts'. Theme gift baskets are perfect:
movie theme: a movie or movie tickets, popcorn, soda, candy, etc.
baking basket: cake mix, frosting, recipe book, whisk, etc.
pasta basket: pasta, sauce, cook hat, recipe book, etc.
If you try to give an individual gift to every person, it gets very expensive.
This year I'm having a family friend who happens to be a photographer take family portraits on Thanksgiving. I bought some beautiful, inexpensive frames and I'm giving the families their framed portraits for Christmas.
Here are the frames: http://www.ltdcommodities.com/home/catal...
Also, my mother's side of the family does a grab bag. Every adult is responsible for getting a gift for another adult and a child in the family. It's fun and it saves everyone a lot of money!
