Need to be for baby? Sometimes nice to buy for mom/dad since the kid is often showered in things shortly after birth.
I got her a present already, just wanted a little something for the baby. A group of us is doing a Xmas get-together, and I know at least two other friends who have gotten the baby a separate gift. I don't want to be the cheapstake baby hater.
Winter clothes for an older child, if you like clothing. Mine had an outfit every day for the first year, between gifts and hand-me-downs. No one gives you an excessive amount of clothing for a 2yo.
Useless then. I'm pretty good at baby hating.
Scotch of the month club? Pricey (like $100/mo by the time you figure shipping), but you can do as little as a single month, and it'll likely be something he can't get locally.
What's his favorite hockey team and what's his opinion on beer steins? My stepdad has similar interests and I got him steins with his favorite team's logo on them and he loved 'em.
This is an odd thing, but probably the best gift I ever got when we had our first. Its the best at clearing boogers.
He brought me back a stein from his deployment in Germany so I think I may have been slightly one up'd there. And I have no idea on favourite... he just kind of watches stuff socially. With that said, I was about to respond Roughriders when my quick google told me that was a football team if that tells you anything about my level of knowledge here. Ha.
If I'm going to spend that much it'd bug me to not be able to pick out, and he doesn't drink a ton so more than a bottle or two would probably be overkill. Of the month things are cool though!
He's cool just a pain in the ass to buy for because he buys the things he wants and is very picky/particular. I go through this yearly.
Based on my knowledge of hockey, the Blackhawks are either his most dearly beloved or his most vehemently loathed team on the planet. I'm actually not sure if there are other hockey teams, because all I know about hockey can be mapped in terms of Blackhawks love or hate lol.
The best Christmas gift he has right now is the Cowboys' current record this season.
he has a Stars/ Cowboys shot glass collection already... :/ maybe a flag or a scarf...
can't beat that! Haha
Rum balls are also great!
Oh I should mention, he has hats and hoodies and all, and he's pickier than a model when it comes to clothes.Rum balls are also great!
Also, I know it's cliched but I also love baseball caps with sports team logos on them.
@cdoconn , What kind of beer does your brother like?
If anyone's going to a white elephant party and is struggling to figure out what to bring that most people would be happy with (read: me), bring one of those mason jar cookie mixes, with all the pretty layers of dry ingredients. I figure mostly everyone loves cookies so I'm now bringing these to gift exchanges for the rest of my life because they're simple and cheap but still require enough effort to be thoughtful... This is my go-to whenever I'm at a loss for what to get someone.
I actually got my Dad (another hard to buy for person) a small beginners drone for Christmas. I had no idea what FNAF was about! He's been carrying around the same 2 figures for 2 months now. I know my brother and my sister already got them both a bunch of that stuff, so I'm not sure what will be left in my price range. I try not to spend more than $30 on each kid.
Books about France? Assuming she has French cookbooks? Cooking classes perhaps?
Does she have these bowls? If not, they are pretty awesome and I don't know anyone that doesn't love them.
My brother loved nerf guns when he was younger (probably about 5 until like 15 when he got an airsoft gun, but still would occasionally play with the nerf). If you do go with nerf, might want to think about getting 2 guns so he and someone else (probably dad) can shoot at each other. When I was ~11 I really liked Littlest Pet Shop stuff.
Out of curiosity what made you give it up
Does she have one of these? Because she needs one they're awesome and adorable.
And just like that I have a flashback to the Christmas where all the boy cousins got these awesome tiny electric cars and all the girl cousins got Barbie dolls and I was sooo jealous of their cars I cried.
I hear you. Most of my friends when I was really little, were boys, and I was totally jealous of their Star Wars and He-Man toys. My niece & nephew have similar interests, so I try to get them similar gifts. Ok, likely he just likes what she likes, and he'd cry if he liked her toy better, so it's easier to just get them something similar. I got them both some FNAF construction sets, which are lego like. Hopefully they like them.
