magickallight Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 My kids are grown - from 32 down to 18, and I have 4 grandkids and a hubby and mom to buy for...Trying to get them to give me ideas so that I can pre-plan my Black Friday shopping. Who are you shopping for this year and do they give you wish lists or do you just buy what you think they want? ') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Too many people, usually takes a lined page front and back one person per line. Everyone gets what we think they'd like, a couple of the younger (16-19yo) cousins make lists and the younger kids (4-8yo) usually make it obvious what they'd like for months ahead. Neighbors and mail/trash folks usually get a bottle of wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I am trying to cut back some this year, on who I buy for and how much I spend. I love for them to give me list and I have been asking for them already too. I know I will buy for mom, dad, 5 grown children 1DSIL, 3DDIL, 1 child age 11, 8 grandchildren (ages 5 to 1 month), brother, his wife, nephew, my in-laws, teachers, and possibly a few others. I have not done as well saving this year so I am a little worried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof3luvs1 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 My list is so large this year. I have my 3 kids, dh, mom, dh's parents, 6 nieces/nephews, 4 friends, and a ton of teachers, coworkers, etc. I have been shopping for months already but am hoping to get everything done on Black Friday. I have no idea what anyone wants yet except my 3 kids, my oldest wants a sewing machine, fabric, body form so she can make dresses, my middle daughter wants everything frozen or american girl, and my youngest son is a mix between paw patrol, super hereos and disney cars. I really need to get my list statred for everyone else... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab0ad Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 My list for my close loved ones include an Alienware laptop, a buffet clarinet, an xbox 360 minecraft bundle, and a ipad with data plan. Pretty sure there will be a del on the 360 and ipad but not sure on the laptop or the clarinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m13april Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have no idea what anyone wants yet except my 3 kids, my oldest wants a sewing machine, fabric, body form so she can make dresses...Definitely look for the Joann's ad if you have one near you. They have dress forms on sale every year. You can look at last year's ad to get a price idea to determine if you can find it cheaper prior using coupons.

tyreejames Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 So far I need the Doc McStuffins mobile check-up center and 3 - 32 inch flat screens as we are upgrading the kids tv's. My "buy it" price on those is $150 each. No one has given an official list but I have some ideas: DS18 an Xbox one game, some blu-rays and cash DD11 clothes, nail wraps and maybe a pair of beats by dre DS7 Russell Wilson or Richard Sherman jersey, big lego set, Madden 25 or 15 (he's young enough to not care if it's the newest version or not) DD4 3ds of her own so she can stop taking everyone else's and the doc McStuffins center. DH no idea and he's no help; I'm thinking of doing gift cards to Wawa and Dunkin Donuts as he frequents those places on his way to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTFN10000 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 My daughter wants the Xbox one, my son all types of toys. I buy my dad and hubby cologne and matching Christmas shirts. My Aunt, and a few other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwashi3324 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 My husband NEVER asks for anything because he knows I'll get him something or some things that he'll like. My daughter wants a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt, some Copic markers ( for drawing) and clothes for college. And cash gift cards and Walmart gift cards.

pogiporkchop Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have no list yet but it's going to be very small anyhow. DD already knows not to expect anything... because I signed her up for taekwondo. (Ouch, says my wallet...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This years list is small... which is fine with me because my budget is smaller this year. But will still have fun helping kids shop for those on their lists on black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbi0125 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My son wants a graphics card for his computer and my daughter wants money or gift cards. Easy peasy. I'm sure they'll tell me more things they want closer to Black Friday once the ads are out tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okannie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We decided to draw names in our small family as several are on tight budgets, that way everyone just has to get 1 or 2 gifts for $60 or less each. The one granddaughter is already bought for since she is big into Breyer horses, we bought some at Breyerfest in July and have been picking up since then. Santa already has his tucked away for her too. I have some of what my son and DDIL are getting from me as I drew their names. I will probably get the other 2 kids something small but is it. Depending on what we see in the ads, may do any of it online if we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
