Thanks for all your suggestions He didnt want to bring anything to be consumed that night because I just found out that the party is being catered (im assuming this friend's family is a little moneyed) He really liked the starbucks coffee basket idea, his friends family is apparently caffeine junkies like myself. Sneakers- The milk incident happened to me as well, I didnt realize I used all of it up in cooking so there was none for coffee or tea for dessert but one of my guests brought milk, its ESP. AndreaInNC- yeah only 18, my sister knows how to raise her kids right, when he spent the summer at the same friends shore house he sent a plant as a thank you... hes a good kid.

thanks I will pass that info on! Keep posting!

My nephew 18 needs ideas for a hostess gift to give to his friends parents for their Christmas party. Of course I said wine then I realized he was only 18 (a little inapproaite) he nixed the candle idea so I am at a loss, I said a ornaments he said no because they have a specific themed tree. The best I have as an idea is a small trio of Lenox Holiday vases.

thats what im listening to in SJ but he losses that around exit 10 on the turnpike he is working around exit 15/16

does anyone know of any station in NYC/Newark NJ area playing christmas music? dh got transfered so he has been traveling up there and wants x-mas music

This year will be different, My hubby and I have decided that choosing white carpet and having two young kids was not he best choice. So we decided on a beige & it goes in October 27, so why put back all the other knicknacks I am going staight into Christmas.

I enjoyed having my birthday and BF on the same day, but getting everything I needed in one trip was a first. So having everything go well was the best thing.

thank you, it eases the anticpation a little bit.

I do the same thing, I was looking at that vac for the car so he can clean my car when I want it cleaned.

I am ready!!!

Has anyone picked a holiday theme yet? I think I am going with red and white poinsettias with gold and green ribbon. I would love to hear your holiday decorating ideas!

Wrapping all the gifts, I try to make each one look as if it was professionally wrapped, the holiday scents and the time with family and friends.
