shopping mom Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I know many put away gifts throughout the year, and many of us are already shopping for the holidays. I was wondering what are you the most excited to give and to who? I am excited about the FP3 player from Fisher Price. I know it something my three year old will love. I am also excited about putting together the Wallet idea for DS and my FIL posted in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I am very excited about giving our oldest son a new laptop. He will be going away to college next year and we thought he needed one, so I am hoping to get a good deal on one BF, but if not I will just suffer and buy one anyway.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugsette Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 did you get a good deal on the Ipod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes, for some reason Circuit City rang up at $119 instead of the $150 price. My mom paid for it with her cash and they didn't say anything. I went and asked for them to price check. It rang up at the $150 price. Not sure what happened, but Im happy my mom was able to save so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmward725 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 DH recently found his 3 younger sisters who had been taken from his mother and given up for adoption (long story, mother had mental disabilities).

Most colleges that helooked into/got into required you to buy their specific laptop. He neededto buy a specific Dell laptop for his school and it comes with all therequired (school software/programs). Just FYI as we learned the hardway:gd_twocen One of his roommates bought his own laptop (an HP) and he is alwaysneeding to look at somebody elses with the specific software etc.I know it is a racket but what can you do:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssf Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm most excited about the photo gifts I give to friends and family (calendars, dvds, calendar mousepads, etc.) Those get the biggest smiles year after year more so than the big, expensive gifts..

shanni Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Usually it's gifts I have made for someone that have deep emotional meaning. Like the book I had made for my aunt last year, that had photos of her, and many people in our family that passed years ago. She didn't even know these pictures existed,some were taken more than 40 & 50 years ago. It really was a touching moment for all of us, I still get emotional when I think about it. But...... This year I'm very excited about getting my daughter her own Baritone and my son a drum set, even though I'm sure I am going to regret it about 20 minutes after they open them.

berry1014 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 We are getting our 5 y.o daughter the fisher price digital camera. I can not wait to see the look on her face. She loves digital cameras and yes she knows how to use them and is actually pretty good at taking pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunniq Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 My mother loved bangles when she was younger, and during a move a few years back they were lost. She had surgery this summer and her tech wore bangles and that is all my mother could talk about. I can't wait to give her the bangles I found for her.

tootsieroll23 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I always like giving the ones that are almost impossible to get, especially when the kids know it is a hard item to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you. My mil has been at us for two years to get a family pic. What she doesn't know is that a couple weeks ago we went to the arboretum and took alot of family photos and individual pics and I had them printed on the collage, coastres, mousepad, shirt. I don't knbow what else. they are definately going to be tired of looking at us. Best part is that they were all FREE from the Kodak/lay's sweeps!
