Shortness Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I'm getting just like my mom apparently. After the kids did their stockings, I remembered I had a book for each of them that was supposed to go in them. Then, earlier today, I was cleaning my desktop and found the document that was a receipt of two Playstation games I had purchased... I had completely forgotten about them. So, today they got a couple Playstation games. Do any of you do things like that?
ms_mckenna Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 LOL you are nicer than me I have done that in years past and ended up giving them for Valentines
Kandy Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I had gotten my mom a birdhouse, along with other things..forgot about the birdhouse until this afternoon....took it over there tonight but as for an anniversary gift they have been married 35 yrs today.
tootsieroll23 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Yeah I found a memory stick behind the chair that should have gone in DD stocking :)
shanni Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I am still unable to locate my brothers present. I remember having it, and wrapping it, and then I'm blank!
conj Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 we have 1 that didn't make the trip down - we will mail it.
motoXmom Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 You all have NO idea how much better I feel knowing I'm not the only one! ROFL This is just too funny. This year one of my dads got mixed up with the IL's gifts so when I see him for New Years. And we always find things I stuffed here or there for the stockings or whatever. One year for our oldest sons Bday I couldn't find one of his music CD's we got him. I have the receipt but to this day can't find the CD. That was about 8 yrs ago! I know I had it but never found where I had put it. Oh well maybe one day if we ever move from here, I'll find it then!
jeninpa Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I forgot to put the M&M filled candy canes in their stocking,lol. I also forgot to give my DS12 a PS2 game but since his Bday was yesterday, he got it then! You are not alone, !
bayhaysay Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Well kinda, last night as we were putting the stockings up I just stuck my hand in all of them to make sure Saydee hadn't stuck anymore play food in any of them (she's been doing this since I put them out ) and I found a tube of chapstick in the dog's stocking. It was wrapped in the wrapping paper that I used for Saydee LAST YEAR! So it's been sitting in there for a year and we never noticed it.
Great Dane Mom Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I'm sure I did. I just haven't found them yet. LOL I can't find a silly pair of glittens that I bought for my oldest daughter. I have no idea where I put them and she goes back to Virginia today. At least they're light weight to mail to her if and when I find them.
mynpyn Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Found a picture mousepad I had made for my mom the day after Christmas, so I will have to mail it out. I was really bummed, too, b/c I know she is going to love it and now she'll have to wait. Oh well, it happens!
heatherkw Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I found a hat glove scarf set for DD that I forgot about and an Evis teddy bear that was supposed to go in DD stocking. Oops
Illinoismom Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I have to say this year, I labled everything right and ddint lose anything I have done it in the past, Last year my oldest got the 9 year olds books, and the youngest got his older brothers football, and there was something else, and we lost a memory card last year but found before we were done with the presents.
DramaQueenLucy Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I forgot about a whole bag of stocking stuffers I was thinking that they just didn't look right but found it yesterday...oh well
Shortness Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 Oh my goodness... There's one more for me--a stationery set for my middle dd. I think I might save that for Valentine's day...
scrabbler Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 LOL....we put a present away after buying it one year and we didn't find it for over a year. I looked and looked and NOTHING! It was beginning to be a good joke around here. So now I keep all together and pay closer attention....too hard to remember!
Kat07 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 LOL I usually forget something or another til later on Christmas day....This year it was baseball cards for my DS. This year I also lost stuff....a Barbie toothbrush, nail polish, a Pet Shop Tomagotchi and Mach3 razor blades. I know I bought them and came home from the store with them....after that...?????????....
cleverbffool Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Nope, I keep track of everything I buy.Same here, lost nothing forgot nothing.
elena_398 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Good this year. Now last year I forgot a bag of stuff for my daughter.
brynnfromtheblock Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Yup.... found a magic book for dd#1 that didn't make it.... My husband got it the worst as I had a little bit to drink on Christmas Eve and had not done his stocking.. forgot to put an Outback GC and a Beatles CD in it...
laffnatu Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 We didn't forget anything but we did save some stuff for our son. Hubby bought a bunch of xbox games while in Iraq. When he finally seen all the presents together, he decided to hang onto the games for awhile. So we'll probably give them to him 1 by 1 throughout the year or save them for Christmas next year. lol
Tracy72 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 yes...dd for got to put a gift in the bag to take to inlaws...lol..so know my niece has alate gift..lol
Catrinaf25 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 not this year! BUT last year my dd got a few to many bratz dolls and a few other items so we put them in the garage unopened. we found them a few months ago! opps! she was so happy though LOL
motoXmom Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 LOL I usually forget something or another til later on Christmas day....This year it was baseball cards for my DS. This year I also lost stuff....a Barbie toothbrush, nail polish, a Pet Shop Tomagotchi and Mach3 razor blades. I know I bought them and came home from the store with them....after that...?????????....See this is what happens to me! lol Sometimes I get a few small items, a little here a little there and when I get home from shopping I TRY to put them somewhere I'll remember but we all know how well that's working for me! We really need more storage in this house. We usually put the main stuff in the attic because there's just nowhere else to put it. So when I pick up those little things I can't keep running up into the attic to get them with the rest of the stuff.
AndreaInNC Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 When my mom passed away in May, we found the ornaments she had bought for us a few years back that she had forgotten to give us. I finally just handed my kids a bunch of stuff Christmas night and said "I got tired of wrapping - here". It was meant as stuff to keep them busy in car trips .. etc .. so it was for everyone ..
AndreaInNC Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I also finally went thru my 'gift box' and either gave it to my kids or Toys for Tots this year .. I'm starting fresh with new stuff this year .. Target here i come .. lol
