I have no idea what to get anyone for Christmas this year!!! I have exactly one weekend (this weekend) to figure it out because we'll be out of town the weekend before Christmas. How do you get inspired to think of ideas??

    My answer is unlikely to help but I keep a running list of birthday and Christmas ideas for my immediate family all year. For my family that lives away we still give each other lists of ideas.

    I def. need to start this!!! Thanks anyways. I guess my post is more of a complaint than one that will actually warrant ideas. Haha

    We only have to shop for ILs so our shopping list is short, but it still is a headache year after year.  My ILs recently did a major downsizing so the last thing they want/need is MORE stuff.  So we are doing food gifts mostly.  We also made a wall calendar on Shutterfly with M's pictures, and that is for the ILs as well.  For my SIL, we are again doing food gifts, and tickets to a show.  I like the idea of gifts that can be used up - so food and/or performances/shows/concerts work best for us.

    I also keep an Amazon wishlist for my family, so I always get what I want :). For others, I'll browse Pinterest boards to get an idea of what they like to wear/decorate with. I also keep a spreadsheet, so I can jot down an idea if I think of it.

    With all that being said, I cannot stand Christmas shopping! I won't even set foot in a mall until January. Working holiday retail scarred me for life.
    TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF
    Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
    12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!
    Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!

    Please realize that we don't celebrate Christmas, I hate shopping and am trying to do with less stuff. I like to give services such as a g/c to a favorite restaurant, for a spa, mani/pedi, museum memberships or tickets to a music, dance or theater performance.

    As much as I hate giving gift cards, that's what people love. I'm doing lots of gift cards this year to the mall, restaurants and passes for an indoor bounce house nearby.
