mouth 0 #1 December 4, 2004 I am so at a loss on wht to buy several people on my Christmas list. Several of them have two of everything and go out and purchase anything they want when they want it. Others are friends and I would really like to get them something to let them know I'm thinking about them,but I don't know them well enough to know WHAT to get. I hate to be alone...so PLEASE tell me you have people like this on your list too. Please. I hate gift certificates but ya know they just may well have a place on my list this year. I'll also take any ideas anyone has for the adult who has everything. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

You make them as simple or complex as you want. Say buy procelin ornaments at Michael's and some paints and small brushes. You'll impress yourself w/ your results for sure. Santa doesn't always have to have a red suit on. Sometimes purple or green are fun too!!!There are also some really cool beadwork ornaments kits out there, which end up BEAUTIFUL. I'm not quite that patient, maybe I'll work on that! Good luck! For those who have 'two of everything', now they'll have a 'Lisa Smith xmas 2004 ORIGINAL!!!'I like coconuts.

My husband has a huge family, 10 brothers and sisters, and 10 aunts and uncles and all their kids. And everyone gets together on Christmas Eve and exchanges presents. I try to find something I can get for everyone, not too expensive since I have to buy like 50 gifts. This year what I'm going to get everyone is a "cushi pillow". They sell them at the airports, they're a little pillow that is soooo comfortable and you can use it on planes, in the car or even on the couch at home when watching TV. They were $20 at the airport, but Nordstrom outlet has them for $10 and I'm thinking I can go online and find them for even less since I'd be able to buy in quantity (about 50). And it's something everyone could use and even if they have one they could always use a second one (keep one at home, one with their travel stuff).
