Almost Done Christmas Shopping

I think I might have mentioned this in another post, but I am pretty excited to almost be done with my Christmas shopping.  Ryan and Brandi are pretty much done, except for some stocking stuffers.  Kasi needs stocking stuffers, too, but I also need to get her a few more things for under the tree.  My problem with her is that she is so hard to shop for.  She doesn't like "girly" things, so finding girl things that aren't "girly", well, you see my dilemma. 

I also have to get a few gifts for some of the adults I want to buy for.  I hate waiting until the last minute, but it's hard to buy for people who you don't see often.  I wish there was a button I could press that would magically make gift giving easy.  I have heard people say that the best gift in this situation is a gift card, but to me, sometimes those are a little impersonal, especially at Christmas time.  I was thinking that I could get new pots for someone, because I found a really great coupon code for Gettington that I could use, but I'm not sure which types of pots this person would want.  I know I need some new non-coated pots for myself, but I think Junior would kill me if I piked out another of my own gifts.  I already picked out every gift from him to me, and he wants me to let him and the kids pick out the rest of my gifts.

Maybe I'll tell the kids that I want pots, and they can pretend like it is their idea.  Do you think that would work?

Just drop hints. A lot of hints. Just like I'm dropping a lot of hints that I want a crock pot this year.

Nona ~ dropping hints doesn't help. I need to point it out, buy it myself, or forget about getting anything! lol!

Trish ~ yes! Pound it into his head...but, honestly, we usually wait until tax time to get stuff for ourselves...we'd rather spend the money on the kids.
