Don't people usually give their children and grand children what they tell you they want or can use? Or something close to what they ask for? It's true that the main objective for gift giving is to give something from your heart, to please the receiver. Something to make them smile and their eyes light up in appreciation? I know it is more difficult for some of us each year to come up with presents that cost little, and yet bring about alot of pleasure. For some of us, it's a task that has to be well thought out before something can be made to 'get the job done'. I can't compete with the high tech things our grandson would want. And we can't afford the items our child and SIL would scream for either. What we've been doing more of, is buying nice gift baskets for each and buying necessities of a personal nature and yet holiday wrapped to ensure gifts that won't be returned. And we always make either candy they like, or we have bought special food items from Hickory Farms and become inventive with food items to one side and personal favorites on the other. With maybe a special coffee mug in the center. Or something different we happen to come across. Our daughter told us last year, how much they appreciate those baskets of thoughtfulness and how they enjoy seeing them when we give them. They will buy for themselves what's needed throughout the year. And they don't expect us to even know what they like anymore. So the food thing has worked out well for us. And with our grandson, we really have to scratch our heads, since he's not into toys at 14. And his room is already too crowded. So we seem to be in a specialized gift buying season, more and more. Each seems to want something special that is unnafordable, for us anyway. So we'll be keeing our eyes open for something special or cute or funny to please our family again this Christmas. For it's the happy eyes and smiles we seek, to know we did a pleasing job, once again.

Nope. It's too soon .. and they don't choose their gifts, the gifts are always a surprise. I know my kids fairly good .. in regards to what they do and don't like. They're always very happy with the surprise gifts we buy them. :)
