The momagenda is a perfect gift for my BFF. She is having her first baby in March and she is extremely organized. She will love that she can keep track of all appointments in seperate columns. See just the type of inspiration I need. =)
I am buying almost everyone I know Debbie Meyer green bags. I'm looking for a vintage clutch for one friend, I got a signed book for another, and as for family, I'm still waiting for inspiration to strike. Sadly, I wanted to be done shopping by now. Oh well.
For me - I tend to dislike almost everything people give me so I try not to think about it!
I haven't done a ton of shopping yet...for my little brother I got a nice-ish Timex watch. For BF, I got a book about mustaches (because he loves them) and I think I'm going to get him an Apple Magic Mouse and some Converse low-tops because he's been wanting both. My brothers and I usually all chip in get my parents tickets to a play or gift certificate to a nice restaurant or something they can do together. I am so lost on my older brother. And....there isn't really anyone else I usually exchange gifts with! I don't have very gifty friends/family. I'm thinking of making chocolates and giving them out to people as little gifts, though.
I honestly don't really know what I want. Hmmmm. I'll have to think on that. Maybe a pearl necklace, I have a fakey I love and I've always wanted a real one.

I did some Christmas shopping during Sephora's F&F
For one SIL who has been complaining that she feels kind of dowdy and is unhappy with some recent weight gain I wanted to get her some things that make her feel pretty and pampered. So I got her
We share a love of wine so the Caudalie set is perfect for her. I'm really excited about seeing her open these.
For my aunt/godmother I bought her some earrings when I was in Scotland and then got her this as a kind of add on because she loves my gingerbread cookies.
I bought the Hot Chocolate for a favorite cousin who loves coco but is kind of hard to shop for. The box is really pretty. They embossed some of the photo with glitter to make it look special.
I've barely started my mom, but so far I won this on Ebay. I've been trying to get it for a decent price for 2 years now! Sorry for the small picture. It's a Starbucks cart for her Christmas Village. Our "thing" is to get Gingerbread Lattes during the holiday season.
For my goddaughter I'm getting her
a twilight calendar and t-shirt because she is going to be 12 on Christmas day and loves Robert Patterson. I will totally retain my "cool aunt" status for another year.
I bought a pretty aqua and blue stripped wool scarf when I was Scotland for my best friend (goddaughter's mom)
For my other SIL I was thinking of maybe a sparkley tee and some sort of accessories (like the scarf.) She is like a magpie with bling.
For my youngest brother I'm thinking of a set of beer glasses. He got a mini keg dispenser as a wedding gift so I thought it would be cool for him to have some actual glasses to use
Also, he isn't a cook, but made pancakes the other day and was so proud of them! So I thought I'd get him these pancake molds (thanks to the ST'ers who found them for me!)
I haven't a clue yet for my dad or my middle brother. It's a good thing I still have plenty of time.
I'm getting the following (I know because I bought them for somebody to give me! It's just easier that way, you know?)
And I'm thinking about putting these on my list
the first is a creamer & sugar set and the other are appetizer plates

Right now my wish list is a new furnaqce and new water softner...UGH! Or Santa can take care of all the things my kids want for Christmas and I can buy the things my house has decided it HAS to have...
