If you are far away it doesn’t work, but we are 2.5 hours so we make it a day trip with the kids and do one in January and one in february.


This is the best gift.

I get my family members a calendar sweepstakes (the ones where you can win a prize each month all year) for an organization we all hold dear. We also do a photo calendar of all the kids with family birthdates and anniversaries. It doesn’t take up much room and they love getting them. Lastly I send everyone breakfast English muffins from Wolfermans which is now a family tradition to have Christmas morning. Its nice to think we’re all doing it in our separate homes!

So far I have plants, flowers, a throw blanket…

That’s all I have.


Flowers are nice and they eventually wither and can be thrown out. The rest take up space. I think I have at least 10 throws all gifted to me.


I don't understand throw blankets. They just seem to take up space and we don't use them.


Pp above with 10 throws. They are useful when you are sitting on a chair or couch and feel a little chilly. You really only need a few.

No offense but most people (women) in this age group have preferences for certain lotions and they typically buy it themselves. And it's a rather impersonal gift - like what you'd get from an office grab-bag.
