Christmas (or other holiday) list for your mom

[hismajesty]

My mom sucks and didn't give me a list. I know she wants gloves and "cooking stuff"  but nothing specific. I need ideas.

So far my only thing that I will probably get are these gloves, I was told by a girl I know that they're pretty nice.

Usually I get her cooking things (but she usually writes down what she wants.) Or jewelry, pearls to be exact, but I've already given her a necklace and earrings and all so...

What are you guys doing? Maybe you can help me out.

Big teddy bear and big box of chocolates always does the trick. I'm Going tommorow to get presents for people btw.

[hismajesty]

Yeah that's my plan, I asked my mom if I could borrow the car and go up to the mall tommorow afternoon. She said maybe.

Topaz: I'm trying to avoid jewelry this year.

We don't celebrate Christmas. Say you're Jewish.

I celebrate Quanza! When is it anyhow? =p.

For my mom, nothing. For Natasha, one of them 25 cent rings from Walmart, if I remember.

You mean Kwanza?

Yoni: But then I'd have to give her 8 gifts, right?

Hmm, my mom doesn't tell me what she wants, either, but I spend a lot of time with her so I get some idea what she needs. 

We got her:
- Tickets for Bryan Adams' concert, plus a card to put them in (with a penguin which hugs them!)
- Eraseable calendar for the fridge (we have one, but it's from '98 and kinda sucks)
- Pens, pencils (for a container that's looking pretty bare)
- Bathroom scale

And I forget what else.  The main thing was the concert tickets, though

heh

For my mom:
Some sort of lamp thing (I can't remember & my sister picked it out)

For my dad:
Jimmy Carter's latest book
NMSU Hat

For my sister:
....?  help?
*sigh*....
probably too late

[hismajesty]

Hm. My mom also wants new perfume, either Ralph Lauren Blue or Chanel. So, I'm guessing I'm gonna get her the gloves, and the perfume. And maybe a new wallet or handbag or something. I took $200 out of the bank (actually my dad did, I don't know if he took it out of his account or mine) and I have like $80 in my wallet. I have no clue what to get my dad, but I'm going to get my sister a Disney MixStick if I can find one! I don't want to make the trek to WAL-MART and that's the only place I've seen it. I hate that store, it's sooooo busy here now that they've made it into a super wal-mart.

Ugh.

umm... It looks like you paid $1999 for a piece of paper upon which somebody wrote "Bryan Adams Admit 1" with a red marker.

Great penguin though.

WTF!?  CRAP!!!

Actually, that's how they do tickets in Canada.  It's honor system.  I was going to draw a Maple Leaf on it, too, but it would look more like a red bush, so...

But seriously, my sister has the real tickets, and she hasn't been here since we bought the card. 

Great penguin though.

!  A Linuxier one would have been better, but we can't always get what we want..

Home from mall. Three hours of walking around yielded the gloves and Chanel No. 5 perfume. For a grand total of $173.25, and I'll probably end up getting her either a Etienne Aigner handbag or wallet.

Ugh.

For my dad I got him two golf shirts, he's really hard to buy for but he's been getting more into golf recently (read, playing it with friends not just watching it and sometimes playing). So. Whatever.

Edit: I bought the bag online, hopefully it gets here in time. But, ugh, now my mom says she wants a gift certificate to a spa for a facial/manicure. I've already spent over $200.
