Gift Giving
What gift or gifts are you most looking forward to giving this Christmas?
My 11 yr old has been asking for a gas powered mini bike. So I've told him Santa might bring him an upgraded razor this Christmas, but he doesn't want electric (even kids know electric is no fun). So I got him a mini bike and some upgrades. |

My 9 nieces and nephews are all between 21 and 30. I'm at a loss. I had so much fun when they were younger, getting the perfect gift for each of them. Now, they have everything and if there is a want, it's a big ticket want. So I give them cash. I hate doing that. I feel like it's lazy and a cop out. They don't seem to mind.
But it's not the same. I so enjoyed coming up with what to get each of them and the look on their faces, them jumping up and down and carrying on over what a great gift. That's what made my Christmas.

Thanks to my family's "Proclamation No Presentation" between siblings three decades ago, nobody can spend more than $1.00 on a gift for anyone over age 18...and re-gifting is permitted. Parents are excluded, so I have to ship something to my mom that I have already obtained.
There is only one nephew left under 18 that I need to buy a gift for, and he is really easy to shop for.....

Back in the 1970's when the sale of gold/silver became legal again, I asked my parents and grandparents for an ounce of gold each ($32/ounce) in lieu of gifts. I'll let you do the math.....
