Twiggy is here I can’t risk it 😶
Or is it an opportunity for a psyop campaign for that coat you want......
I have a pretty good guess of what I’m getting lol
I just can’t tell y’all what I got for her.
Saw this on my wife’s Pinterest board I’m so proud of her
thrifted some jeans and misc fabric donors and am gonna get to work on them this week 😤
My brother always talks about how much he likes one of my cat sweaters so I’m going to get him something similar.
I’m gonna get my gf something fun I find on my trip
plottwist: Its on her board bc she wants to get something like this for you.
She knows better than to get me clothes tbh
i can’t give them gifts this year bc moving spensive, buuuut…
- for birthdays it’s usually funny socks
- otherwise if they have a list i’m getting them smth off of that
- also i want to get my mom a bagel cutter bc she and i both hate uncut bagels
My family usually does Amazon lists (liking the lists less and less as time goes on)
amazon lists being weirdly restrictive is the bane of my existence
Yeah I miss when you used to be able to add ideas
Because then I could add stuff to the list that wasn't on amazon or that I didn't trust from amazon
check out mywishlist.online
we've been using it in my family for a few years now
idk how to post a link without it linking to my personal wishlist lmfao
I would try and convice my family to use something else, but my grandparents have used amazon for at least the past 10 years and I don't think they could learn how to use something else
For now I just put external links in my list's description
Anyways, getting my dad a bat house, a nice memory foam pillow for my mom, a book for my brother, and Stray for my sister
yeah that one
penzys gift cards all around lol

I have no idea how the other one above works because I didn't look but this lets you mark off things as you buy them so no risk of someone else buying a duplicate
Got my wife an emulator handheld so she can play Banjo and Kazooie and watch bake off at the same time.
my dad's list was literally just "1. a puzzle, 2. you choose but i really like puzzles" what a guy
getting both my mom and sister deadstock perfumes and mr zeo a set of wooden cutting boards and cooking tools
im absolutely stumped on what to get my family
they'll just say like
"Oh no we have everything we could possibly want already"
are letters lame
My mother is a woman almost entirely devoid of hobbies so figuring out what to get her goes down to the wire every year
Conversely my father collects a new hobby every month or so and my brother is addicted to spending money on pokemon plushies so their gifts basically solve themselves
ya i think my fam is p much the same
i might just like
kick it down the road
bc they're visiting me in february
i dont want to pay for intl shipping.... when theyll come here anyway
even though all of them read i feel books are probably terrible gifts
bc noah will read them
Every year my dad asks for pretzel mms. I always feel bad about only getting him that so I inevitably end up disappointing him with something else.
every year I'm like this is the last year I wait until the week before Christmas to buy my gifts
well it's December 8 and I haven't gotten anything yet lol
:uniqlo: for Dad.
I got someone a candle last year, this year I’ll get her two
One for her and her boyfriend
