What are you getting your family for Xmas?

So the holiday is around the corner and once again people are looking to shop for Christmas presents. As with millions of others, some of us won't know what to get. On the one hand you don't want to overspend and on the other you want to buy something that they will like.

Thus please share your Xmas gift ideas in here. Hopefully we can compile a nice list so others can learn/share/take from it what they need to buy great gifts for their loved ones.

PS- please keep it PG-13. No nasty ass stuff that you "would like" to get for your gf, wife, etc.

I'll start- I'm not sure what to get for everyone yet but my dad looked at a razor at a local "The Art of Shaving" store and liked it so that's something for me to consider.

Probably should ask the Southeast regional subforum.

IT'S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING YET!!!!

My youngest son (10) will probably get a waffle iron. It will really irk my brother because he threw a FIT one year when my parents bought him one.

Oldest son (24) will probably get a TV. I can't remember what happened to his, but I get tired of finding him in my bed watching TV.

We're looking at GPS units for my parents.

Middle son (22) will probably get money for a trip to see his dad in Vegas.

Wife is getting new rubber for the E90 (today)

We're going to the cabin for a week between Christmas and NYE, pray for snow!!!!!


Best regards,
Wede

Wait...your brother gets a $40,000 car and your Dad gets a shirt

Sounds like some family therapy is what is really needed

Haha. My dad just bought an SLR and he pretty much gets everything he wants. The only thing he's ever really wanted for Christmas/Birthday/Father's day/etc are Ralph Lauren Polo shirts.
