I need gift ideas for a lot of people! no idea what to get them!?

Question

alright for christmas this year, i need to buy presents for a lot of people. i don't have a lot of money, so i was going to try to make some presents, but i'm not terribly good at crafts or making things. so any suggestions on what to buy, or something thats easy to make would be appreciated. sorry this is really long. here's the people i need to buy for:
my mom: she likes games, mostly video games, she is always cleaning, and always wants the house to be in order. she doesn't really wear jewelry, and i would never buy her clothes, because she's very picky about that. i got her candles last year so i wouldn't want to do that again. she also loves christmas ornaments.

my dad: he's really hard to buy for. he doesn't really ever tell us what he wants, and the few things he does want are mostly for his job, which is plumbing, or other really practical things. he likes music, cd's mostly, although he has me burn him cd's off of my music from itunes.

my little sis: she's ten and really odd. she absolutely loves gnomes. she has a collection of them. she also likes rubber ducks and erasers. and fedora hats. she is attached to her nintendo ds. but she also likes what most 10 year olds like, as long as its not make up or clothes.

my cousins: i was only planning on buying for the 2 younger ones: one is 3 the other will only be a month old. both are girls. i probably will be able to tag along on whatever my parents get the 1 month old. but for the 3 year old i have no idea. she already has a bunch of dolls and stuffed animals so i don't really want to get her that. last year, i sewed her a pillow and made one of those tie blanket things.

my grandmas: one i was going to paint a plate and have it fired so she can eat off of it. the other, no idea. i did one of those scratch pictures last year and put it in a frame.

my friends: usually i get them all the same thing. last year i did a little bucket filled with a bunch of stuff, candy, nail polish, a little christmas ornament. i would be willing to get them all something different though, as long as it's not that expensive, as there are about 4-5 of them that i have to get something for

my boyfriend: i don't think we're going to exchange gifts, but if we do, i want something that's inexpensive, and not stupid. i have no idea what. he's pretty practical, though he doesn't like clothes or anything like that.

thanks for all the help. i appreciate it. this was really long

Answer 1

for mom - maybe get her a board game! or Scene It!! http://www.sceneit.com/ they have lots of great versions of this game and the whole family can play! or maybe go to Sephora or Ulta (makeup/beauty stores, google them) and buy things she might like such as an array of nail polishes in her fave color, maybe some different kinds of mascara or different palettes of eyeshadow, etc. or just a gift card for a dinner for two at her fave restaurant or gift card to her fave store! OH or maybe get her some nice smelling lotions or a nice perfume!! or a home-made ornament!

for dad - yes, dads are very hard to buy for! maybe go to a candy shop or chocolatier and get him something from there?? where i live, we have a place called The Chocolate Bar, and i get him a snowman or santa claus shaped chocolate. my dad loves chocolate so he appreciates that! maybe burn him a CD with all his fave songs or get a nice cologne. maybe make him a cake or something delicious and in holiday spirit. maybe get him a tie?? haha. make him a collage or scrapbook with pics of u and him!!

for ur sis - get her a ds game!! a game most ten yr olds like, such as Pet Hotel, Cake Mania, or Cooking Mama. Cake Mania was my FAVE game when i was young!! maybe get her a "Paint by Numbers" kit or an arts and crafts kit. if she likes rubber ducks, then get her a collectable duck. (see sources, celebriducks) maybe get a large bucket and decorate it with duck pictures and stickers, then buy some small, cheap rubber ducks, fill it up to the brim and wrap in it saran wrap. or maybe get her some awesome collectable erasers like Gomu (u can get these at toys r us) http://www.gomu.com/home.php

do kids still like Webkinz?? http://www.webkinz.com/#

maybe go to Justice (was once called Limited Too) and get her a pillow or a diary. Justice is a clothes store, but they also sell cute stuff such as room decor, pajamas and slippers, blankets, pillows, plush chairs, etc.

gnomes...? how interesting.. how about amazon or ebay?? or ur local gardening shop, maybe Lowes or Home Depot in the garden section. also, maybe “Gnomeo and Juliet” would be a good movie to buy her. its Romeo and Juliet, but with a spin. maybe get her a good book!

for ur cousins - little kids are VERY easy to shop for, u dont even need my advice for this one. just go to Target and pick up a pajama set or a plush chair or something. something for their room or maybe arts and crafts, like a paint set or a crayon set. something disney related perhaps? maybe a dvd of their fave show or a movie? just go to Toys R Us or Target and find something they would like. maybe get an interactive book like this one? http://www.hallmark.com/online/in-stores/storybooks/story-buddies/

for grandma: i strongly suggest u go to Bath and Body Works and get some scented lotion or hand soap. my gma loves that! http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/home/index.jsp

maybe get them a bath bomb? http://lushusa.com/shop/products/bath/bath-bombs/

u can get bath bombs at any spa.

nail polish? cosmetics? paint a picture or salad bowl?

for friends - do the same thing u did last yr, get a small bucket and fill it with goodies, candies, mini hand sanitizers (like the ones at bath and body works), samples of perfumes, nail polish, etc. write them a special note about how much they mean to u!!!! maybe plan a girls day out for all of u together.

for ur bf - maybe a little teddy bear?? haha ive already given u soo much advice, plan this one urself!! make sure it comes from the heart
