Shopping was excellent, Legally Blonde was mediocre and slightly offensive. I'll elaborate on Legally Blonde in a separate post but as for shopping... we're almost done for Christmas and got some great deals.
For my Dad - 2 Ralph Lauren Polo shirts & C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream and Body/Shave Gel. There was an amazing sale at Ralph Lauren, $12.99 for polo shirts. The Shaving Cream/Body wash was buy 1 get one free at Bath and Body Works. I'll buy him some lotto tickets to top this off.
For my Step-mom - 3 Yankee Candle Co. jar candles, PJ's - on sale for $4.98 at Target but quite nice and Slippers from Bath and Body Works. The slippers were also buy one get one free so I got a pair as well! My step-mom is done.
My Brother - So far only a funky hoodie with guitars on it, 50% off at J.C. Penny. I have tons left to buy for him.
My Mother-in-law - A Japanese Cherry Blossom purfume gift set from Bath and Body Works, PJ's (same as my step-mom), 3 picture frames. We have more to buy.
Nephew J - Birthday Present - Nick and Nora PJ's from Target. They look like flannel and are really soft and stretchy with a cowboy theme. Christmas Present - Football Hoodie from The Children's Place, and a Shake N Go playset (Cars).
Nephew E - Birthday Present - Nick and Nora PJ's from Target. Same as Nephew J but different pattern, sock monkey and stars. Christmas Present - Hoodie from Children's Place, and a "Bling, Bling" Lightning McQueen (also Disney Cars). I can't find it online but it's a giant car that has buttons you can press to make sounds and lots of stuff to touch like the rims which spin and and the ability to move his eyes. Nephew E is blind so we wanted to find something with lots of things to touch and buttons to press.
Niece - A - Christmas Present - A cute Hoodie from Target, leggings and a Nick and Nora nightgown. We need to buy her a toy.
Since we're banned from the kids we're buying less than last year. We don't know how my SIL will react to the presents. Hopefully she'll understand the children shouldn't suffer and not throw them out. Normally we go crazy buying clothes for them but this year we won't. When they need/want our help again they can ask.
My family is big on buying for kids, not adults. This means I have a lot of work to get my brother's gifts ready but I can finish up my Dad and step-mom quickly. D's family isn't like that so we'll need to still do some shopping for her mom.
