So he can carry them around all the time.
1.I bought my little nephew an animal at their local zoo.
God & Man
I adopted a snow leopard in his name.
2.I bought my ex-wife a full day spa package with massage.
I felt she deserved a day.
3.My sister had a shirt that she loved for over a decade.
My sister was super upset but way too nice to say anything.
You cant even find pictures of this shirt online, so buying it was out of the question.
4.I made pen pal kits for my parents and in-laws.
We dont live near my family and my husbands parents are snow birds so they are gone all winter.
And also included a game of tic tac toe which they will mail back and forth.
I included postage and a note to let them know that my son wants to hear from them.
I saw the idea on uncommongoods.com and made my own version.
Theyre starting to fall apart.
I pulled them from the trash and had them framed.
Theyll be the start of the decor in his man cave.
6.My dad used to play Dungeons and Dragons when he was a kid in the 70s.
I cant wait until he opens it!

12.My boyfriend is a streamer on Twitch.
13.I bought my mom a car.
Its used but with only 7k miles.
Small SUV with all the fixins.
Shes incredibly hard working.
But she never let us go without if she could help it.
Fast forward to today.
Im making six figures, and shes driving that same clunker which got us out of an impossible situation.
She generally refuses any financial help that I offer.
But Ill be damned if she goes without now that I have the means to take care of her.
14.I got my wife a Disney Magic Band with all the Disney dogs on it.
Its a limited edition, and its probably the best gift Ive ever found for her.

First time I feel Ive done a good job gift shopping for anyone.
17.I got my sister and her fiance a bird feeder!
I hope itll bring a little life into their home.
It says Im glad I picked youname.
Cheesy maybe, but I hope he likes it.
The rest useful stuff he wants/needs.
I spent way too long figuring out what to get tbh.

28.Found a guy who types custom poems on a vintage typewriter for people about anything, or anyone!
29.I started at the beginning of this year and collected thrifted books for her.
I put them in a large basket and will give it to her Christmas Eve.
She loves to read so I hope she likes it.
31.I reserved shares for each of my nieces & nephews to own a fraction of a Andy Warhol painting.
Hopefully it will give them an appreciation for art, too.
32.Its my first Christmas being spent with my SO.
Wanted something that would make them laugh.
I spent a couple hours photoshopping our heads on to regal oil painting portraits.
Getting them blown up and framed to hang above the mantle.
Since everyone in our family loves cats and dogs, it seemed a perfect, unique choice.
35.My wife and I spent our 30th anniversary in Florence, Italy.
On our way back from dinner we stopped in a square to listen to a solo violinist.
He finished a tune and started another just as we sat down.

It was amazing and very emotional for us.
When we got home I found an artist on Reddit who does amazing watercolors.
Its being framed right now and I cannot wait to give it to her.
Not even in the gift shops…
I found every kind of seashell but no sand dollars.
So, before I left, I put some sand in a bottle and stuck a dollar in there.
Hope she likes her present, though it isnt exactly what she wanted
37.My parents love classic cars.
I got them each an original print ad that ran the year each of their cars were made.
I cant wait to see their faces.
I think I made some pretty personal and unique gifts for them!
And I was done before December 1st, also a unique happening.
Cant wait to propose!
40.Were a family of motorcyclists, so I have bought everyone a Gremlin Bell.
Its a small pewter bell you hang from your motorcycle to scare the road gremlins away.
The ones that cause mechanical issues and accidents to happen.
You cant buy them for yourself as they need to be gifted with love to activate their power.
It took ages to make, but it turned out amazingly.
I saw a little pineapple drawstring bag.
It suddenly hit me to use it as a dice bag for her.
Im going to DM her first D&D game and give her some sparkly dice with the bag.
Shes been wanting to play.
44.A friend I met recently has always dreamed of spending the holidays in New Zealand.
Hopefully it goes over well…?
Hoping hell love it.
