My neices and nephews are easy, they want all of my pokemon toys and goodies :) I was gonna sell them on eBay but they're only this age and desiring of the Pokemon toys -now-, good to give it before they outgrow it.

I am so not crafty but might attempt to make something for my Mother. More than likely she will get a thrift gift though - she likes antiques and I am sure I can find her something in my second hand shopping. Hubby and I are getting a dog as our gift to each other (costly as we have to get something that is nonallergenic and there are no rescue dogs here of that nature). For my Motherinlaw I am making a food gift and have ordered a photocalendar of pictures from the last 3 years - she is getting dementia and can't remember anyones name so that should help.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-71425683677732044092014-11-06T18:20:15.573-05:002014-11-06T18:20:15.573-05:00I've heard it called that before!
