What a cheek......If you buy what they have asked you to you will be setting the standard for the future!!\nBuy what you want to buy for your niece, and spend the amount you wish on it.\nSomeone needs to tell these parents that they are being a little presumptuous !!!

there are tons of craft bazaars going on this time of year.  maybe bake some treats and sell them.  trust me, at 1.5 years old they still don't get christmas.  even if he only has 3-4 small things to open he'll be thrilled!!!  good luck!

Parties are my favorite! If you have a x-mas party, you should play white elephant. everyone brings one gift, but not anything fancy, something weird that no one could expect. Then sit in a circle and everyone has a present in their hands (not their own) and decides if they want to open it or choose some one elses. if they choose the one that is in their hands and open it and can't give it up unless some one else wants it. Same if they choose some one elses present. couple rules: they cant have their own present, and one present can only be passed around 2 times! it is really fun. I think you should have an x-mas party, then you can have hot cocoa, watch x-mas movies, go sledding, bake cookies, etc. but if you have a new years party, you can stay up all nite and have an awesome sleep over! have a great party!

Have you looked into Thrift Shops? They can have some neat toys and some good as new. \nAlso you can make items for them or together. Use things in nature like leaves, pinecones, sticks etc. Books at your local library will give you plenty of ideas. Check one out.\n\nYou can go caroling, make cookies, get them involved in helping others like visit a nursing home or senior center. Another cool idea is to make a big Christmas Basket (decorated). As a gift to your kids let them pick a card out of the basket each week for two months (something like that). Put index cards in the basket (decorated with santa, reindeer, candy canes or ?) with an inscription or wish. \nExamples:\nI will take you to the Park for Two Hours\nBake cookies together, you choice of type\nI will play football with you for an afternoon\nI will take you fishing and teach you how (wow)\nWe will go on a 3 hour hike\nWe will go to a local animal park to see the animals\nWe will build sandcastles together at the beach\nWe will go to the local swimming pool to swim\n\nYou can find literally hundreds of things you can do that your kids will enjoy for low cost or no cost. They will LOVE this. Make it fun. Anytime a kid get to spend quality time with a parent they love it more than any toy. This really works, just please try it. But remember to follow through, dont ever not do what they pick. Maybe pick Sunday as they day of the week they pick the adventure.\n\nAlso you can see if the local newspaper will run an ad for you that your kids are not getting Christmas this year. They love humanitarian stories and may feature your family. You can also talk to churches (they have toys and food) or local non-profits like the Family Resource Centers, Boys and Girls Club or get your kids put on an Angel Tree ( people pull the names and buy them a gift, but make sure it is a resonable toy). Womens Centers may help also. Many churches and non-profits have parties for less fortunate kids, I know I used to buy 100 gifts each year and help throw the party. Help is out there start searching.\n\nAll kids deserve CHRISTMAS. Good Luck

Something to pamper her with- new fuzzy slippers, bubble bath, nicely scented lotions, a gift card to the movie theater, a basket of her favorite junk foods, a DVD of her favorite movie, etc. Ask those around her if she's got a favorite scent for perfum or body items. Get her a nice fuzzy soft blanket  to wrap up in. A new bathrobe to wear, a book she's been wanting, a gift card to her favorite clothing shop to use after the baby is born (so she can get some new clothes), etc. Anything you'd buy a not-pregnant person is generally fine to buy a pregnant person.\n\nYou could also go the route of getting her something for the baby, but some women begin to feel like they are invisible and all people see are the baby, so I'd stick with getting HER something. The baby will get plenty of gifts when there is a baby shower, and after s/he is born.

I love being home room mom , I am over my kids Christmas party also.  So far I have bought the biggest stockings I could find for there treat bags and I plan on making sure we fill them up. We want to try and have someone be Santa and have him give each child a present to open ( i am getting playdoh for everyone). We also let the kids draw names and let each kid  get who ever they draw a coloring book and crayons this way every one gets the same gift. We are going to have milk and cookies for snack . One of the games we are playing is you take Vaseline and rub a little bit around there mouth and then have them put ther face in a bowl of cotton balls and see who can get the biggest beard like Santa then as they come up we are going to take there picture so we can make frames to put them in as our craft and they will also have a special keepsake . These are just some of my ideas so far if you have some good ones and would like to share them Email me!!!!

How funny -- my husband has done all of the things you listed (the song is still top of the list).  \n\nHe gave me an awesome b-day present of a hot air balloon trip for my 30th b-day (don't know if I could stomach it now) and another great gift was a surprise gondola ride (wine and chocolate covered strawberries as we cruised Coronado bay as the sun set..)  Horsebackriding was also a fun gift -- the trick is that these were all surprises and the fun part was in guessing where we were headed and then the fun of getting there to see what we were in for!\n\nSo try a neat "experience" like these.  Another cool thing (but you have to really know your wife) is a big household project that you could care less about but you know your wife would love (a fancy new front door that you install -- or have a professional insall -- a cool new chandelier or modern light to replace the old one above the dining room table - just be sur eto get advice from her mom or friend on the taste / appearance of what you select).\n\nGood luck -- you sound like a great husband and I know that takes hard work and dedication  :)

I would make a nice gift basket that the whole family can enjoy - you could do coffees and teas for the adults, hot cocoas for the little ones, and assorted cookies & chocolates along with nice mugs for each of them. Most of this can be found pretty inexpensively if you look. \n\nOr, you can also do a pasta bowl, loaded with pastas, a couple different gourmet sauces, a pasta server, grated cheese, etc. \n\nOR, you can do a snack basket - popcorn, munchies, soda & beer, and if you wanted to, throw in a game or some movie rentals. \n\nSince you don't know them, it's tough. But you've been with your beau for a while and if he's bringing you to meet them, you're probably going to be around for a while, so buying that first gift without knowing them is hard. Good luck!

If you only have 100....you need to scale your giving list down.  Scale back friends before family.....try to get the list down to ten or fifteen.\n\nWith what is left....why not make a calandar with pictures taken throughout the year.  Your computer software should have a template for making a calandar.  All you need is paper and a stapler!!\n\nIf you insist on giving all 25 people a present.  I would start hitting some yard sales or garage sales in your area.  You can always find interesting things at them....and most for under a couple of bucks!!!  Buy Christmas wrap in bulk....one big roll should wrap all your gifts!!\n\nGo on Craigslist....look for free stuff.  You never know what you may find for free.  One person's junk is another person's fabuluos Christmas present!!!\n\nGood luck with that!!!
