DH grabbed the gift card for me as he was picking up a few things at the store.
Found Some hot chocolate in a nice container that doesn’t look Christmasy for SIL February birthday.
Picked up the candy for a advent calendar and extra candy will go in DD’s birthday (27th) gift.
This morning I picked up a little bath kit to finish off my DGD gift and a box of bath flowers to put away for her birthday next year. Will just need to add a gift card and her b-day gift will be complete.

I might have enough for DH but I am falling behind on Josh and Jin and since our Hanukkah party is early this year, despite Hanukkah being late, I must get together gifts for other family/friends.

Husband stopped at Lowes to get a lavender mini Kobalt tool chest for my cousin. Not sure if it will before birthday or Christmas next year. If you haven’t seen them they are really cute. Great for any hobby person. And great colors. Husband got me a hot pink one for my birthday :)

This sounds really cute. I wonder if I can find something similar here?

Ordered a book apiece for Josh and Jin and a Carhart _DH's favorite haberdasher - for DH.

I have a puzzle for Jin and a Lego for Josh as well as the towels they requested and a fancy bottle of maple syrup.

Working on it!

I think I am just about finished. I need a gift card to the supermarket for DS and will pop it into his box that I will be posting this week.

The kids are done. I overdid it.

Need to find maybe one more thing for my husband.

Everyone is done on my side of the family but a GC to add to my parents' gift.

On his side, I need to buy several GC for people who are picky or otherwise hard to buy for.

I got BBW hand soaps yesterday for all the church and co-op teachers/leaders.

I think I am finished. Got DH one more present last week, he mentioned that he would like something, a wall stud finder so I went and got that.
I also picked him and DSonIL a mini ice cream maker that I saw at KMart. A novelty item really but thought it looked fun. Not sure what the quality will be like.

Found some slipper socks for husband at the gift shop. They were on sale and Ohio state themed. Hopefully they fit his big feet!

There have been some wonderful gifts bought this year. Between Christmas and NY I am going to go through this thread again and jot down some of the great ideas for future use.

I was very thankful to have my gift closet. I pulled out a crystal candy dish and filled it with Lindt truffles for our small group's gift exchange. I have one candy dish left. Then I had a set of flour sack towels that were stolen right away in the exchange and would have been stolen again but the one who was going to do the stealing saw how much the person with the towels wanted them. I remembered that I had another set of towels in the gift closet, so I wrapped them up and gifted them on Christmas Eve. I'm starting to run low, so I'll work on building it up for 2025. I really miss the gift shop in Virginia; with my volunteer discount, I was always able to pick up some great gifts.

BTW, the recipient of the candy dish is calling it the magic dish. First it held Lindt truffles, then Hershey's Nuggets, and now he just posted a photo with Ghirardelli squares. It appears to be the dish that keeps on filling! ;)
