remember birthdays

Gift to niece in Providence, plus 1 for her little sis because we missed hers…

Gift to neph in Phoenix, plus 1 for his little sis because we missed hers…

Luckily the little sisters are too little to get properly offended, or to expect a gift from us in the first place, since we see them so seldom.

Gifts to another neph in Phoenix, to FIL, and to a SIL (actually a Sept. 1 birthday)...all on time! Go team!

He’s so hard to shop for because he’s rich :)

I got him season 1 of Mad Men on Blu-Ray. I’m pretty sure he’d like it, pretty sure he’s never seen it, but if I’m wrong he can always send it back to Amazon! It’ll be a couple days late, but that’s all :)

My brother’s daughter is turning 16, so I got her the 16 Candles poster she wanted at Thanksmas and didn’t get, and also a poster for Bones, which she had also wanted. I hope she doesn’t already have them by now…but if she does, I’m sure she can figure out how to return them for something else, she’s a clever girl :)

We buy gifts for my friend L’s kids, and we got a card + a gift card off to N. in time this week. I also sent my niece who’s turning I think 13 a hoodie from Delia’s, nicely wrapped and everything, with a hoops&yoyo sound card…it’ll get there on the day or a day early.

My friend S. has a birthday on Sunday, so I think I’m going to give her her gift at work on Monday. I figure 1 day late is close enough to call it on time.

We got G’s sister’s gift out yesterday, and it should get there on time. She gets a little nicer gift than everyone else in G’s family :) because she’s G’s only sister (he has 5 brothers) and because she always has us for house guests at the holidays!

On G’s side of the family, we’re buying for, I don’t know, 27 or so people this year? So they all get little presents.

Today we sent his oldest brother and his youngest brother, who share a birthday, 2 pairs of Eddie Bauer socks apiece, along with a card. No big deal, but at least they have something else to open and they know we remembered them. I’m so happy we got them off on time!
