    In that case, I'll send you some cookies, and you can tell everybody you made them!

    Chocolate chip? ;) And thanks!
    The moment people notice they're edible, they'll also know I'm lying.

    If you don't know what you want, ask for a gift card to a store you like.

    I didn't get any complaints last year. I bought those Martha Stewart boxes at Michaels. They come with some tissue paper and ribbons, etc. They look cute. Then I put those into a bigger box and packed tissue paper or styrofoam peanuts around them, and shipped them priority. I didn't have any really fancy iced ones though.

    I'm a big fan of Real Simple magazine's gift suggestions. December issue should hit racks soon, I'm psyched. They have great, offbeat gift ideas for everyone: parents, siblings, SOs, kids, neighbors, etc.

    My entire family, being all older than me and over 21, is either getting a bottle of wine from a Kentucky winery or a bottle of Bourbon (for my male cousin who will enjoy it more than the rest of my wine-sipping aged relatives).

    As for myself, why should I tell my family what to get me for Christmas? They'll completely ignore it and get me what they think I want anyway. All I wanted for Christmas when I was younger was gift certificates to Barnes and Noble and my relatives insisted on giving me girly clothing that I almost never wore and hair supplies (like curling irons...when it was plainly obvious that I did not NEED a curling iron, I have plenty of curly hair already, thank you). I'll take gift certificates, especially to food places, and cash. That is what I need for Christmas and that's an actual need people, not something I want. I have to start repaying student loans in January. :(

    I got lots of good ideas from there, especially some personalized stuff. It also gives you discount codes for various sites.

    If your family member is interested in a GPS unit, this one is 50% off.

    I just got an iPod touch for my birthday. It's amazing.

    The same thing happened to me last year. What a waste of a day.

    I have several "hard to buy for friends". I'm looking to get some of them the new Starbucks Gold Card for $25.00 which entitles them to a discount on their purchase.

    I just got $100.00 worth of Starbucks gift cards for $80.00 at Costco.
