I've been very lucky this year and have found some awesome gifts for the people on my list. I'm just thankful that my list is on the smaller side. Now that I have just about finished I'm picking up a couple of gift certificates to add to the few gifts I've bought. Now that I'm working just this part time job and the money I'm earning on mylot I'm finding it a lot easier this year to buy great gifts for my family.
Is there anyone on your list that you can't think of a thing to get them for Christmas? What do you end up doing in this situation?

I usually have all of my Christmas shopping done by early December, ctry, and I never find it hard to decide what to get each one. If I do have doubts about a gift I will just come out and ask the person what they would like. I always feel that everyone should be like me-I'm always happy with anything anyone gives me.

lol...I feel the same way. Everyone should just be happy with their gifts. I've always been lucky (or they lie to me...lol) and everyone loves their gifts.

This year, like most years, I'm having a hard time thinking of what to get for my mom. My brothers and sister don't have any ideas either. She has everything that should could want and won't tell us what she wants anyway. I think this year were all going to put money on a visa debit card and then she can buy whatever she wants or needs. I think that this may be the best solution to our problem.

So far I think the mothers are the hardest to buy for and I totally agree. I also agree that the Visa debit card is an awesome idea but check it out because the one I have charges $1 each time I use it!

I am have a hard time with a few people on my Christmas list, but I find that gift certificates make an awesonme gift so then the person can get whatever they want! I will probably be getting quite a few of those this year.

They are the best thing to give as gifts. I'm picking up quite a few myself this year.

I hate having to find the "perfect" christmas presents for people. It seems it doesn't matter what you buy people, that it is never what they wanted. Plus, when you're short on money you hate the idea of having to spend money you really don't have on people you feel "obligated to buy for". My parents for example, of course you need to buy something for them but I only hear from them maybe once every few months and have no idea what they even like. So it seems like a waste to have to go out and spend money guessing what they like, when really after christmas all you have is a few disappointed family members and an empty wallet. If these situations, I usually just buy a gift card for a reasonable amount and give it to them combined.

I think gift cards are the best thing that ever happened to us! That way they can buy whatever they want.
