I am exhausted! Last night I finished up my baking and then checked through my gift list. I have 2 more names on that list – my Aunt Millie who is too picky to cook anything for, and Ms. Grundy – who has everything!
So, the question I want to ask you is this: Do YOU have one of THOSE people on your list? You know, someone who is really hard to get presents for? Who is that person, and what do YOU do with them every year???
I really want to know!

My mom has everything and when you ask her what she wants she says she wants nothing.

Yup! Every year and birthday, my family and I have a hard time picking out a present for my dad. He is the hardest of all. He is extremely picky. So we usually just give him candy (which he loves) or a DVD. :/

No I don't BUT I have suggestions for those two people! Give your Aunt Mille a cookbook and give miss Grundy a paddle for when Reggie acts up in class

Betty,
I find the people I have a hard time buying gifts for. I go to their favorite store.And get them a gift certificate. I know it sounds like you did not think about the person you are buying for, but it actually works. They are very happy to go and buy something for their self after the holidays. My friend is so hard to buy for. I started the gift card years ago with her and she loves it. She goes shopping when there is a huge sale and gets what she wants and likes. I get a thank you so much. easy that way

For Ms. Grundy, I would say a lovely boquet of Christmas flowers or a pot of pointsettias, and maybe a homemade card or small box of chocolates!

Hiya! Yeah i have that problem....i just get them gift certificate from their favorite shops. For example, if they like music or clothes get a gift certificate for music or clothes shop. I'm getting my friends gift certificates to do their nails.

Hi yall! I think instead of gift cards, do somthing from the heart!!! or take them to their fave place!! thats what my family does! We would go to bennihanas or somthing. One of my friends are coming, and i think we are going to bake for him. Ii love baking!!! its so fun! we are going to make haystacks, chocolate dipped coconet cookies, and a fruitcake. it would be my firsts for all of those, but i will try!!!
Bye yall! STARGIRL

Actually lotts of people I know are really easy to shop for because I've known them for a long time and they tell me what they like,what they want,what their favorite colors are,and so on and so forth.You should try it Betty.It really helps free me from stressful holidays.Just a little tip.
