Katie is feeling a little under the weather today and asked me to do the question. Feel better soon, Katie.


Who's the hardest person to shop for on your holiday list?

My older brothers are. I never have any idea what they want, and even if I did, chances are the items would all be expensive. (I.E. one of the two wants a really good microphone to record himself along with his guitar.
I'll be able to get him that in, oh, ten or so years...)

My father. How do you buy for someone who just goes out and buys anything he wants, whenever he wants it? He does collect German WWII stamps, but I haven't a clue which ones he needs...

John is absolutely the hardest person to shop for because his interests change constantly. This week he's into boats, next week it may be something entirely different and he could care less about the boats.

Either my Dad or my brother. There are only so many Home Depot gift cards I can give in a year

My BF Jon. He is very difficult on a daily basis so Christmas should be no different


I love him dearly though
even though I want to strangle him when it is 2 weeks before Christmas and he still hasn't decided what he wants!!!

We don't have too many problem people. DH's mom - we get her gift certificates to WalMart or a grocery store so we know she won't waste the money.

My mom - we get her dinner certificates when she goes out.

The kids - most times they wind up with mainly gift cards to pick out something cause they like certain "brands" and its easier for them to pick out their own clothes instead of us choosing.

my MOM!!!

She is very ungrateful too...whatever you get her, she just flings it aside and says "thanks" all sarcastically.

My Husbanad, he is horrible to buy for, inevitably if I buy him something a head of time, he'll go buy himself the same thing. he drives me nuts

Sadly, it is my SO

Everyone else is simple and has hobbies and likes that are easy to shop for.
His biggest hobby is computers and goodness knows I can't pick out the right stuff!
