Awsome. I'll do that and I won't have to worry about my dad cause it's a two-people gift, so! killing two birds with one stone
As for my boyfriend..., what you did to your wife is truly amazing and you're right, I'm sure that made her day more than any other gift would have. However, everyone expects to get a little something for Christmas. Taking your time to make their day a special one is fine, but also they'd want something they can keep, not a big thing, but just a little something. It's Christmas, there has to be some unwrapping, right? x)

I know that. People are polite and will always be thankful, but I've been giving presents to the same people for many many years, and it's about time I stop getting them the same stuff and come up with something new. I know they'll still like what I get, no matter what, but then it's about getting whatever just so that you can say at least you got something, and that's what I'm trying to change.
Dogs, those are all very nice prezzies! No wonder your grandkids loved them!
My grandad always gives me money. It's easier for him cause he'd go crazy if he had to think of a present for each of his grandchildren (we're only 5, but still, he's not the type to go Christmas shopping), so the fact that you take the time to think of what's best for each of them is very cute. I mean, the money is okay, but I'm sure the appreciate the detail.
