My stepfather and his wife have everything under to sun so I send them a Honeybaked ham every Christmas, Likewise with my Auntie I make homemade toffee for the person who does my hair and my dry cleaner. I give the super in my building a bottle of champagne and a fifty dollar bill. I give our mailman $20.00. I give my agent champagne and baked goods also.
My other half and I bought a house in Honolulu last year and remodeled and furnished it so that was our Birthday, Christmas and Hanukkah for this year, but I did buy him a little bauble in Santa Fe to put in his stocking from Santa. I have three young people to buy for; I found some cool T-shirts and board shorts in Hawaii at a surf shop.
We go to a open house on Christmas eve every year and there are 10 people to gift there with a 25 dollar limit. I'll either bake something and put it on a nice serving plate or buy booze.

 

[DGirl]

You never wanted to see me when you were here...........

oh well....
But, thanks for the reminder!!
I have to buy a darn gift card for our MAIL person!!!
I got the guy one for Safeways last year...
gonna do the same this year...maybe..
Unless someone has a better idea?
Because, with a gift card from there they can buy whatever card they want..if they HATE safeways...

I'll tell you what I want for Christmas:
A Yamaha Avant Grand upright hybrid piano.
A digital unit that sounds, and plays, just like a grand piano.
Only $15,000.
I think it would be the perfect gift for a certain Aga-owning Welsh businessman to put in my stocking.
(I only need one.)
