What is a good light read, these days?
That's why I'm asking :)
What kind of perfume do you like/want? J'Adore
What kind of men's cologne? Gaultier for DH and a gift sampler for DS (I got this at Shoppers, it has 10 samples for $75, you chose 1 and get a full sized bottle included in the price - I knew my son wanted Hugo Boss, Just Different and it's one of the samples so it's a win win as the full size, sells separately for $95)
New CD's? I'd like Bruno Mars
New DVD's Blu Ray's? Not much of a movie watcher.
Electronics? Getting DD a Kindle Fire, probably
Kitchen Gadgets? Got DD a Kuerig - love em, and a raclette and DS an electric Fondue (cause he loves em and wants to impress the girls, hehe)
Tools? Not for me!
Clothes? I'll pick my own, thank you very much
Jewelry? Would love a new bracelet and ankle bracelet - two tone white and yellow gold
Do you like getting Gift Certificates? Money? Not so much, depends on where. I like $ from my Dad!
What kind of certificates? Pedicure, nice restaurant.
Do you like surprises or getting what's on your list, lol? Both!

What is a good light read, these days? I'm not really into light reads but The Help was one that was light and humorous but still had a deep meaning, loved it.
What kind of perfume do you like/want? Givenchy Organza Indecence(I'm not out but it's the only one I wear)
What kind of men's cologne?My son will be sending me his list and none will be under $100 that's all I know.
New CD's? Niece wants the new Justin Bieber CD
New DVD's Blu Ray's?Youngest niece will give me a list of these, no clue what is even out as I never buy for us.
Electronics? My son wants an Iphone but his existing one is still under contract so he can wait. I think I may buy Charlie a GPS for the truck. I have all my electronics that I want/need. One niece wants a new Sims PC game and nephew wants the new Xbox game but I forget the name.
Kitchen Gadgets?These are always on my list. I want a 6 quart or larger Le Creuset and a new kitchen.
Tools? Am buying him Dewalt cordless tools to leave at the cottage
Clothes? I don't buy clothes for anyone and don't want anyone buying me clothes
Jewelry? I asked for emerald earrings and if Santa doesn't come through I will do some post holiday shopping for myself in this department. We are having our wedding bands designed so that will be a huge jewelry purchase in the next few months.
Do you like getting Gift Certificates? Money? Gift certificates for services yes, for specific stores no, money not really.
What kind of certificates? Massage, pedicure, highlights.
Do you like surprises or getting what's on your list, lol? I like to make a vague list but then be surprised.
Anything you would like to add? I haven't bought a damn thing yet, very little idea what I am buying for most people, still don't have my tree up and it has to be up by Thursday. If anyone has ideas to buy for their elderly mom and dad, I"m game for ideas. They are separated so separate gifts.

The Help, sounds like a great choice! I want to get my sister a light read for the plane and our trip.
Although I've heard of them before, I had to google le creuset. Do you have others? I'm in the market for a new set of pots and pans, do you have any recommendations? I'm partial to those that can go in the oven as well as stove top with glass lids (can those go in the oven)? My biggest question is to get lids with or without a vent? I figure you are a kitchen expert, lol!
New Kitchen? Go high or stay home, lol!
Great ideas!
I bought my Mom a gift certificate for a massage, manicure and pedicure, would your Mom like something like that?

Le Creuset that I want are like dutch ovens so they can go from the stovetop to the oven to the table. I bought 3 sets of pots and pans in the last 4 years for various people and places, and I ended up going with the same ones each time because I simply love them. I bought Cuisinart ones and they have the glass lid and the straining vents on each lid so no need for a colander.
I got my mom something like that years ago and she refused to use it. She doesn't like being pampered at all.
As for the kitchen, it will be a complete redo but I'm not going super high end as we plan on selling this house when done the renos. I am holding out for granite countertops for our next house.

I dont buy gifts for anyone except my 4 year old nephew. Everyone else either gets cash or a gift card.
For my nephew - Cars Wii Game & Cars DVDs & $100 gift card [so his mom can buy a swing set in the summer]
Nieces - they both get $100 each and I buy them chocolates from my dogs :) They're 15 & 13 years old. I never know what they're into or what they want. Money is always good.
I normally dont buy anything for my brother and his wife but since they just bought their first house, I may get them a gift card for Home Depot or Canadian Tire.
My sister and her hubby are fairly well off and I never know what to get them. They both like to cook so Im thinking either cookbooks or a giftcard to Chapters.

Good Light Read- The Help, anything by James Patterson (like the Alex Cross series) and put the latest on my list.
Perfume- I always liked Sung by Alfred Sung, but I am looking for a new one for the new me!
Men's Cologne- Ladies you have got to smell " Pie" (not food but the math symbol) by Givenchy for men-make you want to tear his clothes off...sold at Sears, Bay, Shoppers...yummmm.
CD's-I've been going old school,-Eagles greatest hits, Rumors-Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart remakes of classics. I love music so hard to go wrong here.
DVD's- I like box sets of series shows to give. Gave my daughter the Imax National Geographic and she loved it.
Electronics-would like to get a Kobo or Kindle
Kitchen Gadgets-Keurig, Kitchen aid Mix master- attachments. Love my mixer would like to try some of the attachments.
Tools-Would like a light weight cordless drill.
Clothes-I prefer to buy my own but never mind getting a new housecoat.
Jewelry-Who doesn't love it. I would like a nice bracele****ch.
Gift Certificates-Not really, ok if they are for pedicures or movies though.
Do you like surprises or getting what's on your list>- Both.
Other- I create a polymer Santa sculpture nearly every year and customize it to the person I give it too. They are one of a kind, usually take me 20 hours to design, build, bake, and decorate but when I give them I enjoy it as much as any gift I could have bought. Love homemade gifts.
