Gift prep 2024

[DefinitelyNotMe]

We are getting closer to a gift giving season, for you its probably Christmas, for me its New year.
What are you getting for your close once?

Spoiler: My gift choices

Personally i only figured out one present to one of my close friends:
a wooden puzzle of the conflux treasure map, he is a big homm3 fan and i think he will enjoy it very much

for my mom I'm thinking about breakfast pan. weirdly enough me a couple of years ago would never try to gift something like this to anyone, i always tried to gift something fun, but as i get older i started to wish for just useful things. hell I'm actually glad now to get socks as a gift, its one less for me to worry about.

My dad is always the hardest to pick a gift for. He is a type of man if he needs something he just buys it and thats it.
However this year I'm in luck. he recently showed me a video of the portable snow blower to clear his card and he didn't got it yet.

Theres also my older sister which this time I am at a loss. She and her family moved to the other city recently so i have to mail a gift ahead of time and i have zero ideas. She is a mother of 3 and doesnt have a lot of time for hobbies so i thought maybe i should give her something tohelp her relax a bit. But since she isnt around here i cant just buy her a visit to the massage or a spa or something. So if you have any ideas i will be happy to hear them.

Some nice pens.

I got my girl a ladyba plush, she's not big into Pokemon but she love ladybugs and fell in love with this little guy when I told her about him.



I kind of want to keep it for myself, since it's one of my favorite pokemon, but I got myself a Koffing (aka the best pokemon) plush as a consolation.
Im just gonna hand out cards with cash for everyone else since no one ever uses any of the things I give them anyway.

Thank you for the portable snowblower idea. I didn't know something like that existed, I'm stealing that idea for someone on my Christmas list.

Foot bath. Ones with bubbles and foot massagers are pretty reasonable on Amazon, some even come with a solution to put in the water to soothe your feet. After a day of chasing kids around, it's like a 20 minute mini spa visit while you watch your favorite show or read a book.
