Guess I better put my thinking cap on and get something up for my family. Christie

Christmas Exchange 2016

 

Christmas 2016 

Since we are getting together in November Ghia suggested that we swap presents then and save on shipping :) 

Riley is back in this year,
but Carver and Jake are out along with Josh not coming in.

  Here is our Exchange List - 

Jason and Family BUYS FOR Christie and Family

Christie and Family BUYS FOR Riley

Ghia and Kirk BUYS FOR Jason and Family

Riley BUYS FOR Steve and Family 

 

Steve and Family BUYS FOR Ghia and Kirk

Review your lists from the past and see if you want to add or change anything. 

Family are growing up!

If you want to submit changes email them to me ASAP, as I am sure everyone will want to get their shopping done soon, and I will put it on the blog.

Same as always - keep the budget between $35-$45 for the family.

Phoenix Colvin's like board games.  I hear the game "Say Anything" is good and we don't have it.

Sorry Steve sent this to me last night, just getting it up this morning.....
 
Hopefully, you'll see this in case black Friday offers some savings.

Steve, Shelly and Boys

We are interested in getting the 1st and 2nd seasons of Sponge Bob (stopped streaming on Netflix). 

Jake 

Jake is interested in gift card to Target (in his college town), gift card to Harkins, or gift card Amazon so he can buy music album.

 Jason, Becky and Kids

I keep asking Jason what is on his list and all I get is a big "eye roll"  so.....I guess the kids wishes will have to do, after all--what makes them happy makes us happy too!  

Our kids are wild about Hexbugs and would love hand me downs from the big cousins if they want to pass along any of the tracks/bugs.  They are really expensive when purchased new!  They each have a few bugs and Christian has one set that catapults the bugs into tunnels but we don't have any of the tracks or battle grounds (i think they are called?).  They have also been asking for the Aquabots that go in the water.  

Kids also love books right now, they would enjoy the Harry Potter set that we could read as a family or any other good book series you think we might enjoy. 

Family games are always a hit.  

We love to indulge in Dominos Pizza and also have a Dunkin Doughnuts close by if you want to give a gift card, if we indulge in a movie our closest cinema is Bowtie or Regal.

Becky

I haven't talked to Carver, but.... Edited 11/28/15 okay, I have heard from Carver....

Of course everything computer.

• There's some fun computer geek t-shirts out there. He wears a medium. 
• Or other computer geek paraphernalia.
• A Steam Gift Card (I already suggested this, but is is what he mentioned also)
• Google Play Gift Card
 

He enjoys music, but has pretty good access to music, so I don't think he needs anything there.

He enjoys reading books in his down time. He likes Orson Scott Card books, but I believe he has read most of his books, don't know if he has anything new out, in the last year. So other authors similar to him he would probably like.

***updated - Food Gift Cards - Chick-fil-A is what he suggested

So until I hear something from him, this is what I can suggest. I can put you in contact with him if you want.

Carver's Mom

Okay, on my view of the blog, Ghia's comment is hidden unless you know to look for it and click on it, so I am going to post it so that everyone will see it without having to look for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok some how I published on this blog before but even with Christie’s written directions it isn’t working for me. So, I’m going to try posting this as a comment and see if it shows up.
Everything on my old list is still accurate, except the pizza pan. I did think of a couple things I could add.
 
Kirk keeps loosing his tape measures so I figure he needs a couple more. He likes the orange construction ones because the bright color is easy to find but any size and style would be great. Get as many as you like he will find a place to use them or at least be able to find one when he needs it.
 
My request is similar. I need as many reading glasses as I can get. A set from Costco would be nice or I like the fun frames at Michael’s. I need 1.5 or 1.75 power.

Thanks, ghia
