It is hard to find something that people didn't know they wanted/needed... And you can buy consumables. I didn't mean they had to be homemade :)

Actually, the biggest problem with consumables is that everyone seems to have diet restrictions these days. I'm a little high strung when it comes to gifts. (¬_¬) I'm always going to wonder if I picked the right thing.

And I buy stuff I want and tell them to give it back if they don't like it :p It's the thought that counts, and luckily that's enough for my family and friends :) I had an ex though with a really uptight Christmas family. I feel your pain! :(
 
I'm all for consumables and things with function, or experiences, like theater tickets etc. Last year we got a gift card to a store with a note to buy new pillows and duvets, that was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. :)

I also usually make something myself every year. Cookies, jam, fudge, mustard, mushroom preserves, bread... Usually I've loved thinking about what to make and making them, but this year I'm just not feeling it and I was thinking about skipping that tradition. Now J's mom and grandpa have both mentioned several times how excited they are to see what I'm going to make this year, and when J asked his mom if there's something she'd like to get, the only thing she mentioned was something I have made.

So I guess I gotta start thinking about something. I feel enormous pressure about it now. Not much fun.

I feel your pain, seela. Every year I make cookies for Mister to bring to work for different people. Just recently I talked with one of his employees and one of the first things she asked was, "are you going to make cookies this year?"
(ノ_<) Yes, I'm making cookies. I don't mind making cookies, it's piling on different projects that seems to be the trouble.

The gifts are all individual and they're for close family and friends. The same family and friends have been known to ask us if we'll take some of their gifted consumables off their hands because they either don't eat it or don't have people visit enough to pawn it off in that way. I find that I typically don't want food gifts unless it's my favorite chocolates. I'm very particular about food and I assume most people have preferences that I just won't know or understand. I don't really know anything about wine so I'd be the worst at picking something to give as a gift and personally I hate it so I would be rather let down to receive it.
 
I just ran across a message board for shaving enthusiasts. It was quite interesting.

I was searching for, of all things, guidance on storing pie.
 
I plan on surprising cat with plates of fancy meat like salmon, rabbit and duck or something to that effect. Along with tinsel for her to tear at.
I assume she'll get me a wheezing half-alive pigeon, but it's the thought that counts right?
 
SHE is in Fla visiting family & I'm alone this Thanksgiving - baked Cornish hen for me. With oven fresh cookies!

Lessee, clean the bedroom or the bathroom next?
 
I'm suffering from a distinct lack of drinks...and not being in control of the bar...will just have to wait. Ugh.
 
I don't recommend drinking in place of eating. I don't really remember the day and was just told all the stuff I did. I'm severely motivated when drunk apparently.

Is the host struggling? Are they the kind of host that would welcome help?

' gosh X you are doing such an amazing job, this looks amazing, I feel so spoiled, can I help, could I perhaps check everyone is ok for drinks......"

(Love from Elle, who needs a glass in her hand at family gatherings :eek:)

I am neither an ungracious nor a lazy guest at these large family gatherings. This year I brought and was wearing my own apron when I blurted the above.

By the time I believed I was more than over due for a drink in my hand, I had cleared dishes twice, done all the pots and other hand wash in the sink twice, cleaned the sink, helped prep appetizers and kept 4 teenage nephews in hand.

Our hosts are lovely and generous and her home is nearly as comfortable as my own and Thanksgiving is a 3 day event, not just a single meal.

My blurt was simply a matter of hosting style. I would have opened the bar earlier. And had mimosas with breakfast.

Rest assured, there was no lack of gratitude or assistance.

Appreciate the reminder. :heart:
