Christmas shopping almost done ...

and I am doing really well at staying under my estimates! I got all three of our niece/nephews done for $30 each. Thanks to black friday deals I got great presents they are going to love! My two youngest sons have some really great gifts they are going to truly enjoy - and again, thanks to good shopping on my part, no item over $25! Oldest ds is another story. Being 15, he is a little harder to shop for. I did get a great deal on a camcorder for him ($30 on black friday!); I am going to get him a couple music journals he can write his own music in, and am still trying to figure if we can swing the guitar he really really wants. My parents and my in-laws are done and under budget - again got to love that black friday! My in-laws microwave is about shot, and I got them a pretty nice one at Target for $24! I ordered a steeler jersey for dh - thanks to bulk ordering at bil's $50 - so he's only getting one gift but he is gonna love it!I hate to brag but i did awesome! I usually stress and end up over budget trying to make sure I get something everyone will love, but this year is really working out well, and I can't help but brag a little!

Teens can be a challenge.

He wants the Fender DG-16, it is a 12 string acoustic/electric (also $399 - must be the magic number). He has a Gibson epi acoustic, a strat electric, and a nice collectors les paul he got from my dad, so it's not something he has to have to play. He recently sold an older washburn that he bought himself, and if we can't make the guitar happen he is going to save for it. I just feel really badly, because he doesn't hardly ever ask for anything. All summer he worked and paid for his stuff, and is just now running out of his own spending money. So, will see what I can do, maybe I will split it with him, we did that for his bow last year. Have a happy holiday!
