She has a ton of kids, grandkids, great-grandkids so she opens things when she gets them instead of opening a bazillion on Christmas. She called me two days in a row to tell me how much she loved it. I also made smaller ones for my parents and other Disney friends: <a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=28123&size=big&sort=2&cat=500" target="_blank">http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopo st/showphoto.php?photo=28123&size=big&sort=2&cat=500</a> <a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=28321&sort=2&size=big&cat=500" target="_blank">http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopo st/showphoto.php?photo=28321&sort=2&size=big&cat=500</a> I also am making two mini photo albums with pictures from my SIL's wedding for my MIL and Grammy. As for traditional gifts: I bought Disney books for my Dad, an electric griddle and Disney notepads for my Mom, mixing bowls for FIL, a basket of crafting stuff for MIL, a basket of things for Grammy (kitchen towel, candle, photos, ornament), camping supplies for BIL, Acacia platter and appetizer plates for SIL, doormat for Grandpa. DH is getting a portable DVD player, Brisco County Jr DVDs, wallet, flash drive, JohnS1's book and a Foxtrot book. The exchange gifts are a game called Smarty Party, Barnes&Noble gift card, giant container of pistachios, and one of those windup/solar powered emergeny flashlight/radios.

Originally Posted By hopemax > Everyone got WDW gifts this year... and most got lots of treasures as I found them at the cast discount store This is more appropriate for the "What are you getting thread." But I know about 75% of the gifts for DH and I from my parents are coming from here too. I keep getting phone calls..."So we went to the Salsa sale again..."

My dad is getting this very cool back massager from Brookstone. He can use it in his chair or in the car when he and my stepmom travel. My brother is getting a cool clock from Brookstone, Starbucks coffee beans and a Starbucks gift card. We bought my stepmom a great outfit and and two mock turtleneck shirts to go with it. I packed and mailed this stuff out to San Diego. I can't write what we got the kids because there are times when they look over Dad's shoulder when he's on LP and sometimes 2oonlet1 lurks around. I can say that they will be happy campers. That's it for now. We still have to shop for my mom, 2oony's parents, BIL and SIL, aunt, uncle, cousin, my grandma, 2oonlet1's boyfriend and 2oonlet2's best friend. Hopefully we can finish up this weekend.
