So I thought I had all my Christmas shopping done and just real last night that NOPE I'm not.

Before Sunday I need to purchase a gift for my grandmother, my stepfather, and something else small for my father.

Can anyone give me some good suggestions?

grandmother: Bath and Body Works, a "grandma-like" sweater

Stepfather/Father-how about a movie, a new dress shirt, a hand held massager, a tie, a cd

you can also get personalized ornaments, a box of assorted chocolater, maybe a nice vase of flowers, a 2003 claendar, if they're tea drinkers a gift basket of different flavored teas, a girft certificate to their favorite store or restaurant. the list can go on and on

Grandmother-A beautiful magnifying glass. If she takes meds, they have some decorative pill boxes. A down pillow if she isn't allergic. A mini photo album that you BOTH put together from some favorite old photos so she can tell you her stories.

Stepfather/father an oversized towel that is REALLY thick and matches what they have. Those no spill coffee mugs that actually FIT in the holder. fill it with some quality type goody. I know people will laugh, but when was the last time either got some high quality SOCKS! My father-in-law loves music so I got him some CD's of newer artists and he LOVES them. Face it, they may not feal comfortable walking into a CD shop and they may not KNOW who they would really enjoy.

Well I ended up getting my grandmother a small jar for her "Casino Money", a couple of word search books, and a cute notepad.

I ended up getting my stepfather a Best Buy gift certificate, a patriotic candle, and some hologram CD labels (he's really into making his own CDs now).

I didn't find anything else for my dad...
