When I called my mom to ask about Christmas, I was told that I was now a responsible adult and was supposed to take care of all my own Christmas gifts for family members. Basically I was supposed to have them bought, wrapped, and in my trunk for when I arrived home. Fat chance. 

It took me ages to figure out gifts. I got my mom Tales of Beetle the Bard and a sweater. I got my dad the new Warren Buffet book and the Settlers of Catan game, and I got my grandpa a coffee maker. Not bad? But now I am supposed to figure out a generic gift for the family gathering next week. I have no ideas. 

According to sites like  Best Christmas Presents and Ezine Articles the most popular gifts are ipods and video game systems + games. Well, that won't quite work for my family. Here is my own list of ideas...

BOOKS

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (business)

The Shack by William P. Young (spiritual)

Marley & Me by John Grogan (sentimental)

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (intellectual)

I Can Has Cheezburder? by Professor Happycat and icanhascheezbuger.com (hilarious!)

HOME PRODUCTS

Ikea Candlesticks or Vase

Vintage Jazz Print

Fondue Set

FOOD

Harry & David Pears

See's Truffles

Starbucks Gift Boxes

Or how about a nice scarf?

I am just your average college student. I spent my time on homework, random projects, hopefully soon a job, and hanging out with my friends. I live with a fun roommate who is really creative with lyrics. I have a great boyfriend who likes concerts and movies.

I am involved with my major, and I help plan events. I am working towards graduating in three years. In my free time, I am teaching myself guitar, relearning piano, and I paint with acrylics.
