My parents are 3 hours away as well. I think I need to make this happen. DH and I really need to connect more. We have a 5 month old baby so things have been crazy again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927776 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 16:12:36 +0000 SteelerGirl 2927776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every Christmas I go in with my parents and my brother to get my sister and her husband a date package. My parents buy the dinner gift card, my brother picks out a fun activity and gets a gift card (escape room, Top Golf, wine &amp; paint, etc), and I give them babysitting money.</p> <p>This year we went slightly different with a NYE date night package. We don't usually pick the day for them, but we got them a gourmet cooking class on NYE so it's both dinner and an activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927775 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 11:20:45 +0000 karenbme 2927775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I’m in the same boat with never having a random babysitter because DD1 was tiny when Covid hit, but if you have family close enough for a weekend visit it works out fine. My parents are about a 3 hour drive away and they’ll come up on a Saturday and stay over/babysit Saturday night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927774 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 10:20:02 +0000 azbaby 2927774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these idea!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927773 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 08:32:30 +0000 Lahela017 2927773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: agreed!! DH and I would love a date night! So long overdue for us. We don't have any family I'm town though and haven't ever gotten a random babysitter yet... DD was too little and then with Covid we never felt quite right about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927770 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 17:12:41 +0000 Chuckles 2927770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: ooh, I'm going to steal your idea of a fancy restaurant gift card and babysitting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927769 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 14:34:35 +0000 karenbme 2927769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: ooh, I might steal a few ideas from your cookbook list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927768 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 14:32:47 +0000 karenbme 2927768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re getting a quieter coffee grinder and upgraded coffee pot for both me and DH from Santa. And I’ve asked for a ring in my new baby’s birthstone to go with the one I have with DD1’s and some practical things—wool socks, replacements for some kitchen items that are wearing out, etc. I asked my parents, who usually get us a fancy dinner type restaurant gift card and a night of babysitting, to switch it up and have a professional organizer come to the house, but idk if they’ll do that since they wouldn’t get the night with the grandkids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927760 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 06:46:21 +0000 catgirl 2927760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teva sandals to replace mine that literally fell apart this summer, a helmet for winter sports, and a blow dryer brush. Pretty boring "wants" this year.</p> <p>Oh, DH and I always ask for a new annual state park pass from my dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927759 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 06:26:38 +0000 caitcat 2927759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A longer raincoat, an electric kettle so I can make tea in my office upstairs, a prettier toaster for the kitchen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927757 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 16:05:07 +0000 Lahela017 2927757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A charm for my Pandora bracelet, yarn for a crochet project, simple geometric shaped earrings, and a DVD of a movie I've been wanting to see but we don't have the streaming service it's on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927756 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 15:41:40 +0000 Chuckles 2927756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want some fun candleholders for taper candles (I like the ones at Hay.com), a sweater from LL Bean, a cozy throw blanket, Luxardo cherries, and a bunch of cookbooks - the new Smitten Kitchen, Home is Where the Eggs Are, Savory Baking, and the New Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927754 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 12:13:38 +0000 LadyDi 2927754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A ninja foodi smart grill, yeti rambler water bottle, a fluffy sherpa type pullover from patagonia, a new saucepan and skillet to replace two of my nonstick ones that are in bad shape, and a coffee subscription (these are all ideas I gave DH, for my family I mostly put gift cards and my mom bought me a new winter parka). </p> <p>I also usually ask for new slippers! I got toms slippers last year and love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-you#post-2927752 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 10:52:41 +0000 azbaby 2927752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't figure out what I want for Christmas. What are you hoping for? You all have the best ideas! </p>
