ok..so my husband an i dont have a ton of money this year for christmas due to unforseen bills. so we decided to make baskets for family members this year.. in the baskets we put a fleece blanket, a sauce gift set, a jar with stuff in it to make their own chili, a tree ornament, an emergency cell phone charger, a mug, and a candle with a few variations depending on the person! also the woven basket can be used as a laundry basket when they take everything out.would you like this as a gift..or does it suck..be honest..thanks
merry christmas to all

I never really did this "stocking stuffers" thing before. My boyfriend does it with his family, and I thought it was cute thing to do - I just don't know what to put in them exactly. & money is really tight now =x

Any suggestions as what should I put in these stocking stuffers and gifts for everyone?

Thanks =]

her bro moved out where everything was paid for by her mother and stepfather and she gutted it. I couldn't get her to speak up. So tings where ok till he decided to feed more lies and she broke down due to her parents controlling her. she moved out and into my condo with her child. and everything was great for about 4 months where they didn't talk much.

OMG was life great We still had issues but little tings like disciplining a child that was a spoiled brat. and explaining to her she cant get every thing she wanted.

so I went to work she Got a Job at her daughters school and we where good. Unfortunately here Stepfather and his son her step brother give hundreds of thousands of dolor's to that school and are on the board. And its a long drive away.

In that time I learned about her Crappy childhood and how hers sis ran away and had 4 kids when she cant even support herself. her whole family is not right I'm telling you... I cant figure out here this girl came from she is so great.

a few months later she starts talking to her mom again and it all went downhill. again I was made the bad guy out of manipulation. Her mom promised to back off and help us out like she did for her other kids. 6 months went by and she did not I kept telling my girlfriend to stand up to her and get what she said she would do.

Her sister started talking to her mom cause she needed money cause she cant manage her funds 5 Months of rent and bills and so far 14 months of her bros rent and all bills of his. She promised Brooke a bed and a car and a to help out with our mortgage. She spent more on her sis and her Bro and Nothing on us. My girlfriend went out with her mom more and more and started being mean to me. Im sure after her mom bashed me a bunch.

I then Get laid off in october witch sucks I'm starting a company in crappy economic times and I was putting in 60-100 applications a day. Im skilled and Im a a great worker but with 100-500 people going for hte same job im not always top pick.

so the holidays come my forfeit seeing her child on Halloween we made it as my parents where going to bed, thanks giving my parent cancel due to her parents attitude, Christmas comes and here we are going over to my parent house the eve of where her family dosnt do anything. We have to stop everything we do at my parents house so we can drive 20 miles or so to her parents to open1 gift witch is PJ's. The drive back and finish things up. the morning of I have to suppress everything at her parents house like I always do cause every one got gifts from them except us. Keep in mind her brothers girlfriend is there who is doing the same thing playing house and because its not me its ok.

So we leave And my girlfriend starts crying like crazy. we go do normal things around my overly flexible parents and everything is good again but she is so upset at her mom. Still no Confrontation to say that's not ok and I'm not aloud to speak up to them.

Soon after I am getting depressed due to her mothers crap and her not standing up to her. She started taking things out on me and not taking responsibility for any thing. I Broke down a lot and kept telling her I needed to talk to vent. But I was not aloud to cause every thing I said was negative about her daughters Odd school and her parents and her family.

Not being able to I build up and break down.

my girl friend said she was moving out it was the trigger that broke me all cause she wouldn't call her mom and just say we are not gonna have the overpriced people work on it and its covered under warranty. I don't know what such a small trigger after everything. I have a thought of suicide and put a knife to my neck and started crying. she calls 911 and I go to the hospital who says that I have Battered Persons /Spouses syndrome and there not worried about me as long as I get help. There super worried about her and want her to get Help Immediately to get out of the situation. My stress was caused by her not standing up to her mom and her mom controlling our relationship.

My parents offer to have her find a safe house and cut communication from her parents but she moved out and now is in deeper that she ever was. She needs to get out and soon. my shrink I have to see due to the incident and the class I go to is worried about her due to her family history. there not that worried about me just the choices to not vent to the people that caused the issues. so not she is under there roof and being controlled shes 28 and is worried about coming over to where we use to like cause she things she will get in trouble.

My parents are trying to get her to move back in and help her cut contact with them.

This is most of the issues there are more I'm sure I'm missing. I also want you to know she is great amazing everything is great as long as her parents are not there. I cant even explain this girls knowledge and looks shes stunning.

Im not a looser at all as well Im 23 and have started a com

I want to get nice gifts for my family for Christmas. I have plenty of ideas, but I don't know if I can afford all of it. Any ideas on how I can get some money besides the normal babysitting, etc?

Notice how M&D is getting flooded with questions about "What did he get you?" and "Why didn't he get me blah blah blah?". Did your wife FREAK OUT when you didn't get her a box of chocolates, fancy dinner and/or a 2 hour back rub?? Is it just me or do many women(not all) make a mountain out of a mole hill when it comes to this specific "holiday"? Hell, my wife got dinner and that was it. She didn't complain one bit. She doesn't expect some lavish gifts or over the top BS like some of these broads that have posted their whining and crying BS.
EDIT: I understand there are guys out there that don't show any appreciation or love to their SO's. But it's not just these types of women that feel Valentine's Day is "special". I know plenty of other women that have good husbands that provide, are affectionate and do little things to show their appreciation, yet these women STILL look at the "all he got me was" side of things. It just boggles my mind, I guess. It's true, I do make sure my wife understands and knows what she means to me and what she has done for me. So that is why she doesn't complain when V-Day isn't extravagant, but she herself has also said that V-Day is just another in the calendar year. It's an excuse to spend money and to show off about how much they got or how much they spent. Love isn't about a special holidays or presents. Even cards. Yeah they may come close to what you want to express, but they're not your own words. I have never gotten her a V-Day card. My own writting better expresses how I feel.

They already know and accept that I'm not Christian (my entire family is Methodist), and I feel kind of weird receiving gifts for a holiday that's supposed to be about celebrating the birth of a savior that I don't worship. On top of this, with the economy now, I don't like having money being spent on me, especially since my younger sister is asking for a lot of expensive things (Wii, cell phone, etc.) My mom said that she still is going to whether I like it or not. I told her a good compensation would be to donate to a charity or just plan a day to spend time together... I don't know what else to say? Help?
I was still planning on giving them gifts, but making them non-material things like I suggested above- any ideas?
