I got my 3 year old nephew Clifford The Red Dog DVD's. He loves Clifford. My daughter and I always get each other a whole bunch of gifts. Some are little stocking stuffers, but we end up with lots to open. The family teases us about how long it takes us to open our presents. Last year we got each other gift cards to places we enjoy like where we get facials, the book store, the nail salon, etc. It worked out great. We were using Christmas gifts for months. We are going to do that again this year. I got my son a mall gift card and some clothes. We do more and more gift certificates every year. It's so much easier as far as running around, standing in line, wrapping and guessing sizes. They don't need to be exchanged either. We try to gear them toward the person and what he or she likes. We do a lot of restaurant ones.

Not sure what I'm getting my husband yet. Last year, I got him an Ipod. He loves it so much, it will be hard to outdo that one. I think I am going to get him a membership to the Y and if I can, some Red Sox tickets. He's retiring the end of this month and wants to join the Y again and he will be able to go to day games.

As for me, I already have my present. My new computer with a 21" monitor. I love it. It will seem strange on Christmas not to get jewelry, but I went practical this year. (He'll probably still get me a piece of jewelry.) There are some interesting looking presents under the tree already.
