Call me a bad person, buuuuutttt we only buy for our kids. No parents, no siblings, no one else. We never expect anything in return from anyone either. My husband and I don't even buy for each other. All I ever want is the whole day together kids opening gifts, staying in pjs, big breakfast and Christmas music.

Help!!! I just started working at a large medical clinic and found out we buy something for each person including the 8 doctors that work there! There's 17 of us total so I need 16 gifts. Why???!!!!

Any ideas???

@tamaraliscia3408 7 ай бұрын

I'm sure giving everyone a gift may have started when the clinic was smaller. You can't do anything about it this year but I'd definitely start talking to others in January so the tradition goes away, as this one should. I'd also make it known that no one gave you a heads up when you accepted the position. For this year, in the situation you are forced into, my budget would be $1.00 per person and make the gifts gender neutral ... yes, really. You cannot possibly know much about 17 different people that you don't live with. Dollar store or small bag or box of homemade cookies or candy would be the route I would take. I don't think I can share a link, but look at ... Hip2Save "Budget-friendly Group Gifts: 7 ideas under $1.50 per person!"

My son will turn 40 years old in January, so gifting on Christmas day precisely is not a big deal for him. I availed myself of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales on Amazon, and I bought him a $400.00 stationary bike for $100.00 (before tax). He's been working out on it twice a day since it got here. I know, Christine, that you prefer Peloton, but I can't afford it. This bike can easily be folded up and stashed in the closet when it's not in use. Merry Christmas, one and all! 🎄⛄️❄️☃️

I like the idea of the Stanley cups, but they are just too big. Give me a 20 oz size in that style of cup. The large one is too big to fit in my kitchen cabinets...top or bottom without laying it down and turning it Horizontal in the cabinet. Just not a fan. Plus it's just too awkwardly big for my car. Maybe if I drove a large suv I wouldn't think about that point. I wish they made the hospital cups to fit in a cup holder. The smaller size one. I love that cup and use it all the time. I shop all year around and by October I'm finished. I don't buy for everyone, and I'm a practical gift giver. I'm assuming you haven't hit menopause yet, or you wouldn't even want anything about the room being hot. It makes me nauseas to be in a hot room since I started menopause a year ago. Oh the joy of wanting to wear a cute fluffy sweater and pj's but being repulsed by it at the same time, because any minute I'm going to feel like my whole body was just consumed by a volcano, lol.
