Gift Wrapping Large Items

Grandma, I am still working on shopping for this year and thinking of going the gift card route myself. Not due to shipping issues though…due to shopping issues.

This is the first Christmas I’ve had as a mom/aunt that I just don’t know what to buy. My 16 year old son has asked for one very expensive item for Christmas. It’s way more than what we always budget for each child at Christmas. We simply can’t afford it and even if we could, it’s too much for a single Christmas gift. It’s also an item I think is a waste of money because he will quickly lose interest in it. I’ve tried to talk to him and see if he wants anything else and he insists that is all he wants. My dad suggested we just give my son cash for Christmas and then let him combine it with money he has saved and receives from family members and then see if HE will spend his own money on the item he wants. At this point, I don’t know what else to do. Just giving him cash seems really impersonal and not at all fun. Then, I’m afraid he will spend all of his money buying this item only to discover he doesn’t want it. This situation is taking a lot of the fun out of my Christmas preparations this year.

My two nephews and niece that we buy gifts for are also teens. It’s really getting complicated keeping up with what game system/electronic gadget everyone has and what to buy. I’m really thinking gift cards for them. Again, it seems impersonal but it’s getting really difficult to figure out.

My youngest son, who is 10, is the last easy to please recipient we have. Hubby and I went out yesterday and completed our shopping for the youngest in a couple of hours. I wonder how much longer until he is also difficult?

I was looking through old photo albums yesterday at pictures of when my kids were little and so excited at Christmas over simple toys and books. I commented to hubby that I miss those days. He told me I will have grandchildren one day and Christmas will be fun and simple again.

I know gifts is not what Christmas is all about. We do donations to the homeless shelter at my office and also adopt a needy family for Christmas. I love the reconnecting with family for the season as well as all the music and decorations. Still, for some reason, the Christmas shopping has me a little down this year.
