My mom's husband (my step dad)
he's a crabby old man (pushing 90) and if I give him a stupid gift he will say so. and he doesn't really want anything so everything is a stupid gift. |

One of those people too mean to die eh?
He must be related to my father. My folks are elderly and are trying to simplify their lives. They want to get rid of things not acquire more goofy stuff. So, I think they are the hardest to buy for. I've been creative in their gift buying for a few years now. Stuff that connects them to their best memories and family and some things that help keep them mentally connected and active. In the last few years I gave my father a framed picture of his high school (a distinctive building no longer in Iron Mountain MI),his CV-18 insignia patch I had put on a cap and another year a model of a P-51 Mustang I built him. He used to work on them. It kept him talking and occupied to help me detail the model. For my mom I made a photo album of her great-granddaughters, a St. Philomena medal (her middle name) and a crossword book and dictionary. |

I racking my brains as to what to get my parents. They don't need anything. Those are the people that I have a difficult time with gifts - the ones that already have everything. |

sounds like a visa gift card may be in order
for some and if they have money a card (hand made)or (self designed) to let them know how ya feel about them after all it is not about the gifts at least it is not supposed to be |

What a fantastic thing you have done for 100 Marines!!  I can imagine that it was most difficult to send it to Iraq.

Make up a basket or something with a card that says how much you care. They worked for me (allergies). If they work for her, it should be good for a cool mill! I'll take 10%. Thanks.
