Ipsos i-Say

she has her own tase in clothing and a car is number 1 on her list which we can,t afford with her taste in this either

No one as of yet, I didn't have Christmas, I was in surgery, all of that will come later.

my brother in-law.

I help the sick ,elderly shut-ins all year. At holiday time I give them special food treats that they are unable to afford or do not buy for themselves.

The kids are.As they get older & leave the nest,it get's harder to know what they really need or want as their moving farther away,but they let us know what the grand kids need

My husband would be the hardest to shop for this Christmas. He is always wanting some big surprise gift but nothing ever seems to meet his expectations.

Teenagers and young adults, because it's hard to keep up with what's in and what's out.

My boyfriend, he already has everything, so where does that leave me?

I recently lost my job, and have a new boyfriend. I have no money to get him a gift but he still insists on getting me one.

MY DAUGTHER, HER DAD GOT HER ALOT OF THINGS... SO I DIDNT HAVE MANY LEFT WERE TO CHOOSE FROM...

I haven't gotten around to buy him anything. I guess too because he doesnt' live near me. He lives about 300 miles from me.

My husband he never expresses one way or the other what he needs, likes or wants.

GOD . He has given so much day after day, year after year 24/7 and as asked for nothing except our faith and belief in him. As a mere mortal, and options and choices I make, I find it difficult, even in prayer, to even attempt to give a present, when, in reality, he deserves a lot more then I have or can ever give him. I am a believer, though not highly religous, my greatest joy towards God would be able to be the best that I can be , and merit all which he has provided- -NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR ALL PEOPLE.

My youngest daughter. She is so very picky, so never likes anything anyone gets her and she hates gift cards.

My daughter-in-law. I've been as generous in the past as my circumstances would allow, and I have won some and lost some. But when I miss the mark I would rather have her take the gift back and exchange it for whatever she wants than to complain about it. Gift cards are too impersonal, so I'd rather at least try. As for people over 65, if they still drive and would like to travel, a gas card would be nice. Trips have been out of the question the last few years, but that would certainly help. I'm surprised that only one person mentioned books. Biographies of Am. Presidents or any number of subjects are good and if they don't read them at least they look good in the bookcase!

We travel a lot, so my husband and I consider trips our "presents."

I don't do Christmas presents. Hubby passed away 6 months ago and I am having a hard time coping as it is. Yet I still feel blessed as I have a roof over my head and food on the table. I am knitting and crocheting all year for charity. Most of it is being delivered to the homeless and refugees. Seeing the faces is Christmas enough for me. - Let's face it, Christmas is not really about presents anyway, is it?

My 12 year old son. He's in that in-between stage where he's not interested in toys anymore but not into teenage things, either.

My son. He is pretty much a recluse.

My middle daughter. She is in the service, and I am just not sure of what to get her or her husband. I send "care packages" every month, so I guess it is Christmas every month.

Grandkids all they want is expensive eletronics.

Me.

EVERYBODY! We live comfortably and usually get what we need or want throughout the year, so Christmas presents are hard to think about. This year we decided to spend about half of our normal gifting and buy food stuff for our local food pantry - there are people who need food more than we need the latest computer gadget.

My Husband he never gives me a list and usually wahn i buy him clothes hr don't wear them. I would get him a gift card but he likes to open what he calls "real" presents

no money for shopping this season

It is going to be easy this year, because I have decided to cut back on family spending and give to charities instead.

Didn't actually buy Christmas presents this year.Met their wants and needs in October which was birthday month.But I find it difficult to buy for the older individuals (65 and up), because they usually already have everything.How many socks, robes, pajamas, scarves, gloves etc. are they going to use and enjoy.Trying to find something they need, enjoy or use is difficult. I know it's the thought that really counts.

i was unable to buy this christmas. i fell and broke my ankle and had to have surgery. unable to work for 2 months. we didn't even put a tree. i try not to watch christmas shows because its so depressing. But one thing i can say. i found a new love and that is the man upstairs. my favorite quote is and wanted to share is "never worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has even to worry about in itself" So when your having a bad day or things don't go right just remember this. i hope everyone will be safe over the few weeks.

My mother its 6 of us children and every year it gets harder

It's ME! I never gave anyone a wish list. I just said to give to charities but didn't even specify which ones. I screwed up this year and people actually r upset with me as a result:(

my husband. He can never make up his mind

My boys are the hardest, there ages are 30,22,20

Nobody, my husband and I have cut back tremendously on gifts and get gift cards for the few gifts we do buy.

my boys are grown but my youngestis a girl 15

My brother-in-law. He's been married to my sister for almost 16 years and I still have no clue what he likes. He never shows any emotion when he opens gifts so you don't know if he likes it or not.

My gf. I just never know what to get her cause she likes so much. It is always sooo hard lol

Nobody, because everyone in our family & friends decided to do donations! We are giving to local shelters, food pantries, sending boxes off to the troops, finding out what local families are in need thru the local churches and Red Cross or thru neighbors and being silent Angels and leaving jars of money/toys/food or gift certificates for utilities on their doorsteps or sending them to their homes. There are too many folks that are in need, who used to give and are now unable to because of these uneasy economic times. So, we all decided that we don't NEED anything and since we are blessed to have jobs and can pay our bills WHY rack up debt, for items that we truly don't need. We have all agreed this is the BEST Christmas ever and we are going to continue this practice from now on!

My brother-in-law, he doesn't share a lot of personal information & is a hard person to "read". His wife is easy thankfully, so I can choose great gifts for her..so that sort of balances things out. Last year she loved the gift I got her, a 1 serving teapot that you can brew the tea in. Their 8 yr old daughter is easy too, any small figurine. So as Meatloaf would say, "two out of three ain't bad."

my sister-in-law. we draw names, and I have no clue (ever) what my person wants!

My youngest (38 yoa) son. He never opens gifts with the rest of us. He just creates his own pile of "stuff", opens later in the day. Never hear if he likes, of fits, etc.

I think this year I aam only giving out visa gift cards to immedates family members, Older people get the harder it is to please them

No one. Everything fell into place. I found some perfect gifts for people through out the year. This year I'm making hand made ornaments from scratch too.

It hasn't been so much that I had difficulty finding presents for anyone, I usually can find things everyone would like, I am very limited in budget so finding things that are in my price range has been a big challenge this year. I have managed to buy gifts for my grown kids and son in law, though I am still seeking an affordable gift for my husband. He always wants things that are beyond affordability.

Is it really that important that ou buy gifts for Christmas or just get together with those you love?

Couldn't shop for anyone due to husbands illness. Just got each of the grand babies a small gift.

We have had to cut back this holiday season,We couldnt shop for everyone we used to

My boss...

not really hard; keep gifts practical; the everyday things needed

My Husband, He just never wants any gift for any occasion, so I really try to get something he "will" use.

My teen-aged god-daughter - she gets so many lovely and expensive things from her family's good friends and her grandmother, I'm afraid that what I can afford will seem chintzy and will be unappreciated.
