I have a problem. A big one.
You see, the problem is that my husband is the EASIEST MAN IN THE WORLD to shop for. Maybe the easiest person in the world to shop for. The entire world. That little kid in Germany who loves race cars and all he wants in the whole wide world is a race car bed and race car books and race car sheets and race car clothes? He's got nothing on Jon.
Jon, as you may know, has a lot of little things that he loves--like tattooing or photography or great shoes or cashmere cardigans--and all of these little things are easy to buy. The question is never, "what should I get Jon for Christmas?" No, the question is, "what of the 100,000 things that Jon would like should I get for him now, and when should I stop coming up with really awesome ideas that trump the previous awesome idea so I don't go overboard." Alas, I have gone overboard.
Other people are harder to shop for, so I put it off and dawdle and try to come up with really great ideas for them, but my mind always circles back to really great ideas for Jon! It's a curse!
So I'm still stumped by my sisters (they are 4 and 8...I have no good ideas. Think they want a camera bag or a book of tattoo flash?) and my nieces (age 1 and 3...again with the little girls!). If you have a child in this age range, feel free to send ideas.

Princess stuff! Pink! Fancy Nancy books..I made flower barrets for Christmas, I also am making fleece headbands for winter, head-kercheifs, blocks, you could sew aprons for the girls to cook with mom...You could make homemade tutus (all it takes is ribbon-ample enough to tie around waist comfortably in a bow, take tule and attach to ribbon.) You can google for these instructions. You knit right? what about knitted purses for the older girls? Just some ideas- good luck!
