I did a little Christmas shopping on eBay last night. For the most part I have everything for Colleen (sister in law) but I decided to get her a couple more things. I still haven’t gotten all of her stocking stuffer gifts but I did snag up an adorable Aeropostale handbag. It’s reversible - brown corduroy on one side and brown corduroy with polka dots on the other side. She loves pink and brown and especially loves polka dots. I hope this is one of those “you can’t lose” type of gifts.

I also decided to get a handbag for my mother in law. She also likes brown and nearly every handbag I’ve seen her use has been some shade of brown, so I searched for a corduroy handbag in chocolate brown. I found another Aeropostale bag that I honestly think she’s going to love! Well, Colleen says she will so that’s what I’m hoping for.

I’m going to look for a few more things on eBay tonight, for Jo, JD (Colleen’s boyfriend) and my father in law Terry. Notice they’re all men. I find that shopping for gifts for men is the hardest thing to shop for. I don’t want to be the person giving them a shirt they won’t like or tools they don’t need. I usually have to flat out ask “What do you want?” because I don’t want to give them a gift they’ll likely return (well, that’s the same for anyone). The only thing besides Jo’s phone that I know I’m getting him is a fleece blanket. I’m sure I can find that on eBay!
