3)Do you spend alot on each person or do you have a set limit? I have a set limit for different people. I have to... we buy for 39 people, and it'd be very easy to get carried away if we didn't.

4)how many do you usely buy for? Uhhh... *points up to #3*

5)what do you like to buy for the women? I prefer things like stuff for the bath, such as scented oils and lotions... or candles which not only smell good but look pretty when displayed.

6)what do you like to buy for the men? Ugh. I hate buying for men. I have no particular favorite.

10)do you like to wrap your gifts fancy,if so do you use ribbons?bow? ect? I always use a bow... David should work at the mall, he wraps gifts so perfectly, it makes me sick. He always wraps all our gifts.

11)ever had someone not to like a gift you've given them? I'm not sure, they were gracious enuff to not let me know.

12)if so did you take the gift back or let them keep it *LOL* Ha!!! If they ever did express that they didn't like their gift (which I would think would be terribly rude) I would just smile and say, "donate it to the nearest salvation army then."

13)do you open gifts on christmas eve or christmas day? We open gifts at my mom's house on Christmas Eve... then at David's parents house later that evening... then on Christmas Eve, we either open our presents to each other at midnight or the next morning.

14)Do you buy your pets gifts? Gawd yes... he's "human" too yanno. Can't be leaving the baby Punkin out of it.
