October gifts
So, every October (since, um, 2013) our family has got together for the Grand October Birthday Bash. We have six family birthdays in October, so that has become the birthday month. Everyone gets a gifts and we carve pumpkins and have a potluck and the kids play in the park.
So I'm trying to come up with some fun gifts. I'm going to use this post to keep track of what I'm getting who, and I'd love to get suggestions from folks who might have found some fun things to give.
Participants include:
Michael, age 29: likes gaming, football (Greenbay)
Mel, age 27: likes photography, music, llamas, things that celebrates the family
