LOVE the wrapped TP - as well as the reciprocal gifts to husbands, lol. What were they thinking?? I don't like my DH to get me gifts - he is famous for finding something "like" what I asked for but less expensive. If there's something I really want, I'd rather have money toward it and pay the rest myself than something that is really not what I wanted. An example: Instead of a wool Icelandic sweater, I got a cardigan from K-mart. It's not that he couldn't afford the one I wanted, just doesn't see the point in spending the money.

I am thrilled we will be spending the day with our DD's and the older one's fiance. As they live 5 hrs away, and younger DD is away at college, I don't often have everyone in the same place, so that is what I really wanted. My family doesn't seem to get it, though - they nag for gift lists.

After struggling I came up with a quilting magazine subscription for Quiltmaker - Bonnie Hunter has a column every month and I love her patterns. Also the American Patchwork 2013 quilt calendar. Both were $20-ish, so within the girls budgets. Might add that puzzle that was linked previously, it's darling!
