  Gift Ideas Reply Contact Okay, I know it's a little early... but I am already trying to decide what I am getting everyone for Christmas. I am having trouble coming up with a gift for my best friend's family. I prefer to get them a "family" gift rather than individual gifts because it's easier (I would have no idea at all what to get her husband and her kids don't like toys,so it makes it difficult) and hopefully less expensive. Last year I got them a gift card to the Picture People to get family portraits done, previously I have gotten them a Blockbuster gift card, popcorn, candy..etc.. for a family movie night. My friends are in their low thirties and their kids are 10 and 4. Any suggestions are very appreciated!!!

  Re: Gift Ideas Reply Contact I have sent stuff from the popcorn factory before and that always goes over big:  http://www.thepopcornfactory.com/ What about tickets to a local amusement park for when it gets nice out again?  Or maybe an indoor water park? Do you have a local Chuck E Cheese or something similar?  It would be more fun for the kids, but the parents would probably have a good time too:  http://www.chuckecheese.com/   Lisa - Charlie & Riley's Mommy A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings Thanks for the siggy Candace!!!
