Too funny, I read this and LOL, I've got a wicked stepmom too!

I'm not getting her anything!

 

I wasn't planning on getting our step parents anything anyway, except my stepdad.

It is pretty comical!!!  If I don't, she will literally throw a fit about it!  She does so much so now that when it comes to her b-day, etc...my Dad can't stand hearing it anymore and tells us WE HAVE to get her something just so he doesn't have to hear it!  I don't feel like dealing with her.  We had flowers delivered to her for her b-day last year and a few days later my sibs and I had a fight with her and she told ME to "shove those piddly little flowers me and my siblings got her up my a$$" HAHAHA!!!  Nightmare and now you can imagine why I don't have any desire to spend another dime on her, but it's worth it to keep her quiet!!!

yikes i feel for ya! On another note I need gift ideas also for my step dad. I am not close at all with my real dad ( Haven't seen him since I was 3) so my step-dad will be walking me down the aisle. The problem is he isn't very sappy or emotional, so it's tough.

Does he have any hobbies that you could incorporate into his gift?

My step dad is an avid Golfer so I may be getting him something to do with that.

 

The rest of our parents will probably be getting personalized hankies.

My husband's step-dad is the only father figure in his life. So we didn't have the problem of avoiding sentimental gifts. However, he is THE MOST difficult person for gift-giving! He's very laid back; you could even say apathetic. So he doesn't have many preferences. And he doesn't see the point in luxury or non-essential/useful gifts. (For example... He likes oldies. I gave him a $50 iTunes gift card once, and his response was, "Oh... why do I need this when I can download songs for free from Limewire?" Not even an insincere, "Thank you.")

 

Anyway, for our wedding gift to him, we fave him a Leatherman multi-tool (it's basically a pocket knife on steroids). He works with his hands, so he LOVED it! Here are some other gifts that I've given him in the past that he's actually liked (unlike the iTunes gift card):

  • tickets to sporting events for sports that he likes (baseball and bowling... he likes football too, but I haven't gotten him football tickets yet)
  • subscription to a bowling magazine
  • steaks from Omaha steaks
  • gourmet steak rubs for grilling
  • polo-style shirts
  • button down shirts
  • a photograph printer (he likes to take pictures and touch them up on his computer)
  • gift certificate to a Dominican restaurant (he was born in the Dominican Republic)
  • board shorts and a beach towel

 

As for the step-mom... I think you can't go wrong with jewelry. It's wedding-appropriate and, even though it's a nice gift, it's not necessarily super-personal. Stella & Dot has some pieces that aren't too expensive, but look substantial.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
