My family are coming to stay (DM, DF, DSis) at our new house. DM and DSis have already been very scathing about my excitement. There won't be any children, apart from our friends who will pop around at some point, but I'd love to do the Christmas pajamas thing. I'm also going to do stockings.
Fortunately DP is from a country where they celebrate on the 24th so I can dress up a pajama present as something to celebrate his culture. I was thinking that for DSis and DM it could be pajamas and a Christmas bath bomb/bubble bath as it'll be my bath that gets used and I don't mind cleaning sparkly crap out of the plug (bath bombs are banned in my parents' house).
For Dad and DP though I don't have a clue. Pajamas are easy but I don't know what to add as the little something extra. Dad is very traditional, very awkward to buy for and eats the plainest diet imaginable... maybe I could add some homemade sugared almonds but that doesn't go with the bedtime theme. He will have a copy of Private Eye in his stocking but I can't think of another magazine that he would like - can anyone thing of something?
DP likes expensive things and gadgets. Nothing that really screams 'Christmas Eve pajamas'. I will get him a techy magazine for his stocking but he doesn't have a shower before he sleeps so soap is out. Maybe a Christmas DVD we could watch together? I should add, anything above the £5 limit is above my budget for this particular present of his!
Any ideas welcome :)
