Need some suggestions, too. So far I've got a talking book for my parents and a painter's set for my younger daughter. The older has all the knives a serious homechef would need, and I have no clue about the books my wife hasn't read - and a book is what she wants!

This year we are doing Christmas differently.

The kids have everything they could ever need or want...computers, iPads, phones etc etc etc.

So, we decided we'd replace two TVs we have with nice new Smart TVs, buy an Xbox One and a few games for the kids...and done.

For a Chef I would suggest a weighing scale like KD-8000 which also does baker's percentages.

Thanks Randy! That's a good idea which I will save until she's flying the nest - which is in her plans for the summer...

This just got put on my Mother's wishlist.   Some of your wives might love it if they didn't have chance at burning clothes.  http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00710W84I/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/179-5322125-9661668

Really do not have much of a list for this year yet.

Fire HD 6 for wife.  Ipad for one of the kids (been bugging us all year!!).  Do not know about other kids . :headscratch:

I've asked for aftershave and new slippers.   :)

One thing we try to do ever year is make a big gift to a charity in need.

This year we are thinking of supporting organizations that provide free diapers to the needy and low income families.
