Default RE: Holiday gift ideas?

Now that\'s an idea for a man\'s gift.
For my Dad every year, I buy a new wall calendar with large squares, then I go through it and write in everybody\'s birthdays and anniversaries. One year I didn\'t make one for him and he wanted to know where it was so I had to make him one after Christmas! He loves it, as he sometimes has trouble remembering everybody\'s birthdays.
I also fix Christmas ornaments for family members every year. If I have plenty of time, I get ornaments to paint. Then I add their name and the year. If time is short, or we\'re living in a hotel, I get the flat metal ornaments and engrave the names and dates on them or get ready made ornaments and use colored Sharpies to put the names and dates on them. Every year, everybody gets a new ornament. When the grandkids are grown and on their own, they\'ll have their own ornaments for their first Christmas tree.
