 The Family Gift List
- 2003
-
- This section was created to help the
Houston based family shop for each other. This way, everyone know exactly
what the others need or desire instead of buying someone gifts they would not
otherwise ever want and might be passed on to you someday. Everyone
participating simply sends me the updates to what they want. At Christmas
time, I usually gray out items that have been bought as I am notified by the
buyer who tells me who the item was bought for.
-
-
-
- Grayed out
items indicate that someone notified me that it has been bought.
