unicornduke Christmas gift shopping is complete.
Well. Almost.
The main things are all purchased but I've got a few extra little things to get, wire strippers to go with a solder kit, candy to go in a bag, that sort of thing.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure on is my brother's girlfriend. She doesn't always come up and my parents usually get her a gift card (they get all the girlfriends gift cards, including Jade, who more or less is on the same level at this point). I don't know her super well so I don't really know what to get her. My brother is basically useless when it comes to christmas gifts, he prefers to give the steam wishlist pick which is getting silly at this point. He also never communicates so shrug
I might be able to give her an extra mug I ordered from Effin' Birds (delightful swearing birds) but I also don't remember if she's the type to laugh at that sort of thing. I dunno.
Either way, I think all the gifts that I need to personally handle right now have arrived, the one I placed an order from today I sent directly to my parents because I was afraid it wouldn't get here in time and Jade's gift can be opened by her when it gets here. That's a commission so it will be a couple of weeks and I won't be in town at that point.
I am feeling good though, because I think all my gifts are pretty good this year. Some I talked directly to the person and some I made a good guess.

Buying gifts for family-adjacent total strangers is a ridiculous challenge. Hope it goes well.
