To my family who I won't be seeing this year:
I emailed them a "Cooking With Fruit" recipe book that I compiled.
To my cousins & their spouses and my uncle & aunt (each gets one):
The cookbook, but printed out, a can of yams, a bag of marshmallows, a can of pineapple, a box of chocolate cake mix, a jar of maraschino cherries, & a can of cherry pie filling (to make Holiday Yam Bake and Black Forest Cherry Cake from the recipe book!).
To my cousin's oldest son:
You know when you go to Friendly's (or other restaurants, I guess), there are wooden games with pegs on the table for you to play with while you wait? He's getting a box of those kinds of games.
To my cousin's youngest son:
Break the Ice game (not a video game)
To Bobby:
A couple striped shirts, a Desperation Band CD/DVD, a webcam that he picked out and he bought one for his parents, and some restaurant gift cards that he's going to hand out to homeless people (which is very selfless). I owe him 40 cents and another CD that I couldn't find, too.
To my doggies:
Dog cookies from the dog cookie bar at Petco.

I forgot all about my Angel Tree person:
It was a 5 year old girl, and I got 2 porcelain dolls. I'm not sure how all Angel Trees work, but these kids aren't guaranteed to get what they want, although it is purchased if someone grabs their card, but all the presents go into one room, and parents can go and pick out 1 big or 2 small (or something) presents for their kids. So maybe she didn't get them, maybe she did.
