Trying to Figure out What to Give and Get for Christmas

Christmas is around the corner and I have to attempt to think of things to tell my family that I want for Christmas. I have a pretty steep deadline too because once Thanksgiving comes I know everyone is going to be asking me what I want and if I don't know I'm going to be subjected to looking at ads half the time I'm at our Thanksgiving. I don't really need anything or have anything that I really want. The only thing I really need is money. So I can make that into a few items: money, Walmart gift cards, Casey's gas cards, and gift cards to other stores I like. I don't really feel like I really want anything either maybe a new North Face jacket, clothes, Uggs and I would probably enjoy an Ipod touch, but that isn't really many things for my family to try to choose from. I also am having the issue of thinking of what to make my friends for Christmas and what to get my family. I like to make things or get cool little useful things for my friends and it's hard to think of creative, fun and useful gifts to give that they all will like.
