Christmas Gifts for Sisters, and the rest

I posted earlier today about my little gift list and my penchant for finding appropriate gifts as close to perfect as possible. It got me thinking about this musical figurine my daughter’s paternal grandmother had given her and how much I liked it and missed having it around now that it got divided out to go with my ex’s things.
I found the figurine on a collectables site. Here’s a picture. It’s a child angel and an older angel and it says “My Granddaughter, My Joy” and plays “The Wind Beneath My Wings”. Well, they also have versions for mothers. It plays the same tune and, predictably, it says “My Daughter, My Joy.” Gigi will be five at the beginning of next year. She is intrigued with delicate figurines and I have bought her precious few thus far. I think this could be a good heirloom gift. I still have to take into consideration, though, that she will be much more impressed with a Barbie Castle, new clothes for Baby Chou Chou, or a little makeup kit. If I buy her a collectable item this year, it would actually be more for me than for her
I clicked on the Christmas Gifts for Sisterslink and saw that the same figurine series has one for sisters and when it comes down to it, I find my sister one of the most difficult people to buy for each year. She is not a packrat, nor does she leave a lot of pretties sitting around. She is all about economy of space and tidiness. Still, she has a small cabinet she puts her Precious Moments figures into and the few other special items people give her. I think there would be room for one more special figure.
Of course, I still need to address the little rumor that has been going around in our family that we are going to totally forego gifts this year. That would change things considerably. Gigi will still make out like a bandit, though
