Christmas Gifts..?
As I've mentioned before, BM and I co-parent well together. My DH owns his own business and works 80+ hours a week, and with split custody it is just easier that BM and I have contact to discuss everything about SD5.
My question is.. what do we get BM from SD5 for Christmas? and do I get her something? She gets me something little every year.. and The past few Christmas's we have just been giving small things or a hand written card from SD but its been 3 years now and I feel like a bitch when she shows up with a gift for ME, and we only have a gift from SD.
I know most of you will find this extremely weird but I'm in a rare situation and I just don't know what is "okay" to give BM?

I like aswang's suggestion; a bottle of wine is rather appropriate as it's not personal (she may share with her husband or friends) and it's usually appreciated.
