Holiday Gifts

[whiteflip]

Ok so who are you all getting gifts for? What are you getting them and who is the hardest person to get a gift for? What is the worst gift you've gotten and best and yeah. Anything about holiday gift giving and recieving.

And lets not all forget what we would like to recieve ourselves

[deeder7001]

i either want a few cds or about $300 so i can build a computer.

[simon snowflake]

$300 for a computer? what will that be a 486 DX 2? ;p

If i wrote it down here, and my brother bumps on this thread, he would know what I would give my family.

But i would like world peace. And if that is not possible I would like Bush to stepdown. (or is that the same as world peace)

the specs would be something like an AMD 2400+ 512mb PC 2700 and cheap video, MB and case w/400 watt PSU. all under $300 after taxes and shipping.

I bought my girlfriend a wooden practice sword and a copy of the Katamari Damacy soundtrack (imported from Japan!)

• Neuros 20GB USB2.0 MP3 Digital Audio Computer - $249.99

I'm not quite sure what I'm going to get my family yet; I'm kinda low on cash at the moment...

I want a remote controlled aeroplane kit and an electric shaver. The Bush administration vanishing overnight would also be a pretty decent present.
I have no idea what I'm giving anyone. I am the worst at getting people presents.

Santa has failed you...

All I'm really asking for are gift certificates and cash...Maybe a game or so, like Need For Speed Underground for the PS2...

Otherwise, not much...But most especially cash, since I wanna get stuff for my Mustang...

[LollipopLustKil]

Who are you all getting gifts for?
- My girlfriend
- Best friend

- Not sure yet
- Not sure yet

[Widdykats]

Got my wish! Thanks Jones!

[k_rock923]

I don't know what to get my girlfriend. I can't buy her jewlery again.

[Mattress]

Who I'm getting gifts for:
- Mom and Dad
- Anne, my fiancee
- my sister
- her fiancee
- Anne's mom and dad
- Anne's brother
- my friends Dan, Brian, Nick
- my aunt, my uncle probably just cards for them

I'm not quite sure what I'm going to get anyone yet

[Phyltre]

Oh, and I got myself those titanium chopsticks, dunno if that counts...

I'm also getting GTA: San Andreas for my dad, an "Ah! My Goddess" wallscroll for my GF (she's spoiled now), and something Univ. Of S.C. related for my Mom (maybe a panoramic poster for her wall at work.)

[whiteflip]

Allright. Who I am getting gifts for and what

Mom - Some pimp headphones for her CD player she uses at work
Dad - iRobot book(s) and movies based on book(s)
Brother - tools
Brother's wife - I dunno, Coffee?
Sister - Sponge bob arcade stick
Aunt - power tools
Uncle - assorted meats and cheeses
Cousin - Car (not a toy car this time)
Cousin - Something classic remade for XBoX
Cousin - Girly toys, recorder (like a flute)
Nephew - Namco Arcade for GC
Nephew - Soft nosieless baby stuff and a tamborine
Friend - mini keg
Myself - 800 watt power inverter

I'm not to big on gift certificates. It is retarded money really. You can only use it at one place and if you don't use it after a time it disapears.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

I won't be able to afford gifts for all my family this year, but there are a couple gifts I'll be giving. My dad keeps telling me not to get him anything, so I'll probably see if I can at least take him to dinner or something like that. Spending time with him is gift enough for me. I'd like to get something for my sister, but I really don't know what she wants or if I can really afford much. My mom told me what she wanted, so I'll get it for her (a small trimmer; don't ask ). And for my sweetie, I'll be getting one gift and making another gift for her. The gift I'm getting her is a practical gift, even though I doubt she'll even use it... (you better use it. ) And the one I'll be making isn't anything major, but it's just a little something to show her how much I love her. (Sorry, but you're going to have to wait until we get back down here before you get your gifts, baby. )

[pixiefied]

your a shit

[missyob]

I want some beds for my boys and some candles for myself.

The rest I will post later.

[d0rk]

Various friends - Various CDs, books, gift cards, me
Parents - Something I can find in the mall that looks useful/I know they will use
Siblins - Same as parents.

@Pixie: I think he would be happy to just see you nekked on his bed wearing a Santa Claus hat.

For my family, I wish I could have my brother-in-law home for Xmas. The hubby and I both wish for jobs, and we were able to get the rugrat a couple of gifts. We're lucky that she's not too materialistic and is very happy with whatever you get her. Except for GI Joe's, those are for boys only. Oh yeah, I'll probably be baking banana, applesauce, and zucchini breads for the relatives that like them.

[SSJ4 Gogitta]

I want one of these, but not a $9,000 one.

I'd probably suggest you two have some Keiichi/Belldandy cosplay/sex thing going on, but that'd may be too weird for you and your girlfriend, so I'll refrain from properly doing so...

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

And you're a bad speller.

Seriously, why am I a shit? Because you're going to have to wait a little bit to get your presents?

Shy said

Indeed.

Matter of fact, I'll pick one up after we all meet up for lunch when I get to Washington... Or, I might even get it before I get there. Wonder if I'll get a bunch of strange looks from wearing a Santa hat on the plane.

[Phyltre]

MidnightViper88, you may be shocked to know that I have in fact drawn Skuld's oval on my GF's forehead before.

I took pictures, maybe I can scan them in later.

Ho ho ho.

[aFfLiCtEd]

I'm shopping in my underwear this year . . .

All my girlfriends will be getting this. (My own design)

The guys will be getting this. (I have one...pretty cool)

My daughter of course will be getting her usual $2500.00 cash.

I'll stick with my assortment of pocket knives and zippo's . That blade is like 2 inches at best. So tiny. I guess it would be good for utility. Like opening a box or a letter. And if you can't get it open you can burn it

Now that's a neat idea! . . . Yeah, it's a pretty small blade . . . I believe it's more of a novelty item/conversation piece than a practical instrument . . . although it's interesting when giving someone a light to watch their reaction when a blade pops out instead of the flame.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

I'd never ask you for a light. You might chop my cigarette in half. :P

[jerimiah40]

My sister and I saved up some money together, add that to the money that our parents give us to buy christmas presents each year, we have 50 bucks to spend on presents!

Who I'm getting presents for -
My mom
My dad
My grandma
My aunt
My uncle
My sister (saved up a little money on my own)

What I'm getting them -
My mom - Undisclosed Info
My dad - Undisclosed Info
My grandma, aunt, and uncle - probably going to make something
My sister - No idea, whatever I have enough money for probably

[whiteflip]

Wow tight budget. Good luck with that.

Syth, I'd suggest getting a 128mb version. The extra ram doesnt help that much for how much it costs. Should free up some cash for your family

I wish I was your kid.

Since it's for a laptop, I can only get the card directly from DELL, and that's the only graphics card update available. I'll probably just end up sticking with my 128MB 9700 anyhow...

My girlfriend is the only person, and hardest person I'm shopping for this year.

Yes, girlfriends can be really hard to shop for. Last year, a greatide came to me in the middle of october and I was set. This year, no such luck.

[Phyltre]

eBay is FULL of things for girlfriends, they've been very helpful this year.

For gamer-girls, try PlayAsia.com...they have LOTS of that kind of stuff, and also Japanese kitsch which is getting more and more popular these days with both sexes.

And while you're at PlayAsia.com, I have the ultimate gift for a gamer's girlfriend:
