Are any of you stuggling to find the perfect gift or atleast track it down?
Usually I'm done BEFORE Thanksgiving but this year thanks to two of my favorite things, alcohol and procrastination...I just started, and the heat is on. My uncle, who is my boy and probably soon to be business partner ALWAYS comes through with the goods. Since I was a little kid he would get me a bag filled with figures, and usually a jersey or something cool. This was the FIRST YEAR he ever asked me for something in return..."I'd like the old Coleco Electronic Quarterback game I had back when." Easy enough right? I've been hunting since last Sat...I finally have one comming in "excellent" condition. In all my years of "hunting"...this was the biggest pain in the balls ever. Any similar stories? |

My parents are a total pain in the ass to shop for, I never know what to get them.
I ask my mom what she wants, she says s*** like, "oh, don't get me anything, save your money." Thanks Ma! I usually end up getting her a gift card, so boring, my dad's the same way, he has random interests like astronomy and John Deer, wait, I just had an idea, John Deer apparel! Thanks PitViper, I'm off to ebay! |

Haha..anytime!
I think our mom's must hang out...I keep getting these flimsy half assed answers for what she want's...my mom is fantastic at using jedi mind tricks and getting me to forget what I was asking her about. The problem is this...I will find out what she wants but it'll be VERY close to the 25th, so I can look fwd to lines, parking lots and anxiety attacks. Yay mall. |

Your mothers sound like my Dad. He says "Don't get me anything, I don't need it" every year, but I would never actually do that. He's got every tool known to man, so I have to get creative. I got him a new trash can (wheee) and the new "Sherlock Holmes" on DVD thus far. I'm racking my brain for more gifts beyond that...
PV, I don't mind all the people and the lines, it's the damn crazy women drivers that make me angry! They're literally insane when they're trolling the mall and the roads around it. |

Maybe we're all living in the Matrix, and are parents are all the same b/c they're all the same program.

I used to struggle to think of some kind of good gift for my wife. Something that she would appreciate the thought I put into selecting it and getting it. But, I always managed to screw it up and not get the right thing. Now I just buy jewelry and I haven't gone wrong since.
