What are you GIVING this year?

[Sethomas]

Let's all hope that none of our recipients read this thread before they get their gifts!

What are some of the gifts that you feel special about giving to people? My family gifts are kind of lame this year, just giving them basic shit that they'd actually asked for or would obviously like or whatever. BUT I'm getting one of my best friends a box of 20 Fat Cat cigars. They're awesome, the band has a Cheshire cat smoking a cigar in a pinstripe suit and the catalog described them as being "Acrid and Foul". I'm also getting him a bottle of mead, 'cuz he asked for a nice bottle of wine but he likes mead so he'll never see that one coming!

I just now gave my girlfriend her gift, I dropped it off at her work and told the desk to give it to her. SHIT, I just remembered that I forgot to mark off the price on the frame! I chose it because she's a Near Eastern Languages and Cultures major, it's a leaf from the Koran dating to around 1650 and it's written with gold leaf and shit. I had it professionally framed with a really nice frame (marked $44, but on sale with 75% off!) and a brass plaque saying what it is. Suede matting, bitches!

Now I just need to find a gift for my other best friend. She's a girl and she's really cool, what should I get her??

Oh, I'm not ultra-rich, I just have more income than usual right now because my costs of living aren't much of an issue.

Drinks for my friends when we're at the bar next. There's not really anyone I'd go and buy a present for aside from my mom and I'll probably end up getting her a new cell phone or something since hers is ANCIENT :O

[Krythor]

"My Girl" on DVD with a christmas message marked on the back of a baby photo of me standing next to a christmas tree inserted inside the case. And champagne.

[noob3]

nothing

[liquidstatik]

i cant afford to give this year :x

[MetalMilitia]

My girlfriend wants some kind of vibrator but I need to order it to my parents house as I'm home for christmas. Should be ok but there is certainly the possibility of an extremely arkward situation.

I'm also getting a phone and probably the entire Family Guy (S1-5) box set.

[GADZOOKS]

:lol

[noob3]

Hey why don't you fuck your girlfriend a little better & you won't have to buy her a vibrator :(

[MetalMilitia]

I'm away at university for most of the week and she likes sex a hole bunch.

[liquidstatik]

at least she's not fucking other boys, i guess :x

[MetalMilitia]

exactly. Not that she would anyway mind - I'm far too much of a catch >:

[GADZOOKS]

Tell her to go get a job, christmas isn't for vibrators.

My girlfriend doesn't want an actual Christmas present, she wants me to donate either to the World Wildlife Federation, or to some Vegan Animal Rescue Farm. :rolleyes
So I adopted a koala from the World Animal Federation, which I'm pretty sure is just the ghetto version of the World Wildlife Federation. But it probably won't arrive before Christmas :( Christmas shopping :(

I don't think there's actually a koala bear coming, but you do get some kind of koala bear paraphenalia or some such.

[xbxDaniel]

Like his paw? Cuz that would be cool.

I'm giving my dad chrome for his bike.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I got my brother Brainage for the DS, Seinfeld Seasons 1 & 2 for dad, and some book for my mom.

[Gorlack the Destroyer]

im getting marvel zombies (HC) for a friend.

[AngryTinyMan]

I got my brother a t-shirt with a monkey holding a stick of dynamite with the caption "I'm a slow learner."
I got my sister Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I'm going to wrap it, stick the DVD in a jar, fill the jar with dirt, then wrap up the jar and give her that.
I pitched in $52 with my brother to buy my mom a pair of binoculars.
And my dad told me he didn't want anything, so I'm still trying to figure something out. Maybe a CD or something.

[Yggdrasill]

CD player to my little sister.

Teeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DVD collection to my baby sister.

[Azrael]

A shitload of Bratz. As creepy as those things are. And my nephew gets SmackDown! vs RAW.

[Mystie]

I'm giving out all kinds of great presents this year... lessee.... one of my friends is getting 20Q, which I think is a pretty cool gift, seeing as it's one of the top toys of 2006. My mom loves pink flamingos, so I got her one of those potted-plant size pink flamingos. My Wii brother is getting a pillow designed like a ? block from Mario as well as some Nintendo Stampers and a keychain version of the Zelda Game & Watch and some root beer Flavor Aid. My PS3 brother is getting a new controller for his PS3 and some other gay shit.

I got my two best friends HELIO cell phones.
my mom a spa day.
im sending chojin naked pictures.. hahahahah.. kidding ;)
and I took like 5 people out to eat.

the rest of my money is for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :rave :rave :rave w00t

[Cosmo Electrolux]

what a coincidence, I'm sending Chojin naked pics too.

[NightOfTheLivingDon]

I got my woman a talking Pee-Wee Herman doll with a Chairy puppet whose eyes move, Ghostigital's first album (which is actually just Einar Orn and the album's name is Ghostigital which later became the band name because people from Iceland have a couple bats in the belfry), and a South Park shirt with Stan holding a boombox over his head and it says Shock the Monkey on the bottom. She wants Shock the Monkey to be our wedding song. That's cool. Luckily she's with me on the notion that X-mas is for toys and Valentines is for jewelry. My buddy Dave is coming up from the city because he can't get to Florida to see his family, so I bought him a Hadeki Matsui wall clock. He better appreciate that. I fucking hate the Yankees, and loath giving them money.

I think she bought me a Wii. There's only one Wii sized box under the tree with my name on it. I've been feeling like Cartman for a week. My television is doomed.

And for myself, a bottle of Jameson, a bottle of Baileys, and a twelve pack of Guiness! :yum

I'll be sending naked pictures to Sen. Foley.

[DuFresne]

I'm giving my girlfriend a penguin that craps out jellybeans. Everyone else gets the joy of simply knowing me, which better damn well be enough. >:

[Dire Flamingo]

I'm giving my cousin some "Littlest Pet Shop" things, my mom a scarf I knit that doesn't actually look shitty, and my dad a Frank Zappa shirt in a tin R. Crumb lunchbox because I can't wrap things.

[Preechr]

I sent my 2 and 3 year old nieces the most noisy but fun things I can find because I'm kind of a little pissed at my sister at the moment, plus I'm just generally an asshole.

Two really soft and huggable stuffed animals (a sheep and a pig) that have those little things embedded in their paws that make animal noises when you squeeze them...

Then, a fake MP3 player that plays really gay nursery rhyme songs and a fake microphone that plays gay music and lets them record them singing to the gay music and then play it back...

It's all wrapped in poppy plastic with about 5 lbs of shredded paper stuffed in there just to make a mess.

She's gonna call up and cuss me out good.

You can't give AIDS. You can only give HIV. I believe this board has spent enough time on this subject for you to know that >:

[BlueOatmeal]

I want to give all the girls of the world a kiss!

[Grislygus]

I just ran out because I completely forgot to get my dad a gift, and the local bookstore had ONE copy of How To Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way for five percent off.
