Who's your hardest person to get gifts for?

When in doubt, I always go for scratch-off lottery tickets. You never know.

I got rid of all the people who are hard to buy for this year! My family FINALLY decided to stop drawing names among the adults and only buy presents for the kids! :-D

 

Forget about him just buy for me! I'm easy just order me the hardware for a new quad core system or pre-built system i don't need no monitor or speakers!! lol

If he likes golf does he have a golf cart? if he does maybe something for it? new Batterys, tires, CD-player or maybe a new cart?

 

It used to be my son. He always had very specific requests and sometimes the things that he wanted were near impossible to find. Now, when he visits, we give him our credit card, he goes online, buys what he wants and we tell him to act surprised when he opens it.

Currently, it's my youngest daughter. She is getting harder to buy for, because it seems like she already has everything. :confused

My grandsons are fun to buy for, because I get to play with everything that I get them. Remote control stuff is the best :-D

 

Yeah, the Kinect system does look pretty awesome, would be better for me as I've tried Eyetoy, but I got fed up with waving my arms around like a Looney to try and get it to register on some menus and games. Some were like "uh? - the games over?" and I haven't worked out what to do yet - besides looking like some kind of hyper-fool on steroids :-o. REALLY exhausting after a while, especially when playing with three young kids that just love all the jigging and jumping around. Anyway, much to their dismay, I did manage to beat them on a few things, LoL!
Guys, I find tend to be a lot harder to buy for than most of the girls. Girls, (and women), usually if you buy them something pretty or smelly, (in a good kid of way), they are usually happy. Now most guys are not into that kind of thing, (apart from toiletries, etc.). Sometimes, if they drink, they end up with a bottle of whatever, or if they read, a decent book.
I have to admit, I'm one of those guys that seem to have nearly everything, I mean I own an I.T. Co., so computer stuff I invariably have. But a few folks always seem to find something I like, (usually the women are better at this, for some reason). If anyone want to donate a Ferrari, I guess I wouldn't say no, eh.LOL
Which reminds me, I have to finish my great Christmas spendola today...ugh!

 

He's gonna love that thing, the best for the money out there, as he must have some good knives already but a sharpening steel can only get one so far before one has to re-hone the blade by a pro. Dull knives make one prone to cutting oneself. Maybe Santa will be nice this year and get me one.:major

 

wahoo!! big shout out for the iToy LOL we've got one and i have to agree its pretty energy-consuming, but good fun for when you've got friends round. Not seen the kinect in use, but they seem to have games pretty much the same as the nintendo's games (kinectimals = nintendogs or aminal crossing or whatever its called).

i have 3 birthday presents to get AND christmas presents this year, but thankfully dad gave me a good list, and he is usually the hardest to buy for, so alls good (he's getting chopsticks :-D). i'm not buying for my bro on the basis of he never gets me anything and, my sister is getting a few cds.


music can be a good option, or failing all other ideas, socks and chocs < i mean who doesn't need socks? :confused

 

My mother. She drops all sorts of hints but I'm throughly oblivious.

Forget Kinect. Move and the Wii are infinitely better.

 

My sister, for sure. She owns two clothing stores, so buying clothes and accessories is out. Plus, whatever I do find, she could buy herself!

What do you get for someone who has/can get anything? :confused

 

Hmm, likes golf huh, how about one of these: http://www.keepshooting.com/firearmaccessories/add-ons/ar15-golf-ball-launcher.htm :-D:-D

Bet he does not have one of those.

 

My mother-in-law. When she sees something she wants, she buys it, regardless of what time of year it is. Very annoying...

 

I fixed the Jiggle problem on the Nunchuck by running the strap through the little clip, then back up into the Wiimote condom. It fits snuggly enough that there's much less wiggle now.

I haven't played with Move yet, but I couldn't work with Kinect. I just felt stupid with nothing in my hands. (Stupider than I felt waving the Wiimote anyway.)

 

DO NOT point it at the side of your grandmother's camper!!! LOL

 

Yeah, Potato Launchers and asbestos sheds don't mix well either, so I found out when I was a kid.:-o

 

I blamed my cousin. roflmao

On a side note, I finished my shopping today with one trip to the bookstore. I LOVE having nieces and nephews who read like I do! :-D

 

I was trying to figure out what to buy my sister. Ever since I moved away from her, I feel I haven't talked to her enough to know what she wants right now.

I figured it out tho. She is a mother of 3 children, so I am going to go to her house and clean it for her. She would appreciate that more than any gift I could afford to buy her.

 

My family says Iam the hardest. Cause most of the years I don't give xmas list to the family and each year same thing. Money, gift cards to specific stores or steak n shake, also cologne and if I do make list usually dvds/games. But my systems are consider old to what is out now(ps2 and xbox and gamecube etc) and stores only mainly sell ps3 xbox 360 and other stuff.

 

What? No potato launcher for her kids? You heartless...

Actually, I think that will be a well appreciated gift. Maybe send her and the family off to the movies while you clean.

 

My parents are going to give my middle sister and her husband a gift card for four weekends of baby sitting, that they can cash in at any time during the year, as long as they give a few days notice. The kids are 5, 3, and 6 months. I'm thinking it will be their favorite gift this year.

 

@silas: That's why when I want older games, I send them a word document with easily clickable links to Amazon.
