    hey guys it is that time of year again and have you ever had a real hard time getting a gift for someone. This year i have got to find a gift for someone I REALLY DON"T LIKE. so i'm looking for ideas on what i should get this vile person. I don't want to be too obvious like getting them coal or something.

    I've been looking around the internet and i found some ideas but they have problems with them. one idea was the WOW! thats what i call music cd collection, but this nasty person like those albums.

    SO my question is "What do you get for someone you hate?!"

    Well, in my book the fine people that manage to tick all of the above boxes would get treated to the answer of this riddle.

    Get something that's nice, within the specified price range (if there is one), that's convenient to pick up. Life's too short to be focusing on who or what you hate. And if you get something pointedly crappy, those that don't hate him will think you're crappy. Get past it and enjoy Christmas anyway.

    DVD fireplace, I like it "LOL"

    Fruitcake's, they make great Door stops, especially if it's gift from last yr.

    My Grandma sent me fruitcake last yr, the dog wouldnt eat it, funny thing my dog will eat Anything! He even lies around all day licking his butt, but not one lick for the old fruitcake.

    Some hysterical replies...oh...they are always so much fun!:D

    As this is such a dilemma for you I assume it's more of an obligation...either work related or one of those situations where if you don't get a 'decent' gift you'll have a family member or friend ticked off at you. In such situations I find it best to just get a decent card and put a gift card for some place like Target in it..hand it off with a smile and a Merry Christmas and you haven't caused any hard feelings.:)

    Personally, I prefer to receive gift cards, especially from people that don't know me real well...then I can pick out the perfect gift for me.:)
