CHRISTMAS presents: the thread

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What are good Christmas presents to buy nowadays?

anything notable you guys are buying that are unique?

So far, probably buying a bunch of gift cards for people. aunts and uncles...who knows...they are the hardest to buy for. Any interesting portland-esque crap?

probably going to buy my dad an Amazon kindle. dunno what to get mom right now. maybe a digital photo frame.

halp!

I never really buy anything for aunts and uncles in my family unless they're close.

I haven't thought much about what I'm going to get my family. I may be getting my dad a Redskins jersey (he lives in England so they go apeshit for that sort of thing). My mum wants something from Nordstrom so I'll have a look around there -- maybe perfume. My sister is going to be the hardest to find something for, followed closely by my Grandma.

Any ideas for a 6-year-old and an old person?

6=year old: Toys r' Us gift card or some latest toy.

Grandpa: Whisky and porn

Just re-wrap something they already have in their house. They will probably forget that they had it and will be a good gift since they at one time liked it enough to buy it once.

I re-wrap gifts that my wife asked for and did not use in previous years. She loves when I do that.

Recipe binders for everyone!

That said, I'm getting a Citizen solar powered watch for the wife. She hates it when the battery dies.

My father-in-law is a vegetarian who loves Indian food, and I make a mean channa masala. So I'm whipping together about 12 servings for his freezer.

For the kids I think I'll do a candy-a-week thing my wife and I have done for years. I'll probably add math problems and spanish words on the candy labels.

Still have to think of something for mother-in-law. I owe her big time, and I don't want to just buy something....

Only because they don't know how to read!

How often do you read?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I get books too. hipster books for my cousins, political for my dad and cookbooks for aunts and uncles. bro gets the hoops books.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

What constitutes a hipster book?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

like ironic books like "Stuff White People Like" or "Awkward Family Portraits". Basically anything you would find at Urban Outfitters.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Thinking of getting my mom those Sketchers Shape up shoes. Want my parents to stay healthy and walk more!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

my bro is hard as fuck to shop for.

I've been wondering how both of those are. Let me know? We need a book thread!

Yes, that is an excellent way to reduce the number of people you have to buy presents for. Just be sure to bury them far, far, away from the road, otherwise they'll be inevitably be dug up, at the most inconvenient time.

It's not a hipster book anymore if you know about it. :scoff:

I would imagine they sell quite well in over there.

Is she a MILF?

My buddy who moved away's parents go to my gym and they're swingers. They go to hedonism shit in Florida and stuff and the mom is a total MILF. Big fake tits and everything. Real cool people, super laid back. They invited me to their annual new years party. I'm hoping maybe i can get in on some of the swinger action.

I want a Nixon watch.
