Darth Groovy Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 We have our wish list thread, our "Very Good Things" thread, both of which include wonderful things that we aquired or purchased for ourselves. Anybody actually buy something for somebody else this Holiday? I got this for my sister: This for my mom: And going to get this for my dad either tomorrow or next week (whenever I find a good price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always buy DVDs or CDs for people. I started way back when I used to work for Sam Goody, and had the employee discount. It got to a point where people just expected it out of me, so I keep that tradition. Everyone in my family LOVES getting movies as gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 This comes for my love next Christmas: (wish me luck) But that is nowhere near paid for yet. So, untill then, this is what I'm getting her: It's not quite like that, but it's close. She LOVES to sing. (And she actually can sing nice, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I didn't get anything for anyone...yet. For my parents, I'm not going to get anything,b ecause whatever I buy my parents, they never use it, so screw it. I'd buy things for my sisters, but I dunno what they like? I dunno what clothes sizes they wear, and all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 For my dear sister, I shall purchase the Triumph the Insult Comic Dog DVD. For other people on my list, I purchased the Star Wars Trilogy Soundtrack Set, a Creative MuVo TX 128MB w/FM MP3 player, and other things I can't remember at the moment. Going to get my dad something techy, and my mother something that she will pick, since she's hard to shop for ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 For my dad I am buying a new mouse and a video card and Mom will get some CDs and I don't know what yet but that shouldn't be difficult. I am also sending a two old PCs to a school my dad founded in South America many yrs ago and some money to one of my cousins who works in a orphanage (also in South America) so the children can get some good food.

El Sitherino Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'm getting my mom the northern exposure dvd. I dunno what I'm gonna do for other people, mainly because I'm poor and I usually just draw pictures for them of whatever the hell they would like a picture of. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno what clothes sizes they wear, and all that stuff. For your sisters: Darn near everyone like music right? Well get 'em a gift card for Best Buy, or take your chances and pick a CD, or if you want it to look like you really worked on it, make a mix CD with a bunch of songs on it, and entitle it 'Because I Care'. :D If all else fails, give 'em a Target gift card. Who doesn't like Target, anyway? As for what I'm getting for people: Meh, I buy people stuff all the time, therefore I don't feel obligated just 'cuz the calendar says so.

narfblat Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Originally posted by Lady Jedi If all else fails, give 'em a Target gift card. Who doesn't like Target, anyway? The Salvation Army, and therefore me. (I am not with the salvation army, but I respect the good they do every year. Target's decision to be "fair" to all charities by not allowing any on their premises is going to hurt them.) Getting back on subject, I've bought 2 of 15 gifts. One is a foot-rest for Mom, the other is a Religious DVD for Grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
