Speaking of Christmas... let's talk gifts!!

[ckBejug]

I LOVE getting people gifts. It's fun to remember things friends and/or family members say in passing or in conversation that they have long-forgotten about and can't believe you remembered months later and got for them... I don't remember a lot of the gifts I've given but I do remember that look people get on their face when they absolutely love what they got. I was browsing through books at this old used book store once and found a first edition of my ex bf's favorite book. It was great because it was one of those rare books you find that in the hands of the right owner would be worth a lot, but sitting in an old bookstore no one knows how valuable it is! So anyway he was floored when I gave him that book. Especially since I had asked him the name of his favorite book almost a year before when we first met. People don't expect you to remember these kinds of things, I guess. I'm not sure if this counts as a unique gift, but before my best friend sprained her back I had planned an entire trip for the three of us to go to this horseback riding place where you ride to this waterfall and have a great picnic there and then ride back at sunset. Hopefully we'll be able to do it when she gets better. Like someone said before, I don't think you should wait to get someone something just because it's a 'gift-giving' holiday. I think tiny presents or even bigger things are best when they are given in the spur of the moment.

I know how I am going to get the trash into the large white metallic bag. What I don't know is how I am going to lug that large stinky thing to your house!

*sniffff sniffff...

A man ..but.. .

I'm a drama queen, just like Jynx and he seems to be a man. I'm thus a drama queen man.

The cutest thing anyone's ever done for me was when my coworker, who I met about a month prior, found out it was my bday..and redecorated my EnTIRE office..with balloons, confetti, a huge cake, flowers, a gift, and a coupon book for things like, "I'll work 2 saturdays for you"..."one hour massage session"...or "5 lunches on me"...It was soooo cute. Too bad she got fired.

I think I was 15, or 16. Favroite gift I got was birds, from my neighbors. 2 xxxxatiels, they were nameless...





and they're dead now.

Isn't it HILARIOUS that your bird just turned into something naughty?

Tell me if this is a good gift to get a girl I've only been going out with for like 2 weeks...

I'm getting her a pretty beaded necklace, a watch and a $30 gift certificate to whatever her favorite department store is. I'd give me, but have only been going out for like two weeks... who knows, maybe I'll be more 'in love' by the time chistmas time rolls around

Jinx, I don't know much about gifts, and rarely buy any, but the 30$ gift certificate sounds cheapish and cheesy. I'd think you'd be better off without it, but you should take the girls' opinion on this.
