I'm eBaying for many x-mas presents this year. I've already gotten a camcorder and soccer bag for my daughter, both in excellent condition.

No malls for me!

How/where are you doing your shopping this year?

All Christmas shopping must occur no earlier than 3 days before Christmas and all gifts must be at least 20% higher in price than August retail prices. You are not celebrating Christmas properly and are missing the true spirit of the season.

Shame on you.

Ive only bought one Xmas present so far; and that was for my mom. I got her the new Margaret George historical novel(we both love her work) from Barnes & Noble.
Ill probably be buying a bunch of Barnes & Noble gift certificates for various family, getting a sweater from Hechts for my grandmother, and some leather cd holders for my step-brother/step-sister. My mom told me to get my brother Dr pepper, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets. he lives in a college dorm.. so yeah. Ill probably get him a gas card of something too.
Im doing very little of my shopping online this year. The only thing Im getting online is a new computer for my son.

Get him an iMac and he'll love you forever.


Getting my dad a Shackleton DVD (taking recommendations, if there are any). Books/music/movies for the rest of the family. A Coach purse for me wife and probably some crackers for the baby. I'm hoping to get an XBox and Madden football.

Having to buy for an assorted rabble of friends and family I went to the bottle store and bought all 12 of them the same thing, cheap, classy, cultural and more importantly lightweight.

I don't understand why the Grolsch site has a girl with no arms laying on her stomach staring at a bottle of beer on it though.

I think that is a bottle cap that keeps your fresh if you are too pussy to finish it once you open it.

And if your family don't want petrol, fuck them.

I think a five gallon can of gas would make a great gift.

You do a good job of 'lone', though.

Get your son an iMac and he'll slap you for spending more than necessary for less than you could get at the same price.

I just need to find something for my wife. She already did all the shopping for absolutely everyone else. It rocks. Hopefully she will leave out a few catalogs with stuff circled and the pages marked again this year

I really hate choosing gifts for xmas for people, but I do like to just pick stuff up for people throughout the year if I see something that really suits them. Today I gave my sister a blaze orange hunting vest because she hit a deer with her car last week.

That pen looks the size of a Louisville slugger. No thanks.

I don't buy presents for folks. Simplifies my shopping to the nth degree.
