BOOKS Saved Christmas!

I agree. I floundered around New York fighting the waves of tourists and stuck up locals, went to William and Sonoma, The Container Store, Banana Republic, a menswear store, Best Buy and ended up buying 80% of my gifts at good old Barnes and Noble.

Bought my mom some of her perfume that she wears. Bought my stepfather a DVD set on the WWII (he's a war Buff).

Books aren't bad but I have exhausted that option already a couple years ago.

Books are thoughtless gifts and cheap gift, better off not giving anything.

Got my girlfriend a Macbook Pro, last year got her an Imac. She is a graphic Designer so they come in handy.

No one in my family can read...

I now realize where I get my Degeneracy from.

since my fam is all growns up... i'm the baby... we haven't been buying gifts for one another for a long time...we traditionally buy one $30 gift and do a dirty santa/christmas swap/greedy christmas thing... and trade the presents around..

but these year we are just playing LCR game...put some money in and winner takes all!!!

I get off at 2:00 today, going straight to the mall and buy everyone
gift cards,,,fukk it. Let them decide what they want. This might be thoughtless but fukk it. I'd rather a giftcard than a stupid lookin shirt/sweater that I'll never wear.

Just because you don't like reading doesn't mean you need to go that far big guy

Thank God for bookstores.

Waited until the last minute and malls were packed, was out of ideas... then went to the bookstore.

Everyone has hobbies/interests. Just buy them books on stuff that interest them! Its so simple. Even if they don't read the books, they can't blame you for getting them a thoughtful gift.

What'd you guys do for your folks?
