[LikeAWillow]

Hmm, i'd like

[ryan8472]

Hmm, i'd like

- a gift certificate to the mall so I can do my own shopping
Ooh, me too. And one for Best Buy/Circuit City too, because the FYE at the mall is INSANELY overpriced.

[hayley]

I want:

Alias Season 4 (vomit)
Gilmore Girls Season 5
Office Space special edition
Trapp candles

I buy myself everything I want. I have no ability whatsoever to just wait. Just in the last week or two, I've gotten the Buffy box, Scrubs Season 2, and Gilmore Girls Season 4, when I could've easily waited for the holidays.

--> A membership card of my favorite foreign football team, Barcelona

[sparky]

A trouble free trip to The NW for the holiday.
Other than that, nothing. The presents are getting
silly. My house has too much stuff in it already !

Unless someone wants to buy me real estate, I have no list.

[sasja]

What I want for Christmas and Hannukah both is for our 11-week-old son to pleeeaaaasssseeee start sleeping through the night oh please please please pretty please?

And if that's too much to ask, a nice new pair of ice-skates would be second best!


Sasja

[DavidMn]

I want to see the woman I'm in love with again. That's the most important thing. I won't get it but "someday" I will, I'm thinking.You know it. Whoever doesnt get you, **** that's their loss.:nod:

[DavidMn]

Hmm, well, I could use some new clothes, and a couple pairs of shoes, oh, and a gift certificate to Macaroni Grill. MMMMMMM

[rbs3676]

[WelshWitchPMD]

Rush-R30 DVD/Cd set


I am looking for a good Rush CD. I like YYZ, Red Barchetta and Tom Sawyer, etc. Do you have anything to recommend?

As for what I want for Xmas? Just some gift cards. I would actually be very happy with an Amazon.com gift certificate.

[mylittledemon]

I'm easy to please. I just like to be surprised by something, or just get a check in the mail. Either one. I also would like to spend a nice evening by the fire with Ms. BTFLCHLD.

[sara1998]

Lasik eye surgery and some veneers. :lol:
It's all about vanity, isn't it??? :lol:

[sara1998]

Sasja
Good luck with that! :o

[wondergirl9847]

I want a....motorbike. LOL No, sesly, I do. I'm 100% sure I won't get one, but I'd love to have one. I'm still such a tomboy.

I mostly want DVD's and CD's for Christmas...that's what I ask for mostly every year. :)

Of course, I would love to have my cousin, Michelle to be here with us, and my dog, Candy. I also want my uncle to be cancer free and well again....and to have a better 2006 than I had 2005. :(

[Miss Vicky]

I don't really want anything.

I am absolutely impossible to shop for because everything that I really want, I buy for myself. I suppose I could've not bought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or Conversations with Tom Petty, or the Walk the Line Soundtrack, or Lindsey's Soundstage DVD or even that Joaquin Phoenix PETA DVD, since those would have been good inexpensive items that I could've let other people get for me...

But that means waiting until December 25th to own them. That means I couldn't enjoy them between now and that time and I just don't have that kind of patience.

[UnwindedDreams]

Buy the lindsey soundstage now! it is totally worth not waiting! I wanted to wait, but I said wtf, I'll just get it... and I was blown away!

[dissention]

Ooh, me too. And one for Best Buy/Circuit City too, because the FYE at the mall is INSANELY overpriced.

I would be offended if someone gave me a gift certificate. It's indicative of someone not putting any thought or effort into giving you a gift that is meant to signify their love for you. Not that material objects can convey that, but gift certificates are precisely what's wrong with the holiday season and they show just how commercialized and meaningless the spirit of giving has become.

*gets off soapbox* :laugh:

[Miss Vicky]

I would be offended if someone gave me a gift certificate.

I like gift certificates. I've always maintained that the only way to be sure that you get what you want is to buy it for yourself - but it's better if you can buy it for yourself with someone else's money. :)

Besides, if people get me gift certificates, I don't have to worry about returning items that I don't want or that I already bought for myself.

I've been known to give gift certificates, but I generally only give them in addition to an actual tangible gift. I never give just a gift certificate, unless it's for someone like my brother, who lives out of state and for whom I haven't the slightest idea what to buy.

[Stephanie]

My husband and I want to get pregnant. That's all we want for christmas!:)

[wondergirl9847]

I would be offended if someone gave me a gift certificate.

You don't have aunts or grandmothers who buy you stuff that is.....just bad, do you? :laugh: I mean, it's nice of them to get me anything, but I've had to put stuff in garage sales or give it to charity.

I would MUCH rather get a gift certificate/card because I'm so picky and would just rather get what I want. My aunt is a sweet lady, but her gifts to me over the years....:shocked:

[Miss Vicky]

On second thought...

There is something I want, but I really REALLY shouldn't get.

Another rat.

Don't get me wrong, Stella is a sweetheart, but she's a bit of a spaz and I miss having a big cuddly boy around the house. And Stella is getting old fast (not as in I'm tired of her, but as in aging), she's already grown a tumor, which was removed about three weeks ago... and when you find one tumor on a rat, it's only a matter of time before you find another. :distress:

*gets off soapbox* :laugh:

I used to hold the same opinion, but I've gotten so many useless gifts (or ones that aren't my taste at all), I'd prefer a gift card. :(

[tynan88]

Aww what's wrong snookums? Did your last one get dirty? :laugh: :p

Do we have the same aunt? :laugh: She gave me a granny robe one year (one of those quilted ones with the lace ruffles). I gave it to my grandma (other side of the family) who regifted it to one of her friends. :o

[estranged4life]

the double disc "Rush Chronicles" set...Contains the tracks you listed and much, much more.

[Wild_Heart03]

Ooh, and iPod would be nice. And The Golden Girls Season 3.

Ditto to all of the above, as well as season 1 of The Nanny.

[WelshWitchPMD]

I have a cousin who gets me the same darn sweater ever year and in the wrong size.:distress: I would much rather have a gift certificate or card then something to wear. I hate to say this but I think that some people are just cheap and don't want you to know what they spend so they don't go with the gift cards.:laugh: I am not saying that is the case with my cousin but some others that I know, well.:confused:
I usually do the gift cards with some kind of a small gift, too. This way they can get something that they actually like and they also have something that I thought that they might like.

Thanks Brian. 'Goes off to put on Santa's list".;)

Lasik eye surgery and some veneers. :lol:
Man, I would KILL for some veneers. :nod:

[andymaycen]

For Christmas this year, I want Jesus to come back and take all of his nutbag followers with him to where ever they are supposed to go...Okay so that is not likely...HHHMMM How about all the fundy-nutbags in this country have to start acting christ-like and leave the rest of us who don't believe in their crap to live our lives in peace....That's it, yes that is what I want. I would take that over Christine coming back and FM doing a new album with a new tour and a revolving setlist that was done for no other reason than to entertain the diehard fans.

[sparky]

Here's my theory on giftcards...if you don't know someone well enough to get them something they would really enjoy, you don't know them well enough to be obligated to buy them a gift.

[WildInTheWind]

A pair of Lucky Brand jeans and Matrix Sleeklook Shampoo and Conditioner. That's all I can think of. The two expensive things that I can't afford to buy for myself! I do need work clothes, but that's no fun. :o

[WildInTheWind]

What I want for Christmas and Hannukah both is for our 11-week-old son to pleeeaaaasssseeee start sleeping through the night oh please please please pretty please?



Sasja

Good luck with that! My daughter is 3 1/2 and still doesn't sleep through the night! :eek:

[WelshWitchPMD]

I don't know about that. I would rather have a gift card because what if something I want like say a CD or DVD is not even out yet. At least I can buy it when it does come out later that year.
Actually, now that I think about it CVS now has a gift card for digital prints. I am always in there making prints and I have a printer.:laugh: Now, that would be something that I would like to put on my Xmas list.

Thats pretty ungrateful. I always assume that when a gift certificate is given, the person who got it would rather see you get what YOU want from "said" location.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was unbelievably offended by this statement. Whether you believe Christ was who we says he ways or not, that's a damn foolish thing to say. 99.9% of most scholars at least believe he existed...and lived and died here on Earth. And any man that comes to this earth and never commits a crime, heals the sick, raises the dead, and dies by crucifixion saying its for our sins, can't be all that bad. Whether your above statement was tongue in cheek or not, I think we here on the Ledge could do without them. And just for the record, I am not a church going Bible-toter.

[dissention]

And that's pretty ****ed up if you ask me. That's not what the season of giving is about. I see no heart in being a given a little plastic card and being told 'Go find something you like.' It's empty.

[AliceLover]

True But I would rather love a gift card from best Buy than Grannys old knitted sweater that your obligated to wear to every family function.

[dissention]

True But I would rather love a gift card from best Buy than Grannys old knitted sweater that your obligated to wear to every family function.

I wouldn't. Whether or not I actually like the gift, I'd be perfectly content knowing that someone cared enough to actually knit a sweater for me. That alone is worth more to me than something I go and pick out myself with a silly gift card. It isn't about material objects, it's about the heart behind the actual gift.

[WelshWitchPMD]

True But I would rather love a gift card from best Buy than Grannys old knitted sweater that your obligated to wear to every family function.

Yeah, I would rather have a gift card to a place that I liked then a shirt that is so not me. Not to mention it was purchased at a place that is so not me. At least if they did put any thought into the gift they 'thought' that I was thinner then I actually am.:laugh:

That IS true, but giving someone a 50 dollar gift card to somewhere shows me love as well.

[HomerMcvie]

True But I would rather love a gift card from best Buy than Grannys old knitted sweater that your obligated to wear to every family function.
Amen. I'm with Alice Lover on this one. The LAST thing I want is some old ugly sweater, that I don't want, clogging up my dresser drawers. And, to add insult to injury, I'd feel like I had to wear it whenever I saw her. My Mom and I always played, "Tell me EXACTLY what you want".

[mylittledemon]

And that's pretty ****ed up if you ask me. That's not what the season of giving is about. I see no heart in being a given a little plastic card and being told 'Go find something you like.' It's empty.


Wow. Would you rather get nothing from someone? I get gift cards from relatives I've not seen in years. They don't particularly "know" what i'm into anymore...I'm all grown up. It's the THOUGHT and EFFORT that counts. They are still giving. I see your point about it being an "empty" effort...but that's not entirely true. They thought about you enough to get you something...and perhaps they thought about you enough NOT to get you something you wouldnt want. Quit being so damned snobbish. We should consider ourselves lucky to live in a country where we can still afford to give and receive gifts from one another.

My relatives have no idea what to buy me, either. Even if I give them suggestions, they still pick out whatever they want. In these instances, I'd rather have a gift card.

[dissention]

Wow. Would you rather get nothing from someone?

It doesn't particularly matter to me. It's not about receiving. I don't care if I receive an empty gift such as a gift card just because someone feels obligated to give me something. The spirit of giving has become bastardized by commercialism and it's pretty sad to me.

If it works for you, that's fine. But I find being given such things to be hollow. That's how I feel, whether you agree with me or not.

I see your point about it being an "empty" effort...but that's not entirely true. They thought about you enough to get you something...and perhaps they thought about you enough NOT to get you something you wouldnt want.

They reek more of obligation than anything else.

This statements stinks. You say "afford to give" as if giving is something that should be measured via money spent and material objects. That's not the case, thankfully. Not that anyone would know it these days.

[mylittledemon]

I don't care if I receive an empty gift such as a gift card just because someone feels obligated to give me something. The spirit of giving has become bastardized by commercialism and it's pretty sad to me.

Then give all those gift cards back to the people who send them to you and see how that makes them feel. And then afterwards, look deep down and see how you feel about that, all the while asking yourself if that was the "right" thing to do.

As far as what you said in the last sentence of the above post, I would completely agree. I would take that further, and say that the very concept of Christmas itself has been bastardized. Thus, the reason why I hate this holiday.

Christ! You are confusing the hell out of me. Aren't you the one who friggin totally embarrassed an employee at some store because you didn't get your friggin bargain? Pretty sad to you....You gave us the link to the Black Friday website for Christs sake.

[mylittledemon]

I'm enjoying the fact that "andymaycen" has been quiet since his/her post on page four. Also, I find it somewhat unnerving that no one has back up my rebuttal (also on page four). Even you, dissention! *wink*

[Janet]

I want to see the woman I'm in love with again. That's the most important thing. I won't get it but "someday" I will, I'm thinking.

I just totally broke all ties with a guy I liked. I would hope we'd be friends but no way.

But I guess that is my Christmas wish right now. I hope you get yours.

[Janet]

And that's pretty ****ed up if you ask me. That's not what the season of giving is about. I see no heart in being a given a little plastic card and being told 'Go find something you like.' It's empty.

I only want gift cards. I never go shopping because I have no money. I love shopping. Give me cards to go shopping with and I am SOOOOOOOOO happy.

It's not empty. But once you hit a certain age ( 28 here) like who knows what I like? Everything I really want is way too expensive and little things I just get myself when I need it.

I just like shopping, that's a gift in itsself!

True...however his statement had to be one of the more offensive ones I've read in some time. And I think I'm one of the more tolerant Ledgies around...generally I just ignore the comments. However I think it's important to remember that just because you don't understand something (i.e Andy's thoughts on Jesus for example), you surely don't want to mock them either. I don't think Mr. Andy would run around the local shopping mall trying to conjure spirits of the dead with ouija boards and candles.

I might have, had I been here;) I think there's a lot of hypocrisy going round when it comes to discussions about religion anyway. People attacking each other for the wrong reasons with the wrong arguments and so on.
Shame, could be interesting to have an honest open discussion.

I see your point. I've gotten sucked in before, and it usually went badly, so that's why I avoid.

Christ! You are confusing the hell out of me.

Then pay better attention.

[dissention]

Even you, dissention! *wink*

Yes, it is shocking. I didn't particularly feel like debating the Jesus **** for the millionth time. While the beginning of his post was a bit much, I certainly didn't disagree with the rest of it. I would like to hear from some of those scholars that support the beliefs that "Jesus" healed the sick and raised the dead, though.

[mylittledemon]

The latter part was my touch....the scholar part was relative to the sentence in which it was posted...about the fact that Jesus lived/died here on earth.

[dissention]

The latter part was my touch....the scholar part was relative to the sentence in which it was posted

Ah, okay.

...about the fact that Jesus lived/died here on earth.

That's up for debate. Though it isn't particularly well made, I suggest seeing a documentary called "The God Who Wasn't There" by Brian Flemming. It won't change your mind, but it skillfully deconstructs the assertion that Jesus was real.

[UnwindedDreams]

Just put your own address in.

[dissention]

I've got to look into this because I've had quite a few intensely liberal history professors (some who would not identify as Christians) who all believed, based on their readings, that Jesus certainly did exist. Of course they have no comments whatsoever in class about whether or not he was the Messiah. (That would be wildly inappropriate and they know it; I wish all the English professors around here understood that, but that's another issue). Maybe someone's missing something. :shrug:


Here's the site you can get it from, I doubt Blockbuster would have it. :laugh:

What are my holiday wishes? Well, let's see....

My husband just left yesterday for a 6-month job in Chicago. He definitely won't be home for Thanksgiving. He'll try to make it home for Christmas, but that's not 100% assured.

We're flat broke at the moment. All the checking accounts with my husband's name on them are currently frozen, because one of his clients stopped payment on a rather large check he'd deposited into his business account, then wrote him another large (but lesser amount) check, which he attempted to deposit. When he did, due to our lovely Patriot Act, it raised "red flags", and now we're being treated like terrorists. They froze every account with the bank which his name is on... including our joint account, where all the bills are paid out of, many of which are automated payments. So we've been bouncing payments all over the place... car insurance, child's tuition, credit cards, mortgage payments, etc., and are getting even more bill collectors calling than we were before. We get at least 2 an hour. (Thank goodness for caller id, at least.) The only 2 credit cards I have are maxed out, and I only have $6.00 to last me until our accounts are unfrozen.

Then I discovered this morning, when I was about to drive my son to the park, that my car wouldn't start. Have no ideas what's wrong with it, but it's not good. It's not the battery... the lights can still be turned on. But when I try to start the car, it chugs for 1/2 a second, and goes totally dead. So it will have to be towed to the car dealership tomorrow. Considering all our money is frozen, and I have no money left on my credit cards, how I'll pay for this is beyond me. I did get an extended warranty, but I'm not sure if it's still in effect or whether it will cover whatever's wrong with the car. I pray it is and it does. Otherwise, I'm totally f*cked.

So what do I want for the holidays? To know that I won't be homeless. Because if I am, I may not even have a car to sleep in. (Of course, even if the car is fixed, I may have no insurance left, because this was the second insurance payment in a row that bounced.) And I also wish to have some shred of my sanity left, and not feel like a total failure who can't even pay her f*cking bills.

What are my holiday wishes? Well, let's see....

AND - you are not a failure, you are just having a bad moment, a situation everyone has been in :angel:

[LINDSEY#1FAN]

I don't know about anyone else, but I was unbelievably offended by this statement. Whether you believe Christ was who we says he ways or not, that's a damn foolish thing to say. 99.9% of most scholars at least believe he existed...and lived and died here on Earth. And any man that comes to this earth and never commits a crime, heals the sick, raises the dead, and dies by crucifixion saying its for our sins, can't be all that bad. Whether your above statement was tongue in cheek or not, I think we here on the Ledge could do without them. And just for the record, I am not a church going Bible-toter.

I have to agree with you wholeheartedly !!!!!!! No, I don't even go to church, but I do believe !!!

DUDE. You are foul and vulgar and it works for me. :lol:

[Moony]

What do I want for Christmas?

I'd like to be happy.

Onto the gift card debate, since it's such an important issue. I've always appreciated gift cards since they allow me to get exactly what I want, but on the other hand, I'd much rather get an actual gift. There's something disheartening about recieving only that little cardboard box with the plastic card inside, and it conveys a lack of thought and effort - in some cases.

I feel kind of jerky wanting things when people like Stargazer are having such troubles. :sorry: But here's my list anyway.

Hubby's getting me a remote starter for the new car - my old one had it & I reeeeeeeeally want it in this car too. A necessity in Buffalo.

Asking mom for a nice toaster oven. I had a small old one, but the knob broke & I'm tired of heating up the oven just to cook up some Bagel Bites. ;)

DVDs:
Gilmore Girls (any season except 1)
Lindsey's Soundstage

CDs:
New Neil Diamond
Cyndi lauper "The Body Acoustic"
Martina McBride's new one
Melissa Etheridge's Greatest Hits

Other than that - still no clue. I'm always up for silver earring or funky watches, or picture frames/albums. Gift cards - they're OK. I rarely buy them, but I don't get upset if I receive one. People are busy these days, we've had a lot of turmoil in the fam lately, so if people don't have the time & energy to pick out a more personal gift for me, I'll live. :angel:

I never noticed that as much with her as with other singers that I call the Car Alarm Vocalists...Whitney, Pariah, Screechine, LaBelle. I guess she does go full bore more often that not. I find her voice to have a nice tone to it, so it doesn't make the hair on the back of my neck stand up like those others. She isn't shrill. And maybe yelling isn't as annoying to me as screaming. She doesn't have the same sense of dynamics as, say Trisha Yearwood, and she is pretty far along in her career so she may never learn to sing with that kind of grace. I like some of her stuff anyway, though.

Supposedly I'm getting an iPod from my mom, which she was supposed to get me for my birthday (which was August 26) so we'll see if that happens. I'm definitely asking for Arrested Development Season 2. And clothes and money. That's good enough for me. :)

I cannot believe you haven't seen it. You will love it. And if you do not, then you are an infidel, and part of the problem. :woohoo:

I think Amazon has them for $32 right now if you order them together. I think I'm ordering a few sets from them for gifts this year. I'd rather do the Amazon thing than the frightening Black Friday thing. Diss, do you know if Best Buy will have the Black Friday prices on the website? Some stores do that...

[dissention]

My deepest apologies. I've watched some episodes, but I always forget that it's on. That and "Scrubs" are two of the best sitcoms that have been on TV in years. I'm hoping the second season of "Scrubs" will be on sale Friday, too.

I think Amazon has them for $32 right now if you order them together. I think I'm ordering a few sets from them for gifts this year. I'd rather do the Amazon thing than the frightening Black Friday thing.

I'm going to Circuit City to begin with, so I was just going to pick them up there and get the extra ten percent off by price matching them. :laugh:

Diss, do you know if Best Buy will have the Black Friday prices on the website? Some stores do that...

Keep checking this site, it lists every Black Friday sale item that's also listed online at the sale price, and it's regularly updated:

[hayley]

I know Firefly was just reeeeally cheap at Deep Discount DVD, but they sold out and it's on major back order.

You can normally get Firefly for around $30, I don't know if it'll be on sale much this Christmas. But you need to get it no matter what anyways ;)

[Lee]

I bought myself an iPod for Christmas, so iPod accessories would be nice. (I'm still waiting for an FM transmitter that I preordered from the manufacturer a month ago.) I think people may get me iTunes gift certificates since they know I have an iPod. (No, I'm not the quiet type anymore. :lol: ) I have put CDs & DVDs on a list to my husband. I usually make out pretty good since my birthday is in January close to Christmas, so sometimes what I don't get for Christmas, I get for my birthday :nod: or if I get money for my birthday, I'll just buy what I didn't get & wanted for Christmas.

I actually shed a tear when I heard it had been cancelled. Diss really needs to sit down and watch an entire season of this show... it's the best thing on TV right now.

Huh?! :confused: Did they really cancel it this time? It's one of the few good shows left on TV...

I guess not officially... but it was pulled from the schedule and the amount of episodes ordered was cut in half.

[stargazer99]

That sucks! :distress:

I know it's been in danger of being cancelled from the beginning, due to low ratings. I honestly don't understand why it's had such a hard time finding viewers. It's the best comedy to come around in a long time, IMO. And with all the other crap on the air (particularly on FOX!), it's such a shame that this show didn't make it.

[sparky]

You know, I just thought of something regarding the whole debate about gift cards as the preferred gift from ill equipped gift buying relatives.

I had this hysterical, foul mouthed aunt. Aunt Dorothy. And she was notoriously stingy. She was the queen of giving gifts to people that were actually things that had been sitting in her house for years and she was tired of. It became a bit of a joke in our family when I was about ten. That was the point at which I was old enough that I started getting hand me down stuff from her rather than cool things like Spirographs and Lincoln Logs.

So, later on, in my late twenties or early thirties, she gave me two things that really threw me for a loop : A pair of fingernail clippers and a pen. The pen was in a faded naugahyde type sleeve with an inkstain on it. I thought both gifts extremely odd. Who wants a used pair of nail clippers ? Why the pencase with the stain on it ? Nonetheless, I put them in a drawer with a smirk and didn't think much about it. I thanked her profusely as always and that was that.

I ran across them about 4 or 5 years ago when I moved last. My aunt died in 1998. When I found those stupid things, I hooted like I had laid an egg. I had a great laugh, and shed a tear or two. Then I cleaned the damned clippers with alcohol and a teeny tiny brush and went out and tracked down refills for the ink pen which turned out to be a rather nice circa 1960's Cross Pen. I am sure it belonged to my uncle. I now use it to sign all my important documents, and I use the clippers all the time. I even had them sharpened. And when I clip my nails too short or otherwise misuse the clippers, I holler "Sonofabitch Frank!" which my Aunt was known for exclaiming once during a Thanksgiving dinner. Then I laugh like a crazy man and remember my kooky Aunt.

So the moral of the story is that maybe those crappy gifts from relatives aren't always so crappy after all.

[macfanken]

I have a wish but I'm starting to think it will only come true in a perfect world. :(

My mom keeps asking me for a Christmas list, but I really don't need anything... if my friends and family stay healthy and safe I'll be happy.... and a stable job situation would be nice too.

[StevieNicksEO17]

Well, first off it would be nice if the doctors could find out what the hell is wrong with my grandmother. If anything happens to her, my mother and the rest of the family will be a complete wreck. I don't want to see them go through that. It'll tear me to pieces.

Okay, on a lighter note...
A record player
Baton
Golden Girls Season 1 and 3
Lindsey's Soundstage
Behind the Mask
Cheers Season 5 and 6...

Ha, I think it's funny while most people are asking for an iPod, I'm asking for a record player!

I figure most of my family will give me money, as usual, so I'll pawn my iPod I have now and get an iPod Video...

And yes, giftcards are amazing... :)

I'd like a pair of pink fluffy slippers. :)

Omg :eek: That's what I got last year from my mother-in-law (plus a warm, pink, fluffy bathrobe that I LOOOOOVE) ;)

My pink slippers have butterflies and pixie dust on them! :laugh: No really, I'm serious. Pixie dust. It's crazy.

Lasik eye surgery and some veneers. :lol:

I like gift certificates. I've always maintained that the only way to be sure that you get what you want is to buy it for yourself - but it's better if you can buy it for yourself with someone else's money. :)

While I agree with that statement, I also agree with Diss, I mean, I kinda like getting stuff I would never buy for myself, that had thought put into it, and is unique to my personality. Does that make any sense? Of course people sometimes get it wrong, but that's what return/exchange is for. At least someone tried and was thinking about me...that's what counts.

I kinda like getting stuff I would never buy for myself, that had thought put into it, and is unique to my personality.

There's one little hitch to this idea...

The only things that I would never buy for myself, I wouldn't buy because either:

a) I don't want them.

b) They cost too damn much money. (And if any of my friends buy anything that falls into this second category, they're likely to piss me off because I don't want them spending that kind of cash.)

I know I'm probably sounding like a materialistic bitch (which may not be too far from the truth) but in actual fact, I don't much like receiving gifts at all. Giving them on the other hand...

The presents are already piling up by my fireplace, all wrapped in pretty paper and bows. :D

That is so sweet. I love giving presents too. My packages from Target just keep arriving. :D I actually dreamed about wrapping last night! :lol:

On edit: For Christmas there are lots of books and DVDs that I want. Even more-so, at the risk of sounding trite, I would like to see an end to the war and I'm with Homie on the cure for cancer. Peace and good health to all.

I want SNOW and lots of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:]

Really? My husband gave me a spa package for my birthday this year and it was DIVINE! That's something I would never buy for myself not necessarily because it was too much money, but because I don't normally binge on the spa you know? It was really sweet of him...he got a great bonus for that one :eek::laugh:.

Oh yes, I've been given those a few times, and I LOVE them! I can't afford to get massages or manicures very often, so I love when I get a spa certificate, so I can pamper myself.

You two ladies just gave me a great idea for my roommate's birthday gift! Perhaps a pedi or a mani or both? :)

If you're not sure where to go, I'd reccommend using spawish.com and getting a gift certificate through them. Your roommate will then have the choice to go to whatever spa she would like as most gift certificates are accepted at many locations. In fact, you can even pull up a list of where they're accepted before going in to redeem.

I can't believe i'm actually about to say this (and i'm sure i'll regret it later) but I cannot wait until I go back to work in December and am tortured by people wanting to purchase them :laugh:

[dissention]

I cannot believe you haven't seen it. You will love it. And if you do not, then you are an infidel, and part of the problem. :woohoo:

I think Amazon has them for $32 right now if you order them together. I think I'm ordering a few sets from them for gifts this year. I'd rather do the Amazon thing than the frightening Black Friday thing. Diss, do you know if Best Buy will have the Black Friday prices on the website? Some stores do that...

Oh, Hayley. I have a new addiction. That show is ****ing brilliant. I watched almost the entire first disc of season one this afternoon and my cheeks are killing me from laughing so hard. Gob and Lucille especially put me into hysterics. I curse myself for missing out on it so much. -_-

How did you miss the last two seasons?! Glad you've finally discovered it! I'm stopping by Circuit City this afternoon to pick up Season 2.

I did too Ken...you were right it was on sale! :nod:

Season One is my fav. however!

LUCILLE 2 FOREVER!

I've caught a few episodes here and there, but I just kept forgetting it was on. A damned shame because it kicks ass. Will Arnett makes me pee myself. The episode where he chipped his tooth on a candy apple is one of my favorites so far. And Jessica Walter is something else.
