Gift cards - that's what I've had to resort to.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because you can't get nothing and you don't want stuff from ThinkGeek. Dang it.

ISTG, people, next year I'm doing the cards and all the Christmas stuff in AUGUST. I can't deal.
I finished shopping early this year and I have to say it is annoying me. I can't stop looking and adding little things here and there for the kids (they don't need MORE). I'm also going a bit nuts waiting for them to open their presents. I'm tired of keeping the secrets. Heck, I even bought K-Bug's birthday present already and that is over 3 months away. Gahhhhhhhhh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Socks, gift cards, and a goat from Heifer.

Socks, gift cards, and a goat from Heifer.
The trifecta of perfect gifts for the hard-to-buy for.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Also, when someone asks you what you want for Christmas/birthday/whatever, (and someone is me and you is my sister), and you say, oh, I don't want anything! or oh, I don't care, anything is fine... that's not actually helpful, okay?
Next year my bro and SiL get a goat from Heifer. Because they do the "I don't know...anything I want I just go ahead and buy...just get me whatever" thing. And so then I do get them whatever, and then feel like my love/worth as a sister is measured in the fact that I bought my bro a water bottle with Cthulhu on it instead of, I don't know, an iPad.
