For us lazy men...

Now i dont know about you, but i hate shopping for other people...
and this time of the year, we need to buy presents..

now, i could buy online...or ask her sister to buy it for her, but i still need an idea of what to get her!!

so, this thread will be for all of us lazy fucks (or men as my wife puts it) to list ideas, cheap or not..so we can help each other out. Maybe even sites online???

how about....


For Spouse:
* ballon ride - not too pricey, but could be romantic
* get your kids to make something? cheap and theyll love it regardless


For kids:
* any toy that makes a noise
* water guns

Funny you should bring this up today, did my shopping online today.

My girl wanted a pair of camouflage pants, went to http://www.armysurplusworld.com/ found just what she wanted, plus a bit more and never had to leave the comfort of my office

For my boys i'm kooking them up with their own computer i had an old tower and asked around and got all the other parts (monitor, keyboard ,mouse ETC) for free only cost me $15.00 for a pair of cheap speakers from Wal-Mart and their gonna love it

We have "secret Santa's" at my inlaws. I drew my 18 year old nephew. He's into rock climbing... but damn.. that stuff is expensive. I HATE dragging out worrying about it even more though....probably just have to spend some bucks on the lad....he's cool...good kid.



@'Tino... how about the Amazon (or something...restaurant??) gift certificate?

thats fucking awesome!!

wish my wife was that simple, shes into the whole high heels, lipstick, jewellery, 5 star dining type





* now you see why i have money problems

I did the "secret santa" many times in the past- i always got jacked on how much we spent compared to how much "they" spent---so i dont play that game no more. Here is your cash and be happy---now where is my ps3 and Wii bitch!

There was a link here for a second...some Christmas store, I think....then it was gone.

what i always found best was give her a card, with a date and time in it, and a price...dont ell her what for until she asks, and its to take her shopping, no questions asked, at her favorite store...has worked for me before

I would never think your wife didn't think she wasn't beautiful, we all want our ladies to think they are beautiful and look their best
