The firm gave everyone an iPod shuffle for Christmas - should I use it myself or regift that shit to my wife and call it a year for Christmas shopping?

Anything to get out of shopping, IMO - of course IF she'll like it. I don't think I'm a grinch, as I love the time with friends and family around the holidays...but if it were up to me I would get no gifts in return for not having to go shopping for gifts.

Amen, brother. I think that a material percentage of America's economy is based on Christmas gifts, half of which nobody wants or needs. I'd rather just have get togethers, everyone brings some high end booze instead of gifts, and we get loaded on the good stuff. Get presents for the kids obviously, but once you're old enough to drink, let's just make it liquid gifts. |

I asked people to donate to charities in my name but they insist on buying me more shit. I don't want more shit. I've got all the shit I need. I want some poor kid to have a coat and shoes.
Guess I'll have to load up the truck and make another run to Goodwill. Fuck it, I'll get it done one way or another.
(Yes, as evil as I may appear, my heart, at its core, is good.)

Not to threadjack but it's the same topic.
The wife and I gave each other a $100 limit this year since we have twins scheduled to arrive 4 weeks after Christmas and I have no idea what the fuck to get her any thoughts?

Well, given those constraints, I would buy her as many cases of Coors as you can with a hundred and use the change to buy a Hawkeye coozy to keep them cool while you're tossin' 'em back. Then, print up 10 coupons that allow her to go out on girl's night or whatever crap where you'll take care of the pups while she's out whoring around or whatever it is that gal's do. She'll be so taken by the gesture that she'll forget that you have 7 cases of ice cold Coors sitting out in the garage with your name on them. You're in a pickle because you can't get clothes and you can't afford any jewelry or nice electronics. You're pretty much limited to books, DVDs or a stocking cap. Good luck. |

Oh yeah, to update my situation - the firm had its name engraved on the clip so I can't regift it.

First, get some of this: www.lansinoh.com/products/hpa-lanolinNot a joke, a few tubes of this in her stocking will pay off handsomely in a month. |
