What are you going to give others on Christmas? by Vilkku on 12-12-2006 at 01:43 PM

Right, enough with the "OMG I'LL GET A PS3" stuff in threads that focus on what YOU want. Now it's time to tell you what you have bought for your friends and relatives for Christmas. Why have you bought that (something special about it, something that the person needs)?

I'm usually pretty good with coming up with stuff to give, but this year I'm not sure. I kinda know what I'm going to give to my grandmother, but I'd like to give something else aswell (the first thing is a skincare product that I've bought the last few years, she know I will give it, it's a tradition).
My dad needs a computer upgrade, but I can't really afford that. I could buy just one component, but the computer is so old that anything fairly new wouldn't go in it without upgrading something else aswell.
For my mom I'm most likely buying a new clock radio, the old one is old and it doesn't work that well.
I'll need to think on the rest, I like when people recieve gifts they didn't expect at all.

Now, tell us about your presents! :D

I will probably give others some random stuffs depending on how close I am with them...
Doesn't really matter what you give, it's the thoughts that count.

RE: What are you going to give others on Christmas? by Rolando on 12-13-2006 at 01:28 AM

We (me and my two sisters) got my dad one of those montblanc pens that he likes and we already got him a laptop. (each paid 1/3rd)

And we got our mom a laptop too, but better than my dad's since she actually knows how to use it :cheesy:! (each paid 1/3rd)

I don't usually get my sisters anything... but I guess I could buy 'em something, don't know what tho.


And to other members of the family (uncles.., aunts..); we give them presents as a family... since I can't afford giving that many presents, I dont work. We bought most of their presents at Circuit city on Black Friday too.. (ipods, cameras.. and the ps3 on amazon.co.uk)

Sleeping outside Circuit City on Black Friday paid off! We got everyone's presents and we paid like half the price :cheesy:


RE: What are you going to give others on Christmas? by Nagamasa on 12-13-2006 at 01:35 AM

Bah, I'm giving her half the money for the car... Around 7,000 USD, I think.

I had to sell my apartment for that. :-/

That means I'll finally be able to drive, when we get the car, on January/February! :D
