christmas gifts

DodgersBride

I like to spoil my nephews for Christmas and birthdays and this is what they want this year. I can't get one and not the other.

I think I'm going to get FI this t-shirt:

Because it's awesome, and he'll appreciate it.

Question: I wanted to get one of these for my brother, and some ironic pins and tshirts. He is a very strange teenage boy (indie artsy scenester type of kid) and I think he would like it but im not sure if he will get the shiit made fun of him more so than he already does. Thoughts??

Last year I went to Target on black Friday. Oh.My.God. I thought I was going to have to stab some people! I couldn't even make it into the electronics department! People were setting TV's in strollers and making their 3yr old run with them through Target at 5AM.

This year I am coming prepared, dressed ready for war. The toy section was crazy too. I have a feeling I will be yelling at people "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAMN BARBIE YOU HOAR". Oh yes, I see it now.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: christmas gifts : Ugh, my friend went last year.  At midnight, the cars were backed up way back by the Sterling Forest/Ringwood/West Milford exit.   It was crazy. ETA: I do love Black Friday shopping, but I plan it out so that I hit stores in the lull between the early, early shoppers and the afternoon people.  Also, I love Target Christmas shopping!

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. I have never went shopping at all on black friday because honestly, I think I'd be in jail for assault.

[QUOTE]Anna, I've heard DC is fun for honeymoons, just saying... I have no clue what to get Scott's family, as usual. I get frustrated getting them things. I hate doing generic stupid crap, but the couple times I've done personal things I feel like they didn't really like it so yeah, boo.

I think I've missed the boat on honeymooning.  I guess it's just a vacation now.

Yeah, but it'll be over a year.  I guess it'd be an anniversary trip when we finally are able to.  Probably not for years since we are about to be very, very, very broke.  ;)

We're about to be very broke because we are getting ready to build and open a restaurant.  Terribly exciting but we will be broke for quite a while.  It's a happy kinda sad  :)

A restaurant/Sports bar.  This city really needs one.  We'll have an excessive number of beer on tap and a huge frozen drink bar, including wine slush.  yum!

I would love to open a restaurant of some kind, simply because my city is really lacking on NON chain restaurants, but I dont know the first thing about it so it would never be an option. I think thats awesome youre jumping in!

Lee is getting a canvas print of his beloved dog, who we had to put to sleep in March.  It's from CanvasPop, where they take your photo and make a stretched canvas print.  Here's the original photo:

That's our city too.  The mom & pop owned places have all been edged out by Champps, Applebees, Chilis, Ruby Tuesday, and Red Lobster.  That's about all the type of restaurants we have.

Les, is that an aussie? What a gorgeous pup. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks, Jas.  Yes, she's an Aussie.  She was DH's beloved companion and confidant for almost 16 years.  She was the best dog ever.
