Have you figured out your Christmas gift dilemna for Phil?

No

That's why I wanted to go shopping today. Although there has been a slight change. The budget has been raised to $75 (because he came up with something for me but apparently it as more than $50)

So I could do that Xbox 360 Live adaptor that I was talking about but now I'm questioning that cause then he only gets one thing..

So I don't know.

Well - that's good about raising the budget. 

With $50 - did you think you'd be able to get more than one thing out of that?  I think he'd rather get one thing that he really wants, as opposed to a couple of things he may not want as much.

No I didn't think I'd be able to get more than one thing but I figured I'd at least have the excuse (to tell myself ;p) that $50 was the reason why there was only one gift.

Ha - good point.  I say go with the Xbox Live thing. Maybe you can also make him something, be creative! 

Just as something else - maybe you can do those 'coupons' - like he gets to pull one a week for so long - maybe one is make him dinner of his choice, give him a massage, play an Xbox game with him, etc, etc.  It's free and it'll take you up to 2 gifts.

That's a good idea, and in 6+ years I've never  done the coupon thing before.

I think I just got a good idea! I need to check a near by game stop to be sure though.. WOO!

Yay for good ideas!  Hope it works out!
