    Buying: I'm incredibly uncreative, so it usually ends up in Whiskey for the male relatives, beauty ish and home decor for the female ones.

    Ask: Money, that I then mainly put into crypto and clothes.

    The crypto stuff seems way over my head. Think I'm getting old.


    Considering one of these iRobot Braava jet moppers/sweepers for my mom. A

    No reason to put politics into a Christmas thread.

    I just asked for Astros Championship gear. But buying for my son this year was really fun. I got him the items below:

    I'm familiar with the roomba, similar thing, but they are good for maintenance sweeping.

    USB/phone chargers, Tactical flashlight, Money clip knife are a few things on the list

    Parents have a roomba. Roomba's are good for maintenance sweeping like Donkey said. Great on hardwood, OK on carpet. But you should still expect to use the more powerful manual vac on carpet every once in a while because Roombas are not that powerful.

    My mom has tile and wood floors. It would be for her since she's getting too old to do those things very much.

    I guess the fact that this iRobot can sweep and mop is what's attractive about it.

    That's perfect then. Only thing to remember to do is block entryways with something otherwise your Roomba will just wander out of whatever room you started with and end up on the other side of the house.

    Me? Nothing. I can't think of anything that I need. It's been a great year. I got married, finished paying off student loans...and got a new job (career) that relocated me to Austin.....I'm ecstatic to be out of sales and the grueling hours, and in IT...where I'll be using Watson on a daily basis. :)

    Got the wife a smart watch and gift cards....
