Alright, I just got another gift in the mail today from an Aunt. Now, I appreciate the thought and everything. Honestly, I am very thankful that she thought of me, but if you knew this woman at all you'd realize that she's about as "with-it" as Michael Jackson. Add to that her gift-giving history which includes such classics as one Christmas the whole family getting identical blue sweatpants from Wal-Mart, and the mickey-mouse underwear I got when I was twelve . . . so realize that I'd just as soon pull off the card and re-gift it to someone I don't really care for. Oh, and she always buys everyone the same gift. Last year we got 4 copies of Bill O'Reily's book . . . I traded it in for a Greg Palast book But I had to open this year's gift just to find out what it was. I got . . . a "Watch Valet". I had no idea such a product existed . . . It's this foul-smelling, fake-leather box that has a space for you to put three watches. Again, I appreciate the thought so much, and she could've given me a flaming bag of dog crap and I'd appreciate the thought, but seriously, what the hell is this? A quick search on the internet shows that indeed this product is not unique, and there are ones that cost up to $150. But I mean . . . whose idea was it to come up with this thing . . . for guys . . . Unless I had 3 rolexes, I wouldn't have a need for this. It's like in Wayne's World when Wayne's girlfriend gives him a gun-rack. Factor in the fact that I don't even own a watch, and you see the similarity increase. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29529&item=2601593376">This product DOES exist on ebay however</a>, but I missed out on my chance to get it as the auction already ended. But hey, maybe if I put mine up on ebay, I too can redeem this box of mystery for $5. The one in the auction is the exact-same one that I have here . . .
Vengeance, maybe you should start specifying your gift certificates or just ask for cash, I did that this year as I was tired of gift certificates to stores I never use.
Actually DVauthrin, I think she just walks through a store and picks up the cheapest thing she can find And that explains last year's "travel manicure set" that I saw at TJ Maxx for $1.99 . . . No matter, my lava lamp is warming up Coolest gift in years!
Dude, aren't lava lamps the pimpest thing ever? I bought one for my room when my dad and I moved into our new rent-house this past summer, and I can't wait to take it with me to college to put in my dorm room now that I have a private one... Lava lamps rule
SCF -- you are dead-on!!! I'm thinking about <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/lights/322b/">getting one of these too</a>. I saw them at Wal-Mart for something like $19. The only thing that sucks about the lava lamp is that it takes a few hours before it begins its lava-action. I've had it on here for just over an hour and it's still in the warming-up/wax-melting phase. Getting a little lava-action going right now . . . I'm gonna go buy another lava lamp or two for my office!!
A bunch of clothes including 2 long-sleeved Old Navy t-shirts plus some Dockers pants, a new pair of Timberland dress shoes for work and church, "The Head on the Door" by the Cure (CD), "Under a Blood Red Sky" by U2 (CD), and "The Joshua Tree" by U2 (CD).
I take back my earlier statement. My parents placed a large wad of cash in my stocking this year. So I really didn't get "nothing" However, all that money will go into savings so I can pay bills for another month, naturally.
-Ghost Recon--ps2 from momma santa -Clone Wars--ps2 from momma santa -Nike duffle bag from kids -Dockers hiking shoes from kids -Tommy Hilfiger sweater from parents -scrapbook pictures of my son from ex -BEST GIFT!!! The absolute joy of seeing my son's eyes open WIDE when he saw the Eliminator power wheels car!!!
