Heartfelt Christmas gifts as recommended by deranged strangers
« on: November 04, 2010, 12:07:59 PM »

Hi folks,

So I hate buying presents for my family.  I have to buy for too many people with fucked up  (or no) interests.  I'm fairly broke.  They will all buy me shit I don't want, guaranteed.  So give me gift ideas to steal, and perhaps I can do the same for you.

Things on my list so far:

His 'n' hers Nerf guns.
Alcohol
Bacon flavoured lip balm
Homemade wheat bags.  (Suggestions for what to make them look like welcome)

I have an age range from 11 to 70. All suggestions ridiculed, but ultimately welcome.  Thanks.

Dear god, it's already that time of year.

I suggest something really really generic. If they're all family you can't be accused of favourtism or other such thing if you get them all the same thing. Make all of them christmas decorations of some description (like, something to hang on the tree) you can get cheap make it yourself kits at a place like the reject shop. Write something nice on the card and that's that...?

I supposed gift-wrapped dog poo is out of the question?

Dad could clean his ears with the chopstick, so that could be a winner.

I might get my sister some of those reusable sandwich pouches.  Boring and useful, and she is one of those things.

As far as getting them all the same thing, they are just too divergent.  While the ornament might be okay for the bible bashing breeder (as long as it contains no graven images or Santa images) it isn't really going to excite the meathead alco-hermit.

Shoot, I just realised by responding to this thread, I have inadvertently outed myself as a 'deranged stranger'!

I've always known I was a deranged stranger.  8-)

Nerf guns for the oldies and super-soakers for the kids.  It will be summer, after all.

Or, if you're really broke, water-pistols for all.  You can get top water pistols disguised as cameras or crocodiles, ones that shoot in unexpected directions (personally I highly recommend those) or, for the more vicious members of your family, spud guns.

Make it a Western-style Christmas - guns for all!

I was in... Target or BigW the other day I forget which one and they had these like DIY cocktail things and Strawberry Daiquiri icy pole makers and other things. And they were really cheap. My friends I don't really like a so getting those for Christmas. Although they were pretty cool actually. But they can BYO, not going that far.

Ha ha, oh I completely forgot about that! You are forgiven. And no I can't remember what the word was. I must have already put it to good use and forgot about it. :P
