I'm doing it the smart way. Take all credit cards away from wife person. Issue wife person a set amount of dollars to purchase all gifts with. Give wife person keys to car. Tell wife person to go forth, be merry, and buy gifts for everyone.
Park my ass in front of tv, watch football, and drink beer.
Buy a Virgin Mobile prepaid cell phone. It's the best Chrismahanukwanzakah gift ever!

Reminds me of when I was in Iraq back in 90'. My grandma would send me care packages full of homemage cookies and chocolate and peanut butter fudge. All the way from Arizona to Iraq and those treats were still moist. I had to hide in my tank and seal the hatches just so I could get first dibs on them. Grandpa always sent a small bottle of Crown Royal tucked away carefully in the middle. :D

Me too? :D
I am about half done with my shopping. Santa's just about finished and all that I have left is Erik and the tards I call my family.

I'd forward an address but I doubt fresh cookies like transatlantic flights that much :(
Then again I could recipriocate with any bottlecaps and labels I may have.....
i only got one address pm....

All the kidlets have been shopped for..including Godchildren :D
Now's the tough part....adults! :(
Haven't even started. I'm trying to maintain my unbroken string of panic Christmas Eve shopping. :D
I'll probably do a ton online, but one thing is bugging me. The wife tells me she want pajamas, since she's lost a lot of weight and hers no longer fit (pajamas, folks, like flannel - not sexy).
That's fine, but it seems so...pedestrian. I need to figure out something to get her in addition to the pj's that still keeps me at or near oyur agreed $100 limit.

Well, you should know. sure, it's not really that cold, but when the bod gets used to 100+ then December/January roll around and gets down to 50-60 overnight, then it's cold. I remember using our parka's a few times. We didn't really need them, it just felt cold compared to what we had all become used to. That was only when we had to actually get off our tanks and walk around. Most of the time I was on guard I got to sit my ass in the commander's cupola (privilage of being a Sergeant) with a pair of binoc's (not that I could fucking see anything :rolleyes: ) and make my driver fire her up every couple hours then make him run the heater a half hour or so.

Are you telling me that you, or anyone else, never had someone back home slip you a small sized drink in the next care package?

Nope. I got mine off of the 'Freedom Bird' DC-10's. Ever see Passenger 57 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105104/)? That elevator is real...and that's where they store the booze. :grinyes:

What about a really nice bath kit and then she can get into her jammies after a relaxing bath? Or maybe get a certificate for a half hour massage? Maybe some new slippers?
That is all I can think of right now.
hmmm...$100 limit...after looking at todays reciepts, i just might try that next year.
which reminds me, i think the cards might be cool enough to put back in my wallet...

OK, well, you can get nice looking flannel PJs at WalMart here for like $11 so I'd assume they'd be cheaper there...a few pairs of those will leave most of your budget open for something else...
How bout hitting a lingerie shop, and getting her a couple pair of flannels, and some lovely thick luxurious slippers and a nice fleecy robe, a book to take to bed in the jammies...you know what I'm getting at...the gift of luxury and quality and pampering.
How about a foot bath??
mmmmm I'd like one of them myself even
Oh, and as for my shopping...Chris is done...my brother I just need some little stocking stuffer and my mom I know what I'm getting just have to get it...have one thing for her...two more I need to get...one from me and one a splitsies with my bro (we'll prolly put it as a gift from the dog or something)
Good ideas, folks. Thanks. Unfortunately, I've done pretty much all of those at one time or another over the past year. She doesn't need slippers, or a robe, or bath stuff. I'll figure something out.

Hmm. Good point. Plus, it's the gift that keeps on givin'. :D

I think I was thinking after a C-section...2months I heard.
Oh, and I am one step closer to done my shopping now. I actually have SOMETHING for my mom's stocking...more is still needed but this thing is good, OH so good!
There are these icey chocolate squares things that she LOVES and they normally come in huge packages and she doesn't eat a lot of junk food and she gets headaches from chocolate (but still endulges every so oten) and I saw a little bag of them today so I bought them! :)

well...we do live in whole other counteris...maybe the difference is there.

They tell us longer cause the government pays for our health care and they don't wanna have to cover any further medical costs due to getting busy to soon after :D
After a total of 110 stitches from a C-Section

interested for Quite some time.
