Basically for the last 3 years i have bothered to buy Christmas Presents for my Parents and Sisters even though i really don't care they kind of want them.

So 2 years ago i got them some really rank arsed gifts.

I can't remember what i got the Folks and the eldest of my younger sisters but the two younger ones i got.....

Youngest:Yu Gi Oh Puzzle and a Magic 8 Ball
Middle:1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Go Fish-Go Fish Card game with Cat in the hat like characters.

Last year i got the youngest:
Pop up Pirate-She is 14.:p

Middle:No Doubt DVD
Oldest:William hung(US Idol Contestant) CD(She dislikes that crap) and some other Cds she liked.

Dad:Some rank arsed Humour books
Mom:A whole bunch of DVD's about early New Zealand History which i really wanted for myself.(she hasn't watched them):p


But now i need to ask you guys what should i get them for this year's Christmas?

LOL.

I'll try that i'll put a whole bunch of Bottles of Booze under the Tree(wrapped in Newspaper of course) and when they open them i'll give them something really crappy.

But what.......

Well, the 14 y/o can start with medicinal alcohol, or failing that, methylated spirits. Save the good stuff for those who know how to appreciate it.

The next eldest can have a $5 bottle of bum wine...

And the eldest can have some sort of cheap coffee liqeur.

Buy your dad a bottle of crappy port.

And buy your mother some cheap vodka, of the Karloff variety.

Why not just ask them what they'd want? Personally, it's easy buying for my wee brother - cds, dvds, case to keep them in, and he's happy as anything. Same with mum - stuff for her face, dvd of her favourite film this year, and, weirdly, she's after see-through plastic boxes for her shoes this year.

I assume it's her time of life.

Dad's hard to buy for, as he A) won't tell you what he wants B) doesn't do anything with his presents, often leaving them where thhey're opened till next christmas! Just buy him cheap stuff he's interested in: sweets, Monty Python, photography.

Reasonable philosophy of gifting!

You should be able to manage all that for under $50.

I didn't think your ideas were bad.

It seems kind of hard to find really cheesy gifts on the internet. They're too busy trying to sell the good, expensive ones. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

Little packets of carrot seeds. Tell them they need more carrots.

You? That must be interesting when everyone wants to watch something different. If it is you , you must feel a bit powerful. :D

I was planning on saying you can watch it and then they would, but then the chances of them watching it again are slim to none.:p
