Hard to buy for?

Do you have a person who is really hard to buy for? I think everyone does. Let's pool together ideas and I bet we can get us all covered. I remember we did this last year and Netflix came up. I think that's what I'm going to get my dad this year along with this fun toy idea.

Wow, OL, that shooter is cool.:clap_1: Do you think my sister would ever speak to me again if I bought that for her 10 y/o son?

SWEET!!!!!!!!! I know watt I'm getting myself now!!!

wonder if we could load that thing with jello shots ​

I have a 10 year old boy and I think it's great..outside only of course!!! Can you imagine the little marshmallows that would most definetly get stomped into the carpet?

If we could, I would buy one. I don't like marshmallows....

That marshmallow shooter is great.
I got this for both my brother (age 47) as well as my husband's nephew (age 8.)
Remote Control Tarantula
The leg action is startlingly realistic. (Years ago, I gave my bro a real tarantula and he had her for many years before she finally went to that great spiderhole in the sky.)

The guys at work love the shooter. They all want one now.

I've been looking at www.gifts.com and they have some great ideas on there!

Wow, there are some great ideas there. I have never heard of this one it looks cool. iKaraoke I just bought my daughter an fm remote so she can listen to the radio on hers. I might get this too.

Thanks so much for this link. It has lots of ideas. I'm having a very hard time finding something for my 16 yo son, other than clothes. On this site you can narrow gift ideas down depending on personality traits. I've found a few things I would never have thought of or even knew about. Like software to help with music composition for an aspiring musician. Or cool light fixtures, lamps, etc., for a teens room.

Olive, I too have found this site useful. It really takes the gift-giver to another level--and not necessarily a more expensive one. Thank you very much!

hard to buy for ? do what i do - give money !

Please put me on YOUR list!

Once we started having children, my siblings and I stopped exchanging gifts and just bought for the kids. But once the kids got to a certain age, they were so picky that we were forced to ask their parents for specific gift suggestions. However, it soon became apparent that the kids didn't appreciate the gifts because they knew that they'd get them one way or another, either from us or their parents. Also, sometimes we'd miscommunicate, and the kids would get duplicates.

So I started giving gift cards. However, I discovered that my nephews weren't even using the gift cards I gave them -- they were letting them expire!. The money meant nothing to them because they get everything they want from their parents. So I have announced that we're not exchanging gifts this year. It's really sad that it has come to this, but we all are just over-indulged.

One exception: I know that college students and young adults just starting out on their own *really* appreciate cash. But my nephews aren't at that stage yet, so I don't expect anyone to give my college student a gift.

I always give my Mom a gift (she likes clothes) just because she's from a different generation that is not spoiled rotten like my generation and our children.

As far as friends go, we all have all of the "stuff" we need, so my daughter and I make a homemade food gifts for them.

My husband and I have too much stuff, so we just buy each other some token gift to put under the tree. The TV in the master bathroom died, so we'll buy a flat panel (but we would have bought that anyhow, Christmas or not). Our daughter has a few items on her list that we'll get her, but basically we've scaled down our Christmas shopping.

Gifts are not what it's all about, although I did enjoy giving to the children when they were smaller and had that sparkle of anticipation in their eyes. There are so many needy people that I've decided if I have the urge to spend money at Christmas, I'll donate to a charity.

Grayt site. :clap_1: I found a Christmas Story Lamp stocking as a goof gift. Was considering the lamp leg since it is a family joke, but not as useful as the stocking and still get the same effect.
Thanks!

This may seem odd, but for my nephew it is so appropriate. I am getting a home breathilizer(pretty certain I misspelled that). He is quite the young guy and drinks often, so it might help or be good for a laugh. His sister agreed that it is a good idea, so maybe I won't offend the rest of the family.
