Presents -.-
 
Was it a good idea to spend like 100 dollars on my parents for gifts? =/ hmmm... thas alot of money for me since i dont gots a job :P

Oh well, maybe its something i can throw back at them in an argument of some sort...

Sum Yung Guy 2002-12-18 10:08 AM

Depends on what you bought... If I spent $100 on them I would buy something that I could use too. Like a couple DVDs or something.

Titusfied 2002-12-18 11:27 AM

For Father's Day and my Dad's B-day, I dropped about $150 and picked him up the second and third season of The Sopranos!! The gift that keeps on giving!

Anyway, I usually spend at least $50 on gifts for each family member and a boat load more for the bitch... But then again I make plenty of loot...

im gonna give my parents some cookies, thats all.

DaFrigginDoctah 2002-12-18 12:55 PM

I dont even have 100$ to spend on everyone...
And I got 5 sisters (1 oldest, 3 are triplets, and a younger one)
But thank GOD most of them just asked me to burn them music cds.
It may be kind of cheap, but hell, Im poor so oh well and they like them.

Strider Fury 2002-12-18 01:27 PM

I'm going to give my parents some condoms, so that they don't make the same mistake like they did to me again. :p

Oridus 2002-12-18 01:42 PM

Only person that i spend over $50 on is this girl named gina. She's this girl that i like at work, (i broke up with my last girlfriend :()But anyways, she deserves something nice, so i got a gold chain necklace with a diamond christmas tree. it's gunna cost me $150, i need a few more bucks, about $5.... but it's all good.

EX-Mania 2002-12-18 01:58 PM

Well... i buy my parents nice things usually... like this year i bought my dad a gold zippo with his name engraved inside... got my sister a bath spa (she's 42 so she'll probably like it) got my mom a zippo too but this one has knives, toothpick, scissors, nail file and tweezers inside so i think she'll love it.. alot... because she loved her old pocket knife which was had everything minus the lighter, and now that this has the lighter she will go nuts =D..

and i'm buyin one of my nephews .... something illegal.. which i shouldnt but he's theone who got me to be less affraid of.. that illegal substance and now im givin him a nice... bunch of that substance as a thanks =D (he's my favorite nephew) and he's 18 so its legal for him to posess it in canada (god bless ameri... i mean... CANADA) =D!

"Aww, thanks for the beautiful necklace, you're so sweet!"
"Will you go out with me?"
"No, I'm sorry. I'm engaged..."

Actually, I haven't thought of anything for my family yet. I thought about picking up a few books as they like to read, but I haven't decided yet. I really don't have that much money in my pocket right now either.

Xenn 2002-12-18 02:47 PM

Now there's some things I can afford.

For Christmas, I got my Dad an unlimited access pass to the local race track (When there aren't races going on, you can take your car in and race in it assuming it's certified.... It's like $20 per time, but the unlimited gift pass was $500. Me and my sister split the cost) My Dad loves to go out there and floor it, it's pretty cool to go w/ him

I don't buy my cousins anything.. My parents buy some gift and stick all of our names on it.

LordZpider 2002-12-23 08:58 AM

I'm in my senior year of HS and guess what we're all poor, i had to go into my piggy bank to find some cash so i can get my girl something. end up getting her a gap journal book which was 10 bucks. my mom and sister will probably get some crap from bath and body works, since all chicks seem to dig that shit.

well i noticed alot of u are burning CD's. doesn't it loose meaning after the 2nd time u do it. I used to burn my ex CD's too, but i figured it just says... "oh fuck it, no money, HA!" so i stopped.

As for cousins, i have the same story as jizmo, my mom gives me money, tells me to drive to the mall and pick up shit, then we all stick our names on it, bad part is, i rarely get anything for christmas... :(
