Is the economy stimulated yet? (XMas Shopping thread)

FortyTwo

TO THE MALL!




CONSUME SHEEP! CONSUME!


I am starting my XMas shopping this weekend and I come to you for help.

Want to buy the lady a region free DVD player as well as Darkplace on DVD.

Any tips for that?

What are your shopping plans?

Sara Lynn

I am going Christmas shopping today. I don't want to wait outside in the cold for the bus, but it is what I must do.

Butters

My economy could use a little stimulation.

I hear that, I am trying to do most of my shopping on my neighborhood's shops.

YAY THINGS I CAN WALK TO!

That Dave Fella

I sent my sister shopping.

I am the worst at christmas shopping.

Fiz

I was so excited about shopping for XMas that I pushed this guy down and just stepped all over him. FUCK YEAH GONNA GET THAT ZUNE

Then my kid told me he wants an iPod touch. What have I done?

Muggins

My dick could use a little stimulation

oh wait


Are we supposed to be subtle?

I did all my shopping in November from Amazon. Now I'm just picking up bits and pieces as I remember things I forgot.

Christmas shopping is so convienient when it's all delivered direct to your door, so you just unpack and wrap.

lostwords

my family is pretty easy to shop for, we don't like surprises. my mom wants cash, my dad wants redskins tickets, and my sister wants some dumb perfume. all done. toot toot.

tomorrow, i am buying myself dark knight and the newly released complete collection of the wire, even though i have season 1 and 4 already. ho hum

Javen

I have no clue what to buy anyone

well that tax return is about 1000, and I had 1100 saved up for something else but I decided to give my family the best xmas ever its been rough for us this past year.

Dead Legend

My niece wants a DS, so I'm giving her mine.

That's pretty much the best Christmas shopping I've done in a while.

scarlet st.

I ended up buying a bunch of stuff at the bookstore I work at on employee appreciation day. Lazy, possibly. Good for my wallet, absolutely.

Bloods End

I'm going to do all my shopping at the dildo emporium.

Captain K

hey BloodyRoar, did I ever mention that I'm your long-lost brother

Redeemer

I did all my christmas shopping online

I get mildly agoraphobic around this time of the year

What does cashmere have to do with online shopping?

I'll probably buy my brother a HDTV. He has been playing his 360 on a 19" old school tv. Besides, his wife is expecting and NO child should be raised viewing anything BUT HD.

I'm with you on this, even the grocery store is more crowded at this time of year

hooray for amazon and early morning shopping

Hunter

The only one in my family not getting cut back on Christmas shopping is my son. He's an only child, and well, christmas is for kids. Also, it makes dad look badass.

Everyone in the family is getting hit by the hard economy. I still bought my wife a nice present though, an iPod nano something or other with tons of memory and some music for it. I must also protect my marriage and source of nookie.

CrossBuster

I scored Rock Band for $80.

Take that, recession!

Daric

I'm not really getting anything for Christmas. I accidentally found my gifts yesterday. Yay, parents, you got me some frames for these posters I own. Good job, you know me so well.

I'm going to buy myself a 32" LCD TV at the beginning of January.

Leli

I got a ring.

CrossBuster

As far as big Christmas presents go, my parents are paying for my bar exam review course.

Not the most exciting present in the world, but I definitely need it, and couldn't afford it on my own, so I'm not complaining.

Javen

I'm actually sitting pretty right now since my income has yet to be influenced by the economy at all and yet everything else is cheaper!

Javen

Also I think my mother is paying for my tattoo. I think she wants to keep it a secret but jesus christ I want it done now why do I have to wait three weeks

Butters

It's absolutely infuriating when you get your family good gifts and they give you crappy ones. I remember one year I was like 21 or 22 and still spent like $700 on Christmas presents for 4 people in my family, a secret santa, and a girlfriend. Not one gave me anything that I asked for and my amazon list went untouched.

Cold Salmon and Hatred

Goin to Florida instead of having christmas this year, which is awesome

Secret Satans is pretty much my christmas

Gafoto

I have 40 dollars to survive on until I graduate on the 19th. Christmas hasn't even entered my brain.

Usagi

I mostly have no idea what to get people

at this point I'm just hoping for some sort of intervention where they tell me exactly what they want

CrackedLens

ive bought 2 nintendo DS's in the past 2 weeks

neither of them are for me

Usagi

that hardly seems fair, Cracked

CrackedLens

yeah no shit

during the buying though, i have dropped so many hints that that is what i want

I always get a present for my brother and he always says, "What.. you got me something? oh... I didn't get you anything"

Usagi

yeah, I dropped a bunch of hints that I'd like some new sailing stuff, but I have a feeling Scott's going to buy himself a new TV
