Post your Christmas gift ideas here.
A fun and inexpensive gift is a customized wallet from Dynomighty. I bought myself one earlier this year, and it was fun to design and to use.
Here's mine (with a little wear). It's a photo that I took last year on Easter Island. You can also print two or three photos on the inside of the wallet as well, but I got fancy and did a collage, so I won't confuse you by showing the inside. But the bottom line is that it's cheap, fun to make, and creative. I was also poking around on odditymall.com. Do NOT do a search on that site for "condiments". http://odditymall.com/ |

My wife and I have started something I like over the past couple of years. We just buy something we like and then thank the other for the Christmas gift.

Obviously there is jewelry and designer handbags and that crap, but one less obvious one thing that is always appreciated by my wife is "things that help her get/keep/stay WARM".
Things that have gone over well in the past like: 1. Heated mattress pad for the bed (huge win for New England winters!) 2. nicer, warm slippers. 3. good coats. More expensive than what she would typically buy for herself. Not fur, but North Face or whatever. 4. (her request, I would never have thought of this) alpaca wool socks and a some kind of poncho type thing. Ordered the stuff from, errr, Peru? Someplace in South America. Somewhat pricey, but not completely ridiculous. My wife is pretty practical, so what ends up happening is special occassions are opportunities to buy her something that she wants, is useful, but she wouldn't spend the money on herself for.

I guess I'm only used to seeing mine and maybe I'll notice a females if they are painted all fancy. Mine look like horrible compared to yours. You could maybe be a hand model or something like George Costanza. |

Sure, but how many fauxes do they use in one of those things?

Depends on how much faux outrage exists.
