Even for those who don't celebrate x-mas, I think this site is awesome for whatever gifts you want to give! I thought I should share.

hehe good idea ^^
I bought my girlfriend a young oak tree last year which we planted together... but i haven't though of anything yet this year =[
i think its always good to make T-shirts, you just need a stencil and some spray paint and use your imagination, you can get some cool wording and effects, work well as gifts i think.

I definitely like how they categorize. I just hate shopping. Especially for in-laws. We're doing secret santa. Fortunately I got my father in law who is a pothead. I'll get him some sweet Paraphernalia. I'm making home-made hard cider for everyone this year. Or maybe some Apple-Jack - which is basically just distilled apple cider. Much stronger so we can all get through Christmas without a melt-down.

I've seen that site before, and the most interesting things come from the Cloud 9 Living and Signature Days(there's a few other sites like these). They have all sorts of wacky stuff for rich people to do, like fly in a WWII fighter training plane (http://www.cloud9living.com/experience.php?exp=565), or play with bulldozers for $400 (http://www.cloud9living.com/experience.php?exp=2141)
Full disclosure, I would totally do the fighter plane thing if I had the money.

Were it not $250, I'd totally get my kid this:
Make Your Own Monster (http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Make-My-Own-Monster-Custom-Design-Kit?ideaID=3156&prodID=146130)
He's always drawing creatures and critters... he'd LOVE that. But not for $250. Love FAO and everything they have, just hate the prices of exclusivity.

wow...250 to have someone take a drawing and reinterpret it into a stuffed animal.

Well... I have a sewing machine but have recently misplaced all my thread (that should tell you how often I use it... LOL!). I could probably do it myself and do a better job but I'd be so afraid I'd disappoint. It would depend upon the complexity of his design.
I just wanted to make some puppets recently for him... we had a power out and he created paper hand-puppets based on his favorite shows and he regaled us with "shows." But I have no idea where to begin and the patterns I found in the pattern book are way too complicated.

I just wanted to throw a recommendation out there... I just got my friend these rad martini glasses that you can pack ice around to keep them cold from http://www.swankmartini.com/ (http://www.swankmartini.com/) The package came in a week and they wrap it up and give you a card for free. :)
