Christmas Shopping?

An odd gift but I've always loved astronomy... my kids bought me a star one year. It's not like I can do anything with it but it will carry my name forever. International Star Registry.

Another gift that is basically worthless (as most xmas gifts are).. There are many coin houses that will compile and place in an attractive display a set of US coins minted the year of your father's birth.

If he likes to read, an E reader of some sort can be a nice gift.

A free years membership to Android Forums is a great gift idea and fairly cheap. :)
 
That's a thought. Maybe an ereader with some books already bundled in . he's not very techy so we might have to do it for him. Another idea I had is one of those monthly food subscriptions but I'll have to see if there's any here.
 
I love hot sauces. One year one of my children gave a year's worth of hot sauce. I received two bottles a month. Was fun.
Another year she did the same thing with some cheese place. There are some fine cheese out there you don't find in your local market.
That same year the wife got jellies monthly. Was kind of fun and interesting.

I haven't done a darn thing yet. The wife does all the shopping for kids and grandones. All I have to do is get her something. Do you think another ironing board will suffice?

And she'll probably give you the Iron...upside the head! :D

Wouldn't be the first time. :eek:

I do struggle every year to find the right thing to gift her with. We've fortunately shared many xmas' together. I'm pretty short on good/acceptable ideas that I haven't used before.

I would love a year of varying hot sauces to try.

Finished shopping already a few weeks ago. I like to get it out of the way early, obviously lol.

That pretty much sums it up. Baseball season is something you look forward to and savor, Christmas is something you get out of the way. ;)
 
I have finished my shopping already and I am so glad that it is over!
Though I must admit, thinking of what to buy, buying loads of stuff, not having to feel guilty later is quite fun
