Need help with my Christmas shopping...

  • power i
    We've bought my 13 year old son a paintball gun and all the crap that goes with. That's the only thing he's asked for and when I ask him what else, he says "I don't know". In addition we have gotten him a Red Sox jersey, sweat pants and shirt and Night at the Museum/2. I'm not looking to spend much more, but I need to get him a few more gifts and who would better know what an immature 13 year old boy would want than all you guys?? ;)

    Could also use a few suggestions for the daughter's 22 year old boyfriend.

    Your help (?) is greatly appreciated.

    This is vague at best without a price-range.


    Buy your 13 year old some GOOD paintballs. I hope to God you didn't get him Brass Eagle equipment.

    Hubby bought the stuff, so I'm sure it's good. I'm not looking to buy the boyfriend a car or anything like that, maybe $50 or so. I've bought him some Burberry cologne and a Puma shirt. Just needs a little something else.

    Justin, your present is in the mail. Should be there anyday. You might want to go wait by the mailbox til it comes.

    get the boyfriend a Dick's gift card or something. If Im ever in a relationship like that sort of deal I'm asking for Golf Galaxy/Golfsmith gift cards.... those cards start to add up and can buy some nice stuff.

    For the 13 year old, does he have an X-Box or a PS3 or something? Some games/accessories(ONLINE HEADSET) would probably do him just fine

    Not to ruin the surprise, but I heard it was $12.

    Can't fail with a giftcard from Best Buy or something like that.

    Perhaps a nice bottle of liquor (I mean, he is 22...)

    Condoms and a Victoria Secret gift card would be funny in that creepy uncomfortable sort of way.

    Especially when he opened them in front of her Dad and Grandpa.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA That was great, power_i! Does your 13 year old have an iPod? If so, an iPod gift card is always welcome.

    Gift Cards for the son, and get him some good paintballs. Btw what kind of hopper came with the gun?
  • power i
    No clue crosby show. Hubby was in charge of all that. I just wrapped it and paid no attention. I know he didn't buy the best, as we'll see if he uses it first.

    zambrown, notice how that went right over their heads? ;)

    tim tebow, yes he has that already. I'm thinking it would be a gift to my daughter if I could make it disappear!

    People always like a booklet of car wash coupons. A recally nice car wash place locally always offers some great deals on their booklets during Christmas. You get like 5-6 (or more) "all the works" washes for $25. It's a really nice USEFUL filler gift and/or stocking stuffer gift.
