The Sommerer Family is doing a gift exchange and I was lucky enough to get my father-in-law’s name. I am the world’s worst shopper, ever, so give me some ideas. You don’t need to know his likes, hobbies, or interests, because even the people who know those things can’t buy presents for him. Just some random ideas, please. Thanks in advance.
No need to worry if he’ll read this. He never checks this site.
Kitt says
Steaks? A Netflix subscription? Old Spice?
What’s your price range?
Lloyd says
I don’t think we ever really talked about that. I’m assuming it’s somewhere between $100 and $200. More on the high end for people whoever has my name.
Lauren says
Not $10????? Whew -- that’s pricier than the old school exchange.
Brad says
How about a ShamWow? …except now that I’ve googled it, I see many complaints. This was among them: “i picked up a leaf from outside and it soaked up the spill better than this thing.”
But maybe that would give him the gift of something to complain about, and EVERYBODY likes to complain.
Cousin Sam says
Right you are Brad me boy! and since Brad brought up complaining… This “news” site seems to turned into Weird Homes and Gadgets (I couldn’t come up with anything clever opposite Better Homes and Gardens.) It used to be about Ron Paul, auctions, trailers, building stuff no one needs, and Rock and Roll!
Gift- Wii seems to be hot now. Build him a Waa
Beth says
Warm socks. He’s still a mail
mancarrier, right?Or a gift certificate to that steakhouse in South Bend. He liked that place.
Lauren's dad says
A hundred dollar silk tie?
Rae says
Cigars and beer? or a good bottle of whiskey?
Lloyd says
Last time he came to our house he didn’t drink anything. I thought he was an impostor. It was sort of creepy.
Rae says
Did you check his temperature? Or poke him to make sure he was real? Do you suppose it was a temporary or permanent condition. Long term conditions like this are hard to get used to and may cause depression -- watch for symptoms (in him and yourself.)
Peggy says
These are always a big hit…

Karla says
I vote for something (or many things) from perpetual kid dot com.
Katxena says
You know what I’d want in that price range? A Roku box and a netflix subscription. Or a garden cart.

It is seriously good.
kiwe says
An ipod with a mix of songs from his childhood
Lloyd says
I was thinking of that, and maybe transferring his albums onto it.
christina says
make sure you get all the Christmas albums.
Lauren says
Thanks, everybody. I’ll take one of each!
