That way they get good quality music one tune at a time from apple.com, the legal way ;) You can get the cards at Best Buy i think, or online. <BR/>My nephews like gift certificates/cards from places like Tim Hortons and fast food joints, 'cause it's easy, and of course Cineplex Odeon is always a winner (which are cheap at CAA if you are a member).<BR/>If the older one has a car, something to "pimp the ride" is cool.<BR/>I'm running out of ideas....let me work on it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27999196.post-39066717149477512382007-12-16T11:43:00.000-05:002007-12-16T11:43:00.000-05:00Gypsy here--Bear no eat tree, or nothin' else neit...Gypsy here--Bear no eat tree, or nothin' else neither.<BR/>It pretty 'n' Sandy Claws bring treats iffn' you good!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016792055592749456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27999196.post-10052068094453836542007-12-15T20:44:00.000-05:002007-12-15T20:44:00.000-05:00I go with the book idea.

See if you can find out what they're interested in and get appropriate books.<BR/><BR/>Our only tree incident this year is that one of the cats has decided to remove 2 ornaments. I guess they were in his way.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016792055592749456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27999196.post-90211704736674980042007-12-15T14:40:00.000-05:002007-12-15T14:40:00.000-05:00Books?

If they use them online they can still get DVDs or CDs too.froggiemeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271814192238424709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27999196.post-74168812674492098702007-12-15T11:38:00.000-05:002007-12-15T11:38:00.000-05:00No brilliant ideas - I'm struggling with ideas for...No brilliant ideas - I'm struggling with ideas for my BIL - makes good money, buys himself whatever he wants the moment he sees it, and although I like him very much and we get along well, we don't have much in common, so I don't have some quirky brilliant idea to pull out of the hat. <BR/><BR/>Our school seems to have come to a reasonably happy medium with the Christmas thing - it is kept pretty inclusive, but Christmas is in there along with Hanukah, Kwanzaa, etc. (this week's special spelling words are reindeer and menorah!) and they do a nice job of putting together a "let's all pull together for world peace" theme at the concert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27999196.post-1182771534868435042007-12-15T11:37:00.000-05:002007-12-15T11:37:00.000-05:00Hmm, maybe if you give the teens gift cards or pla...Hmm, maybe if you give the teens gift cards or plain cash? Maybe a cheque is too many steps...go to the bank, try to cash it, get told by the bank that there will be a 5 day hold on it, get the money, and then spend it. A gift card at Best Buy can be used right off the bat,though.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the whole Christmas/Eid/Solstice thing. Give me a break. All or none. End of discussion. <BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, you could really put a cat among the pigeons by claiming you were a Wiccan and demand a Solstice fire representation....Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047009380102911866noreply@blogger.com
