My sister really wants a specific nutcracker that I cant find anywhere. I bought one, brought it home, and then realized that one of the ears on the nutcracker had snapped off and was missing.



My mom is going to try and help me out and find one near her, and then Ill just bring her the broken one and the receipt. Heres for her finding it!

Anyways, what cant you find or what are you having difficulty shopping for?

HEY

I'm still speaking to you.
Not a gift, but I have not found our house lights, and at this point I won't string them even if I do.

I handled my Xmas shopping super early this year. HANDLED.

Actually, I cant seem to find a picture of my sis, brother, and I to put in a picture frame I bought for my parents.
I'm going to have to get the 3 of us together this weekend.

Thanks

But seriously though, if you dont talk to someone because you have differing opinions, doesnt that make the world kind of bland and boring?

Back on topic: You better find those lights soon! Christmas is almost over!

I'm sure our opinions differ here & there, but so what? It ain't like we're seated next to each other at the in-laws or something. I only said I'm speaking to you because it appeared to me as if perhaps few were, which just isn't Christmasey at all.

If I find the lights too late maybe I'll throw them up anyway & rename them *un-Christmas* lights- like an un-birthday.

Back on topic(which I think is a rather silly thing to say in any *off-topic* thread, BTW), maybe I'll go look for a present(and not find it )so I can genuinely contribute to this thread.

The Barbie Glamor Camper. It apparently became one of the those hot Christmas toys that you can't find anywhere. Never thought the day would come when I'd be looking through a palette of unopened toy cartons waiting to be put out, searching for a big pink camper.

A coffee maker in which you load the water from the front, not the top.

I know there are a couple available, but there seems to be a plot preventing them from being sold in Canada.

Its OK, today I bought a Taylor Swift CD, Lip Gloss, and a Sleeping Beauty Purse/Evening Gloves/Necklace Combo for my little sister and little cousin. I love them both so much that Im willing to be man enough to walk around in the mall with those items in hand

I wish all the people I was buying for were bass players. Then I'd enjoy shopping.

Snugglies or what ever you call it. I had it on my list, so did my daughter (9years), and I was gonna get one for my bf's mother for Christmas but they were out everywhere! My ex said yea he was looking for one to get so our daughter could give me a gift. And as far as kid's they have blue only. Plenty for the doggies tho!
