Who's the hardest person to shop for?

AJ · 11-17-2005

With X-Mas time coming up and shopping starting to hit everyone who is alwasy a PITA to pick up a gift for?

Anyone have tips on what to get parents who alwasy say they need nothing?

Any tips on how to get people to stop buying clothes you'll never wear?

Are you a gift or gift card buyer?

With parents it's always gift certificate's. They always seem to be a safe bet. Mom gets one to somewhere in the mall. Dad gets one to auto parts store or home depot or something. Then I one to the olive garden or a nice place similar.

I don't know how to get people to stop buying clothes that I'll never wear. I still have a pair of pants from like 6 years ago in my closet that it is even sitting in the box it came in all wraped up.

EBAY!...haha. j/k. You can just have everyone make a wishlist of what they want. Seems to work for our family. That way we get what we want. If you dont want clothes, put it on the WishNotToGet List under your WishList..haha.

ME. I ussualy buy what ever I want when I want it, so when it's time for somebody to buy me something it pretty hard to know what to get me.

I am with you Vicious. People always ask me and I don't know what to tell them. My sister is pretty hard to buy for too.

No one since I don't buy anything for anyone.

My Mother. She has everything and anything. Usually I just send people I can't shop for money. Much easier.

for me its my 10 neices and nephews, just because, well... there are 10 of them and that costs a ton of money. Damn sisters and brothers breed more then rabbits. LOL

my mom usually. But this year she told us what to get.

my g/f is hard to shop for aswell, mainly because what she wants is usually 300+
and this year i'm only going to spend 100.

Cheap ass. LOL

I would definately have to say that parents are the hardest to shop for. Others will give you kind of an idea of what they would like, but parents usually say they don't want/need anything. But you want to get them a little something....

Everyone always says that it's hard to buy for me cuase if I want something I buy it, and if I havn't bought it I probably don't want it.
