badgers 380 Posted December 23, 2011 Girlfriend: Built her a computer, gift card to Maurices, and a book You mean like you customized it from a website right? Though I do know some people who salvage parts from used computers and build custom computers by hand. If I did that it'd probably blow up though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweetness34 142 Posted December 23, 2011 Well, Dad: a family photo shoot with framed prints, gorilla pod lantern, pistol air soft gun (all he does is talk about how he wants a new pistol so I'm screwing with him.... My fam actually got him a real one but we'll make him sweat. Stepmom: custom book cover for kindle fire, framed print Sister: framed print, trekking pole with fold out legs to make it a tripod Real mom: framed and matted print of her, my sister, and I we took a few weeks ago. Girlfriend: custom book cover for iPad, purple montana state under armor fleece, big wooden sign I don't have a lot of money this Christmas so I couldn't do too much, thats why a lot of people are getting framed prints that I took. Each one is worth like $75, but only costs me like $30 to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted December 23, 2011 He's a Jew. I mean we did have Channukah, but we just kinda stopped as the years went on. I don't have a lot of money that wasn't originally my parents so buying them gifts would be kinda dumb. I sometimes get a small gift from them, but sometimes they say paying for college all the gift I get (which im certainly not complaining about). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted December 23, 2011 Don't do gifts with family so my list is a lot shorter. Nice job on the tickets, though I'm sorry you'll have to be subject to such vile music for a few hours. You mean like you customized it from a website right? Though I do know some people who salvage parts from used computers and build custom computers by hand. If I did that it'd probably blow up though... Nah, I ordered the parts and the operating system and put it all together and then installed staple programs for her. I'm not a computer expert or anything, but I know how to build them and what parts are good and whatnot. I don't have a lot of money this Christmas so I couldn't do too much, thats why a lot of people are getting framed prints that I took. Each one is worth like $75, but only costs me like $30 to make. Sounds like a nice batch of presents. I for one definitely like the thoughtful or practical presents like the framed pictures over anything else. Thing is, I can't really make anything artistic like that unless I go gay and write everyone a poem, lol. ZOS is quite the Santa Clause. Last year and this year have been the first two years where I've had the money to really buy my family presents. I always felt bad that I never had the means to get people anything growing up, so I kinda' went crazy since I can afford it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to have the Mega Darth Vader Castle lego fortress. That thing was sick as hell man. Also for the brother getting a T-shirt just get him a gift card to Best Buy or Radio Shack or some other local electronics store. I'm guessing he's probably mid teens or something?
