Gift Ideas

[Rebecca 0]

OK, my fount of ideas, I need a gift for a co-worker. He's got a wife and little ones, lives in the 'burbs, plays golf. Fairly typical corporate dude. Of course, everyone else is getting him golf crap, so I wanted something else.

I was thinking a good movie (but that's SO subjective), or a neat gizmo (for less than $30?), or, or, I dunno!!!

Any suggestions?

Maybe some of those golf movies, like the following:

Happy Gilmore
Tin Cup

and those other two movies that I can't remember the names of but were damn good ones. One had Matt Damon and Will Smith, and the other one had Jim Caviezel. Matt and Jim played golf superstars from the old days, and Jim's character is the founder of The Masters golf course in Augusta...

what about something the family can do together, like a movie theater gift certificate? Or, you can buy them your favorite family movie, and make a basket out of it. Include popcorn, some candy, hot chocolate, stuff for a fun night in.

How well do you know these people?

You COULD give them a restaurant gift card and a "gift certificate" of a free night of babysitting.

Awesome ideas!! I love the golf movie theme! "The price is WRONG, bitch!!"

And the family fun idea is a good one too!

I shopped the Sharper Image, but nothing really caught my eye... lots of crap, neat crap, but still crap.

I honestly don't know them well enough to offer to babysit - plus they have a special needs child, which I am not qualified for.

I think I'll browse Best Buy for a minute...

Keep the ideas coming - they're really helping!!

A clapper for his office computer?

A bonzai tree for his office with a little plastic china man in it?

Electric nose hair trimmer?

Two rabbits?

You could give him a picture of your other eye.

I just had very dirty thoughts about your avatar.

The best prezzies that I've ever received are the sort that I would never have bought for my self (so for your mate, anything golf would be out).

Such as, for my 40th (recently)... someone made me a photo album up of my life (so far) .... baby pics and all. It's a great little treasure.

Have you know him long enough to have photos and stories from his work mates....

Or Take a team photo and have T-shirts made up

You know something personally.... Remember, it's the thought that counts.

Thanks for the help guys! I ended up getting him the new Office Space collector's edition (or whatever), which comes with a mug, a mouse pad, a red Swingline stapler, and some other stuff... he hadn't even seen it yet, so he didn't get the significance of Lumbergh on the coffe cup, but you know...

Oh, and I got him Happy Gilmore too, just to with the golf stuff...

I still think you should have gone with the Barbie. The set comes with an electric razor to keep the whiskers down and a roll of duct tape to keep.......well you know...... hidden.

[Rebecca 0]

Ah yes, the ol' tuck-n-tape...

Ya know..........as I was typing that.......I was thinking to myself........"Dear GOD Why the FUCK do I know about such things!?!?!?!?!?" Certainly a bit of knowledge I could have gone to my grave without and not missed a thing. But........it was funny so I have a duty to fulfill.
