I find kids so easy to buy for. <br />I hope I get a new kitchen soon too!

Some might have fees to use checks, but not for the recipient. Most of the larger banks have no-fee checking as long as the combined balance on your accounts is above a certain level. If it is, you don't pay anything. If it isn't, they charge you for every little thing, including the checks themselves.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-44193491650665307612014-12-29T13:10:43.410-08:002014-12-29T13:10:43.410-08:00I have to get Kaish and Bria presents in January a...I have to get Kaish and Bria presents in January also.

I can't for the life of me think what I'd do with it.<br /><br />I think the gift token works if you know, like with you, someone is into a craft/art and that's where they usually get supplied. Otherwise cash, tastefully packaged with an amusing story is the way.<br />Do you have to pay to encash a cheque. We do.

Some Andrew Jacksons are more my speed. :)<br />Yah, and usually I do gift cards, which are almost as unimaginative - actually more really. In that case I'm deciding where the person gets to shop. I've always thought that was a great gift, because that's what I'd want rather than some silly item that I won't ever use. But after some years of I buy you a $50 gift card to xyz, and then you buy me a $50 gift card to abc, well at that point I wonder if we could be a little more exciting in our gift buying, or just keep our $50 to ourselves. <br />In fact, a year or so ago, one of my closest friends just wrote me a check for my bday and said to go buy what I want. Cuz it's hard to buy. I wish could be more creative, but sometimes, that's all I've got!<br />I do think it is easier for a spouse/sig other or someone you live with because they at least mention things they might need/want in around-the-house small talk, or at least I've found that to be true. <br />A compressor? An air compressor?Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-26961766523861290572014-12-28T23:59:48.616-08:002014-12-28T23:59:48.616-08:00Go in to China Town and get some of the Luck Bags...Go in to China Town and get some of the Luck Bags. Then put a Benjamin or two into it. <br />I know it sounds a bit cold but we all have items we'd just love to have but how the heck can we expect people to know our minds. I know you women expect your men to mind read, being so in tune with your needs that you don't require to use your words at all. Well if you have one of them, you have one who'll snuggle up with a bottle of wine and a box of brie to watch Downton Abbey, you've something known as your gay best friend YGBFF. <br />The Chinese have loads of fluff stuff for pennies that you can nest the red envelope if you're so minded to bulk things up. <br />But the truth is for all the nose crinkling cash works. And the reality is you can afford to increase the value of the gift since you don't have to devote an entire day schlepping about shops you'd not normally be seen dead inside. <br />If you think I'm wrong ask yourself what can a woman get for a man. Given the man isn't her significant other and where a set of lacy, puppy elevating, tushy perting and leg elongating secret from Victoria are out. <br />Me, I want a compressor. Do I need a compressor, no. Why do I want a compressor, well it looks fun. But would you ever think of that, no of course not. <br />OK, for a man, of a teen. If not cash in a tasteful Chinese envelope, then a lesson of two flying a plane/helicopter. I'd say you'll find an introductory offer for about the same as any present you'd get anyway.<br />For a woman you're on your own.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
