Christmas shopping.

[AlaskaHawks]

I finished a month or so ago.

Costco FTW.

I'm sure your gal and the rest of your family will be thrilled with their gifts...

I only get gifts for the kids. They have plenty of toys there.

[gaskill15]

I haven't started either, but I don't really get the point of a gift card.

Like the Mitch Hedberg joke goes...you take cash which is good everywhere, and change it to cash that is good in one specific store.

That's why I get the Visa gift cards that you can use anywhere. Better than getting them something they won't use or like.

Been buying toys for the kids online the last few months, that way we wouldn’t be last minute shopping in December.

[kobeunderbite]

I gotta admit... I'm shocked the old drunken loner has anybody to give them to.

Good for you, Stars.

You expect Macie to wake up Christmas morning with nothing waiting under the tree?

Actually I have a couple of new stuffed toys for her to play with. She loves tug of war.

There's a taxidermy joke in here somewhere.

[Macrotus]

I think I've wasted about $97,000 over the years by not using (or losing) all the gift cards I've received...

72% of which are to Target.

Don't be a lazy ass...find out their favorite stores/restaurants and buy a gift card from there. They will use it. I hate receiving gift cards to places where I don't even shop.

[Chooch]

Gift cards are the legitimately dumbest thing you could possibly do on the face of the earth.

Either grow a brain and think of an actual gift, or give cash.

...Schmuck

To fucking lazy to Christmas shop. And gift cards are like money anyway. PUck off.

They're the exact opposite of money you fucking hack.

[swampgator]

I haven't done any shopping yet, but I'll buy some gifts for immediate family and nothing else.

We’ve started. My kids are hard this year. My oldest wants an iPod and that’s not happening so I’ll be nothing but a disappointment this year.

What’s wrong with the iPod?

What’s wrong with the iPod?

1. It’s expensive (more than I want to spend on a gift that will probably get broken or lost)
2. She’s too young in my opinion to have access to the internet and social media apps that are on iPods. If it were just for music than I’d be all for it but it’s not.

1. Too expensive? It's like $200ish
2. How old?

I wholeheartedly stand with Karl in his decision.

And not only because I'm trying to get back on his good side for him calling me Arty-Lite earlier.

[Chooch]

There's a right way to Xmas shop and a blatant wrong way, like most ITT.

I bet Stars’ gift cards are from Red Robin or Lowe’s.

I bet Stars’ gift cards are from Red Robin or Lowe’s.

At one point, Red Robin was listed as one of the best burgers in Florida.

Florida’s food scene is just sad.

How odd you said that. My two sisters have home improvements to do so I gave them Home Depot cards. My two nieces got Visa cards. Should have just given them a lump of coal instead.

Don’t those Visa gift cards take away a couple dollars? For example, if you put 25 bucks on it, don’t they take a percentage of it?

Nope, they do charge you 6 bucks per card tho .
