That is exactly the face I was imagining the big gray and white blob laying beside me would make if I dreamt of putting such a thing on him! As for the OP, I always try very hard to give gifts that are special and personally tailored to the individual. The possibilities are endless. I know what I asked for this year.......really good, 100% wool socks. My old green army hand me downs are getting see through and we've no army surplus stores around. They are ugly as sin but nothing is better on the feet than a really good wool sock. They are expensive to buy and I am stingy with myself. I know most everyone is finding money very tight right now so what is an extravagance for me on a sock shopping basic, is perfect for someone that only has $20 ish dollars to spend but wants to get something for me, like my kids do. So I said, "A pair of good wool socks please." when I was asked. Most everyone on my list is getting either fudge, pralines, my locally famous apple sauce, preserves, one or more, mounted framed photos, or a combination of the afore mentioned. Except the grands, they are getting one of the less expensive toys they asked for and a few other odds and ends. With Generic Dude it depends on how much of my stuff (framed prints) sell. I would like to surprise him by helping him pay for a class he is going to be taking and is very passionate about. I just do not know if I can come up with the dinero.
