  1. Not only are shipping fees crazy but the product themselves are expensive now too. You can get used (not vintage) things that cost just as much or more then new items from the store! It is crazy and no longer fun to shop for the deal! I only use Ebay if I am looking for something that is not made any more (my dish patterns for example)
  2. Please... don't lecture me on counting my blessings. I am very grateful, even though an extremely close family member JUST passed away, making this season hard.

     

    This whole site is a "deal/shopping" site. No religous, not spiritual, I really, really don't need to be told count my blessings. It's rude!

     

    I think their own idea's would be great if either one of them took a moment to think of who they were shopping for. It'd be like me buying a side of beef for a vegetarian, of a bra for my father, or a full size mountain bike for an infant. The items are so off based to the person, there is no thought in it. That's the point.

     

    Yes this is a shopping website and I love to shop as much as the rest of you but you listed your opinion on a public forum under a holiday thread. It had nothing to do with shopping, your subject was about getting. I'm sorry if you though I was rude as I was not trying to be, however, Christmas is a religious holiday. Your family is being generous and suggestions are just that... suggestions. I have asked ppl what they want and if it isn't something I find interesting they don't get it. That doesn't mean I didn't put time or effort into shopping for them. Maybe the presents I buy ppl aren't what they wanted but I try to make them happy. Your mother bought your son sneakers that he really wanted and instead of focusing on that your focusing on a sweatshirt he may not have wanted. Does your mom know the difference between skater and hip-hop (if that is what you call it) clothes? If you didn't have a teenage boy you prob. wouldn't. Is a throw useless to your son? Maybe but his grandmother was prob. picturing him cuddling on the couch in it with a bowl of popcorn watching his favorite movie. Donate the throw to a women's or animal shelter so someone else will be able to cuddle with it if you have to many. The gifts your son is getting are practical... no teenagers aren't practical but Grandmothers are. Meat, bras and bikes are not practical gifts for those ppl but good analogies anyway. There is always two sides to every story (or in this case reason to buy a Christmas present). Merry Christmas!

  3. Just be thankful your healthy! You shouldn't expect certain things because they were on your list! Maybe those items weren't "fun" to them! I'm sure they are thinking about your son through with their own ideas not with your ideas. There is nothing wrong with that! Relax and enjoy the holiday season!
  4. That is slightly funny but also very selfish! I drop hints as to what I want or need but I don't expect them! I also love when my DH picks out things that he thinks I would love. Someone needs to teach your wife about the real reason for Christmas and that it isn't the gift but the thought that counts! Wow... just WOW! I hope if you have children she atleast pretends to teach them the real meaning behind Christmas ie: Christmas is a time to celebrate God's gift of Jesus to us. I'm not a religious freak or anything but I'm sick of ppl being so self-centered! If I hear of one more person (I say person not child because my sister's ILs said that is what their kids want when she asked them what they would like for Christmas) asking their distant relatives for a $400 Wii I'm going to burst!
