What are you GIVING this year?

[Sethomas]

Let's all hope that none of our recipients read this thread before they get their gifts!

What are some of the gifts that you feel special about giving to people? My family gifts are kind of lame this year, just giving them basic shit that they'd actually asked for or would obviously like or whatever. BUT I'm getting one of my best friends a box of 20 Fat Cat cigars. They're awesome, the band has a Cheshire cat smoking a cigar in a pinstripe suit and the catalog described them as being "Acrid and Foul". I'm also getting him a bottle of mead, 'cuz he asked for a nice bottle of wine but he likes mead so he'll never see that one coming!

I just now gave my girlfriend her gift, I dropped it off at her work and told the desk to give it to her. SHIT, I just remembered that I forgot to mark off the price on the frame! I chose it because she's a Near Eastern Languages and Cultures major, it's a leaf from the Koran dating to around 1650 and it's written with gold leaf and shit. I had it professionally framed with a really nice frame (marked $44, but on sale with 75% off!) and a brass plaque saying what it is. Suede matting, bitches!

Now I just need to find a gift for my other best friend. She's a girl and she's really cool, what should I get her??

Oh, I'm not ultra-rich, I just have more income than usual right now because my costs of living aren't much of an issue.
