Keep it clean, pornographers.

I have no idea what to buy for a male relative who is past the Anything-With-A-Siren years, too young to share even a single pop-culture reference that I will have heard of, and owns just about everything already.

He's immature for his years, likes scouting and the outdoors and is being raised Republican and had a thing for firearms that I hope he's outgrown, and airplanes which he may or may not still find interesting.

Reading bores him. (He did NOT get that from Aunt Shereads' side of the family.)

Please help while there's still time to order the default gift, an amazon.com gift certificate.

Don't suggest anything you wouldn't buy for your own son, or I'll stop the car and this time, I really mean it when I say that nobody will go to Disney World.

I don't get my nephews anything. They've got too much shit already. I just buy toys and donate them to the salvation army instead.

That would work if I spent time with the boy, but I avoid his family and have to buy his affection.

If you were 15-ish this year, what would you consider a cool gift from your eccentric aunt?

The old stand by. Video games.

Agreed. At 22, I know a multitude of good games coming out. Name me the system, I'll name you a game.

X-box: Halo2, Star Wars-Knights of the Old Repbulic 2

Playstation 2: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

Gamecube: Metroid Prime 2 Echos

Those would be my top pics for each system as they stand now.
 
Also the Nintendo DS and PLaystation handheld just came out. Ask parentage if anyone is getting that and if so, more games, more games, more games!!!

(And GTA: San Andreas might be a little too much if he's a young 15, or immature. Kinda graphic, kinda mean, lotsa pimpin'.)

Yeah, sorry forgot about the content since I'm so used to it.

Handheld, new edition, might work since I won't have to find out what game system(s) he owns.

Pimpin', not so much. They go to church and they already think I'm hellbound.
 
Opinions on ipod? digital cameras? trendy wristwatch? Gift certificate for body piercings/tattoos?
 
1. Inexpensive digital camera

2. Game Boy

3. XBOX or PS2 Game or system ($$$)

4. CD or MP3 Player

5. Watch

6. Sunglasses???

7. Wallet with money

Amazon Gift Certificate is good, but you might consider something like Walmart instead since it has a little bit of everything and is easier to access for some.

Nothing wrong with where your bound. As long as the bondage is a bit lose just enough to move to avoid chaffing, I don't see a problem.
 
S'why I figgered I'd warn you, as I maniacally drive my character and my ho (okay my roomate playing my ho) off a cliff at sunrise, killing a highway full of early morning commuters in San. Fran.

Everyone loves Mario as well. New Mario Tennis is quite fun.
 
At a guess his perfect gift will be double what you were wanting to spend.....

Can you phone his parents and find out what they've gotten for him, that could give you a clue or two about what he currently likes. If you can't stand that thought, vouchers to big stores that sell cd's, pc and video games would cover most of the bases.

It's so much easier when they're 5 and you just have to pick a super hero!

Your radar's workin', is it? And I thought I was hiding my propensities with such delicacy.

I just couldn't stand to leave a need such as that unfilled.

Those were heady, carefree times. I had only to remember, "Jason the Red PowerRanger," and I was a goddess for another year. If he already had one of whatever it was, it didn't matter because the only thing better than one Red PowerRanger was one and a backup.

The stupidest gift from an aunt's perspective and the one that he couldn't put down was a PowerRanger glove that made a noise, presumably like a karate-chop. That's all it did. If it had been even more exciting than that, he'd have passed out cold.

My needs are filled, and I bite. Nevertheless, I'm flattered.

:devil:

I'm used to a good bitting. Thank my wife. She has forever marked me in hers. I have a nice ring of teeth from where she got playful one day. That's a fun story. We were teenagers and in the middle bedroom of the house. My mom was one room over and she bit hard. Very hard. She left permanent teeth marks. To keep from screaming, I had to smack her on the head. I didn't mean to, but damn, it was hard. Sorry to digress. Anyway, do to me what you want, I'm used to it, or would like to be anyway. I'm actually working on her with that. ;) If you have any tips to coax a shy quiet Christian girl into being the naughty little repressed dominatrix that she wants to be, please let me know. That would be a nice Christmas gift to this horny 22 year old husband.
 
Damn, that's cruel to tempt with that title and then say, keep it clean.

What did I want when I was 15? Damn.

Clothes don't work. They'll never wear what an adult buys. Who knows what their musical taste is, if any. They download for free, anyway. Anything hardware and half-decent is too expensive. How 'bout a hockey/football jersey.

From what you have said about him, I can almost guarantee he doesn't already have one.

From what I hear, if his parents let him try it out, it will be the best Christmas Present any 15-year-old could get. ;)



To illustrate how heavily the odds are stacked against the family thinking it's anything other than a cheap keychain, let me explain in the simplest terms: Private Gated Golf Community. Framed photo of handshake with George W. Bush.

Need I say more?
If he is a hiker/camper you might try something like a GPS.

YES! Now we're cooking. I made a mental note to get him a GPS weeks ago, and then my mental server crashed.
