What are you looking for? I am trying to think of something different to get the sons and their wives. They usually get a gift certificate for a restaurant and some other small item to open. Seems like I heard about a mystery dinner place. They would get to eat plus solve some kind of a mystery. Hmmmmm. How does that sound?

I've only looked online. #2 wants a pair of Jordan's Dub Zeros which you can't find in the stores and they're hard to find online. I found a site though and they're only $89.99. Now #1 wants a pair of Nike boots but I'm not sure I'm looking at the right ones and I hope I'm looking at the wrong ones cuz what I saw were $165.

Never heard of a mystery train ride, Mocha. That is along the lines of what I would love to find. I will try "the google". lol Yikes at the 165...

I've seen it advertised here a few years ago in the travel section of the newspaper. Hope you find one out there Rosie. Oh and #1 also wants a Polo shirt. Yes he has expensive taste and no job.

Oh, here is the site for the dinner mystery. Sounds like January might work but there are so many choices. Be prepared to duck if you click on the site. lol http://www.thedinnerdetective.com/home.htm

I don't really exchange gifts, except with my cousin's wife (and some year I'll suggest we cut that off since she has grandchildren to buy for) but when I did the Disney CHOC/Walk I picked up some little pins to give to some of my local lunch and workout friends.

Here is a train one: http://www.fwry.com/murder_NEW_2006_2007/murder_new_current_1.html Do you think they would enjoy the train or just the dinner one above? They would have to drive a ways for the train one.

you can order them online or you can get them as gift cards at our local Safeway. this way the family can get her some. she has a video ipod that my dad got her last christmas. and she'd like to have more movies on it.

Rosie, great idea, but you should get yourself one for going with them! The train one sounds fun, as long as they have plenty of time to plan for that trip.. something to look forward to, really. (unless they hate driving, of course) Another fun thing would be a cert for a ballooning trip.

The train does sound good to me too, Mocha, but that is around a 4 hour drive, roundtrip. If I got the dinner/mystery, I could surprise both sons with the gift for the same night. hahahaha. The four of them could enjoy the same night. Hmmmmm. I may have to call and check their plans but don't want to ruin the surprise part. Did you visit the site to see that they could participate in the mystery?

I got to go shopping with DD at the big outlet center in Las Vegas. I found a couple Banana Republic shirts for picky 21 year old grandson! My DD got the cutest coach bag for her granddaughter. But I do plan on buying online as much as possible. It is 150 mile round trip to hit the big stores.

Yup! I bought my bf a rugby calendar online a month ago, and yesterday I bought him one of the new iPod shuffles that are the size of a matchbook.

Eeyore, in New Messages, it says, "Yup! I bought my bf a rug" and I thought, "What? That's kind of odd" so I peeked in here to see what kind of rug your boyfriend was going to get for Christmas... LOL!

I bought 1,000 rounds of 9mm ammo the other day. Still trying to score a good price for .223 but bullets are expensive during wartime.

Half (and Landi), that may be the most unusual gift listed.
