I had no idea there were specific terms for those many gift dilemmas. What is it called when a good friend of yours buys you for every birthday and Christmas either candles or generic brand lotion and shower gel from Walmart, because it's cheap enough? I have a friend that does that to me. Not that I don't love candles, but seriously, I try to be original when I get my friends their presents. As for the generic lotion, I came to find out recently that I am allergic to it. So to get the message across, I now have to put in my list of things I want that I can not have generic brands of the lotions and shower gels I love from Bath & Body Works. Even though I put that in my list, she has still given me the generic brands. So where do they end up? In the trash can. haha Andrea Those are good little “gift” descriptions.

Many of us have the same problems. I've been fighting Gift Impotency for the last week and it's been a tough road. Fortunately, Xmas is coming soon and I'll be forced to perform, come what may. I think we'll all pull through ok. You know what they say, when in doubt, give chocolate. I think that's a brilliant idea. Marie, I've heard of giftfinder.com. Sounds like a great way to kill an hour or two . . . hmmm! thanks for the tip! I will certainly look at that jewel today. Best of luck with your deadline! Thanks for coming out to play, Ellen! :) Ah, Georgie, you are among friends here and can share all of your giftual issues in confidence knowing we will never judge you in any way.

Seriously even if you can't find a present you will have fun taking the quiz. I want a writers planner. Something that will buzz at me when I'm wasting time. I need to finish revisions on a couple of chapters and for the last 2 days I've completely ignored it. And I have a deadline. It has to be finished by Sun. giftfinder.com.

You're SUCH a sweetie! Let me see if he's spent the budge yet or not and I'll get back to you. :) If you decide your DH might be up for 'one extra gift' let me know and I'll give him a menage a gift nudge, too. Ah, the joys of friendship! Btw, i can't believe that's corporate policy for that store. Looks as if they could get sued. All I know is that I often hand my daughter my credit card, sit outside on a bench, and wait for her so I don't end up curled in a fetal position in a corner of the store under a rack of 'totally cool' shirts. And even from that distance the music sometimes makes my head ache! Oh, Karen Rose, that’s sweet of you to offer to Menage a Gift for me and my DH! You’re SUCH a sweetie!

I can tell him you really want a shoe gift card. I don't think it would matter if you returned the favor with my DH, because he's been finished with his shopping since October.

The posters on the walls totally creep me out. And my 13-year-old knows it. "Mom, isn't he HOT?" Shudder. I told the kids behind the counter that they were killing their hearing and when they got old like me they would regret it. I was surprised when they didn't roll their eyes. The one girl was very polite and informed me it's a corporate rule that the sound system be set that high. Sad. Karen H - I'm so jealous that you can wear those shoes and that they make your legs look that good. I'm relegated to the Naturalizer store because I have feet shaped like bricks. It's not pretty. Awesome Blog, KarenH!! Awesome comments, everyone! Gannon – that’s the one. The posters on the walls totally creep me out. And my 13-year-old knows it. “Mom, isn’t he HOT?” Shudder.
