Doing it online now so I don't do last minute....so far I've got "Bucky Balls"...a few books....one of those laser heat detectors for my dad so he can find where heat is escaping in the house GENERAL GIFT IDEARS IN THIS THREAD This is pretty good for random people...looks kind of fun. http://getbuckyballs.com/
Buckyballs look pretty cool. They'd make a great white elephant gift. Thankfully, my beautiful wife handles all the xmas shopping... spending my money!
Finished w/ everyone. Got the girl some jewelry, a few movies, a sweatshirt, and a camera. Got the sis a sweatshirt and a movie. The pops some cigars and some whiskey. Mom some gift certificates to beauty salons n w/e. Bro's got a game.
I was really confused by "bucky balls" because that is the term for C60. Carbon arranged into a soccerball pattern. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene
Yeah, I could use some ideas. All I got so far is maybe some CDs for my family, but that's pretty lame. Any suggestions for a jock/fratty? Or some near retirement age parents that have everything? I don't know if the bro is ambitious enough to try brewing his own beer.
I might end up doing that. But that's what I did for my mom's birthday =\ Maybe some comfortable slippers...
