    Haha, she does want one.

    I'm actually thinkin' about gettin' her jewelry and movies. She wants the 3 harry potter movies, Hitch, and some others. Usually, this would be an item that I just surprise her with, but I think I'll get her a bunch of movies and a necklace or something.

    Or I'll stop by Victoria's Secret.

    Why buy something that you're just gonna take off? I'm using Locke's lingo...

    Anyway, does she really want a puppy? I think the stuff you had in mind like the necklace is a better choice.

    Well I made a reference that I might get her a puppy, but she doesn't really want one that bad. She's got 3 dogs and a cat already, and I'm thinking about a necklace or ring.

    Note to BlackMamba: Don't buy her jewelry or a pet.

    You're just setting yourself up for placing high expectations down the line. I recommend you travel somewhere with her instead. Part of keeping relationship in place is constantly experiencing new things together so you continue to find out more about one another and share those experiences.

    Dont know what I want for Christmas, I basically have everything I want, I usually just buy it myself.

    I absolutley hate buying people gifts or presents, so I probally wont buy my family members anything (as bad as that sounds) but I know they expect that already.

    Mamba, if you do go with the necklace, find a creative way to give it to her. Like if your giving her all of those movies together, get one of those movie popcorn tubs you can buy at the store and put the necklace at the bottom so it's the last thing she finds. She'll dig it and it won't **** everywhere.

    That's what I do.

    I really think I'm going to pass on the necklace this year, because last year I got her one. Her mom keeps telling me to get her another one though, I'll get her what I want.

    last year, I bought her a necklace, a gift card, and a box of tampons. The jewelry box was big, big enough to fit a tampon in there. So I made a swap, I put the necklace in the bottom of the tampon box, and the tampon in the necklace case. Oddly enough, she loved it.

    My grades are up so hopefully an Xbox 360. Other than that, maybe some gift cards to some places. A 360 is what I`m really pushing for though.

    I already know I'm getting Gears of War from my sister's boyfriend (I thought it was weird that he was getting me something but he said don't worry about it since he works at EB and got it on the cheap, I'll still get him something though) and a Warriors "The City" sweater from m mom. My Mom said to pick 2 more things for me to get from her but I really don't want anything, I'll probably go with a new pair of shoes and a videogame or something. For my mom I'm thinking about going in with my sisters on a nice printer for my mom's computer because the one she has now is from like 96' and really sucks. I don't know what I'm getting anyone else but since I have a job this year I won't be as concerned about price; probably buy some DVDs for my cousins and some CDs for my sisters.

    <u>What I'm Getting People</u>
    Parents - I really have no clue what I'm getting them. Me and my brothers are going to figure something out probably, but if all else, we can get them some gift cards.

    Brother - Need For Speed Carbon probably. I'm not sure what else to really get him.

    Girlfriend - I really have no clue. She gives me clues as to what she wants at all. I'm thinking of buying her tix to see Nickelback in March, but I don't if I want to do that for Christmas, seeing as how the day they come to Iowa is our 10 month anniversary. So..any suggestions for what to get for you and your GFs first Christmas together is much appreciated.


    <u>What I Want</u>
    Acoustic guitar
    Maybe some 360 or Wii games
    Clothes in general
    Zune
    Cash
