gift for me:)
« on: December 12, 2014, 09:24:49 AM »
my parents want to buy me a chanuka gift, budget a few hundred dollars. they want me to come up with something
i am very very spoiled and/or have a poor imagination and cant think of anything. first thought was a new ipad as i have ipad 2,but i dont really see the need there.... same for getting a new laptop....was thinking of a kindle, not sure if i will use it much or at all.
any ideas?

Kindle is useless and cheap, for a good laptop you need to spend at least $800. I personally don't own a camera.

Hermes ties are nice in that price range….

a camera can be a good idea for my wife... she takes enough pics as it is though, always worth it later

If your trip of a lifetime is only a couple hundred dollars we need to have a talk.

I guess next time I should read the OP more closely.

But to go OT where is your dream trip?

dont know much about headphones, doesnt everyone fuss over beats?
Depends on your race and age...
If you want noise-cancelling nothing beats Bose.

How about an intangible?  Baby sit for the weekend or a few days during the week (if applicable) so you and the Mrs can get away together?  Help you guys find a place of your own? A 'gift certificate' worth specific help to fix up said new place when you get one?


cuff links? watch?  New hat or suit?
