Just out of the blue is totally fine with me, though, as that implies more of a response. But I'm not going to continue to argue this as I know I'm in the minority as a logical viewpoint on this topic somebody post something you got as a present or have bought for somebody else as a present but actually was for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in the end, it was easier to just buy what we each wanted and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I do that cos we have joint finances. Gift giving isn't based upon necessity, although, 1 hour ago, k31th said: consumables such as pots and pans can be a good gift for some people, especially younger people, that need the basic necessities. Pot and pan sets run upward of $500 and that is easy for an older person to buy generally, and is a practical gift. Gift giving is loosely based on love and we set the gift giving process in motion around significant days, such as birthdays and xmas etc. I love my bro so he gets a bottle of rum. I love my daughter so she gets a barbie car. I love my neighbor so they get a bag of home grown mandarins. I ain't buying that sh*t weekly though. There are different levels to it. I can tell you one thing though, it's not based on how much you spend. You give cos you want to give. It's about what you give, not the cost of it. Lemme ask ya, after that wall of text, have you got gym chalk? That sh*t will change your life. 48 minutes ago, Rab said: I got the 4yo a telescope Is that the used to be 2yo? How is the telescope? I bought my kids a scalextric set among other things but they gave up on it after 5 minutes cos it's too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sh*t will change your life. nah, mate. I don't lift enough in one movement to need it. I actually like getting some callouses a bit... masochistic, perhaps haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalk will give you more calluses. I've got a spare block if you want to try some. I've got several actually. 2 hours ago, Ford Freak said: this thread should be packed with all the santa presents I bought this for my oldest boy to fix his bike and sh*t. I've also got a tool chest that his grandad gave to me to put it in. He's not that thrilled but every time we've had to replace batteries he's had it covered.
