Any gifts that you are excited about that you have for your kids?
Up until today, I was searching and searching for ideas for my 15 yr old kid. Luckily, I learned today that he is eligible for an upgrade for his phone(he has been bitching about his for a while now). So I ordered him the HTC Rezound after reading good reviews on it and iffy reviews on the upcoming Nexus Prime. Then for lulz...I bought him a potato cannon. I am finally starting to get excited for christmas morning.
cool story bro

Of course...it also hit me that, fuck, this is when it starts getting expensive since Transformers and GI Joes just won't cut it anymore. Damn it!

Bought the kids their first video game system. Found a good deal on some system called an Atari? And a couple games. Hope they like it.

I actually did buy a Colecovision for my brother in law for this Christmas. Along with the first expansion module so you can play Atari 2600 games on it too. Lol

I fear for the generation below me if these are truly the gifts. I love you CLOWNTOOTH, but man, something doesn't sit right with me having children with all these toys at a young age.

That'd be pretty cool if you're son got into The Ohio State University. Let me know if he needs scholarships and I'll see what kind of strings I can pull at the Financial Aid office.wes_mantooth;1010777 wrote:No worries sleeper...he will repay me with a degree from the greatest university in the world....THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY.

Man and I thought I was good at deals. I'm with you. If I can spoil them without going into debt then so be it. Your kids are only kids for a little while.wes_mantooth;1010789 wrote:well, I am nifty on deals...I got all that **** for around $400 bucks.

I just added everything up...I was a little low on my estimate, it was actually about 465. Anyhow, he is my only child, so he reaps the rewards...lolScarlet_Fever;1010799 wrote:Man and I thought I was good at deals. I'm with you. If I can spoil them without going into debt then so be it.

pretty much online. I got the bluray player for 50 via walmart on thanksgiving. I got the two xbox games through gamefly for a dollar. The PS3 games were buy one, get one half off at amazon. The nook was a one day online sale at target. The phone was 199 through amazon wireless and the potato cannon was off of some random site for 25 shipped.ernest_t_bass;1010944 wrote:Where'd you get most of your shit?
