    Holiday Season 2014

    So with Black Friday/Cyber Monday etc sales upon us I figure most people have are now starting their holiday shopping if they haven't already. I myself was having some trouble filling out gift ideas for a few people on my list and I thought maybe the folks on BG could share a few ideas. I'll start out with a few items I got picked out so far:

    Going in with a couple people to put together a gaming PC
    Set of spices including a small bit of Saffron for someone who can cook
    How to Eat Like You Give a Fuck for someone who can't
    Royal Belgian Balancing Siphon Coffee Maker
    Barack Obama memorabilia for a deeply conservative relative
    Some games on steam sales

    Honestly think my family just wants clothes this year. Pretty much everyone here agrees our winter this year is going to be more brutal than usual.

    Went way overboard this year probably but no regrets. All my shopping is now done - we headed to Best Buy around 9pm Thursday night and were surprised at the relatively short lines compared to years past.
    Amazon has also been my best friend thanks to Prime.
    Feels good to have it all done this early - now I just have to hide packages as they arrive lol.
