Creature from the Black Lagoon action fig from McFarlane, eh??? I think I just figured out what I want for xmas... damn, I'm gonna have to keep my eyes out for a deal on one of those suckers!

Anyway, what would I like? Well, a charter membership to Vsift would be nice, if anyone should happen to be reading this who needs ideas (got some familial frequenters of this site myself)...

Otherwise, my family is not too big on the gift giving now that all us kids are all grow-ed up, my grandmother for the last two years has given all her adult apartment dwelling grandchildren giant garbage-bag wrapped care packages of detergent, kleenex, toilet paper, and other household supplies. Basically we just spoil the two younger ones (which is backfiring, as they get older they get more obnoxious), my cousins ages 6 and 9, whom I've found out are getting a Wii, so I think that is what my whole family will be doing on xmas, playing Wii tennis.

truth be told, my boys aren't very consumerist and they don't beg for much. Second son wants action figures but honestly I'm not too sure what action figures there are left for him to collect - he's got so many already! They always appreciate movies and games though. There was an awesome action figure of the Creature from the Black Lagoon he wants (from the McFarlane series) but because it ws discontinued you can only get it on ebay for hundreds of dollars. Same with the old style 70's Godzilla he wanted.
If you want a (cheap) suggestion, I am always happy to get lotion from Bath and Body Works but I just recently went there and stocked up with a gift certificate I got for my birthday so I won't be asking for that (though I usually do) us wimmin usually dig that sort of thing.
