Christmas Shopping for Squeek (Help?)

[Squeek]

Squeek is once again an idiot who cannot even think of things he wants for Christmas. Squeek will therefore ask the general populace of his favorite forum for suggestions on gift items this year.

Things I've already considered:

Thinkgeek shirts: got 4.
Computer peripherals: looking into http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144327
GCN games: Only want a preorder on Twilight Princess and/or a Revolution.

And that's it. So like help plz kthx

XBox 360.

Wait, Christmas is in December, isn't it?

In that case, swing by Future Shop, bring a notepad, and look around. Like you, I can't ever think of things I want for Christmas/birthday/St. Patrick's Day, but once I actually visit a technology-oriented store, I come out with plenty of ideas.

[emccky]

I actually came to chit-chat to make a thread exactly like this. I have no idea what I want, so I'm going to keep checking on this thread for things to ask for.

1) No. Xbox = Teh Suk.

2) What the heck is Future Shop. Localized stores don't work with Christmas Shopping. Try chains like Best Buy or CompUSA.

Silly Tokzic, Future Shop is a Canada only store chain!

Guess I was wrong in thinking it was in the US, it's absolutely huge in Canada. But the suggestion still stands - go to [insert generic American technology store here] with a notepad and go crazy. It works every time for me.

Yea, I'm in a similar prediciment.

Should I ask for Spider-man2 for PS2 and We Love Katamari? However good these games probably are, I haven't played either yet. They seem to sell for relatively cheap though (looks like about 20 bucks a pop for both), given that a few other games I was looking at were $50.

Besides that, it'll probably just be Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and a bunch of CDs or something. I'd love to get some Tshirts (like this pimpalicious one for instance), but my mom is mean and won't buy clothes for Christmas.

Why not get an IOU from your parents, that way, when you truly want something, you can use the IOU and get it.

Dont just buy something for the sake of buying something.

Or how about some goddamn Google stock? I told LD to buy stock in google. But did he listen? I dont know....I should as him.

[talisman]

don't buy stock in google... bad call. The easy money has already been made.

[Tokzic]

Afro reminded me about this.

As long as you have nothing better to buy, this is for you.

[Tasuke]

Flight volumes 1 and 2
And then, a Fearless Griggs comic
or maybe Sexy Voice and Robo
or some anime OST or something.

1) What

2) What

3) What

4) I download them seconds after I decide that I find the music in the show good enough to get the entire soundtrack. As if it's really easy to find these soundtracks in America.

5) Tokzic: Seems you're swingin' and missin' all over the place. I also hate Star Wars and do not have the necessary care to explain why right now. And there are no "Generic Electronic Stores" around here like the one you're describing. RadioShack is lame, Best Buy is lame, Circuit City is lame, etc. All of these stores have nothing to offer for me.

6) You can't ask for money. That just means you're stupid and can't even think of anything you want.

This is turning out the be the same as my last one. But please, keep going.

Well, I managed to put together a list for what I want. Maybe you could benefit off of this list, but I highly doubt it:

New bindings for my snowboard
Speakers for my car(no thumping gangsta speakers, just some new 6" speakers for my doors and back because one is blown out)
Guitar Hero for PS2
FFX for PS2(because i read the thread in general video games)
New winter jacket


..yeah

[Tokzic]

Okay, if I can't help by being vague, I'll risk being overly specific.

Watch? Wallet? Chain? Sunglasses? Headphones? Cologne?

1.) http://flightcomics.com/

2.) http://www.fearlessgriggs.com/ (but nevermind because as it turns out it won't be coming out till next year)

3.) http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/english/fes...exy_voice.html

and seeing how you don't seem to want anything, why don't you just ask for stuff you don't really need. And then sell it to people who might want it.

[NaOTa4231]

ipod 30 or 60 gb. (just got the 30gb even though i had a 20gb, i would definitely recommend it if it's not too much)

[MrGiggles]

I'm surprised no one thought of this.

Take Tokzic's suggestion, but turn that technology store into:
WALMART!
I've had many gifts come from there. Doesn't mean they were all great, but you could get ideas from there.
