Okay. I'm sending out my annual plea, because it's five days till Christmas and I haven't bought even one present. >.< I don't know what ANY of them are going to be (except Catherine's, because she's getting chocolate, obviously.) So in traditional style, I'm going to plead:

What do I get two boys, aged 14 and nearly-16, for Christmas?

I don't want to get them balls again (As in Cricket- and soccer-, oh ye of dirty minds) and I can't think of any good books, although recommendations in this area too would be well-met. Budget is fairly limited but not EXTREMELY so. No computer games, and I just got Hedley the first Sandman collection for his birthday so don't say Gaiman. Um. I really need help with this. Boys are impossible to buy for.

Also, of course, I need to know RIGHT NOW what you want, Meg. RIGHT NOW. And what to get Janie and Claire. (Small stuff I think.) And, and, who else do I need stuff for? OMG FREYA. What do you get an eleven-year-old girl who, well, needs to lose a little weight (ie not books, games or chocolate)? Um, elastics? Knucklebones? Many of the above?

1. Grandma- ginger chocolates
2. Grandad
3. Nanna??
4. Freya
5. Rewi
6. Hedley
7. Mum and Dad... Was going to get dad this cricket book but need to club together with other kids for that...
8. Lucy
9. Meg.
10. CLARA. SO HARD. OMG.
11. Catherine- also chocolate
12. Jenni- no, actually, I got hers already (I was going to give it to you at Leavers', tart, but forgot and I still need your mailing address down there!)
13. Um... Janie and Claire
14. I know there are other people. >.< Ellie!
15. JOJO how could I forget? Something funny. ;)

Hey you said you'd be getting me something ^_^ But I mustn't be greedy. Get them food. Everybody likes getting food.

Yeah, I am, but I know what it is so I don't need to put you down. :p

Cooleos. I still say, things like chocolate, toffee, licorice, all good for people who you're not sure what they'd want. Get them lollies you know they like ^_^ (Avoids incidents like last year when, on a $20 budget for everyone I got my brother a Simpsons comic because he read a lot of them back then, and the very same day he came home with the same issue!)

I'm gutted when that happens. :P

Yeah, I know.

Gee I wonder who they are, At that card playing nerd place in James Smith there are Jimi Hendrix action figures for Rewi (I cant rember how much they are but not above $40) as for Hedly I have no Idea.

Hmmmm..... thanks, man.

RAWR RAWR, honey. You know you love me.

Anything but kink toys, ok? They creep me out.

*snerk*

...okay, well, since I wasn't planning a trip to Vivian St any time soon that doesn't present a problem. :P

Whooo! What an exciting idea! Actually, once I was waiting by Real Groovy and guys thought I was a prostitute. I was wearing a big winter coat, too.

Um, well. If you're feeling rich, I have been lusting after the Romeo and Juliet DVD on sale (for $20) at the CD Store on Lambton Quay. If you're not that rich, um, like, a book voucher for Dymocks. I'm saving for the most fantastic book ever, although it is expensive, and if the money is in book vouchers then I can't spend it anywhere else.

*dies* because, you know, you LOOK like a prostitute. *giggles stupidly*

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. *has Ideas* Why are you so much easier that Meg and Lucy? Huh? Huh?

Oh yes, *poses* it must have been my eyeliner.

Because you know them too well.

*snort*

*sigh* probably. I keep thinking of good ideas and bad ideas, and then thinking that there must be something they'd want more, and AUGH.

Ask them, stupid.

Durr, I have, they are singularly incommunicative. *eyeroll*

What, so they just didn't reply or did they say something non-commital like: think of it yourself.

Give Lucy a Greek textbook. Or a Russian one. She wants to learn Russian?

They'd probably be, like, a zillion dollars- yeah, she does want to learn russ. Actually, that gives me an idea for Meg, so thanks, darling!

I'm so clever. *smooches*
