What's the best gift you're giving someone this year? Hanukkah is already over so i can report

[Eppy99]

on the crap I've already given. Honestly my gift giving kinda sucks.

1) Oldest daughter prefers gift cards for her favorite clothing store and I got her some books and a bunch of sheet music for the Beatles and Queen for piano.

2) Middle daughter is in middle school so I bought her some clothes and books

3) Youngest daughter got a new softball bat, helmet, backpack for the gear and some batting practice contraption that allows her to practice by herself outside or in the basement. Also got her some books

4) The wife and I usually don't exchange much as we prefer to take trips, but I always like buying her books to encourage her to get away from work and enjoy a good read.

I'm not going to "drop in" for an unexpected visit anywhere. I hope no one shows up here either.
Bah humbug!

I didn’t actually buy it but a female friend of mine was asking what kind of gift to give to her son in law. She said he was a douche bag (her words, not mine) so I told her to give him a POS Roomba. I haven’t heard how that worked out though.

I hear roombas are great gifts

You were right - you suck at gifts.

Books?

The 1990s called.
But they used a cell phone and missed you

I was taken to a massage parlour in Surabaya, Indonesia many years ago, where my business partner used vouchers/raffle-like ticket torn away from a booklet to pay at the front counter.
That would make quite a good gift.

Don't worry, I got the page and found a pay phone.

Look my kids love books as does my wife. They will sit in a bookstore for hours just looking at books and reading through them. We go to the public library every two weeks and fill the bag. There's some stupid shit in that bag, but I don't mind them reading over the crap that's on television.

I didn't know you could get a groupon for such services. You might have to settle for the trainee.
