Get their daughter a Barbie doll. Only costs $15 or so. But she's gonna need fifteen friends, accessories, cars, etc. Starting a doll fetish in their kid - priceless.

FR: I'm not sure that I'd give anyone a gift that I did not like. Nor do I understand the reason someone would, really. Firm

It's rare for Me not to come up with some redeeming quality for another person. A thought, perhaps. Have you considered Kenny G? LP, you're trying hard, but I don't think you're really getting into the swing of things on this thread. You need to get into the spirit of Christmas by searching hard within yourself for whatever misanthropy you have. Work with it, go with its flow. Think of partners of friends of yours, or those of brothers or sisters. Surely there's someone amongst those who really boils your bladder? However, I think that there's blood-red light at the end of the tunnel for you. Kenny G is inspired! Not, admittedly, in Cliff's class for sheer, vomit-inducing, almost-overpowering-need-to-chuck-a-brick-at-the-video-screen repulsiveness - but still a contender to be taken seriously for his ability to create an instant feeling of depression at the inherent tawdriness of the world. Carry on the good work!

FR Well, I had a horrible feeling shortly after starting this thread that lots of Americans would fall over each other in their eagerness to apprise me of the fact that I must have "issues". In response to such an observation, I would of course point out that I can't have "issues" because I'm not American. As a Brit I have problems. Whatever, this is precisely a thread for those who have problems, or issues, and those who don't have either I would politely ask to move on to a different thread. We want no balanced, warm and loving people here. We want misanthropes. Also, I don't think we should tolerate the view of e.g. FirmhandNY who opines: "I'm not sure that I'd give anyone a gift that I did not like. Nor do I understand the reason someone would, really." We should have no platform here for this kind of logical and reasonable nonsense. So, some more suggestions. First - is it still possible to buy posters of weeping boys? They're staggeringly tasteless and well worth giving to a friend's annoying teenaged daughter. Likewise that famous picture of the female tennis player scratching her arse. And any picture of dolphins frolicking in the sea. My father's got a clock that I'd love to find, if I could. It's a wall-clock with a pendulum. The Roman numerals on it are stuck-on transfers, and the six is where the twelve should be, and vice versa. It has a completely useless pendulum underneath - useless because it's a quartz, battery-powered clock. It has 'QUARTZ' in huge big letters, across its face. He loves this clock. Everyone else who looks at it shakes his or her head in wonder. It's the last word in bad taste. Actually, no it isn't. I was in a gift shop in the East End of London a while ago. There were various religious ornaments for sale, included in which were crucifixes, made of plastic sprayed with silver paint, mounted on wood-look stands. Some were plain crosses; others had a Jesus figurine on them. A customer was at the counter, enquiring about the prices. The old lady serving said, 'They're £4.99 each, or £5.99 for them ones with a little man on 'em ." I want one with a little man on it. I could nick a solid silver crucifix from the local church and leave that in its place. I know they'd thank me for it. Yes.

See, I don't consider giving the Grands toys like that as a can't stand thing, either. I do consider it a bit of fun revenge though. [8D]

Trains for boys? Not the same. Dads will enjoy those waaaay too much. LOL! Maybe a hand-held video gaming system? "Oh, I forgot to send the game itself. Darn!"

Why not give Lance as a gift? STOMP

At the same time, the one GIVING the gift gets to enjoy. <I'll be arriving at your house on Christmas morn'. Be afraid, be very afraid.>

LadyConstanze -> RE: Christmas presents for people you can't stand (12/24/2010 5:38:08 AM)
I don't really give mean gifts, if somebody pisses me off, I remove them from my life, where's the point in having idiots around? Though I have had some fun telling the kids of friends and family that they might want a cute pony, a drum set, etc. Just supplying them with ideas on how to annoy their parents...

Jaybeee -> RE: Christmas presents for people you can't stand (12/24/2010 6:31:14 AM)
Already did this 3 years back for a friend's wife who I utterly despise (and I know the feeling is mutual); an electric 2-in-1 jar+can-opener, monogrammed "To Gemma, From Jaybeee". Had her unwrap it in front of him, and it is still on her worktop, at least it was 3 weeks back. Too handy to throw away, too personalised to give away, and a constant thorn in the cunts side, as the text looms large every time it's used, and her visitors are always asking who "Jaybeee" is. :)

A giant poster of Helen Thomas. A giant poster of Barney Fwank. A giant poster of Opra Winfrey.

Anything from the local petrol station, making sure that the price tag is still on it. Superb!
