What are you getting for those impossible to please
people on your holiday gift list? I'm totally stumped and in a foul mood, as well.

7. Make them a gift certificate, offering your time for
whatever service they might need. Does one of them have kids? Offer a night of babysitting.
Big house to clean? Offer an afternoon of housekeeping. Yard to mow? Offer a day of yard work.

They'll bitch either way but they are more likely to see the practicality of offering a service than a present they will never use.

8. Nothing at all.
Why would you embark on a mission of certain failure? If they are impossible to please then why not try pissing them off? That ought to be easy enough.
I suggest you just don't include them on your gift list. At least they would remember what you gave them for christmas of '05!

9. A picture of my ass in a gold frame.
Well, I've been tempted to, anyway. There are a few people on my list that are always ridiculously impossible. I usually give them something baked and something involving pictures.:shrug:

12. I was just thinking about getting some, after reading the absinthe thread.
We both like it, so I should give it a try.
