SteveDallas gift suggestions
I have an Amazon gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. I'm not sure what to get with it. Make a suggestion. Ideal suggestions would be something you think I might like but wouldn't think of. What I actually expect will be sarcastic, smartass suggestions, hence some amusement value.
Price range: US$30-$50. Knock yourselves out. |

I'd keep your options open and just buy yourself a gift card with it.

When I was given an Amazon Cert I got myself an MP3 player. But you're probably not as far behind the times as I am and so already have one.

down? wtf you talking about buddy? Amazon is always up, up, up!
Books, movies, and music--that's a no-brainer. Things I've bought from Amazon recently: vitamins, a tire gauge and steering wheel cover for my car, a swimsuit, kid's toys, a watch, pet stuff, an ipod, lube, office supplies, software. And books, movies, and music galore! ETA: I inspired a new title for myself

How old is granddaughter number 1?
I was recommending it for SteveDallas, who is an adult. It's recommended for 10 and up, but a younger child could play with assistance. |

How about some nice Uranium Ore? or Stink Bombs (you can get several packs of these -bargain!). Or maybe the slightly more expensive, but undoubtedly more classy Liquid Ass spray? or before we move away from the derriere... This. OK moving on.... some French Vanilla Goat Whey? That'll about wipe you out, though. Maybe a Sexy Diva leather choker in a larger plus size?
