Re: Wordless Wednesday
M's gift, he has NO idea (for once) about something I got him...PSP Go and a $50 Playstation Network card so he can buy games to put on it, then I also got him Bose in-ear headphones. I got him more but these are his "big" gifts that he has no idea about.
It's called a Drift Spin Knob.
It is for when DH is drifting his car and he uses the E-brake, he won't have to keep the button pushed in it will stay pushed in so when he lets go of it, it will just drop instead of locking up the brakes totally. But you can push the new button out and it will still work as an e-brake. I don't know if that made any sense but DH will love it and it only cost me $7.50.
A new microwave for my parents. They are still using their first microwave from 1987 or something. It's definitely time for a new one! They have no clue we got anything like this for them.
Last year our big joke was that my younger sister really wanted scented candles for her room, but she had just moved back in with our parents and my step mom didnt think that she was responsible enough to have "live fire" in her room. The funny part was that she was pregnant at the time (by a married man) and her reasoning that she should be able to have candles was that she was going to be a mom. We kept saying that her current situation did not prove her responsibility and she had no idea what we were talking about. This year I got her flameless vanilla scented candles (she still lives at home and still isnt allowed to have real ones). Um. wow, that totally wasn't wordless....
ha!!!

You guys are going to think I'm weird, but I bought this t-shirt for my husband for Christmas:
I'm cheating and doing two. My dad has been talking about this anise soap he tried at a hotel in London for over a decade. He hasn't been able to find it in the states, but I found a vendor on etsy (from the town next to wear I grew up - weird!)
This is the description from the etsy seller:
"LOCAL (Cow on Wheels. Don't go too far, know where your meats are.)
Grass fed and roaming free. (No tight quarters here!) Supporting local farmers is a key to sustainability. Buying local foods offers great society experiences and also a chance to explore recipes."
I also got him a book on backyard homesteading. I know, we're super cool.
Mine isnt nearly as good as this. But it's the thought that counts haha.
My grandfather used to use that kind of soap!!!!!
Ity was ther cheapest thing I bought DH, but this will make him the happiest! And he wont expect ti casue he knows I hate the X Box!
