Allrounder Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 My brother in law two days before christmas says "oh...no need to get me anything..." In other words, he had not bothered to get anything for us yet and wanted to get let off the hook. I had already bought him an awesome gift weeks ago. So boxing day he rocks up and we give him his gift...and he is all surprised. What did he expect? Not everyone leaves their shopping till the last minute. This oke is lucky that he is funny and that he is familyNext year he is getting a big bag of coal. [emoji14]Lekker braai tyd.
blondeonabike Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 You know it's very unfair on us men as we're not allowed by law to start xmas shopping before 24th Dec. ps what did you get him?I got him this so he can do the juice/smoothie thing. He is on a major health buzz at the moment. I normally don't do kitchen stuff for guys.
Boerklong Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Not for Christmas but I have wrapped a couple of golf prizes up on last minute that made pretty good gifts
T-Bone Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I got one of those gel padded saddle covers from Game from a non-cyclist. Always wondered who buys them.
GLuvsMtb Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I got a moe'se hamper at work from one of our service providers (biscuits, 3 boxes of chocolates, nougats, nuts, wine, bubbly, biltong and sweets all from Woolies). I kept the nuts and biltong and wrapped the rest as gifts for the postman and the adults in the family as something small to hand out as we usually don't buy each other gifts (the kids all get a substantial gift from mommy and daddy and small gifts or clothes from uncles, aunts and grand parents).
V12man Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Some shirt that looks like a pimp might wear. .. and is at least 1 size too big from my brother in law... might even fit Dips... despite being a good brand it is moving swiftly on... The set of Park tool T bar hex keys from my wife is staying put.

Spokey Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Lekker braai tyd.[/quote Perhaps next year there is buggar all electricity, then the charcoal is a great and thoughtful gift. Edited, should have replied to blondeonabike, or a multi reply, eeisshhh finger trouble induced by a little vino!
Tumbleweed Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I got him this so he can do the juice/smoothie thing. He is on a major health buzz at the moment. I normally don't do kitchen stuff for guys. I hope he doesn't put the ingredients on the right into the smoothie thingie...

Going back to my dad. (I have a very sensitive skin so have to test a soap before I am going to use it. Not the first time either. They got me some deodorant last year with some from of au de toilette crap, that gave me severe headaches and a severe rash when sprayed. At least we gave them a very expensive fruit cake and two coloring books (Enchanted Forest)

I'd also be trying to get rid of him if I was getting fruit cake (but maybe that's just me because I hate the stuff )
Cois Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Maybe they are telling you something !!!!!!!!Well my father told me to fu(k off last week. So yeah, I know I am not up to the standard of my brother that works overseas for €
Wendy Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 We usually don't do big Christmas gifts with the outlaws, its usually a shirt and some chocolates or some such and only when we are together. This year was one of those occasions and as I am the ONLY one in the family who enjoys an alcoholic bevy (wine), one of my gifts was a whole 6 pack of "wine in a glass" Its a new thing I've seen lately. Thankfully I do have a friend who will drink this "wine in a glass" and so I took the lot to her on New Years. So I re gifted wine. Never thought I'd see the day
