I like this game because it forces you to think about what you can get for a specific person for $75 that they will like.
Makes sense to me, especially when there is a bunch of people to buy for.

We've just done a secret Santa at work - exchanged at the party on Sunday (I didn't go, poorly and so was my secret Santa) So anyway the limit was $20 - I went over (a little bit $25) but my Santa went over ALOT, now I feel bad

My OH will probably buy himself what I have just bought him at the estate sale we are planning on going to on sunday....

I want Thomas Sabo charms for my bracelet and a bonus would be a nano and arm strap for running

Edit: BUT I'll be over the moon if Santa sent us our PPR *pleasepleaseplease*

I play roller derby - we are only allowed to wear quad skates, not blades!

I think blades would be completely alien to me now and I'd face plant

saw a set of 2 wine glasses for $23 in the ducks unlimited catalogue. They are the stainless steel camping ones with Realtree camo pattern on them (obviously for the more upper class hunter, when beer in a can is sooooooo last year!!!!!)

Can't find em online but would like them

Seriously though, I'd love to be sitting with my older brother in a pub in Tiverton having a few pints but, even if I went to the expense, he probably wouldn't go... people change whereas we don't

funny, that's what I thought of when I saw the skates! I would love to try that. It looks like a whole lot of fun.
