Im stuck with my christmas shopping, need some unique gifts/gift ideas!
Also- I want to get a gift that theyll remember for more than a month

I’m 2months pregnant is it too early to start shopping for the baby like getting t-shirts that boys and girls can wear, diapers, wipes, etc.?

It depends. I started shopping early…I had all this cute newborn stuff that I’d bought. I even thought ahead and figured that my son would be 9 months old during the winter, so I bought some larger size clothes because they were cute and on sale. I made the heinous mistake of washing EVERYTHING (including stuff I received at my baby shower) and getting the nursery all ready. My son was born 8 lb. 4 oz. and VERY long and none of his newborn stuff fit except a few t-shirts. THe onesies were too tight to snap at the crotch, the socks weren’t big enough for his feet, etc. He started out wearing size 3 months. The problem was, this was stuff I’d bought months before hand and it had already been washed and tags thrown away. Plus, most stores won’t honor refunds/exchanges if you bought it more than a month beforehand.

The same holds true for diapers…your baby might be really big or really small, and newborn diapers won’t fit. In that case, you can probably take the diapers back and exchange them, but I’d hold off on the clothes. There are some things you can get…all the bath products (towels, wash cloths, baby wash, nail files, combs, etc.) I’d wait a while on the clothes though.

the other day i saw a 10 year shopping there. !!
I thought Hollister was for high school and college kids

they don’t buy the nice, classy pieces anyways..
they buy the tacky, logo tees with H O L L I S T E R plastered all over the front that every girl/guy has. probably because that’s all they can afford at such a young age. but yeah Hollister is the california inspired, bright, fun, bubbly casual beach store– thats probably why it attracts so many pre-teens.. And Abercrombie & Fitch is actually the store for high school and college kids 17-24:]

There is a car in iron man, where Stark is working on it in his shop. The car is painted black, and has flames running down the sides. I believe it is in a different room from where he lands on the Shelby Cobra. What type of car is this?

The car in question is a 1930 Ford Roadster, on 1932 framerails. It has a flathead Ford V8 engine.

Do they have a foot fetish or something? What’s with this shoe thing? Any psychological or biological reason for this preference in women?

Shoes are wonderful because they don’t say anything about a woman’s body (except that you may have big/small feet). They don’t call any unwanted attention to problem areas as some clothes do, and you can often rely on them to fit consistently (unlike jeans, where two pairs of the same size can fit differently). Women like shoes because they look nice on you no matter what shape or size the rest of your body is. They also come in a wild array of colors and designs; the possibilities with mixing and matching are endless, and there’s always a new design to try.

Also, shoes have personality – some make you look tall and sexy, while others make you look adventurous and/or simply classic. Shoes are probably the easiest and most effective way to express ones individual fashion style.

My mom won’t let me use her credit card for online purchases, because she is afraid of stolen being stolen, or any of those other internet buying problems.But I want to buy a Visa Giftcaard so then I can buy it myself off the internet. But I am wondering if you can order stuff off the internet with a Visa Gift Card, and if sites like eBay will except it, or say that the card is not valid.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I just tried it on Runescape. Never thought it would work but it did. But it was just a test so i cancelled my membership. Well anyway, Most sites ask for the card holder name so be sure to put Gift Card Recipient or whatever the card says.

I’m 20wks and wondering if it’s too early to start getting all prepared and risk being overprepared. We’re having a baby shower and at my last shower 12 years ago I got HEAPS of stuff and hardly had to buy anything!

I would say get the big things that you have to have, like a crib and car seat (keep the receipts if you want) and then wait till after your shower buy what extras you need

The new bowing Obama action figure?

as funny as that would be, the money would go to obama, so no

Don’t take a man shopping….

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping. This letter was recently sent by Tesco’s Head Office to a customer in
Oxford:

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people’s trolleys when they weren’t looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3" in housewares….. and watched what happened.

5. August 14: Moved a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, "Why can’t you people just leave me alone?"

8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It’s those voices again."

And; last, but not least:

14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here."

Yours sincerely,
Charles Brown
Store Manager

Is the reason women like shopping is because they are interested in fashion?

because its not their money(money earned my their husbands or their boy friends)

they wont buy any useful items

only products related to their make up
