How To Buy Christmas Presents For A hard To Buy For Person!!??

[NatashaDisneyCM]

I am near finished, and all wrapped for gifts for my daughter, grandson and new son in law. He is a very HARD person to buy for! I asked my daughter every question, He is IT and plays in a up and raising band. He has a couple of interests, to which I already bought for. He like I mentioned is in a band, he builds his own computers, my DD and I are Apple people, he is not. DD said No to any ipod type thing, no windows 7, does not use it.....I am lost!! I just wrapped everything and he needs more! I got a good amount on a GC for Home depot, 2 PJ bottoms, in black with skulls...oh yah, he is and only wears black with no print shirts....so I got black and a gray 3 button Henley's. to go with the Pj's. Got him a vegan cookbook. and a digital frame!

does anyone have any other ideas besides Gift cert?
I have to ship these packages, so I have been on a deadline and size and weigh limit also!
thanks!!!

oh, I did do stockings for all three of them. that was a bit easier!

You might take a look at http://www.thinkgeek.com. They have lots of geeky toys and shirts that might appeal to someone in IT. I got my DH (who is an engineer) the Shrodinger's Cat shirt and I got StepFIL (who is in IT and a bit antisocial) a shirt that says, "You read my shirt. That's enough social interaction for one day."

haa, thanks, I looked at that site, and saw stuff I have!! but I am not a geek! lol, I think I can find a tee~shirt on there thou, thanks!!

 

[OK!]

I know you said "besides gift cards," but one to a place like Best Buy or something might be good. Even if he can't find techy stuff he wants there, he could always use it on music or movies or appliances or whatever. Good luck!

Gourmet candies, nuts, snack items, coffees?

Does he have a favorite football team? How about a jersey or shirt?

 

[Mkrop]

yes how about tickets some where, or a gift card (I know you said no but...) to a local convience store or Starbucks, favoritite resturant etc.

I already got these. I had to make sure everything soap and shampoo included, that it is vegan. No football with him, your talking heavy, hard hitting rock band here! lol Tattoo;s from head to toe. I did get a name as to a store where he likes black tee shirts from thou, I got to see if I can find them online,
called american apparel?
I got a Best buy and target jGC for the stocking. and I just found out the digital frame I got was a "Go" from my DD. so I think I am good now! thanks for your help everyone! I really like that think greek website! the periodic table shower curtain cracks me up!! ( I am a chemist)...lol

What type of guitar does he play? Electric, bass? I'm guessing not so much acoustic. LOL If you can find out what gauges of strings he uses or what picks he uses these are always needed by musicians and are not that $$$. You could do a guitar care stocking and put some guitar cleaner/polish in it, with a good polish cloth, the picks, strings, and other accessories he might use. If you need help with ideas let me know, I work for a guitar accessory mfr and work with a lot of musicians. I'd be happy to help you out with that.

Does he drink? what about a beer of the month club?

Sounds like you might have it all though.

I work at a co where four of the guys are in a metal/alternative band. The guitarist had picks made with his name on them to hand out at shows, strings are used by the bass player like crazy, and coors light is loved by all. My dh only wears dark skull style shirts. Target is a good place to find them, including solids. A couple other guy ideas: a GPS, good low-cut socks, tickets to see his fave band, favorite cologne, ...
