My mom has been bugging me as she likes to buy stuff months in advance. I'm the last present on her list.
Any ideas?
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

My mom did the same thing to me. I'm still thinking, although I did come up with a few suggestions after visiting a quilt show this weekend. I'm still at a loss as to what my big present should be.

No... Mom is HORRIBLE at buying me gifts. Two years ago she got me a BREAD MAKER. Which would suck pretty bad but sucks more since she forgot I'm allergic to live yeast.

Cos that then opens the joke oppurtunity of her getting him nothing, and then when he asks about it, her telling him that he told her to suprise him.
I need to work on my pronouns dont I?

Even when you splash sterilising solutions about the place.
I think you should ask for a pigeon-startling device of your very own, so you can beat the little blighters at their own game.

Coleman, that is ingenious... funny and so very twisted...

Do you know how difficult it is to go shopping on the few days before and the few after Xmas? That's the only time I'll be seeing my parents this year, and there is no way they are going to drag me to a shopping place full of crowds trying to buy stuff and then trying to return the stuff they didn't like. It's MUCH easier to just give a specific list beforehand...now, just to figure out what that list is

You don't necessarily need yeast to make bread.
You do in a bread maker. At least the kind she got me. And I'd much rather pay someone 99p to make the bread for me and give the yeast time to die.
And Coleman, give my mom back her porn please.

To you belong to any technical societies? Maybe your mother could renew your yearly membership to one of them? I know you are a chemistry teacher, so maybe you belong to a chemistry one?
Are there any magazines she could get you a subscription to? Think of things you'd normally buy yourself, and then let her instead.

No.
Reading is for suckers and nerds.

1. A membership in WNYC (do your part for actual news as opposed to Republican press releases). Conveniently, this can be at any $ level she wants; for some, you can get a nice messenger bag to carry your poi stuff in.
2. A subscription to Mother Jones, or Democratic Socialist (except I think you have to actually join DSA to get that second one). I know you think reading is for suckers and nerds (um...) but these are Good Causes too.
3. More of those nice slow-changing glowballs. What was that URL again? (Dig.)
4. Plates. The spinning kind, not the eating kind.
5. A Borders or Barnes & Noble or Amazon gift card. Again, her choice of $, but you get to pick the gifts. And they all sell music and movies as well as books.
6. A Toys 'R' Us gift card. Come on, you know you want it!
7. An XM radio and sub. That way you can listen to Bob Edwards if you care.
8. A membership in the ACLU. Not quite as wide a range of $ options, but ranges from affordable to expensive. They're going to need lots of members for the upcoming fights. If you're already a member, tell her to donate to them (or the Sierra Club, or...you get the idea) in your name.
9. The complete series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer on DVD. What? You're not a Buffy fan? How can such a thing be?
10. Some kind of food thing that she can get where she lives, but that you can't get where you are. For me it used to be Vernor's, a ginger-ale-like substance I grew fond of in Michigan. Not available for love na money where I live now.

If you ventured to a mall in Houston a few days before, or a few days after, I think you'd see what I mentioned. Small town life has its good points at times.

All of New York City is a freakin' madhouse starting the Friday after Thanksgiving. Macy's a few days before Christmas (shudder) -- my idea of hell.
