I suppose I could just go on E bay and buy stuff, hoping it's delivered in time for Xmas eve. I'm surely not the only pimps member who goes into panic mode around about this time of year. One year I couldn't think of anything to buy for my uncle & aunt, and as they usually buy me a combined present from them both, I decided to return the favour and bought an Xbox and some games - I said the Xbox was for my uncle and the games were for my aunt. Come Xmas day, my aunt burst out crying when she got her present - however my uncle was pretty chuffed :-).
Generally my family don't give m a hard time about the rubbish presents they get, as I do quite a bit for them during the year and randomly buy them things and do DIY jobs, so that gets me off the hook a little bit.
I'd like to hear other pimps stories, on crap presents bought, stress levels etc..... that will cheer me up knowing that I'm not alone with my (annoyance) about Xmas and the whole present scenario.
