Hey guys, I'm sure I'm not the only one here with this dilemma, but I need need to buy several presents for people for Xmas and don't have any ideas >_<

Can you think of any general gifts I could buy people i.e candles, picture frames? Still need to get about 4 more pressies and the 25th of December keeps getting closer and closer!

Cheers for the comments guys. As for naked girl shaped lighters, I dunno if my girlfriend's parents would appreciate one!

If only I had £1 for every post I've made on the forum- that way I could actually afford Xmas for once!

Interesting suggestions.

Jats- Her parents buy me stuff, so it'd be rude not to reciprocate (I really don't like her mum though so it feels weird giving her a gift!)

Dan- sorry to hear about your g/f, but at times like these, I'm sure it's for the best.

- A picture? For the amount of time It takes me to draw anything decent, It'd work out cheaper to buy them a Car or something But it's not a bad suggestion. I will definitely consider it for next year. I think my g/f's brother would appreciate my sort of art, so perhaps he'll be getting a frames print or something come next xmas.

Lol @ ninja sword. True, she wouldn't be expecting that! I've actually bought her gifts this year - one down, 5 to go!

I was thinking about picking a air brush up, since i do so much painting it might be a good investment 4 me ? tho there are so many brands 2 choose from and stuff.

I always wanted and airbrush, and persuaded my school to get a decent one, but I never actually used it in the end! I think it scared the teachers 'cos they didn't have a clue how to operate it. I've actually got a pretty decent book on airbrushing- mainly examples with a few techniques explained, but some of the effects you can achieve look great. I guess for now I'll just have to stick with the digital variety- less clogging

In the end I bought the Girlfriend's parent's a Xmas hamper (basket filled with food, chocolates and stuff) was gonna get them a house plant, but think I'll save that idea for next year I even ended up getting a gift for my GF's nan! - She got me a Japanese Genso Suikoden game soundtrack! lol

Also got a Hyung Tae Kim art book, a Burne Hogarth drawing book, a cool zip-up jumper, a new Swiss army knife (/w built-in torch), Silent Hill 4 (completed it over Xmas- cool), Project Zero (Survival Horror game, dunno if it's any good) and the weirdest gift was probably a Japanese Netsuke featuring 3 mice.

Xmas was good this year as my girlfriend and I went away on holiday for a week and stayed in this cool little house out in the country where most days we just chilled, watched TV, DVDs and played games

Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
