for xmas 2004 I went to toys'r'us (first time ever and last) and just bought the most ridiculous items I could find. I figured the chances of me buying something that someone would actually like was pretty low so I played up the look-at-it-pretend-to-like-it-never-use-it-store-in-a-cupboard-for-a-year-or-two-before-throwing-it-out idea. They got a laugh which was better than an awkwardly and rather unbelievable thanks :-/
