Christmas shopping

There goes my budget.

I have started my Christmas shopping.

Most folks I buy presents for are so so hard to find something for.

Try buying gifts on eBay. And don't let sellers scam you by burying
their profit margin in shipping and handling charges. In Canada
lettermail has to be less than 3/4" thick, but in the U.S. the
definition of lettermail includes small parcels and it rarely costs
more than $3 to mail something under a pound from Maine to California.
If purchasing a paperback book, CD, or DVD as a gift, you should be
able to get it media mailed for less than $1. Lots of eBay sellers in
the U.S. are happy to giftwrap and tag an item for a small extra
charge, and a number have done it for me for free; and there's no
issue with shipping directly to the gift recipient. Heck, at Christmas
2006, I exchanged gifts with a guy in the U.K. that way. He bought me
something sold in Canada and I bought him something sold in England.

I think old people are the hardest to buy gifts for. When all else
fails, candles are good gifts.
