Presents (for others)

[thesaintv12]

Model rockets - thoroughly enjoyed by every age, gender and culture I've tried them with (male/female of course, ages 5-60, but alas only Americans and Swiss for culture). Of course, typically people past a certain age aren't excited by them, but if it's a joint gift to a kid and a parent, the parent will force herself to go out and launch with the kid. And then go WOW!

Thanks you just solved the missing present for my youngest lad!

Too late RC. He already has two.

@Bill,

I have to say, the domain idea went over very, very well.  I had no idea what to get my sis and her fiance, so I got them a domain of their new last name, set it up with mail and a quickie wordpress site with an easy-to-configure template.

I gave them a box which only had their names and password next to them on a card and when they looked at me with the "What is this" look, I brought out my laptop with the site already pulled up on it.  They were very happy.

Have a look:  http://www.jacknowitz.com

You saved my butt!  Thank you!  (Yes, that is Leonard Nimoy in the Star Trek picture.  Reload if you don't see it...)

Well done Heather, and brilliant idea bill.

@grnidone  I'm very glad to hear that worked out for you. It's a favorite old trick I've used several times for my less than technically inclined friends. It's always a hit. They would never know how to set something like this up on their own and they think it's a huge undertaking. Glad to see that the .com of their name was available. That makes it extra special.

Ha! You buy the gun, I'll buy the spray paint:)

Btw, I just got a 'Crimson Trace' red dot sight on my Beretta (it's actually integrated into the grip - you barely notice it) from my dad:) I took it to the range yesterday, along with that 590 he bought me, and killed paper zombies with it. It was outstanding. I want one for the shotgun.
