Ugh. I thought that I was totally boned. I'm meeting my friend Dave (not you, Dave K, this is some other Dave that you don't know) after work tomorrow night, and he mentioned that he was bringing my Christmas present.
I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't really like Dave, and I certainly don't need the hassle of rushing out and buying yet another gift, especially now that I thought all of my holiday shopping was FINALLY done. Dave's not the kind of guy I want to spend a lot of money on, either.
Usually I'd re-gift in this situation, but I actually like the gifts I got this year. Some problem, right? K-mart's got my back, though. There's a special going on now for last minute gifts from Kmart (although honestly, I'm not sure if I can say "last minute" in good conscience, since it's more like "post-Christmas").
They've got 25,000 gifts that are less than $25, which is about my price range for Dave. (They're also still running their layaway program, but I'm working on a very limited timetable, here.) They've got a craftsman toolbox that looks about right for Dave, and I can probably pick one up at Kmart on my lunch hour (real men don't wrap gifts, so I'm all set there).
I wish I was the kind of person who bought next year's Christmas presents in advance, because some of the other stuff they have would come in handy next December. If my son was a little older, I'd get him this toy chainsaw gift set because it's both totally cheap and totally awesome. You can never start them too young!
