@Name of Numbers: The OP stated in option number 3 that he was talking about a SO. "3. If you have no. freaking. clue. what to get your s.o., take them to their favorite kind of store ...". Your rebuttal was to point 3. Is it really a stretch to assume you were talking about a SO? Really? When the OP was talking about…

@Honoguma: Haha, it's not so bad. Just trying to point out that I don't think age has anything to do with it. XD

@Honoguma: Don't feel bad. I was born a decade before you and never got such things for Christmas. I got a SNES handed down to me in 1996 from my mother's cousin... and then the next console I got was a PlayStation that I bought myself sometime around 2000. My PS2 was the only game console I got for Christmas - in…

@linkgx1: I'd say you could use gift cards before you get a house... try an apartment! I live in an apartment, but saws, hammers, screws, stains, paint, sanding equipment, shelving, and wood have all come in handy in one way or another in the past few years. :)

Necessities. Things like new jeans, socks, possibly a set of pans for the kitchen. Maybe a book or two.

@linkgx1: Sorry, I just snorted my coffee imagining you as a ladder after you just said you hate home depot... :)

@Name of Numbers: If your significant other is uncomfortable buying sex toys around you, I hate to tell you but you've got problems...

I think it depends on the situation - is it a secret santa from work that you don't know to well? Is it your 12 year old cousin that you see twice a year? What about your parents, aunts, or uncles? There's people that I would buy a gift card for, and there's people that I wouldn't. Any immediate family I wouldn't…

@McMike: I laughed. :)

@bkord123: You get the free shipping only if you order selected items. I found this out the hard way yesterday, too. :(

@y2kenjination: I liked it too. I do wish there were more traditional aspects to the game (stopping at inns, talking to city-dwellers, etc) but for what it was, it wasn't bad. The linearity was one of the things I liked about the game, actually — I could FINISH the game without getting distracted by a billion…

@Anonymous: Wow. Glad I'm not part of your family.

@IMoriarty: We have a teeeny tiny apartment (1 bedroom/500 sq. ft.), and a ton of DVDs. The problem comes in when you only have so much space to store stuff, and we don't have the room to put our DVDs on display. So, we took an old laptop (it's good for pretty much nothing, being 5+ years old at this point) and threw…

@pfc.joker: Yeah, I got that too. First they sent an e-mail saying that I needed to change my PW, and then LATER they sent an e-mail saying that I didn't really NEED to change my PW, but that I shared an e-mail address with an account in the gawker leak, so they thought that it was a good idea to disable my account…

@Intelli: That's exactly what I was thinking. Or, as an alternative: Their name, in different fonts on each line. So, their name cut out of paper with their name on it. :)

@Squirrelbot3000: Oh. I don't really drink soda, so I didn't know. I thought that the 'expiration date' on soda was like the expiration date on other food... a suggestion only. I guess I learned something new!

@dissolved: Coke goes bad?

VOTE: Wishpot

@Euclidean: Why should I care any less about fish than I should about any other animal? Because they aren't cuddly and they can't lick your face? Or because your average fish isn't on the endangered species list?

@Frequenter: Oh, good! It's always better to be preaching to the choir than to not say anything at all and let ignorance beget terrible conditions.
