I saw a few things at Costco that I thought Daddy would like, but I am keeping my mouth shut about it... and I have to get a job before I buy anything for anyone... You know what is always a nice thought? Getting someone something that they are missing from a set. For example my mom has these great mixing bowls that were given to her when she got married years ago, two were broken. The whole set is highly collectible and can sell for 300 dollars if in great shape. I bought her the bowls on ebay so her set is complete now (and I replaced them for under 50 bucks). Her china set is missing the gravy bowl, so I might get her that this year.... My Daddy mentioned that he needs a certain bicycle seat to restore this collectible bike from when he was a kid... I am going to look for it (but I wonder how likely I will be to find it...sighs). I think these things make the greatest gifts because they show you really thought of someone. I bought my former dom an antique book for his birthday because he mentioned this book and that his dad had given it to him, but a former girlfriend ended up with it... so I found it for him... Ebay is a great place to shop for Christmas
