Since no one nibbled at the other thread, I'll try a new approach.<P>I don't pick out gifts for my x. I tell the children how much money they have to spend and then let them choose where to go and what to get. Find it far less painful for me.<P>Anyway, last year they dragged me all over, and I do mean all over, Target - my favorite discount store. When the shopping was finished, they had settled on three items.<P>- a disposable 35 m.m. camera (despite the fact he has a cheap one they gave him - plus a digital camera)<BR>- a small candle<BR>- a package of Oreos.<BR> <BR>

Milk? Cute.<P>Cinderella, I do the same thing you do (Xmas too), especially since I figure he's not MY father. <P>Last year it was:<BR>- white monogrammed hankerchiefs, wrong letter <BR>- a mustache trim & wax set (definitely needs but won't use)<BR>- clown umbrella<P>

Pay for it but don't pick it is the only way to go. I'm ready to give them the money and let them deal with it all as long as I go to supervise only. <P>Christmas was Santa Claus socks and tie - bear in mind that he wears a tie at most once a week and he has about 3 or 4 Christmas ties and he got that gift on Christmas Day.<BR>
