Well, that's an odd problem

[brynndragon]

My parents (being more observant than I) have noticed that they failed to give me a birthday present this year. So they've got a budget of approximately $100 with which to get me something(s) while I'm down here. I have very little idea what to ask for - go on a book buying spree? Hunt down something electronic? Ask for it as cash?

Got any advice on what I should ask for? Alternatively, what would you do in my position?

I like that idea a lot, but my dad can't stand the shopping process even insofar as what you suggest. We've been spending a lot of time together while I'm down here anyway, so I'll end up going with my mom instead.

Chair massages or something similarly relaxing, especially if it buys you some quiet time. Or maybe that was just an issue with my family sometimes.

That totally makes sense, but I ended up opting for the Wii Fit since that's what they were going to get me for Christmas but couldn't find it, and since it's just one thing we're all going to go to the store to get it (including my brother, who we're going up to Philly to see tomorrow anyway).

Sounds like fun - enjoy!
