Christmas Present For A Man
Christmas Present For A Man
It is December again, and along with it comes the unenviable task of buying hoards of presents for the most celebrated holiday of the year. Purchasing gifts for people may come easy to some, more difficult for others, but I find buying a Christmas present for a man by far the easiest. It may seem difficult at first, but if you follow some simple rules of thumb, buying a man something he will love, and use, can take absolutely no time at all.
Firstly, you must work under the assumption that most men are not concerned with you buying the perfect gift. If you buy them any gift at all, they are going to be pleased that you have remembered. They will not narrow their eyes and purse their lips if you buy them a red shirt instead of blue (unless they totally loathe red), they will just be over the moon that you thought of getting them a shirt in the first place. A Christmas present for a man need not necessarily need to be the best piece of techno-gadget or most expensive cologne - it really just has to be something he thinks he can use at some time or another.
In all honesty, buying a Christmas present for a man may take some ingenuity and perception, but it really just requires that you listen and notice. Men don't normally drop hints if they want a present - they are usually very obvious about it. This may mean that they stare longingly for hours at a fishing pole in the window shop, or they complain loudly that the world would be a better place if they could just find a pair of boxer shorts that fit them. This is not guile either, it is merely them wishing they could have something and stating it out loud. Sure, there are exceptions to this rule, but nine times out of ten men are really happy to receive a great pair of socks or a new tie they have been meaning to buy since they were eighteen.
Next, if a woman is thinking of buying a Christmas present for a man, they should not concern themselves with quality over quantity. Buying a lot of little gifts may be preferable than putting one's eggs all in one basket, and my boyfriend has been over the moon to find that he has received three little presents rather than merely one. I could buy him a pair of socks, a pair of boxers and a shirt and he will be utterly flabbergasted. Ultimately, as the holiday season approaches, a woman who is totally at a loss about buying a Christmas present for a man should merely do one of two things. She can ask him directly or she can ask his friends. It is probable that she would get two honest answers.
CHRISTMAS PRESENT?????????????????
I want to get my dad a present for Christmas. I'm only 13 so my budget is pretty low........ but I will try. my dad is a creative guy and works out like every morning. He has enough suits, ties, fancy dude stuff ext. he probably doesn't need clone.... I would like something either funny, or something he can use every day. (he works in an office)
For the office: one of those picture frames that scrolls through pictures? These can be expensive but some are REALLY cheap. Look in Walgreen's or go on amazon.com.
Or make him something. Parents LOVE this. Trust me, I know. 
I turn to mush over anything hand-made by my children.

Sydney I have a post coming that should tie a few things together for you. The question isn't so much how it was run but how much graft it involved. 2 rules of thumb to keep in mind that are true in many places including Mississippi. Garbage and dirt + government generally = graft and corruption.
Stay tuned as I am writing the post that will make certain events make a bit more sense – none of this comes from Whitmergate BTW but I too am very interested in hearing Whitmergate's take.

I like "rules of thumb" . They give us a chance to put things in perspective.
Which "perspective" is really the reason for the crisis.
Age is just a number and maybe this kind of crisis will go away with increased longevity
and a reassessment of our expectations, status, and success.
Maybe the peers cause the crisis as much as the individual them selves?
Maybe it skips a generation? I hope I am not one of the 10 percent.
who took my pair of socks
will need these details :- your full name, ic, address, phone number, how many pair of socks, colour (white /blue/black)
The rule of thumb is common throughout British history, but the idea of it being aplied to the dimensions of a stick is a popular feminist myth created by FEMINIST Del Martin in 1976.
Sorry CC, the populist use of the term does derive from this feminist belief.
There is a discredited claim that Justice Sir Francis Buller applied this law in his career (18th century), he never did, let alone used that term for it. References to it in law have all been to discredit and deny it's validity.
There were rules, called rules of thumb for:
-Eponential growth rates in finance (Rule 72)
-There was a builder's rule for rough measurements. This most probably the true origin.
-A Tailor's rule where the circumference of the thumb could be used to determine wrist, neck and waist measurements. These are surprisingly accurate physicalk ratios
-Training standards: often called a rule of thumb for capability, used in the US, UK, Australia and other places, especially for hazardous materials, but not exclusively.
-Ettiquette, for formal place settings.
- Beer brewing, to check wort temperature.
P.S.
Wouldn't you rather “dump” on a turkey?
there's also a Santa, a leprechaun, a snowman and a scare-crow…looks like we're set for the next 5 christmas presents for mom.
