Usually we do a big group gift but this year my siblings abandoned me. Buttheads.
You want to meet the real me now?

Honestly, other than the kids, I wish we'd do that. Though for brother and SIL, more than happy to give cash or gift cards or buy specific needs. The rest of us, ehn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My parents are the pits to shop for. They have so much stuff. I just think about anything I'd buy them, and where it would go, and...my mind blanks. That's why my sister's travel purchases are so good. Otherwise I default to accessorising my mother and dressing my father, and neither of them need that.
I will have to look for OBs in the pharmacy tomorrow. Please don't fail me.

Somebody should write to Jezebel or somewhere and stir up a fuss about the OB crisis.
Marketing departments notice that sort of thing.

This is the hippo I bought for K: [link] Or from this store, but at a real life store for like $8 less! We've been singing that song for two weeks now so it's funny to get her a hippo!
And I bought body wash for her.
Me? I want one of these: [link]

I like getting presents for people. And I certainly like getting them. But, then again, my family is pretty good with presents and I've never had an extended family to buy for (except for the one year we were all in France).

I like doing presents when I like the presents. Otherwise, eh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm getting the kids a laptop. I'm tired of fighting them for time on my computer.

Do we know that the OB crisis is real? I've only seen things about the Ultra being discontinued, not the whole line.
