Sister & lame ass brother in law

Love this. My sister's marrying a pretty lame kid next year and I'm kinda bummed about it. I was always very vocal about how I thought she could do A LOT better when they were dating haha. Now sis is holding a grudge against me because of some crap I said about the kid like a year ago. It's pretty stupid. How do you deal?

I try my best to avoid him. He doesn't hang out with his/my family a whole lot, so I RARELY see him. Hopefully you don't have to see doucher too much.

I've yet to get my mom her gift because I won't be seeing her until january sometime (she lives in toronto). I got my gf some furniture from IKEA and am setting it up as we speak so that it'll just be here when she gets home from visiting her family in moncton.

Mom- 50 dollar GC to Thinkgeek (she loves that site.) went half in with a 250 GC to ikea with my step-dad for her. She's obsessed with ikea too now.

Sister 1- Wii Fit. Poster of Alexander Skarsgaard. True Blood Season 1

Sister 2- 8gb Zune and accessories

Step-Dad- Beatles remasters CD set.

Girlfriend- necklace. Twins hoodie. Vikings pants, Complete Friends series on DVD, UK2K shirt, vase, gift set of good loose leaf tea, gourmet hot chocolate, some randomness for her stocking

Grandpa- gift certificates to Borders, Caribou, and Panera. His three favorite places to go.

Girlfriend's Brother- Teaball tea pot.

best friend- complete power puff girls dvd set. tech deck ramp w/rail and 4 Plan B boards.

So your mom's a twenty something hipster geek?

Haha, she wishes she was. Nope, she is an IT project manager and deals with 20 something hipster geeks. She was shown thinkgeek, and now has an arsenal of nerf missile launchers at her desk. I'm just keeping her stocked up. She wanted the ikea one to replace some bookshelves and things. Billy bookshelves are awesome if you have a ton of books, and don't want to spend a stupid amount of money.

I have an addiction to collecting things, so finding stuff for people and putting it all together can be really enjoyable. And expensive.
