any suggestions for these gifts, and a somewhat realistic price?
 

I need shit for all these people:

clothing accessories for mother
god knows what for father
something for the house or for miatas for my sister and her bf
something girly but bad ass for my roomate

I wan't to send some money to credit cards, not blow a thousand on xmas gifts. Thanks for the help.

girly roommate?
We'll need nude pictures to be sure what she's into.

you don't want them. I've had her in the gym though, but she's about a year out from where she needs to be for nudes.

OK, we'll take pics of that.

trust me, I'd post them if you wanted them.

I have low standards. post that shit.

+1 for nude pictures.

+2

An electric impact is an awsome tool. I bought a makita one last year, I use it ALL the time. They wont break big stuff loose, but they are great for fender bolts, hose clamps, and basically anything that doesn't reqire a huge amount of tourqe. My 2 favorite uses are for hose clamps (it takes 3 seconds tops to take the whole thing off) and after I break a large bolt loose, I use it to spin the rest of it out.

The cars dvd is awsome. It even has miatas in it. The twins, Mia and Tia. I love that movie.

Torque wrench.

"clothing accessories for mother

bluenile.com is your friend "


Negative find a local jewler and take the photo from Bluenile.com and all the info about stone size and prongs and give them to the jewler. You can make the same thing for a lot less $$$$.

Ex-Girl (Was made last X-mas gold has skyrockted since then) got this for 150 bucks + better stones (diamond of SI-1 with a like H or I color.) + 14k White Gold + Better Chain

the attached image is what i got her as a B-day / X-mas mix gift the one i made is a little diff 14k white gold and a little diff of a pendent that doesnt block as much of the stone. 6mm stone. Also went with a Swiss Blue Topaz (look freaking amazing and are dirt cheap if you stay 6mm and under) Total cost with chain was 195 bucks. Quoted from a place like Fred Meyer or online was looking 250-350.

anyway dont do jewelry through a middle man like Bluenile or Freddys they mark-up a crap ton.

Ratcheting wrenches are excellent tools when a socket just won't work. They're expensive but worth it, depends on if the step father will let you borrow them later on if you need to use them.

whoa, great responses. Thanks guys.

pics or ban motherfucker :mad:

and get the swivelling ratcheting box end, the ones that will work like a crowsfoot, they're handy
