Alright so I have no idea what to get this girl. I went Christmas shopping with her a few days ago and she kept pointing out some things she wanted. Then she would buy them right there. So basically I am strapped for ideas. She is photographer for our school's newspaper and is into art and whatnot so I was thinking a photo printer. I don't want to spend that much money though so I had my eye on this...
http://www.sendaframe.com/new_fgallery/items/5397.shtml?a=frame&f=028295139694&gg=froogle_5397
Any other ideas? Thanks.
Anyone need suggestions for what to get someone.
I hate the pressure of finding something decent.

buy her a mem card for the camera. a huge one. like 2 gigs. put it in a huge box. buy a normal xmass card. write about how great friendships are meant to be remembered. and that you bought her the card so that she'll never forget all the good times. that she can always capture the good times, good moments, and have good memories by her side etc. and yeah, buy her the printer so that she'll have a hard copy of wondrous memories.

Well it's not really about the gift. It’s about the thought.
He can get her a winter flower or what not. Y'know.
Same with family. Buy something thoughtful rather than expensive.
But he already has an idea what to buy her, so I’m just helping him.
Sides Christmas comes once a year. Justifies expensive gifts

yea I'm not looking to spend a whole lot really. Somewhere between 60 and 70 would be nice. I'm just really bad with picking out something meaningful.

70... well you can buy her a fancy scarf for 40$ + matching gloves.
I can't really tell you what to buy her. I'm sure what ever you'll pick she'll be happy that you got it for her.

fuck!
Sorry esel! Oh my god. I clicked the link, I thought it was a printer and since I didn't see one, I just closed it. Re-opened it now. sorry.
It's fucking brilliant. Take pictures of her doing what she loves and buy that frame and put like a dozen pictures up on it. I’m pretty damn sure she’d love it! And put some pictures of yourself on it with quaint things written on the back. Take pictures of her friends too. Make them write a christmas greeting or something. Something thoughtful. Y'know. Or just sign it. Could take some time and effort, but I think it's worth it 
Sounds like a shitty gay idea. But it won't cost you more than a printer + card combo and you'll have a lot of fun working on it 
That frame is awesome! I'm sorry I didn't notice it. I had a bit to drink  Anyway, the frame is amazing!! I'd buy it and'd do what I said. Luckily no one wants to accept gifts from a fat drunk

haha. It's all good man. I was a bit drunk too and wasn't very specific in what I was posting. I was thinking that frame with some photos that we have taken together or something along the line of what you said. I don't want to make it too cheesy since we are only friends but still....
Thanks. It's probably what I'm going to do.

I never given a shitty gift. So, I don't know what crushing blow you're talking about¿¿
Is that the one that involves a lot of forceful biting?
Oop nvm. I read that as crunching.
I wonder what a crushing blow looks like. Hmmm. I wonder if it usses a hammer.

Man, xmas is so hard. At least i have no GF to buy for this year. I really only have to buy for my parents, who have everything. Or if they want something, they just buy it.
@Esel - I think that first gift idea with the pictures in great.
@Nouse - Nice cat guard. We used to put on a couple safety lines with fishing line, just incase one went for a climb.

Bigperm, do a photoalbum. or a slide show. Or a movie for them.
Take their pictures. narrate their life. put it on dvd. Make it really something.
Or make them a garden. A small indoor garden. Y’know. Buy one of those HUGE tanks. Fill it with dirt. Decorate with things. Plant a lot of flowers. Make it really pretty.
Plant good flowers though. Nothing corny and shitty. Flowers that really look like they’re something.
Y’know. They’ll care for it everyday. And if you decorate with family pictures, or your own pictures, they’ll have a slice of their own son at home with them, and every time they’ll water it, or plant new flowers they’ll think of you.
