I bought a DS for my mom ($140 after tax), but my sister paid for half (-$70)
then I got the Target $99 price match from Circuit City (-$40)
DS for mom = $30 out of my pocket
I get her a game $20
I buy my sister some car speakers (original price = $240)
Good Guys is going out of Sale so they are on sale for $155
But I get them for $79
My G/F wanted these expensive sunglasses from Nordstroms ($225+?)
But she game my $100 to go shopping with
another card gave $40
I took $20 from the bank
I repackaged it all and gave it back to her for her sun glasses ($160)
I know this all sounds really cheap, but I've been really busy at work and I work a swing shift so I didn't have all the time I wanted to go shopping
So all said and done, I spent $150 on $560 worth of stuff. Not bad if I say so myself

Everyone I know wants fairly affordable stuff, so I broke even at about 100 or a little less than, but what you pulled off is pretty impressive.

One got the first four volumes of GTO on VHS, another one got a small Puck figurine from Berserk and a manga I couldn't get into, another one got my old Japanese Slang dictionary, and I gave my other friend an old graphic novel of mine...Kling Klang Klatch, to be precise.
And oh! I also gave them each an old school 70's kung fu flick from my collection that I never watch.
So...over all, adding what I spent on all these things over the years...I probably spent about $70-80 on Christmas.

-$20
I spent 3+10+18+12+10=43. One of the gifts I transcribed my grandpa's autobiography he was working on and added pictures and stuff and put it in a binder, it was great.

Confirmed: Nemo doesn't have a DS.

Or, if and when I find a way to stay Eternally Young, I'll just start writing volumes every century or so.
"The Continuing Adventures of TMW: Vol 27 - "Living the Night Life -or- Why I didn't bother going outside during the day for over a century."

I'm saving you a copy. I haven't written it yet, but you'll get the 1st copy.
It will include pictures...
actually it will probably be a picture book.
