I suck at presents Options

I got my parents a 50 dollar gift card to McCormick and Schmicks. An upper scale seafood restaraunt. Well I cant keep a secret when it comes to gifts so I told them. and they said that they would rather me keep it for myself and my boyfriend. I asked them about 50 times to please take it because it was a gift and they refused. They said they had their years of nice restaurants and that I should keep it for my bf and me because we dont really have the money to go to those places often. So we went 2 days ago. It was yummy food and bill came to 100 bucks.

So I was going to get my bf DDR for Xbox but since he cant afford to get me a gift this year I thought that I wasnt going to blow 100 bucks since when we do go to nice dinners that are 100 bucks Im usually paying so really i do nice things for him all the time. So i got him a DC hat and DC shirt but I gave it to him last week because I couldnt keep the gift. lol

now I have nothing to give anyone on x-mas. this sucks! lol.


Oh any suggestions from people on what to get my bf's parents? They are small town folk and dont go out to eat anywhere but hte bowling alley restaurant. I thought of getting them a gift basket of food but I dont think theyre into that kinda stuff. I thought of a restaurant gift certificate but my bf said they dont go out but to the bowling alley and the bowling alley doesnt have restaurant gift certificates. I thought of a bottle of wine but not sure theyre the type to enjoy a nice 30-50 dollar bottle of wine.

I don't get you white folk sometimes. It's really not a complicated matter ya know... it's a gift... you be gracious and accept it... right? What do I know... just a silly foreigner. If my parents denied something I gave them, no matter how silly or crappy... I'd be a bit ticked off.

Anyway... yeah... you're too good to your bf Nat. Speaking as a man and representin'... I'd NEVER EVER let any girl, let alone my girl pay my way... no matter how broke I am...
