Picky, Picky, Picky!
We all have at least one person on our Christmas shopping list that is extremely difficult to buy for. For me, it is my grandfather. What do you get for somebody who is so incredibly picky about EVERYTHING?! Not only is he picky, but he already has everything that he needs and/or wants because if he needs and/or wants something, my grandma just buys it for him. So there is NOTHING that he needs. My grandma suggested a shirt. But again with the pickiness factor. It has to be a button down shirt with 2 front pockets that have buttons. Oh, and it has to be made in the USA. He likes to wear hats, but he has 1 hat that he wears all the time and says that other hats don't fit him right. He likes word searches, but he would probably complain about the print being too small. Then my grandma suggested getting him a cd. Well, if he wants a cd during the year, he gets it, so there aren't any out there that he wants and doesn't have. He doesn't even listen to music that often anyway. What do you get someone who has so many stipulations on things. He has certain things that he likes and nothing else is good enough. Right down to the kind of socks he wears. They have to be a certain kind and a certain brand or they don't fit right. Argh! I just want to give him a lump of coal and say "that's what you get for being so fargin' picky!"

Cute pic!
Why don't you get him a new walking stick? One he can keep in the van at all times so he always has one. Or, how about something that messages. I got my great g-pa a micro-bead neck messager for C-mas this year. I know a few stores that even have special slippers that message and warm your feet.
Or maybe a large print magazine sub. to Guidepost or Christianity Today.
Oh! I've got it! How about a gift cert to some kind of restaurant? I think he likes Hometown, but I can't be sure.
I actually have a massage seat with heat that I bought at Lazarus with my gift card to give to someone. I asked gma if she thought he'd use it and she said it was hard to say. As for a new cane, we run into the problem again with the pickiness. He may not use it. He's not much for change, but we don't know anyone else like that, huh? hee hee.
Hmmmm, now who could that be?
I think the messager seat would be great. You bought it with a gc, so it is no money out of pocket for you if he doesn't like it.
