What are you giving the children in your life this holiday season?

Nov 24, 2012 12:25 PM

I'm trying to stick to just books and a DVD for my nieces this year, but it's hard (even though they're pretty awesome books, imo). They have so much stuff, though, and they'll get much more stuff from their parents and grandparents.

Let me shop vicariously through you. What cool toys/gadgets/books/movies/etc. are you giving the kids in your life?

My nephews are each getting a medium size Lego set. The younger one (he's 9) is also getting a junior size football and a cool (Woot!) t-shirt. The older one (he's 12) is getting duct tape, a Star Wars Origami book and origami paper and a cool (non-Woot!) t-shirt. I let their parents handle the gadgets.

giving them a lesson in disappointment :D

Actually, my wife and i make it our mission to get the noisiest/ messiest toys and gifts we can find for my elder siblings' kids. I consider it payback for having a tormented childhood at their hands. Either way, we're known by the kids as the aunt and uncle who give the best gifts ever :P

We are giving the lego watch featuring Woody from Toy Story, which was purchased from Woot. We figure it's time the nephew started learning how to tell time.

I'd like to give two of my kids (and their wives) a smack up the side of the head (Gibbs slap won't do) just to get them to wake up and figure things out.

Otherwise, still shopping.

I'm giving my 14 year old Five seasons of The Big Bang Theory, a hoodie and a The Oatmeal print http://shop.theoatmeal.com/products/thomas-edisons-nightmare-signed-print
He doesn't want much so we are grasping at straws here.

The "kids" in my life are 15 and 19; it looks like an iPhone might be happening for them to go with their other iThings.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
