You and my son must have come from the same mold - this is him to a T. He's impossible to buy for, since when he wants something, he just goes out and buys it. He too is banned from buying anything for at least a month before Christmas. His birthday is a week from Saturday and what have I gotten him??? - not a thing yet and I am clueless. Maybe the new shop vac that he needs - if he doesn't beat me to it. His wife and kids are wracking their brains too, since Father's Day is the day after his birthday!
