If you had a choice between getting one thing you wanted for X-mas like a SVS, a new BMW, or a reciever. Or getting a bunch of small things, what would you do?
Remember tis the season to give. To answer your questions it depends on how many small things. For example a bunch of dvd's and cd's that I really wanted I would probably choose that over a svs or reciever. But a new BMW!!!. Go with that definitely.
I'd really like to wake up on Christmas morning and find Emmanuelle Beart waiting for me wearing a red ribbon and nothing else. Short of that, I'll take a new computer, a home theater, a dvd and book shopping spree, one of those new Mustang GTs, a bunch of cash, a new job, yadda yadda yadda...
Well, since the little things usually end up being socks or junk items I never use (the silver plated computer mouse was brought up in another thread!), I'll go for the big things. Unfortunately, the big items are always the ones I buy for myself. Last year it was the Sony DVP-S9000ES, this year, probably just small items since I bought myself a laptop a month ago.
But I wouldn't turn down the BMW if someone buys me one. Especially if they pay for the insurance as well.
