Hi all, I need help finding a gift for my sister in law. She is 40-ish and known as "Crazy Debbie". She moved here from Los Angeles a few months ago. She loves the amish and I was going to pay for her and her son to go on an big Amish buggy ride, then she saw it in an ad and is going to do it. DARN! She's a wild woman, who goes by "cavewoman" online. If I get her something like make-up, perfume, etc, she won't use it, and she might get offended. Clothes are too hard to buy for her since she's LARGE busted. I WANT to get her measured and buy her a real bra that fits from Lane bryant,instead of a sports bra that's a hundred years old, but that would be a little tricky to pull off for Christmas. Dang, I just remembered that her birthday is the day after Christmas, so I need two gifts. SHEESH!!!! Here are more things she's into, Hillbillys, white trash, psychotic murderers....and weirdos who do weird things. Everything intrigues her. She is extrememly excited about seeing the Amish' hogs when driving by their farm. I mean, every time she drives by the amish hogs she has to slow down and look at them, while making weird moaning sounds...."oooh my godddd, they are SO HUUUUGE!, wow, oh, oh, this is INSANE, OH, oh oh oh...wow wow wow!!! I can't beleive this." EVERYTIME she drives by them...a few times a week. She doesn't like:coffee, perfume, candles, etc. She likes wild, different things....maybe that's why I can't think of anything for her. I wish I could just buy her a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes....oooh cigarettes, she smokes too, but buying a PRACTICAL gift might be considered rude to her. I know, I know, GIFT CARD to WAL MART....but I really want to try to find her a gift, before resorting to gift cards. They're so boring to wrap! Thanks in advance for your many many wonderful ideas!! mmm, just thought of this one: a prepaid subscription to match.com!! hmmm....only problem is, she wants to find an amish man or two to have and I don't think there'll be any amish on match.com. Dang. HELP! Toodles~ Kristen ps, she's not a psychotic weirdo, she just likes to learn about them.

Thank you for your help! I'll check out the web site. I'm now thinking about getting her a gift certificate to SKYDIVE. Yeah, she's that nuts. She'd probably do it just because a man will be strapped to her!!! ~take care, Kristen

That's very interesting stuff. She's not into any thing like that now, but I'd bet if she got one she'd be interested in learning all about it. Thanks for giving me another great idea for the woman who's hard to shop for! Take care, Kristen
