The Elusive Christmas Gift

The most elusive Christmas gift for any man to find? The best friend's wife. I'm the typical male, I do all of my shopping today, Christmas Eve. However, each year I always have the hardest time finding the right gift for the best friend's wife. Think about this, you can't out-gift the husband. You can't get something nicer than you got your little lady. Can't go too fancy, can't go too cheap, my head is spinning.

Where does Monte turn to? This fancy fad we call an internet. Yahoo.com's Lauren N. Williams came through with "6 Last Minute Gifts." If you're in the same boat as me, check her list of lottery tickets, magazine subscriptions, digital picture frames or books. Topping the list? The perfect gift I'm looking for - Movie Gift Certificates! I can send my friends out on a nice date, they'll pick the movie and it's in a good price range. As Williams states "Give a friend the gift of Johnny Depp! From the killer combo of Depp and Angelina Jolie starring in the The Tourist, to Natalie Portman's scary Black Swan ballerina, to Colin Firth's role in The King's Speech (which is garnering him Oscar buzz)". Internet 1. Monte 0. :) Merry Christmas.
