much easier than paypal.
basically same/easier than using the store's payment processor.
Basically you need a google account...thats it!

The thing I am not too fond of is that effectively google stores your info including credit card on their machines....bit scary but everyone does it to you anyways...

wow, I am a Google fan by far and have loved everything they do, but I hadn't even heard of this.

Ill have to look into it. Christmas is almost here and I havent done any shopping yet!!

Ended up buying three large framed pics!
That web site only shows tip of the iceberg...they have tons of other images. Just name a neighborhood and they probably have it.
Thanks for the tip.

...Just thought I'd respond to this discussion even though it's been a while. How about a magazine subscription? There are some interesting and practical ones out there (DWELL, Real Simple, Ready Made, Consumers Digest, The New Yorker, Travel Mags, etc.) that would make cool gifts. I once got a pair of red booties from Restoration Hardware that I love. Other stuff...gift certificate for iTunes. The reason why I love stuff like that is that it allows the person (who gets the gift) to buy a bunch of music they have wanted, without feeling guilty for spending money on it. Sometimes it's just hard to splurge on yourself for things you don't necessarily need. So in my opinion, things of that same nature make the best gifts...spa gift certificates, movie tickets, dinner gift certificates, etc.

Not bad!
Magazine subscription for my dad it is!

If anyone out there is stuck and has no gift ideas...check out the new Cost Plus in El Segundo in that new shopping center. They have tons of cool gift ideas and lots of little random stocking stuff like liquor filled chocolates, cool teas, stuff like that.
