[QUOTE=BobLobLa;5239049]A) If I am going the "showcase showdown of cash and prizes" route vs. All $$ allowance, I always tell them to make a wish list on Amazon.
B) You can always find creative ways to leverage non-cash allowances. Someone new to town -- have them fill a shopping cart on Bed Bath and Beyond for their new place. I have their membership, so I get 20% off.
C) Tech and related items can be bought at STaples or best buy -- put it on the company credit card and it looks like office purchases (they joys of being self employed).[/QUOTE]Not only self-employed, but sans SO I'd guess. I'd have a lot more flexibility if I didn't have to worry about electronic records of my purchases.
BTW, one other thing about the wish list I just thought to specifically mention. Some of you (not me) are interested in getting your SB to open all portals. When I see a girl who has several butt plugs, bunny tails, etc. On her wish list, that is a good indication she's receptive to the back door.
