I need help...

[vydana]

This isn't technical help I need, but present help.

Ok, I'm dating this guy and he got me a present, but he won't tell me what it is or let me have it early. The big meany :P He did however give me some hints, which oddly keep changing.

Ok, it is sort of a novelty item, but not really and can be stored in any room of the house.

At first he said it had 6 or 66 pieces. So we figured it had 6 pieces that could be broken down into 11 pieces to make 66.

However, after speaking to him last night he modified the clue and said

"It has 7 pieces...no 11"

So, I'm assuming it has 11 pieces.

Any idea what it could be?

It is not a puzzle. (I already guessed that)

Fun thread!

How old is this guy (if you don't mind my asking...)? Might help to narrow down the possibilities if we know what he is likely to afford and think interesting...

My first thought... A CD. Depending on how you look at it, it could be one item (the disc) or 11 items (the songs).

I hadn't thought of that...good idea :D

Oh, and to help, it had to come in the mail. Part of it came last Friday and the rest hasn't come yet.

He's 24 years old.

I will never understand wanting to ruin the feeling of suspense and surprise that comes with opening a truly great (or truly heinous, for that matter) gift by trying to guess ahead of time what it is.

Kate does this to me all the time. She's always asking for hints and, bless her heart, I just can't ever come up with any that aren't integral to the gift itself. Like if it's a CD, I can only think of hints that are related specifically to the CD, and not anything generic that could be applied to anything. So I usually just think for a minute or two and then give up, or hope the conversation takes a different turn. :P

I just love to guess what presents are. My grandparents like when I do that. I'll measure them, weigh them, look over my list and guess and guess and guess some more.

The thing is, I have no idea what this gift could be and it's driving me up the wall.

Well, I got the first half of my present(s)...

There is this cartoon on The Cartoon Network at night called Aqua Teen Hunger Force, well, I got...

He got me this thing that has Meatwad, Fry-loc, and Shake (the characters from the cartoon) and they're all inflatable. I blew them up last night.

And...

I got a meatwad stressball. It feels all funny and is so cute.
I got 4 cartoon network coasters
A deck of Cartoon network playing cards
An Adult Swim t-shirt
An "I *heart* ATHF" hat..the heart is meatwad in the shape of a heart.

I also get another present, but I can't have it before Christmas he said.

[althalus]

you got presents before xmas?!?! either that's just unfair or (more likely) i just don't get enough presents ;)

sounds like your'e a fan of cartoon network :D i like it, but i can't watch it .. no cable or such for little me :(

[vydana]

I'm not a huge cartoon network fan, just that one cartoon. I had never watched it before the my friend introduced me to it. Now, *bows head* I'm an addict.

And yeah, I had to pester him A LOT to get these before Christmas. This is only half of my gift apparently, the rest I can't have before Christmas.
