Christmas Gift Ideas (my brother's oxymoron)

I was one of several people who got an email from my brother today entitled "Christmas Gift Ideas". The email in itself is a fill-in-the-blank list for everyone who got it, and is pretty much a shopping list for my brother (just hit PRINT).

I find the follies of my young, edumacated, smartass brother both amusing and sad: the very creation of an item-specific shopping list negates the entire concept of "idea" . . . that, and the implied notion that my brother needs assistance in figuring out what kinds of gifts his family members will enjoy/appreciate (despite the project-heavy emails flying around the last couple of months).

(Dude, seriously?! You know I love you, but, seriously?!) LOL!!

Okay, clearly the guy needs help:


Q. Beth would like a ________

A. Choose the item(s) that best completes the above question:
1. Gift card to Lowe's
2. Gift card to Michael's Crafts
3. Gift card to Circuit City
4. Gift that was purchased/created with Beth specifically in mind



** HINT **
Beth is currently in the beginning stages of revamping a historic apartment, and typically hand-makes Christmas gifts for others.
