Any ideas would be great help because otherwise I have to go to church with my girlfriend and I am really not feeling that at all. I guess they have these programs at churches but I would have to sit through a service and that is maddening to me.

Tom,
Many churches just have a gift tree in the back where you take the tag and bring back the present at a later date. No need to sit through the service. It's pretty late in the season though, and our gifts are due this week.
