    I got a nice, here unobtainable, SD Card with 512MB capacity, which will add considerable to my mp3-player at work. What can I say, we're not big on presents. Food on the other hand.....

    A Louis Vuitton bag, a massive capacity cd organizer, a new laptop bag, three new forgotten realms collections books, yo-yo-ma cd, star wars dvd trilogy, thelma & louise dvd, clothes, boots, dungeon seige + Legends of Aranna, baldurs gate: dark alliance,(ps2) devil may cry,(ps2) a new dvd player, excalibur dvd and bladerunner dvd. Also treats and a new pink leather collar for my dog.

    The last thing is technically a hand-me-down, but it is new to me, so i think it counts, a digital camera with a viewing screen so I don't save crappy pictures!

    The best gift I got was getting to spend the day with all of my family though. Ok, I'm butt smooching there!

    Lets see here...
    From my g/f's mom:
    Cheap "Road Racing Set" - already broke...and I was being careful!

    Musk spray that smells horrible - won't ever use

    Answering machine - cheap...probably won't use since we have a cell phone with voice mail

    Misc. candy - already eaten!

    2 bottles of Martinelli's Apple Cider! - greatest stuff on earth...right next to Mt. Dew ;)

    From my parents:
    Italian Leather Gloves - I've wanted a nice set of leather gloves, so my parents went out and bought me the best ones she could find! I :love: them! (the gloves and my parents)

    $15 gift card to MediaPlay - My parents know my interests...but they also know I'm too damn picky! So this is a perfect gift for me.

    Religious book - probably won't read until I'm 40+

    Socks - I need them, so I was actually happy.

    Billabong Shirt - again, my mom knows what I like.

    2 more bottles of Martinelli's Apple Cider - I've been addicted to this stuff during the holidays since I was 10, and my family doesn't really discourage it...as you can see.

    4 fridge packs (12 cans each) of Mt. Dew!!! :thumb:

    From my g/f:
    This!

    And a few other things that can't be discussed here... ;)

    Considering that we're kind of poor for the next month or so, I was quite pleased with what my g/f got me.

    I really hope everyone is happy with what I got them… :rolling:

    Money, marmelade, and some books. If shops had been open, that money would had been some business clothes. Ah, well; better buy them myself in any case.

    A couple of books, a deerhead trophy (made of fur fabric like a teddy), the Tad Wiliams audio-play "Otherland" (some 5 1/2 hours) and sweets and a bottle of delicate liquor :)

    All around I made a pretty good cut ... j/k
