    Yeah, some REAL cool stuff on those lists :eek:

    I gave my little brothers a couple of PS2 games and my sister some Barbie 3D DVD show that she wanted. We're not really big on giving gifts.

    I got a silver bookmark of a guy playing basketball (I play soccer, yerg), a 512mb flash disk (something I do need), a laser/ballpen thing and a small gym bag. Oh, also 2 shirts, 1 cool one that I've already used and another thatcan only be used for the gym. A little money too.

    I'm actually not used to getting gifts that I'll actually like or use anymore, so this is fine.
