Remove all ads!

I took up Math's idea and would like to hear what gifts we all gave.

My only love in life now is my daughter and she fills me with her light.
She recieved a pile of gifts from me,
most notable though where a telescope and a microscope. She had written Santa asking him to please give her a shrink ray, but I think she believed me when I said Santa did the best he could with those two.

I got my ex a coffee mug he loved

my sister a cool red beret like hat

my brother in law an assortment of goat cheese(he's swiss and lives on cheese)

my brother and his girlfriend recieved a teapot and a frame that holds ten pics.

for my parents i am getting a dragon that will swim across the lawn.

I didn't spend much this year, being unemployed puts a damper on things.

Now, how about you?

 

I got my girls a few toys and a nice book of fairy tales.

I got my mom $300 worth of groceries and some new dish towels (it's what she wanted!)

I got my little cousin a game for his new system and the movie Lilo and Stitch.

I got one of my little brothers the new Foo Fighters CD.

I got my other little brother a Garfield book.

I got me a new bracelet.

 

I bought my mom Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul 2. Aww...

I also bought two friends of mine a Frappacino. They shared it (They were both girls).

 

Well here's my list:
Jack (my son) - Garage, Fisher Price computer thing that you hook over the keyboard, clothes, toy soldiers (plastic), and bits and pieces.

Vermillion: a pendant, a new padded shirt, and a teddy bear.

Mum: a locket with a picture of Jack in it, an Xmas tree shaped candle, a wind chime.

Dad: Harley Davidson model, Fudge from Thorntons, a farting bear.

my brother: Nike socks, an Atomic Kitten calendar (yes, I know they are evil and yes, I was ashamed to be seen buying it ), England T-shirts, Shaving set.

Grandma: Grandma necklace.

Grandad: Grandad necklace.

Uncle: Pan set ( He needed them!)

 

I gave... (just the favorites)

My Wife: 1) a book with the good parts highlighted
2) a journal I had made all year with little notes and comments
3) a nice pen she had wanted (and is returning )

My daughter: a wooden airplane, a police car with flashing lights, some sewing cards, a velvet ball, a toy guardian angel, and a little lion.

My brother-in-law: an assortment of cigars!

My In-Laws: A hand carved nativity set

My Parents: A few bottles of wine, pictures and a nice mug with my daughter's picture on it.

(Compared to the crap I got, this is all much better!!! )

 

I got my father the "Amelie Poulain" DVD, he seems to like it.

 

Mom:A self-made scarf and a book
Dad:A notebook and a stick
Brother:A stupid horse like plushie
Aunt:Self-made white bag and a book
Granddad:Robin Cook's Invasion
Grandmom:An address book
Myself:Bad mood and a self-made sock

Life sucks.

 

Mum: A bronze Arabian-style metal box, filled with marble eggs.

Dad: Rolling Stones 40 Licks album.

Younger Sister: Three PSone games (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, CTR Racing and Worms Blast).

I let my Mum take care of the rest of the family.

Let's see:
I got one of my sisters some paint brushes (she's an artist)
Don't remember right off what I got my other sister (I've slept since then)
For my mother, I'm going to fix her computer (she has a RAM problem) and if things go right I may snag her Neverwinter Nights (she's been wanting to play, besides she thinks that Diablo II is *the* coolest game, must disabuse her of that notion!)
And I'm still trying to figure out what to get two of my really close friends (can't spend too much, college is kicking my arse right now financially! ouch!)

 

Here's what I gave:

Mom: A book that she's been hinting for
Dad: A bottle of Rogain (gag gift)
Scott: Nothing
Brent: 2 CDs he really wanted
Joel: A swift kick in the ass
Becky: The soundtrack to the Weding Singer
Randy: A computer game
Kim: A DVD
Judy: 2 Books she wanted

 

Mom: Farscape cook book
Dad: The Cell DVD
Brother 1 (Sam): Metroid Fusion and link cable
Brother 2 (Garrett): Scooby-Doo DVD
Brother 3 (Luke): Lilo and Stitch DVD

 

Mom-a digital preset 4 cup coffeemaker, and 2 prs thermals
Grandma- a gift certificate to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to help pay for an Aerobed she wants to get for the house.

That's all the immediate family I have, and the extended family agreed long ago (about the time I was 5) not to exchange presents, or that would be another 70 people on my list (My mom is #8 of 13)

 

I bought my wife a curio cabinet so she could display her grandmother's collection of china in it.

 

Elios: hello SD, that's where I hail from

Wow! I am lovin' the gift lists here...
nothing generic,
everything is unusual, personal,...
very cool....

Mauricio: Amelie was a great movie, playful, childish, (entirely non-American), sounds like a great gift!

 

Well i gave my cousin a LOTR game and Pool of Radiance (which he quickly gave to me)

 

Lol Jesper, i've never know anyone to have so much hatred for a game.

 

And i have never known anyone besides you who actually liked it

 

gift certificates, bearing my love.

cheap, yes.

 

A whole lot of chocolate, a guns' magazine, a Stephen King -book, a cd-stereo device, free cinema theater tickets, and some christmas cards. Plus a few SMS:s of course.

 

"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. But the very next day, you gave it away...."

Just kidding. The new Shania Twain CD, Hot Wheels, an emerald ring, my attention, my thanks, etc.
