What did you give for christmas this year?

[matt-]

Every year, we have a thread where people post their "loot", but nobody (as far as I can remember) has posted a list of what they gave. So, what did you all give this year?

Friend - Amarcord and Masculin féminin Criterion Collections
Friend - Sweet ass hat
Friend - Flask with his name engraved in it
Cousin - $50 worth of gourmet chocolates.
Cousin - Clerks 2 and Silence of the Lambs Criterion Collection
Aunt - A ton of really good organic teas
Uncle - Gift card to Peets Coffee
Brother - Madden 2007 for Wii
Grandma - Burberry Scarf

I still have a little more shopping to do, but I'm hoping this thread will help with some ideas for what to get people.

So far, I've spent $600. My next paycheck can't come soon enough :(

[Phazex3375]

[rasputin]

Nothing yet, it's only the 13th.

[Magus]

Canon Elura 70 for my wife

Historic Context Bible for my mom

Rattle & Ride Pooh, some awesome pop-up tents, TMX Elmo for my son.

I got some other stuff for my brothers and sister, but since my wife does the shopping I don't really remember what it was.

[public_slots_free.mL]

yeah, it is too early for this thread. How can we tell you what we gave when it hasn't even happened yet.

[Jackle]

im selling a FujiFilm FinePix A500 on ebay for $100 if anyone wants to get it for someone

[Sutterkane]

I am not getting nor giving shit to anybody for christmas this year.

My parents just made some improvements to their house, my future sister in law and her husband just bought a house, and me and my g/f have agreed to not buy gifts for each other and just save money since we're buying a house in 6 months.

bah humbug

[public_slots_free.mL]

i wouldnt buy a house with a girlfriend unless you asked her to marry you first.

[Sufjan]

$600?! You buy your friends, DON'T YOU!

[Randy Travis]

The gift of love.

[maizy]

I don't go shopping until Dec. 20th week. Mainly because I am a teacher (i get 2 weeks off) and that I am a guy. With being a guy, I have never bought gifts for my male friends. That seems to um, gay? I might buy them a shot at the bar and say "merry xmas" to them but never a gift. I only buy gifts to the direct family members. Since my birthday is the 26th of December, I tell all my friends to goto the bar one night and we buy shots for each other...works out great.

For my family:
wife: amber earrings, a cat (and I HATE cats but she wanted one), a vinyl record player (she wanted one so bad), and a $200 Victoria's secret gift card, because I always get the wrong size.

Mom: the same damn perfume and William Wegman calender that I have been giving for the past 10 years. She only wants that, so I stay with what works.

Dad: A year subscription to Penthouse (a gag gift for my single 72 year old dad), some Black and Decker tools, and spending a week to build a new deck.

The in-laws: Taking them on an Alaskan Cruise in May. It may seem a lot, but they gave us one hell of a wedding :D

I mainly tell everyone I know to just get me a gift card to bestbuy. Since my birthday and xmas are shared, it's easier that way.

[unfy]

Brother: Mousepad (icemat), mouse (logitec g7). headset (icemat) total: $166
(still need some other things)
Dad: Book, Digital video camera total: $550 (split w/ brother)
(still need some other gifts)
Mom: Framed pictures of family, a nice coat, some trinkets, Kenmoore
washer/dryer brand new total: $2500 ish (split with dad and brother)

I have not decided to buy gifts for friends yet

[Sufjan]

How can you seriously be spending 3k on Christmas gifts for 3 people??

[unfy]

I don't know, it wont be 3k for me, because some of cost is split, like on the washer/dryer, but it's the 3 people I care about the most and I have the money.

[Rand]

Christmas just isn't the same for me anymore. Even with having kids for more than a few years now. After having the negative atmosphere around here, I don't think that I will ever have the 'mood' again.

Thanks, honey !

[jennMWdragon]

$600??? Dude, I spent like $40 on my entire family and on my friends. Could be because I'm poor and or cheap, but even if I had the cash to throw around, all of those people don't deserve nice and expensive shit.

I'm not going to list all of my pointless and cheap ass gifts, but I will say that I bought one of my sisters a nice bottle of red wine (it was on sale) cause I'm tired of hearing about her drinking wine from a box. I have a ghetto ass family.

[polarity]

I'm giving my parents each a set of Penzeys spices tailored to their personal tastes, since they love cooking.
My sister and her husband love everything involving legendary performers, specifically comedians (brother-in-law runs a comedy club in San Jose and his entire family works in the industry) so I'm designing, printing, and framing a Charlie Chaplin poster for them, since he's one of the few performers they can't find anything of which they like.
My girlfriend is getting the shaft. Literally (in reality I don't know what she wants).

[jennMWdragon]

(in reality I don't know what she wants).

What's she interested in? What does she like to do?

[senor-turkey-lurkey]

Matt I need the following...

A few used Nikon SB24-28 flashes... whatever... can get them for like $80 on ebay
Maybe get me like a 11-14mm Canon Lens
Maybe the 70-200 as well that would be nice!
And like probably $200 in cash would be sweet.

Thanks honey

[polarity]

What's she interested in? What does she like to do?

She likes to pleasure me sexually. Should I get her some flavored lubricants or something? I'm sure it would make crotch to mouth much easier on her.

[phate]

$600?! You buy your friends, DON'T YOU!
no dude hes not in a frat

[Mexi]

Girlfriend: Decent new coat from Kohl's. It's beige with a little white fluffy stuff on the inside.

lol you don't need to pay. maybe S&H. but one of my friends taught me how to do this stuff for fun, so i just do it for the sake of doing it. once i get caught up with a couple requests i can take some more

[illskillz]

I dont know, do you receive things from people?

[Mexi]

the whole buying things for people for christmas escapes me. Whats the point again?


yeah seriously why would we celebrate the birth of Jesus by giving to people we love

[jennMWdragon]

That reminds me of last years Christmas with my family. My uncle went around in a circle asking everyone if they got him something for Christmas (he doesn't look at the note of who gave him what I guess). If you said no, you wouldn't get anything. If you said yes, you had to say what it was and then he'd take out his wallet and give you $10.

So I guess in my families case, if you don't get them something, you don't get anything.

sounds like a miserable person who doesnt get the point of giving

[jennMWdragon]

Yeah. He's gotten a little odd and needy over the years too. I live like 45 minutes away from him and he keeps asking to hang out and to hook him up with one of my friends. I'm 24, and I believe he's in his 50's. :/

He's cool when he's drunk or stoned though during family get togethers.

[mafiaman]

dad - diamond pinky ring .. 645$
mom - necklace with heart pendant .. 240$

thats really all i have to buy for, i might be bringing a friend of mine out for dinner which will probally run another 100 dollars :-/

[janordy]

www.usbcell.com - for everyone

[kno[x]]

Gonna get my woman a $20 gift card to Victorias Secret to buy sexy clothing for sexy times.

[GoomZ]

is that all your giving to your gf? you cheap ass

[jennMWdragon]

LOL. She'll be lucky if she can buy some hand lotion with that amount.

[kno[x]]

What, herpes+cash isn't enough?

[kevin]

gf: tickets to spamalot.. $250 right there.. already saw it last week.. and a book + chocolate she likes

[Vanquish]

I'm poor and on welfare, so my gift giving was pretty limited. Given I live in a very economically depressed area, that's par for the course. Anyway, here it is:

Father (big outdoorsman, loves to hunt and such): New pair of 16 x 32 compact binoculars.
Mother: gloves, scarf, touque and ear muffs that all match the new coat she got
Brother: Ren and Stimpy first season DVD set
Girl Friend: Bath set with: lotion, bubble bath, salts, bath oil, foot massager, back scrubber, puff. Also a key-shaped, crystal encrusted pendant (key to my heart... stfu), hawiian ginger scented body spray, shower lotion, and moisturizer. New day planner, walled and lipstick holder for her purse

Still have a lot of buying to do.

Also, I'm making a dart board cabinet for my living room out of solid pine. If it turns out any good I'm going to make one out of solid oak or maple of mahogony. I hope it turns out well.

[jennMWdragon]

That's limited gift giving? Jesus.

[Gr8Shot]

the whole buying things for people for christmas escapes me. Whats the point again?

i think the religious point of it was you celebrate the life of christ because he gave away the greatest gift he had to the people he loved.

but yea anyway i agree with your statement that people have forgotten why it's for (this coming from an atheist.)

i'd much rather recieve a random gift during the year then a specified one on a certain date.

that being said my family is small (just me and mums) but i got her a $1600 plasma hdtv as a bday/xmas/housewarming gift.

and for my gf im still unsure of what to do... ahhhh one week left!! and this shits important to her unlike me.

[Magus]

That's limited gift giving? Jesus.
you can make it work if you limit the stuff you get yourself. I've personally quit drinking since April and now I have lots of money for people's gifts.

[Hard`]

My dick in a box.

[Vanquish]

My dick in a box.

ROFL

And Jenn, yeah it is pretty limited, compared to what I want to get them and the amount of money I owe them all. I spent less than 50 bucks on each person, when in reality I owe each of them well over a hundred. If I had the money I could easily spend a couple hundred on each of them.

[Bubz]

Dad.........Edge Powerchip For his F350.......1390
Mom........Grandfather Clock.................450
Sister......Movies.......40

Split the Clock with my Dad.
