My friends gave me a joint Birthday/Christmas present yesterday since I was in the States for my 21st...tickets to Pink in Dublin in October! I cannot wait...there is a huge crowd of us going should be great craic!

The rest I won't get until Santy comes tonight😉

Clothes from Timberland for my Dad

I got loads of other stuff for my friends too...Victoria Secret PJ's, Snow globes, Bridgewater State College hoodies, Red Sox jacket and hoodie and a shirt and tie for my Granda.

It was great shopping in America, so much more choice for a LOT less money...hence the Tiffany's, Timberland and VS! lol

 

[itsxpaperdoll]

A the Beatles as Sgt. Pepper poster! (from my sister)
Apart from that, not much. My grandparents will be here in half an hour or so, maybe they've bought me something. Dunno.
I gave my mother candles, my father a bottle of gluhwein, and my sister those form thingies to make cookies with. Animal shaped cookies. I hope she's gonna make em soon. (I always tend to give presents that will be of some use to me ^^)

And, last but not least, I gave myself an Ipod nano, the Mighty Book of Boosh, a Mighty Boosh Live 2008 t-shirt, a very strange pink dress and a Beatles button pack (you know, we flew from Liverpool airport. You gotta do something while waiting for the plain to leave 😛)

 

[Crazy Flakes]

I haven't gotten anything yet (it's only 5:30 on Christmas Eve here), but I gave my parents a toilet plunger (I know, I'm such a wonderful child) and I got the whole family the first season of Arrested Development.

 

[Tueuse de Vampires]

I got:
the obligatory masses of candy (my Mom)
300 Euros (my Mom)
a Buffy 2009 calendar (technically I bought it myself but my dad didn't have presents so he was like "I can give you that for Christmas"...something my bro and my Mom commented with "So typical of you guys...only the wo of you could pull that off")
a Buffy book 'Tempted Champions' (see above)

I gave:
A lighter for my Dad
a pack of stroopwafels for either of my parents

Okay I was a little greedy this year...but in my defence, everyone said they didn't want any presents, plus, I wanted to do some more shopping today, but all my normal pants were in the laundry so I only had my sweat pants, whcih I do not wear into the city...only when it's dark and it's Smeermaas, lol.

 

[Clem Rocks]

I sent my girlfriend a pair of slippers and a can of body spray and she's sent me a homemade card that she says she's put money in

I've had a black phone case from my mum and i know i'm getting Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories for my PSP from her later, when i give her a teddy bear to go with her pink phone case.

I'm giving gloves, socks and a mug to both my grandads.
A mug, a calendar and some bubblebath to my nan.
and a mug, an organiser and some pens to my dad.

 

[StuckinTraffic]

I'm getting watch from the hubby, it was an accident that I saw it, but that's cool! It's gorgeous and I love it! I don't know what my mom got me, we got a box from her in the mail, but I didn't open it. I got her a new purse and a sweater. The older two kids are getting money and gift cards, and the younger two are getting a digital camera and a gift card (daughter), and an iPod Touch and Call of Duty for XBox360 (son), plus some cell phone accessories for both of them (memory cards and headphones and the like.) I think their grandparents probably sent them some money or gift cards, too. They're both going to visit grandparents the day after Christmas, so will probably score some more stuff while they're there, as if they needed anything else, LOL! The dogs are getting the usual chewy bones for their stockings and the kids will get candy and gum in theirs.

 

[Randy Giles]

I'm supposed to get money from my parents.

I was only able to buy one gift due to a severe lack of funds (I only just found a new job). I bought this nail kit for my friend Deborah since her sisters all had their own and she didn't, and they use those things all the time.

[Airam]

All of my family lives nowhere near me so I've basically just collected a good bit of cash in cards they've all sent me, which rocks! My friends and I decided against the whole gift giving thing in favor of just all going out to dinner and hanging out maybe at a bar or something, we're doing that Friday. My roomie though, bitca that she is, still bought me stuff eventhough we weren't supposed to... she got me 3 DVDs: Charlie Bartlett, Tropic Thunder and Forgetting Sarah Marshall... upside of that though is that they're kinda for her too since we live together, lol. I told her I'd just pay for her when we go see the Benjamin Button movie later this week 🙂

[JCC]

I got:

Aberlour 10 Year - It's alright. It'll probably taste better with a little water in (which I do not say often), the flavour all comes at you at once rather than being a slow maturing process on the palette so it's a bit of a wasted venture neat. Still, decent every-day whisky.

Captain Morgan's - My first love.

Vegan chocolates.

Some fruit jelly things.
