It’s Christmas morning! Did you get anything that you love, or give something that someone went crazy for? Post it here!
Too early to have received anything yet buy I gave (or will be giving) my mom a full set of stainless steel pots and pans since my family ate all the Teflon off of hers over the past 15 years. For one of my sisters I framed a Tweet she got from @andersoncooper and (at least I think it’s cool) my other sister is getting the full series of Pushing Daisies (in standard definition…not so cool*). I also got my 6 year old daughter some pretty cool arts and crafts stuff. I’m sure she’ll be up any minute now. I’m quite certain she’s going to be pretty excited about this and she’s never seen something like this. She’s ridiculously creative so she should have lots of fun with it (plus some other stuff I got her).
No, I’m pretty sure my family doesn’t read this board. Now, who wants to come and load all this crap into my car in about an hour.
*I really thought about getting her a Blu-Ray player this year so I could get Pushing Daisies in HD next year.
I gave Mrs Labtrash an ipad2 and these
My friend gave me her. My friend rocks!
My lovely wife gave me an iPhone 4S, and a great “Sheldon Shirt” - the one with the NTSC test pattern.
I got her a hand-made teapot, some jewelery, clothes, and miscellaneous stocking-stuffers.
Got my son an X-box, my daughter a laptop, and my wife the warmest slippers I could find, but I rocked the house with this gift.
Apparently the link was for mobile apps
fixed it here
Both of the fellows got new gaming computers, the biggest girl got a (music) keyboard and a crap-ton of clothes and accessories, and the toddler got MiniMe versions of the big kid toys. Santa made my household pretty happy!
My boss let me keep my job until at least the end of the year. And all it cost me was a $2 an hour cut in pay. Yay me.
Another pair of uggs:D.
The CatKid and I got her mother a fancy pants Coach purse. I got her the Butkus throwback jersey she’s wanted, and they are buying me the I-Pad2, which I just have to go select and bring home.
My nephew was very excited to get a G1 Starscream and a complete set of 1st season power rangers. Because when I have that much influence on a kid they are bound to be geeky. And awesome.
Tickets to South Beach. Hubby did goooooood.
My SO got me this
Light up bocce ball set, so we can play at night. Also, a memory foam mattress topper.
I got perfume that smells EXACTLY like the chai tea lattes I drink all the time. I don’t know if I want to douse myself in that scent, but mmmmmm!!!
I got my grandmother a gelled pillow, a feather pillow (King!), and a sherpa throw. She’s not doing well and spends all of her time in bed, so I wanted to make it nicer. She was extremely happy. She told my mom she slept on her new gelled pillow and felt so nice.
My husband surprised me with a Sous Vide Supreme. Now I need to send a PM to Athena and get some tips!
I got a pair of Canada mittens (red with a white maple leaf) from my sister and BIL. I put my hands in them and there was $100 in 20’s in the right mitten.
Given my poverty, that was awesome.
I didn’t pull it out and wave it around, so my sister stopped me on the way out and made sure I knew it was there so I didn’t just throw the mittens in a closet and forget about them. Yes sis, I felt and saw it. Thank you very much. I just didn’t want to make a show of it.
My wife and I made coasters for each other. Last year we made bookmarks. We’re so low-key about Christmas we don’t even register on the human ear.
