What did you give YOURSELF for xmas?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’m not much into Christmas, but I do take advantage of the sales and always end up getting myself something in December.

This year my boss gave all the employees gifts based on their interests. They gave me a gift card for a music store (a tidy sum) and some music magazines. I headed down to the music store but didn’t see anyting interesting (I hate music stores). I figured I’d dig around on a few music websites and figure out how to spend this money.

The other day I found a fretless bass at musiciansfriend.com. I figured this is what I’ve been wanting but instead of trying to use the money from the gift card I just ordered the bass. I should have it next week.

I decided I’ll use the gift card for new strings, a little bass direct box and other related items.

So, what did you buy for yourself?

A Gerber tool and a new pinstripe suit.

Cool. If you ever get a gig as Handyman for the Mob,. you’re set. :wink:

4

Next year, I’m getting myself a violin case.

5

A pool table. A real bargain at 995.

(that’s nine point ninety-five)

It’s about 3 by four inches, and has thirteen tiny alls, two thin, long cuesticks, and a huge rack that takes up 2/3 of the playing surface. One break and most of the balls ended up on the floor

6

I’m getting some D&D manuals, and probably some curling gloves to wear under my mitten gauntlets.

And a pony.

7

Two DVDs about Yosemite National Park, from The Yosemite Association.

I got myself a new PC! It’s an Athlon 64 3500+, with 1Gb of RAM, an ATI 9800 XT (256Mb) and a nice dual-layer DVD burner. It’s a total game machine and I’m loving it!!

A goose down comforter. I’m toasty warm in this sub-zero weather.
Thanks, me!

10

16x dvd burner
1 Gig of ram

11

Sold some 1st edition books to generate cash, bought:

  • a kid-size electric guitar and drum set for my son and daughter
  • a couple of expensive gifts for my wife
  • a new guitar and amp for me.

yay. very cool.

I’d just like to gripe a little bit that my wife asked me for a wish list again this year, and, for the second year running, didn’t get me anything from the wish list. In fact, she didn’t get me anything.

Next year, no wish list.

13

I got myself a couple of games for my PS2, the Sims and Grand Theft Auto III. These are the first games in the series, so they were something like $16 total. Even though I generally don’t play these genres, I figured that for less than twenty bucks I can’t lose very much.

Ummmmm, I have to go now. I might not be back for a while. See you.

14

I got a very nice Palm Tungsten E PDA with a 1 GB memory chip. It was the best gift I’ve gotten so far.

I’m thinking of buying myself a digital camera…

Well, my mom could use it, she works in graphic design. :slight_smile:

16

SDMB membership.

oh, and some cds and dvds, too.

17

I bought myself about $280 worth of stuff from Ikea.

18

If you don’t mind me askin’, how much did you spend?

I got myself computer upgrades that I can’t help but thinking I paid too much for.even though I used Pricewatch.com.)

I got a Athlon XP 3200 (with a Soyo Dragon KT-600 mobo), 768 MB of PC3200 RAM, and an nVidia FX 5800. I spent close to $500.

The gift that keeps on giving! Welcome!

I got myself a tiny calendar. It may not sound like much, but I can never remember what day it is and most calendars don’t fit in my locker, so this gift will be very useful.
