Holiday hauls

[fireheart]

So what did everyone get this year?

I still have a couple of presents pending tomorrow, but here's what my SO and I have received together so far:

-$100 gift card to Busy Bee Media Store and a $50 Gift Card to Common Schlong Electronic Store from my parents. (At this stage, we're planning on putting the $100 card towards a TV, no clue where the $50 is going to go)
-$25 gift card to the mega-mall chain that exists in Aussieland from my auntie (this will also likely go towards the TV)
-2 calendars from my grandmother and other auntie (One has a Big Bang Theory theme, the other has a cat theme-we're going to put one downstairs and one upstairs)
-Butterfly triptych and some bookends from my sister.
-The dress I've mentioned in an earlier thread from my SO.

My SO is getting a Nerf Terradrone from me. We're still pending the remaining gifts tomorrow from his parents, sister and possibly his now former step-nan, we'll see.

And I do mean "Former" step-nan. Turns out his grandfather got a nice little Christmas present of his second wife leaving him .

I got a KitchenAid stand mixer. Already used it to make a cheesecake, and about to use it again to make cinnamon rolls. Nom nom nom.

Boyfriend got a subscription to Loot Crate. Some odd and interesting stuff in the one he got for this month.

We both got cool graphic shirts, including a hoodie I got that I swear I'm going to live in until spring.

[Tama]

I got a $20 3DS E-shop card, scarf, mittens, and a journal with a pretty cover.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Haven't opened anything yet, but I already know my dad's gift - he's refinishing a dresser that's been in their basement for years to go into my kitchen, and putting shelves above my sink. I doubt he'll even start those until after New Year's, though.

My brother is sick so I won't see him today. So it's just whatever my mom got me that I get to open.

Merry Christmas.

I got a $60,000 House. We just closed on the 15th.

I bought it for myself. We will finish paying it off in only 10 years (not bad, considering some take 30 years)

(I will post pictures when I move the little, silly, things; like furniture.)

[KuariKaydrith]

I got a wireless trackball mouse, a duvet and cover set, Dragon Age Inquisition, a Doctor Who travel mug, and new Scentsy warmer and wrap (etched core warmer and loom wrap) with some more scented wax bars for my collection! My son got a pair of 10th Doctor pajamas, a Doctor Who travel mug, duvet and cover set of his own, a Ravenclaw toque, t-shirt that says 'Do I look like a people person', a small Scentsy warmer (cranberry plug-in), a Cooties disease squishy ball, and a new-to-us 250gb XBox 360 Slim (he had an older model 20gb one but it was starting to crap out). My pets got all new toys - cat nip mice and fortune cookies for the cats, chew balls for the rats and guinea pig, and a play gym for the bird.

[Kheldarson]

My son got a Giggly Gears Turntable and Tumbling Gears, a Cityscape racing tower, a dino-popper, Mega blocks wagon, a sit-on scooter, new bunting, stacking cups, books, and Daniel Tiger plushes.

Kabe and I got a Wii U with Mario Kart, Wind Waker, Hyrule Warriors, and Smash Bros. We also got Ticket to Ride.

I got a new sweater, a cashmere type wrap, and The Broken Eye.

Kabe got a Peach amiibo and a new weedwacker.

Oh yeah! And we got a new Tupperware set.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

- Bottle opener, bag of chili ingredients, and a pair of gloves from gift exchange at work
-Couple of hoodies
-Another pair of gloves (I can never have too many; I lose them like they're going out of style)
-A down-alternative comforter
-Two Big Bang Theory DVD box sets
-$15 Wendys gift card, $25 Subway gift card, and a Bart Simpson flash drive from my sister and her husband

Most of all, some time off to myself after a crazy-ass year.

[Monica]

I still have one pending gift tomorrow. But here is what I got so far:

A cover for my Mac! Now it's a pretty pink color!

My pets got all new toys - cat nip mice and fortune cookies for the cats, chew balls for the rats and guinea pig, and a play gym for the bird.

Pet toys are like lingerie - the gift is actually for the enjoyment of the giver.

[BookstoreEscapee]

My mom gave me money to get a new bedspread, and also $100.

My dad gave me a before picture of the aforementioned dresser.

Also I bought myself a Samsung Nook 10.1" tablet last week.

Bestie gave me a snowman (white candy in a jar and jar was decorated) and a cute pair of socks. Another friend gave me 2 absolutely delicious cheeseballs, a serving platter, and another snowman candy holder. At work, got a gift card to the local big box store for $75 and boss gave me a beautiful ornament and B & B works set. Friend from work always gives us primitive Christmas decorations-large candy cane and wall hanging this year. Hubby and I didn't exchange gifts since we just get what we want if we want it. He did double my fruit cake in my stocking and added 3 dark chocolate Giradelli bars, too. I'm probably going to use my gift card and some cash I have stashed to get a new phone-mine sucks.

Oldest kiddo got a new desk chair, a new phone, shirts and a computer repair tool kit in a bag that he needed for his job. Youngest boy got a new sax, cologne, shirts and small tool set he needed for his horn.

Grandparents' gathering we played dirty santa with gag gifts. got a chocolate candy box filled with hickory nuts and a pair of reusable hand warmers. Also got an "eye-pad". I think that one embarrassed the 14 year old .
