Sure here is my gift.

Just kidding :lol: :lol: :lol:
I actually told my wife not to get me anything. During this time of year I really prefer to give then get.

 

[DADomains]

My lovely wife got me Dreamweaver CS4 and Sorenson Squeeze 5 for flash.

I guess she really wants me to step up this "online money making hobby" thing a bit, so she can quit her job someday.

Peace and Quiet.

No running around to see my fiances family or mine, No holiday traffic, just a warm ocean breeze and me and her on the beach watching the emerald green waters roll in. I did get a few gifts but my favorite was us making the move from Ohio to here.

 

[DebX420]

I got:

2 Insane Clown Posse Shirts
1 Hoodie Jacket
1 Pull Over Sweater
USB Head Phones w/ Mic
Wireless Router
Speakers for Laptop
$100

And that was it

OH!

And some GameCube games from Chef P. :D

 

[Barrucadu]

I got:

• Chocolate
• £50 from relatives
• Books:
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray
  • The Lair of Bones
  • Sons of the Oak
  • Worldbinder
  • Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code
  • Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony
  • Nation
  • The Supernaturalist
  • Two Caravans
  • Blood of the Fold
  • Stone of Tears
• The Discworld collector's edition 2009 calendar
• Some shaving stuff

I then spent half of my Christmas money on new books - naturally, I had never heard of these books before entering Waterstones, and never intended to get them; I buy books from Amazon when I know the name of the book, and use Waterstones to find new books. I bought:

• Mister B. Gone
• The Children of Hurin
• The Gargoyle

I have added them to my database of books, which I started on Wednesday (and still doesn't have all of my books in), so I can keep track of them if I lend them to people, I think having a database of my books is a good idea, and wish I'd thought of it sooner, so I didn't have to enter over 200 books in relatively short succession.

I have been accused of reading too much.

edit: And now I have spent the rest of my Christmas money, and received some books from my dad (so I shall undoubtably find them very boring). The books I chose are:

• Gothic!
• The Eye of the World
• The Great Hunt
• The Name of the Wind

The books he chose are:

• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• Life of Pi (this one actually sounds ok...)
• Trainspotting
• Porno (not what you think; it's about a broke man trying to make money by directing a pornographic film)

I'm not sure what I'll do with all of these books... I now have received, in total, 22 books this Christmas. Consider that I intend to buy two or three books a month, and now have about 250; I'll end up with a lot of books. My mum tells me I should use the library more and just borrow books.

I got one of those tiny remote control helicopters, it lasted a couple of hours until it wouldnt hover anymore lol

 

[sOliver]

I got a 1TB HDD from Seagate (yay +++backups)
having a lot of trouble with that thou :<

 

[Eric]

Every year I tell friends & fam. not to buy me anything, yet they still do. So, I ended up with:

• New leather wallet
• Disturbed - Indestructible (CD)
• New pair of steel toe boots
• Thermos
• Winchester Knife Set
• Black & Decker Toolbox
• Cologne (Stetson & "Curve")
• umm.. forgot the rest :hehe:

I bought myself:

• Western Digital 160 GB HDD
• Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit
• Gaming Headset (USB)
• Logitech USB Keyboard & Mouse
• BFG nVIDIA GeForce 6200 OC Video Card

Pretty good, overall. I did give a lot more than I received, which I love doing. I'll try again next year to tell them not to buy me anything, doubt it'll work - never has. :p
