I got a trimmer for my beard (as it needs taming) from my girlfriend, and a Simpsons gift set of socks which, as always, I badly needed. I also got Football Manager 2014 from my parents, and £10 from my sister which I'll buy something on Steam with.
Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
From my sister, a cutting board she made herself which also doubles as a tray. That's probably my favourite gift that I got. From my other sister, a satire magazine subscription. From my parents, wine, a cheese tray, ceramic cheese knife, and so. much. cheese. There's probably 2-3 kilos of assorted cheeses. YUM
Some computer parts, some Steam games and a judge foil Vampiric Tutor. Geek cred if you know what the latter is.
ICO&Shadow of Colossus on PS3, God of War Ascension, a winter jacket, £30, bottle of JD, some headphones with more on the way ^^
Tiffany & co. necklace, juicer, flower in the air perfume by kenzo, the newest Professor Layton game for 3DS, nail varnish and a few other things
Oh, I forgot to mention - I also got the Bioshock games from Nicolas :love:
Since it's Christmas I will rep all posts in this thread :D
A big ass bottle of gradual sunless tanner (YAY!! I can get my tan on!), lotions and chapsticks and knee socks from my sister's girlfriend....
Parker's school pictures, $20 (yay 'cuz I need makeup and a razor), and a Pandora bracelet with 2 charms (a "P" and a little heart that says "mom" all over it in diff languages) that I'm now obsessed with and will never take off.
Parker got some kinda fashion designer coloring book thing with stencils and crayons and junk and her Vermont Teddy Bear that my mom ordered for her..
It was very emotional.
Well I mean I haven't weighed it, but... https://www.google.com/search?q=5+lb...m=117&ie=UTF-8Quote:

I made out like a bandit this year! From clients I got a gift card, chocolate covered macadamia nuts (This lady also gets the rest of the shop something, usually chocolate covered things, but I always get my own box too :D) and a bodywash, a wrist wallet thing that my cat already scratched up, and a little purse mirror. From co-workers I got another bodywash, and my boss got me a cute dog mug and a gas card. From my mom I got B&Bworks things and a candle (I FREAKING LOVE THEIR 3-WICK CANDLES), and a Keurig coffee maker and some k-cups for it. I'm still kind of in shock with the last one...

I got the books Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Air, and House of Many Ways. I've read Howl's but I haven't read the others. I've already started reading Howl's again in my downtime between helping prepare for our meal today!
I also got Lost Season 1 on Blu Ray, Halloween 1 on Blu Ray, Ni No Kuni, a blanket, some money, and I think that's it. I MAY (but probably won't) get a Wii U for myself as a gift with the extra money I have. I'll probably end up just saving the money for student loan payments.

Some bacon related trout and a laundry basket.
Seriously family. When I say not to get me anything, I smurfing mean it. No I don't want your bacon flavored sunflower seeds or a smurfing foldup laundry basket. Don't buy me things, just call me and talk to me!
I got a gorgeous new Pandora charm which is Christmas themed, some tickets to go see Paramore in a couple weeks (SQUEEEEE) and some gorgeous organic scented candles which are just beautiful. OH and a teapot! :D Phil and I also got a lovely picnic basket with tickets for the outdoor cinema which I thought was a really lovely gift.
I got some money from my family back home so that bought me Bravely Default and a new tattoo that I am getting done tomorrow! :jess:
I can't believe how many smurfing toys my six month old got. And I haven't even been to my Dad's yet. My mother-in-law went bananas. She got seven ornaments from people (one she and I made together).
I got some cool stuff, most notably a Joker ornament, Hyrule Historia, and a great new set of stainless steel pots and pans. I really needed new pots and pans and my mom totally surprised me.
A Game of Thrones-themed painting that my sister-in-law painted, a Final Fantasy IV poster, two new cutting boards, a Leafeon figurine (favorite Pokemon, adulthood be damned), new pajama pants, long sleeve shirt, two t-shirts, a photo album of our wedding, two bottles of gin, a bottle of vodka, two bottles of whiskey, and two bottles of rum.
Attachment 49512
Spuuky's Mom made me this quilt for Christmas! I can never have too many blankets, I specifically wanted a new bedspread (and they are bloody expensive, especially for a bed of our size), and my sentimental attachment to my t-shirts clashes with my hate of clutter - so this really was perfect! I will have to make her a piece of art, because I can only imagine how many hours and hours it took for her to sew this thing. It's funny though, she cut off the logo for one of my favourite bands called "Die! Die! Die!", and she threw away my shirt that said "I hate myself and I want to die" because she said it pains her to think of me dying or hating myself xD.
Spuuky bought me a very fancy Canon point-and-shoot to replace my last one. It is clear he put a lot of consideration into which one to get, and this morning while I was sleeping he snuck out of the house and raced to an electronics store to buy me an SD card so I could use it right away! That guy :love:
$$$$$$$$$$$$
Jack Daniels! A pity I couldn't touch a drop of it until I get off these painkillers.
An unexpected few days at the in-laws. Its actually been kinda fun. I got some candy too.
Hmm...I kept being pestered on what I wanted, and after I said nothing a zillion times, I finally gave the choice of FFIV/After Years for Android or Dynasty Warriors 8. I got Dynasty Warriors 7, lol. I'm not sure what the point is in asking someone, who does not want a present, what they want if you aren't going to listen to the response. I have a trip to make to Gamestop for an exchange. I do much prefer gift cards if people are determined to get gifts, but they don't know how to shop. If you just don't know then it makes their gift giving so pointless even when they try. Sorta funny though.
I got a set of Nike shoes for Christmas, which are absolutely awesome..let's find out what the new year has in for me..?
I hope it was mint chocolate!Quote:
