    Guess its that time of the year again. Christmas. Only 25 more days to go. My question: what gifts are you giving this year, and to whom. I really only have two people I'm buying Christmas gifts for this year, my sisters. One in particular is hard to shop for since she never gives me a Christmas list so I have no idea what to get her, all I know is that she loves clothing so I thought I would give her 60$ in a card so she can get whatever she wants, she's very picky. As for my older sister (actually she's just a year younger than me in fact) she absolutely loves anime, one of her favourites is Inuyasha. So I went out and bought her Inuyasha The Final Act Set 1 (which was recently acquired by ViZ and released in November of this year) so I hope that she likes it. Also I have a little extra money coming in on the 21st so I might get them something else (not to expensive) I still have to get Christmas dinner too you know lol.

    I got my mom an ornament, my mother-in-law a Phineas and Pherb pillow pet, and my brother a Portal turret figure. That's all I've got so far.

    I'm buying myself an Asus N56VZ.

    Oh, and I might buy my family some stuff as well. The next Dresden just came out, so that's one sister sorted.

    I... I don't know. I'm terrible at giving gifts, so I just get the same for everyone: money.

    I made a start on Christmas shopping yesterday. I got my mum some Sanctuary stuff from Boots which usually goes down well. I've bought my girlfriend a nice Cath Kidston tea set (tea pot, cups and saucers) plus a fancy tea collection from Whittard's and some nice biscuits. All far too cute and floral for my taste, but I'm sure she'll really like it.

    I'm waiting for my christmas bonus but it's going to be difficult this year: my brother already bought an ipad 3 (against my wishes...at least once I found out he bought it) and my dad bought a tablet earlier this year.

    I suspect heavily that I will be doing as Pike keeps saying and checking out my brothers' steam wish lists

    for parents I have no bloody idea what to do. I hope my brothers approach me for consolidated gifts.

    One of these days we'll get dad a motorised golf bag.

    I'm bringing back some books, sports gear and other random souvenirs from my trip to give to people for Christmas, made it quite a bit easier and cheaper.

    Got some visa card with a free year and 10,000 free points so I'll probably be giving away some gift cards ...free is nice (can get a couple or so $25 gift cards with that amount of points).


    Got my two nieces something too.

    I'm a big fan of regifting, primarily because I don't really have much money to go splurging. If even that isn't a viable option, I'll give them something with more sentimental value than money.

    For a secret santa at Sixth form, there's this girl who's really into pokemon so I'm making her origami pokemon as a present. It's a small thing I know but it's the thought that counts!

    I run random people over with a bulldozer so that they can claim from their insurance company and make their wallet fat for X'mas.
