Christmas presents! What are you giving and expecting to receive?
 

Anything odd? Spending a fortune or keeping it low? Or am i asking too early?

A lump of coal :( Santa never visits :BangBang:

The problem with decent amounts of cash is that if you want something you buy it. I miss the days where i would be happy with a new cd or gadget during christmas or a birthday.

It all means shit now and people know it.

I'm giving alot to nephews and neices and cousins. I'm getting tires and a computer although I always feel weird asking for stuff.

you could give me some money and maybe u would feel good?

bought my mom a Fondu Set
bought my dad a Gucci Belt
bought my brother 2 Metro Zip-Up sweaters
bought my kid brother a playstation2 game

expecting Jean Paul Gauthier cologne
that is all :Graucho

keeping low for the most part, and i am not sure what i am getting

I'm pretty sure i'm getting an Ipod and i'm giving my wife another coach bag ...but thats what she wants ....

I have been annoyed the past few years with the gift buying. I have a fairly small family and everyone goes crazy and spends a ton of money on eachother. Thats very nice but.....we are all grownups now and don't need a thing. I hate the stress of HAVING to find a gift for someone even though they dont need or want it. I think its different for kids or students who get usefull things.

I am seriously thinking about sending out a letter to all friends and family next year telling them I will gladly donate 100 bucks to the charity of their choice and ask them to do the same for me.

keeping it low this year.

im baking my grandparents favorite desserts for them as gifts & only got a gift or two for everyone else.

i did, however, spend a shit load on my niece (as always lol)

:glugglug

thats a nice idea :thumbsup

It doesn't work. :(

i've spent around $500 for all the gifts i will distribute to my friends and families...but i'm not expecting anything in return...i'm happy to see them happy.

I bought my dad Garmin e-trex GPS handheld. Still got a few left to buy for my mom nieces and a few others. Thinking bout getting Lens a new server :1orglaugh

i bought myself a new zippo.

wo hoo

lol I ordered some coffee pods for the new Senseo a friend sent me for xmas. Thats about the extent of my gifts to myself I guess

I'm giving everything and expecting nothing.

I'm getting my dad this:

And I bought a nice multimedia car system for myself :glugglug

I'm taking my wife to see her family. She really misses not being with them for christmas and its been two years.

For myself, I have everything i need.

The hubby and I pretty much just let each other buy what we want, although he gave me one present early... A gorgeous Mystic Fire Topaz ring. We are really only spending on the kids this year...


They got a leapster, a bunch of games, a microscope set, I'm planning on getting my son a bigger cf card for his digital camera (he's 6), my daughter got a stuffed pony twice as big as her.. the baby got some really neat stuff she's going to love.. bought the in-laws a bunch of stuff they will love, just have to shop for a few friends and the kitties and we're done :)

We're giving the in-laws gift checks and checks and bonds to others. I'm giving Tony a dvd box set he wanted, plus some stuff I think he needs. I'm guess that he will give me gift cards, since that's what I asked for.

I asked for a lazer leveler.

Pretty much anything else I really want costs too much to handle this year.

Bought myself this:

so far.

Bought my dad a glass chess set... made out of shot glasses :Graucho

Going to get my moms gift now, a bunch of champange glasses, a purse, and a nice picture frame set with pictures of when I was young.

My sis gets some dvds.

My gf - i got her some $$ pants, and probably gonna take her to a play or somethin.

ho ho ho

He's a christmas present

Im so tired of commercial holidays, so Im going skiing for 7 days.
I invited my brother and four of my best friends, which dont have money, and I paid it all instead of buying meaningless shit. We gonna go downhill skiing, party and just have fun.

Christmas to me means a time for friends and family to get together, placing most (I can not say all) differences aside, eating, laughing, watching the kids open their gifts, drinking and have a wonderful time.

As for expectations, my only real concern is getting back to my office so I can get busy.

Now thats a great christmas.

Giving out mad video games, expecting jack in return.

Same here :(

awesome

I've already gotten part of it, (acoustic guitar found on ebay for $4.95 - plays very well!). Sana Chan and My boy sylvan got me a full Nightmare Before Christmas bedding/comforter set!! I'm not sure if I should expect more or not, so I'll just hope. There are a couple of thigns that I'd love to have, and both are under $100.

God I'm a cheap date.

As for what I'm giving, I must decline to comment. Certain recipiants are GFY regs. :glugglug

I spent about $600. I honestly do not care whether I receive a gift or not. I've even told several people not to buy me anything. No guilt. I just want to have a good time and a good meal.

The only gift I got so far has been a Sidekick II for a friend, for myself I'm thinking about getting a nice B&M watch, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in NY.

Giving:

a food sealer
a banjo
a coat
a necklace
cash
Toys for Tots

Receiving:

a t-shirt
a leg & back massager
