I've basically asked for a bunch of CDs, DVDs and books for christmas, so i don't really know what i'll get. Did ask for another HDD for my PC, but i think i asked too late so probably wont be getting that one.

I bought my GF a Kindle as well as making her a little booklet out of some faux leather and card which i'll be trying to do tonight. Got my brother the special edition of the new Family Guy season, comes with a t-shirt and other stuff. Mum and dad got fairly usual stuff, like beer, CDs, books and Queen memrobilia.

What about you guys?

All I want are clothes and CDs :/

But I am planning to get my step dad the true grit DVD. Dont know what I should get my step brother or my mum. But I am trying to arrange gig tickets for my best friend.

Damn, sorry Kenny.


There's nothing really I want, except a way to get to school without riding the bus.


I'm getting: my sister an iTunes gift card
My best friend a hideous $30 clutch she wanted
Another friend a fossil brand necklace
My best guy friend those glow in the dark stars you put on your ceiling
My brother the Focus game (I think that's what it's called)
My mom expensive hand lotion

Giving my parents a gift card to Cracker Barrel (they both like eating there) and a $50 prepaid Visa card. That way they can go have a night out.

Giving my sister and her family a $100 Visa card because, well, reasons I ain't going into.

That's it. Not buying for anyone else. Not even asking for anything either.

Freaky. I was staring at that exact same DVD in tescos last Sunday, contemplating whether to buy it for my mum. In the end I didn't buy it.

Instead I spent some of the £65 saved from my birthday on her. I got her a fancy small box of three mini Jack Daniels whiskey bottles (I, of course am not legal and got my big sister to buy it xD). I also already had got her a massive (and I mean massive!) box of thorntons chocolates. I also got her a house plant: a small orchid thing that she mentioned she liked. I spent £22 in total. She deserves it though, it took me a lot to spend that money... I hate spending money, even on myself.

I'm getting a few PS3 games (Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 & Assassin's Creed (I)) and Devil May Cry (I) on the PS2. I also remember her ordering a whole load of cheap Black Butler mangas off of amazon too. Like, four volumes. Before I had made a list of stuff I wanted and it only came to under £50, so at the time I could have bought it all with my own money anyway. Therefore, my mum asked me to add more since my list was the cheapest. I just added some perfume and a cheap watch (since mine broke). She told me that she just went out and bought other stuff too since she realised upon wrapping presents that my big sister had more.

Now that I think about it, with the money I still have left over I could have bought all of it by myself anyway... I have about £1800 saved in my bank account since I was little so I could always add to that with the money I have left. Although... my mum is getting a load of money soon since my dad owed her hundreds of thousands of pounds but he died and so after a six year battle it is finally being paid out to my mum and a lot of other creditors... no joke. She said that she was giving all three of us like £10,000 so we can pay for our own driving lessons and such in the future. She should really be putting a fair amount in her pension or something. We still haven't sold our old house which is worth £200,000 so when that gets sold... I just hope she doesn't spend it all on bras . She has an underwear fettish xD.

I'm extremely happy now though. It means there will be less strain on her since she has a very low income due to her being a part-time working single mother with three kids and a deceased father... before he was dead he never paid any child fees anyway, making it twice as hard on her. Moving house really sis create a fresh start. We can forget daddy, auntie heather, all the wellcoats and start anew ^-^! It's all I could ever want for Yule.

[Britty-kitty]

I'm getting Rosewater Evelyn and Crabtree body stuff, they are my favorite and the only way to get it because it's from Europe is to order it online so when I found out my mom ordered it I was so incredibly happy. I found out because she had to ask me what it was called and I had to help her order it but I don't mind, it was sweet of her.

I got my school books which makes me happy because I wanted to read them ahead of time before my semester begins again. I've got 2 of them read already and I have 7 more to read but it's not all that bad.

Then I got Napoleon China Doll foundation, Smashbox primer, and LORAC face powder which all together was about $150 so that was all I asked for actually, and my books.

I also ended up spending my whole pay check on my friends and parents. I got my mom this really pretty coral that she's been wanting to set on the table in the living room. I got my dad some sort of tool kit to go in his woodshop and because he's been asking for new one's. I made my really good friend a necklace, and got her a vampire necklace and the movie The Monster Squad. I got my other friend a disney snow globe because she collects them and a diamond hello kitty necklace that she's been wanting. I got another friend the new Mastodon CD that he's been gushing over for the past 2 months and my gay best friend a burberry scarf because that's pretty much all he wanted so me and 2 of my other friends pitched in and all got it for him.

So I got my guy friend an actual gift.
In return he gives me old issues of the school newspaper.
Wat.

I got: some chinos, a new top, new camera and a new phone, fuck loads of chocolate and a new jacket (and of course the essential christmas socks)

[gizme98]

I got a gorgeous miss may I baseball jacket, a parkway drive poster, a beautiful silver butterfly necklace from my gran in South Africa, a nice top with a corset lace thing at the back and fuck loads of chocolate. I'm a bit upset that I never got my shoes though. But I got £50 from my gran so I could probably buy them myself. I managed to contact my friend from bury the betrayal to get tickets for my bff's Xmas prezzie for their next gig which is next month. I have a feeling I'm getting an ear stretching kit from her since she asked me if I was still planning to strech my ears and to what size when we were talking about Xmas. The next time I see her is on Tuesday when she's getting snakebites so I will just have to wait!

Sounds like a typical guy. Guys are often clueless about things.

So I got a gift card to Barnes and Noble from my parents. Not bad considering I kept saying that I didn't want anything.

That sucks. Last year i didn't get my girlfriend many good gifts, but she got me quite a few good ones. This year i made up for that by buying her a Kindle, making her a note book with my own fair hands and a couple of other little things, and she just got me similar to what i got her last year, lol. I'm not really that bothered though.

I wouldn't of minded it if he had highlighted words to make a message, or done something witty like that.
But I've been on staff all four years, I already have old papers.

Why didn't you want anything?

You fancy.
I know a guy who bought his gf a new iphone. She bought him a Rollex.

Christmas doesn't really seem that important. And I really ain't a big fan of receiving gifts.

[Kira...]

A memorial back piece for my uncle who died last year in a car accident. It will streach from shoulder. To shoulder. And take up a good portion of my back. That man deserves it. <3

As it stands, I'm getting a new jacket, a few decks of cards and a frisbee (hoping to join the local ultimate frisbee team) from my mum, I have no clue what my dad or my sister are getting me. My girlfriend has got me this teddy and a bracelet that matches hers.

[sarena]
