Brag about yer gifts here
 
Only physical gift I got was Skyrim...spent the last 10 hours playing :beatup:

Cool tobes, how are you liking it? (I'm guessing pretty well, 10 hours already jesus)

I got nothing, and gave nothing. First year it's worked out perfectly like that. Though my aunt is going to buy me a pair of shoes sometime this week, so there's that. I bought myself some business casual attire that I need a couple weeks ago so that's pretty awesome.

I guess you know you're an adult when clothes start being good gifts.

Dead Frequency 12-26-2011 03:56 AM

I got kitchen rags and tupperware.

I was at Kops on Friday! Love dat store, I always spend like, an hour there just browsing their 45's. But I hate that they never have Daniel Johnston or Sebadoh albums in stock. Have you been to the basement record store at Queen and Carlaw?

pale_princess 12-26-2011 09:59 AM

I've been there too, several times. A guy named Dwayne worked there for quite some time but he quit (I suppose he had an argument with the upstairs manager...), he was a chill bro though, got along with him very well, I remember having to cross the street to that community centre just to use the washroom.

barden 12-26-2011 10:38 AM

A friend of mine got me a book she really likes. My aunt got me a fancy chocolate.

barden 12-26-2011 10:42 AM

Mooney 12-26-2011 01:14 PM

i got a monitor for my computer, because normally its just hooked up to the tv which isn't ideal for photo editing and other things.

i got a toaster oven, because the timer went in my old one and i had to tear it apart and re-wire it to make it work and its probably a fire hazard.

i got a bunch of books. classics, since i've read very little fiction so i figured i should start with some of the best before branching off.

Mooney 12-26-2011 01:17 PM

my main present to my mom was not going on any anti-religion diatribes, and biting my tongue when she bitched about people saying 'happy holidays' and claiming that we were here first and they [brown people] can leave if they don't want to celebrate christmas. i also went to church twice in less than a twenty-four hour period.

pale_princess 12-26-2011 01:24 PM

jesus christ i hate that whole "if you don't like it LEAVE" racist bullshit re: happy holidays.

agenda suicide 12-26-2011 01:29 PM

Dad gave me two books (signed copy of Jimmy Brosch Remembers 20 Legendary Texas Czech Polka Bands and Don't Get Above Your Raisin' - Country Music and the Southern Working Class) and an Allen Oldies Band 45.
Mom gave me some money, a scarf, a shit ton of socks, a tervis tumbler and a bag of chocolates.

Dad always gives me awesome random stuff, and I love it.
