Post by: sprite75 on December 07, 2016, 09:02:12 AM I made my mom a calendar with photos I've taken, I've done that every year since 2006. So this will be year 11 of me doing that. I'm thinking of doing a photo gift of some sort for my sister this year again.
I got my brother in law the 30th anniversary edition of the Transformers movie. Got my feline nieces and nephew some toys for Christmas. Otherwise I haven't done too much shopping yet. Too many other things were going on with school. Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas?

Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas? Post by: ER on December 07, 2016, 10:01:34 AM For all my Democrat friends, a contribution to the Donald Trump 2020 campaign. For all my Republican friends, a contribution to the Fund To Stop Global Warming. What are they giving me? I hope a head-start when they collectively come after me...

I think not posting on that crazy thread would be a great present for us on Badmovie.org :) Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas? Post by: Alex on December 07, 2016, 10:50:23 AM Wrapped Kristi's presents last night which is normally the point where I stop buying stuff for someone. At that point I'd gotten her a Harry Potter Wizarding chess set (which I had to get her as I found a copy of Knightmare Chess and you need a normal chess set to play that), the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, Magic he gathering boardgame & expansion, a model for the X-Wing game, a Lego Jurrassic World set, copy of another bunch of Harry Potter short stories and a limited edition of Star Trek Beyond that comes with some model ships and some Magic the gathering cards as a stocking filler. Must be a couple of other things that I've forgotten about,b ut that should cover most of it.
If anyone ever does an official crossover between Harry Potter and Star Trek I am going to have to buy a bigger house. But anyway, Older brother & his family: A copy of Ticket to Ride & the 1910 expansion. Younger brother & his son: Since I got them into playing X-Wing, I bought them some new ships for it. Younger brothers fiancee: Since she is the non geek of the family she is getting some jewellery and a scarf. Mum: Woolly cardigan. Little Sister: Elf on a shelf (just to wind my mum up as she needs to find new places to put it) & some jewellary. Aunt: Fleece blanket. Uncle: A bottle of something alcoholic. Mother in law: No idea at the moment. Younger sister in law: Dr Who Lego. Younger brother in law: X-Wing (I know a lot of Star Wars fans). Other younger sister in law: Expansion set for Betrayal At The House on the Hill. Nephew 1 & 2: Remote control Sumo Wrestlers. Nephew 3: Some sort of model. Neice 1 & 2: A female Superhero school playset and some dolls to go with it. I know I am getting a new leather biker jacket as I'd to try it on for size and I've dropped heavy hints for a copy of Pandemic: Cthulhu. Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas?

I got the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas comic, Rick and Morty stuffed dolls, a box of chocolates, and a small bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans, plus a short visit from the woman I love (we watched half of Doris Wishman's Each Time I Kill). I gave a dual-action personal pleasure device as a gag gift to a friend, and she now claims she has no further need for men, so that was...a good thing? Yeah, I pretty much hate the holidays.

Still got some stuff to get when I get home to Scotland, but that should be most of it.

Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas? Post by: Zapranoth on December 27, 2016, 03:05:26 AM Cash, pants, a laundry basket, a book, a router, "Skyrim," and this baby... ([url]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y86/tedprior/738329204020.jpg[/url]) Oh my goodness. Is that movie really a contender for "Worst ever?" Looks really bad from the bits I saw on youtube. Ominously low production values. The coolest present I got this year was Absolute Sandman volume 1. I had never read any of it before. :) Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas? Post by: retrorussell on December 27, 2016, 03:42:22 AM Got a lovely, super-durable electric griddle for pancakes, meats, hash browns, whatever.
Also got a brand-spanking new set of stainless steel silverware. Just dumped out all the old, scratched, rusting silverware and am thrilled to finally have the good stuff! And I got a flannel shirt and candies/cookies. And my dad made me one of those 15-holed games with the pegs: (http://www.gibell.net/pegsolitaire/gif/CrackerBarrelPuzzle_lg.jpg) I got my brother a poster of the very stupid move (he likes it for its cheesiness) TIMERIDER, and my mom sewed him a hoodie and I acrylic-painted the old Denver Nuggets logo on it. Hope y'all had a happy Xmas! Title: Re: What Are You Giving/Getting for Christmas? Post by: Rev.

Ominously low production values. Not worst ever, but bottom 1% for sure! The never-reliable Ted V. Mikels directs from a script by Wayne "Trapper John" Rogers. |
