XXXMAS - Gifty Give / Looty Get!

BroloBrolo BroseidonLord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
It's only 12 days until XMAS!

My favorite part of Xmas season is shopping for xmas presents. It's like a puzzle game where you have to pick the right gift for the right person.

Here's what I've picked up so far:

D3OXrdI.png
For my sister's boyfriend

agT6oyM.jpg
For my older brother

hImjtFU.png
For my nephew (his son)

ZimO15H.png
For my sister, who said she needs a dresser.

Still out to lunch on:

Gift for Dad
Gift for Sister in Law
Gift for Mom

So you dudes tell me what you're getting for people, or alternatively what you've gotten so far so I can plunder your gift ideas.

    And thinking about this for my girlfriend, who also really wants a dresser, and I happen to know she needs it since we live in the same bedroom:

    but I can't decide between that or maybe:

    or possibly:

    but honestly I'm not sure if I should even get her furniture, it's not exactly a fun gift

    I've also considered a nintendo 3ds or a Wii U since she's a big Zelda fan, but I'm not sure if she'd get as much utility out of those. She does do some gaming, but tends to pick up a game for a few hours and then just stop playing it for months at a time

    Or maybe some kind of secondary monitor to use since she's a digital artist, although what she really needs is a cintiq (or rather, this), but that's still a little outside of my price range

    grr, not sure on this one

    My last gift just arrived in the mail today.

    It's all over now.

    I can now relax and cry while I stare at my bank account.

    yeah I'm kinda glad that I found a decent-paying contract job right before the holiday season

    reasonably I should probably save some of this money

    but fuck that GIFTS FOR EVERYBODY

    So one of my nephews is big into Ninja Turtles and I found out he doesn't have a single one.

    Guess I get to be the cool uncle and get him a Ninja Turtle.

    Sier's knitting up a bunch of gifts for the tinier nephews and her parents.

    My shopping list is absolutely tiny. I've got a Secret Santa for my work which is completely nonconsequential because it's $25 cap and everyone is just buying each other gift cards, my sister, who is fundamentally obsessed with Skyrim and Dragon Age 2, and so I'm buying her a PSN gift card so she can buy some DLC for the stuff on her PS3, and my girlfriend.

    Who, well, I did buy something nice for.

    Got her a matching pendant as well, although I can't seem to find it on the jeweler's website. Blue and white diamonds, kinda small but they're fucking gorgeous.

    As for gifts, I have received only a single gift from my wonderful lady so far.

    This is the best mug ever and I will accept no substitutes.

    Amazon vouchers for everyone.

    They don't like it? They should have had a public wishlist.

    I managed to get to the stores tonight while the kids were with their mom. ~$500 later, I got a WiiU, WindwakerHD, Mario3DLand, and a bunch of skylanders.

    My son just wants the WiiU, Skylanders Swap, and every skylander. He wants Lego Marvel too, but I plan to just buy that on Steam as my gift to him. Hopefully it gets a discount between now and Xmas.

    My daughter asked Santa for an electric piano. A $1000 electric piano. Her mother put the idea in her head, so she's buying it. This is good, as I now have no money.

    They're sold out on the Disney Store. Newegg has the EVE one but no WALL-E.
    That's the extent of my learnings so far.

    Got my girlfriend this, but due to money situations I wasn't able to order it in time for it to get here for Christmas.

    So I'm going to have to warn her and hope that she doesn't grill me on what this particular surprise is going to be!

    I was going to get my dad some crown royal for his birthday, but I always feel a little guilty about buying booze as a present.

    I LOVE GIVING PRESENTS

    mom - purse and watch she picked out for herself (normally I hate straight-up asking what people want instead of divining it magically but she is impossible to shop for) and we are all going in on a new laptop
    dad - bread baking cookbook, slippers, pottery tools
    brother - posts here so I'm not saying
    sister-in-law - book from wishlist, cat scarf, cat checkbook cover, sparkly hair tie things, head bands
    sister-in-law's sister - leg warmers, OPI polish set
    9 month old adorable best niece ever - three board books and an outfit
    grandma - sparkly gold leopard print shirt (it's awesome) and pants
    various friends - tardis tea (thanks @lostwords for the idea!), fairy tale refrigerator prose magnetic word set, leather wrap bracelet with a quote, envirosax bags, gloves, boozy baker cookbook

    I am just waiting on a few online orders and then I can finish wrapping everything, which I also love to do.

    YAY GIFTS
