“Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.” - Loren Eiseley
i got this from my sister
to go with a joker i already had
then i got casino royale, star trek and mad men season 1 and 2 on blu ray
and electric shaver
and 400 bucks
A pair of binoculars that is also a digital camera (???)
2 rad cookbooks
Book about mathematical patterns in nature
A shitload of scones and chocolate
A pair of TOMS shoes (merry Xmas, random African kid)
Dead Guy ale
Slingshot pocket calendar
2 xkcd shirts
A sweet octopus shirt
A lava lamp
it's either "here I'd rather throw money at you than think of something you might enjoy" or "I don't trust you to get me anything I would like so just give me money so I can buy my own present that will have little meaning to me outside of its general use"
neither of those are good present scenarios
at least in the very narrow definition of what I think a present should be
I dunno, I got £200 off my parents and I'm pretty pleased with that.
I also got a few small things but the money was the main thing.
e: Though I would say a thoughtful present is a better present then money (Parents got me a really nice pen, after I mentioned in passing a jewelry store that I liked having a nice pen to do exams and such )
16gig iPod Nano
Kingdom Heart 358/2 Days
Assassin's Creed II
Gamestop gift card
Box of cigars + humidor
Kickin' rad nutcracker
Ken Burns' The War
Some action figures from the new Star Trek
I never really buy gifts for myself so if I am given 200-600 dollars it would just go into the bank and I would have an empty christmas
I feel the same way if I get one to three expensive presents instead of a bunch of little ones that I can fool around with for the next few days I have off

bad opinion
not really
money is never a good present
useful, maybe
but never good
But Shoe, what if I had wanted cold hard cash?

It doesn't make money a bad present.
if someone's just gonna get me money or demand what i want and just get me that, then i'd really rather just not get a present
the whole appeal of giving gifts is to really brighten someone's day with a really awesome or thoughtful gift they weren't expecting
treating christmas and birthdays as 'free stuff day' always bugged me a little
just saying, presents should be fun, if at all possible
I mean if you're broke and you NEED that money then yeah, I can sympathize
