    I got my parents a sweet Denon Receiver with an upscaling DVD player... that was pretty awesome... I got my inlaws a pretty sweet visa gift certificate so they could pick out a nice HDTV of their own choosing... I got my brother a pretty sweet charcoal grill so he could cook me steaks...

    All of the other gifts were semi-sweet (at least according to me)... they range from Legos for a nephew to a purse for my sister... very meh but cool to the person who is getting them.

    I'm getting a DS from my mum. And I got Guitar Hero for my brother.

    Also I blended custom teas for everyone based on my knowledge of what things they like the taste of.

    Also also, I'm giving an absolutely ridiculous amount of booze as a present to everyone that's coming to mine on christmas.

    I go home yesterday to find a package for me. Its authentic New York Cheesecake, fedexed in a freezer package! Me and the person who sent it always talk about getting cheesecake every time I visit New York, but never do. So her sending that just made my week. Plus, I've already eaten half the cheesecake.


    I'm getting my mom money because she wants some minor cosmetic surgery for christmas. Why not help her pay for it? Woo?

    The best gift I'm giving is a horrifyingly fuzzy stuffed bear and goofy stuffed monkey for my niece.

    She is two years old and appreciates fuzzy and soft things.

    The rest is an assortment of gift cards and fine smokables, because I am a terrible gift giver.

    Oh also I got my girlfriend a couple of CDs she mentioned she desperately wanted a few months ago, but couldn't find because they haven't been in production for a few years. They were a bitch to get hold of.

    Bite the bullet and give her a gift certificate to the mall or her favorite store and a note saying you want to go shopping with her. It will be a huge pain in the ass for a few hours, but she'll get what she wants and you'll get some sex out of it for spending time quality time with her doing something she likes.

    I had a friend of mine mention wanting some out-of-print CD that was a band's first on an independent label. Basically, nobody had one. I ended up ordering a copy from Switzerland. I have no idea how they ended up with rare CDs but damned if I wasn't pleased with that gift.

    I wouldn't call any of my gifts awesome but I have managed to buy people what they asked for, even though the CDs one of my brothers wanted was a little hard to get hold of.

    I'm not incredibly inventive.

    Yes, she's in Sheffield.

    This week we're basically chilling out at her place, but we're leaving tomorrow to go to London, and after that, Worthing, to visit her parents. We're coming back on the 29th, but also are leaving for EddieDean's New Year's party on New Years' Eve.

    I leave the 6th of January, but we really don't have much planned for that last week. We could do something then, if you're not busy.

    Alright, I know I'll be going to visit my filthy Liverpudlian half of the family in early January, but it should only be for a couple of days. I'll get back to you when I know exactly when I'll be free, and I've checked travel costs.

    Or if you two fancy coming to Nottingham, I will show you the sights and treat you to the best tea you'll find in England.

    Either way, I'm pretty certain I'll be able to see and/or touch innapropriately both of you in person.

    When he's on SNL, he is hysterical. The Homelessville sketch was pretty much the Omeletteville sketch from when he first hosted, yet still funny as most anything in recent SNL history. I wish I could find the video of Omelettesville, but it lives on in my memories.
