What are you getting for Christmas from family ?

I am getting a gift card and a Mustang gt500 1/18 model from my two boys

I got myself a seiko 5 auto as a "daily bash around don't care if it's scratched" watch

I asked my wife to get me work cloths. She said but you have to get those. My response "The gift is that I don't have to go get them!"

My two sons replenished my liquor cabinet for my birthday, since they were the ones to drink most of it!

For Christmas I don't expect anything.

That way, I'll be surprised!

I got my gift in September - a combo birthday/Christmas/anniversary/next birthday and-then-some gift. Yeah, it was that cool classic car.

Nothing from the family since it am almost officially single, however I did buy myself a Nikon D700, LR3 and the Topaz bundle.

I also have a "I am free" gift coming up...trip to Yellowknife NWT to see the Northern Lights! I can't wait.

Angry looks, genuine contempt, an apathetic tone and a general projection of disgust.

I have no idea and that is how it should be.
One christmas my daughter gave me a scrapbook with pix of all the cars and bikes I have pottered around in over the years.
Best present I ever received.

I'm getting this helmet from my parents
I'm getting myself the Shield that changes when its dark or light out.

Hopefully a cheap tv for my room.

I am getting my FIL something that he really likes and I can enjoy it too.

MIL a 50$ gift card to barnes n noble.

I don't know what to get my parents.

My 5 year old is spoiled by my parents and In Laws and already has everything he could ever want So I'm getting him the new Kung fu panda movie and taking him to go see the new chipmunk movie in theaters. Maybe a nerf exploderz that he begs for when the commercial comes on.

I just moved into my InLaws and their bills are about to get so much higher that I hope they really don't get me anything.

I need a good idea for a gift for my girlfriend that says, "Sorry I moved 1500 miles away, I still care about you, but goodbye"

(I'm in a really weird and different situation than most 25 year olds)

Well for the past 3 weeks I've been trying to find a great deal on a Mont-Blanc Meisterstuck Classique Ball Point. And I finally found one! My parents are paying for most of it!

I have no idea......probably a Jimi Hendrix calendar, some CD's and perhaps a bit of money to put in a guitar pedal saving fund!
