Hey everyone! I was just wondering what my fellow facepunchers have bought for their loved ones this holiday season. This is the first year I got my Christmas shopping done in a timely manner (finished last night) and I'm going to be wrapping presents tonight.
[IMG]http://www.davidpakman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/gift.jpg[/IMG]
I have an immediate family of 5 including myself, and an aunt and uncle whom I always buy presents for.
I bought...:
-Vanquish for the 360 for my older brother, 25.
-A pair of Thermoses and some Disney Princess body wash (gag gift) for my older sister, 21.
-For my parents I bought a Blu-ray player with The A-Team :buddy:, which I went and saw with my dad.
-I bought my uncle "ZZ Top's Greatest Hits", tipped off from my aunt.
-And last I got my aunt some "Aromatique: The smell of christmas" stuff, candles etc, and a fancy pair of tweezers she requested. Her birthday is two days after Christmas. I forgot once, there was hell to pay. She's a lawyer.
Just finished up my first semester in college, I'm getting paid $1100 a semester to go to school, so I was a bit more generous this year :v:.
So what did you get your family?
30+ copies of the humble indie bundle at about a buck each.
Brother: Minecraft
Brother: Super meat boy
Brother: iTunes Gift card
(3 different brothers)
Mom: Amazon gift card (she's getting a kindle)
Dad: Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass (He loves his DS)

He's a big nerd. He likes resident evil and call of duty and a lot of other shooters.

Watch as your sister loves the shit out of that gift, make that her primary body wash, and then Disney haunts you for the rest of your life. You'll regret it sonny.

Thirding this bad-personry.
Bought my mum a wireless fm transmitter for the car, other than that my gifts will be pretty last-minute and not very thoughtful
Credence Clearwater Revival CD and The Cars CD for my Mom.
HD 4850 for my Brother.

At least you're honest lol. I love my FM transmitter, radio stations here are crappy.

You're a bad person
[QUOTE=HellSoldier;26811572]You're a bad person[/QUOTE]
I fucking well am and you know it.
Unless I get money which I may get, but I doubt I will (end of term bonus), nothing, sadly.

Ya because you don't visit us anymore, jerk
I got my Mom her favorite expensive perfume. :3:
Sins of a Solar Empire for my bro.
Bought my sisters handbags, my dad a few movies.
My sister stole the idea of getting makeup for the other sister.
I would buy them something else but they aren't to imaginative with what gifts they want, so i'm stuck either getting then something cool (which i can't since both my sisters have phones, music players and such)
However I may get one sister a Kindle, not to sure though.
My mums gift is me being a coolio son :V (according to her)
The problem with Christmas presents is that I don't know what anyone wants, and then if I ask them they then know what they're getting for Christmas thus ruining the surprise.
Dad - New Computer Mouse, mousepad, and USB hub.
Mum - iPod stereo + iPod with her CD's loaded on it.
Sis - Dress that she's been wanting.
Bro - "The Bro Code" by Neil Patrick Harris + Tennis Grips.
GF - Heart necklace.
I bought a scarf for my sister
I don't buy anyone anything, I just get stuff.
For my dad, probably a game on steam, he likes the Call Of Duty games, so it'll probably be a shooter.
I'm terrible at gifts. And I don't have much money. What to get, what to get....
My family is going to the beach to get together as a present from all of us for all of us.
I bought my girlfriend FF7. $200 new so I checked out Amazon and found a Like New copy for $40. She starts playing it and apparently it doesn't recognize she has a memory card :(
Got my dad some new headphones and I'm probably gonna get my mom jewelry of some sort and stuff for her new car.
Mom
-Snuggie(She wants one)
- Handtowel with my cats face on it
-Leather customized camera case
Pop
-Mug with mom and him on it.
Grandma
