For my niece's, my brother is going to hate me chirstmass morning
I made a rosewood carving for a family secret santa thing. That's about it, we're not really big on christmas here.
I wanted to buy a turkish grill for my dad but he says he doesn't want anything so nothing he will get. People always say they want nothing when they probably really want something, it's annoying.
Like I mean come on, this would have been a badass (cooking related) present

A shitload of chocolate for my mum, dad, stepmum and stepdad, and a bag of sweets each for my stepbro and stepsis. I'm cheap and don't know what else to get :frown:
I met this guy-- [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDtbC1kgp0U&feature=fvst[/media]
--at the store, he was from our town and my mom likes him, so I got him to call her and a family friend and wish them a Merry Christmas. Got my mom a signed CD by him too.
Fat Walmart ladies don't like it when I open CDs to get signed by artists in the store though.
Got all the presents sorted but I've just realised I forgot to get cards for family...
Cards don't matter too much...right?
Got mom a book.
My sister "The Last Airbender" dvd, because she has some bizarre attraction to anything remotely crap.
My best friend "Retromancer" by Robert Rankin, a foam Pacman ghost keyring and, due to his obsession with Scott Pilgrim, I completely re-did the cover of book six, replacing the characters with him and his friends and made it into a desktop background for him.
My dad, some dick shaped biscuits. It's a running joke now, but gets sort of old when throughout the next year you have to put up with dick ice cubes in your drinks, dick shaped fried eggs etc. etc.

Haha, I never knew that about your dad xD That's quite hilarious xD
You're so awesome Jess :) Thanks so much for the picture. I'll upload it to this post later for everyone else, but it's incredible.
Mom & Boyfriend:
Kevin Bridges DVD and Dance Nation 80s CD.
Dad & Girlfriend:
Banksy DVD, Elvis CD, QI Book 2, and Dara O'Brian's book.
Sister & Grandparents:
Jacket, Spongebob DVD, Hush Hush (book), and Toy Story 3
^Jessbinx:
Skullcandy Headphones
Girlfriend:
4 CD's
A purse
T-Shirt
A special edition Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book.
Ugg boots.
Ruby and Diamond earrings.
So all in all I spent about..£750 on presents, and about £650 that was my girlfriend alone >_>
I got my mom a $50 purse that she'll use for work to carry food and stuff -- it's a cloth one.
I got my brother Prof. Layton for DS.
I got my dad a $30 tie that looks really good.
It sucks though, it's the worst Christmas ever. I got small $15 slippers that I'm returning that I have no use for, a $16 ugly shirt that I'm returning and giving the money back to my mom, a mug filled with candy which I just put out for everyone to eat, and 3 pairs of socks that I'm keeping. On top of that my brother and father don't speak to me and it sucks.
By far the worst Christmas ever... socks :frown:
Walking Dead Compendium 1 for a co worker.
Gift card to Starbucks for my mom.
Mom: An iPod Touch Case (Red wings)
Sister: Coffee and a $15 dollar gift card to Applebees.
Dad: Black Ops on PC
I got my mom the last "Sookie Stackhouse" (novels who inspired TrueBlood) tome
She likes that stuff.....sadly, she also like Twilight
:colbert:
I made a wooden plate.
I am about to buy the following:
Soviet PMG Gasmask
Soviet Army Veschemeshok Backpack
Spetsnaz Special Forces Gloves
Steel Mess Kit
Mini Tool Set
Grappling Hook
Emergency Thermal Blankets (4 pack)
250 Piece First Aid Kit
Spetsnaz Special Forces Shovel
Stainless Steel Vodka Flasks
I also have a Ushanka that came with a Russian ruble, and two small sickle and star pins, along with one huge one with gold stuff.
In total I've bought for family members:
Sennheiser Earbuds
iPod Touch 4G
Sony eReader PRS-650
Tassimo Coffee maker
LCD photo frames
Various Xbox 360 games
$400 in cash/gift certificates
Automatic watch winder (one of those revolving machines, obscenely and unnecessarily expensive)
All in all it would have been around $1400, but being a computer technician with EPP's through my company I was able to save around $600.
