Older siblings and I have done a mutual "no gifts" thing for a while, saves a lot of money with such a big family ha ha.

Got my little bro a nerf gun (and myself the same one, should be some good cardio heh). Little sis just wanted a voucher, easy as.

Got the parents a Magnum of French red, wine is always a good fallback.

And have given the Lady a shopping budget. Will drive her around after xmas (her birthday is just after new years, so we do something combined in between the two). Figure she gets to shop, sales are on, she gets some nice things (what she wants mainly!), and saves me having to think about what to buy. We both win :jive:

Ive been a scrooge most years because Ive been a poor haha but seeing as its my official first year in the work force (and I just got a raise) I went and brought each of my family members something. Got one of the lil bros some skull candy headphones, the other one a samsung galaxy, got the old man a kettlebell and mum got some charm thing for her charm bracelet.

For myself the boys have convinved me to buy a ps3 and a turtlebeach headset so we can party up in that phaggy mw3 (I will be using it for bf3 :twisted: ) and a 32" hd tv to go with it I think :grin:

Xmas is a bad time for my pocket 3 nephews and 1 niece means lots of toys and cool clothes. Though this year I decided to get them outdoors more so things like badmington/volleyball set (slighty jelly kind of want one fo myself) boogie board (spelling??) wetsuits and towels. And if they don't use them keep them for me when I pop some out :doh: .

Mrs was a ladeda ticket and new years accomm paid for some clothes token card and chocs.

Mum was a regifted gift basket and topped it up for good measure LOL

Bought masses of stuff for the kids (21, 10, 7) including remote control trucks, MP3 player, enough clothes for a small country, games, techdecks etc.

Parents (and inlaws) got bubbly, gift vouchers, books, bodyshop stuff etc

Got Lisa a GT BMX & stripped it back and added custom paint (purple pearl & chunky silver) and helmet :pfft: :grin:

Got myself some speakers for the kingi and a new skateboard. (And if I have enough change after paying the monthly bills I might treat the kingi to a trip to the mechanics to tidy up a few issues (and an aftermarket starter motor) before big Tone preps the beast for paint. \:D/ )

If you guys and gals could all take note that Uncle Harry likes Chivas and is happy to accept xmas gifts any time of the year that would be great!

Yes it is anabolic!

What a scam! You're not even a real person!

So true, I am actually a not for profit organisation that provides health care and medicines for needy orphans.... and they desperately need Chivas. Not those little bottles either guys, be generous!
