I can educate you properly on the sublime uses of a crock pot, so hit me up when you feel like eating like a king for cheap.

[Charley]

I forgot a baggie of toasty coconut coffee, which I can't wait to drop in the french press!

[Karl Valten]

Practical Stuff
Motorola Electrify Smart Phone
Titan Glacier Mountain Bike

COOKIES!

[Vince]

I got a:

bag of Peanut M&Ms
A Wahl beard trimmer (so now I can look as dirty as I want and not as dirty as I have to!)
A 50$ Visa Gift Card
10$ Wawa Card
T-Shirts (Stafford: high end shirts = really comfy)
Canister of Tootsie rolls
Brut Deodorant and Aftershave for smelling manly
50$ Cash from the Grandmother
A travelling kit which includes: a manicure set, three combs, bar soap in a travelling container, and a toothbrush
And a Timex WatchWhat this tells me is that I'm a hard person to get gifts for. I like everything I got (especially the trimmer as it cuts down the ghastly amount needed for razor blades), and it's all very practical, which I like; but the big gifts were given to my brothers and sister. Oh well, it's not like I need much, and things I need/want (kindle fire or a new laptop) are a bit too expensive, so maybe next year.

[Peter McCoy]

Charlie and Christin - I want to see your own photographs of the assembled Lego cruisers - NOT stock photo's. You have to be in the photo or it didn't happen!

As for me I got:

£100 in cash
Walt Disney DVD: Chip 'N' Dale - Rescue Rangers - First Collection (3 discs)
Assorted Cadbury's chocolate awesome-ness
Levi Strauss t-shirt and a new pair of denim jeans
Tickets to see Paul McCartney at the Liverpool Echo Arena (the concert was on Tuesday and it was awesome!)

The above was from the folks. The cash was from assorted people including £20 from my little sister, which will be used in the current Steam/GoG.com sale!

The missus got me a new black Logitech keyboard and a steelseries Kinzu Pro Gaming optical mouse (with braided USB cable!) to replace the white mouse and keyboard I've had for the last few years (to go with my more recent black monitor and tower). She also got me a black "Why So Serious!?" Joker t-shirt and a nice Avon shaving set and a Galaxy Selection Box. And then about an hour later when we were downstairs with her family (we exchange gifts upstairs in her room out of the way) she remembered the main present - a Year subscription to Edge Magazine, woot!

Her folks got me a pair of pyjamas, cardigan, shower gift set and pair of slippers. Her other relatives got me more gift sets and a shirt. Then as combined presents, her folks got us a dining ste and a table and chairs for our new house (moving in sometime in March), her brother got us a microwave and her other brother got us a clothes iron. Someone got us a set of towels too. Did pretty dawn well off them!

Droo bought me an awesome book to increase my geekiness beyond its already God-like state - the Alien Vault - a sort of scrap book of behind the scenes stuff form the makin gof Alien. Aside from the book itself, there are various pull-outs and leaflets and assorted things inserted, such as a large sheet with the schematics of the Nostromo on it. Just what the Doctor ordered with prometheus on the way!
