    Buying each other something for €50 this year, the balance of what we normally spend is gone towards a holiday in the states next summer.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭VinnyTGM

    Well, it's either:

    A) Shower gel

    or

    B) Nothing (Was forgotten about for the past 2 years after the family bought each other extravagent gifts, bastards! :( )

    I'd be just happy with some money, at least I can trade that for booze. :pac:

    A tracker mortgage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,495 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Them Crooked Vultures ticket for London next week. By getting, I mean already have. Also flights are paid for for it, which is quite cool. They were saying they wouldn't pay for it cos I'd have nothing on the morning...screw that, this is much better!

    Girlfriend getting me Them Crooked Vultures album on vinyl and other small things. Dunno what they'll be, so will be cool!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,260 ✭✭✭Mink


    Well myself & the other half are getting a new telly & lap top this weekend so I had the idea of saying the telly is for him & lap top for me as xmas pressies cos we're a bit strapped with buying for rest of family.

    So a laptop I guess. Though I did say to him a few weeks ago I'd like an eternity ring, white gold but with cubic zirconia instead of diamonds. Don't trust source of diamonds after watching Blood Diamond & the jewellers who probably are trustworthy - we can't afford.

    I don't know if the ring will turn up, I won't be upset if it doesn't. I think I'd rather the new Foo Fighters greatest hits to be honest... which I mentioned to him a couple weeks ago also.

    I wish my girlfriend would drop hints like that, unless she has been doing so and I've just been oblivious to them.

    Anyway, I'm getting a new Judo Gi (Suit) :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30,731 ✭✭✭✭princess-lala


    Santa is getting me a new phone and a "surprise" pandora bracelet that I said I dont need.

    Havent a clue what the brothers have gotten me :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,663 ✭✭✭JoeyJJ


    Don't know if I want anything this year, last year I got a daughter on xmas eve so no present is ever going to live up to that.

    My wife asked me not sure if i'll get an electric shaver or something else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,904 ✭✭✭cian1500ww


    Flip Ultra HD :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Overflow


    Some new Snowboard gear, PS3 games/accessories and other assorted items (socks, jocks, aftershave)


  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭_Roz_


    I have no idea what I'm getting.

    But it's apparently better than Jack L tickets (which to me is awesome), so that'll be interesting.

    I am hoping my husband will get me a charm bracelet. I know my brother is getting me a video camera. Mum always gets me jewellery.

    Today is my birthday and our 5th wedding anniversary. I am totally spoiled by family and friends. A beautiful painting and jewellery from my husband, A group of my girlfriends got together and got me the most amazing Vivenne Westwood handbag. It is beautiful. I also got a lovely guess wallet, perfume. gift tokens and flowers. I was taked out for a lovely lunch by my wonderful husband and tonight we are going to have a take away, champaigne and cake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Been dropping hints for the last 2 years about wanting a Nintendo Wii.
    Highly doubt I'll be lucky enough to get it, though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    I asked for nothing from my parents. I don't really need anything. They have been asking me lately though if my passport is still valid. I think it could be a trip to Newcastle to see a match which would be pretty cool.

    My gf got me two graphic novels, a pair of slippers, socks, two books and shower gels and body spray. (She said that was a present for her so she could sniff me) .....

    My sister is getting me two graphic novels too so a lot of reading for me over the holidays which is a nice change than getting a load of DVD's.

    I'm getting money off my parents so I can go on a mad clubbing Weekend in London and Portrush in January. They're paying for flights & accomodation from Belfast International.

    One of my sisters got me two CD's I asked for.

    No clue about anybody else or anything else, I don't need anything else really :)
