Official 2013 Christmas Loot List

[alkemyst]

Most here are going to assume that is a luxury lego kit.

Which watch did you get?

 

[brianmanahan]

you win the thread.

if anyone cares enough about watches to spend > $1k on them

fail

 

[Bubbleawsome]

update your sig.

I don't need much so just a ton of clothes, mostly I buy for the kids and stuff.

The big gift I hope works for the 11 year old is a Yamaha Acoustic/Electric.

Not in the pc yet. I'm in KY, live in TX. It's a pretty big gift for a 15 year old student. It's the iceqx2, hope it fits in my case.

Based on your gifts, I'd consider that getting just coal.

Just in cash I gave more to my two kids.

Stay angry, write a pome.

I did not. I guessed it was cigars and went to look it up.

 

[pontifex]

I was building a 1911 with my uncle but he passed away before we could complete it.
My dad is paying to have a gunsmith complete it for me.

a craftsman screwdriver set
a homemade snowman decoration made by my niece and nephew
a rock with a face drawn on it from my niece and nephew

I forgot 2 things as I was given them before Christmas:
A Buck hunting knife
An NRA plastic storage box

 

[mmntech]

Aye, I got clothes again. My mom doesn't think I have enough nice things to wear. She did replace me good argyle sweater that got ruined in the wash. Not by me. FYI, is someone is washing stuff, don't just put it in the dryer without asking.

 

[gorcorps]

Big one was the Food Saver

Also got an Avalanche hoodie, GTA5, some hunting gloves, and other assorted novelty things.

 

[madoka]

Speaking of Lego, the kids opened around 3-400 sets. And then we moved out of the house a bunch of the ones that it didn't look like they were ever going to open:

Knock a warehouse over recently...?

more than $1k of gifts to 2 kids?

jeez, can someone say spoiled rotten?

 

[compuwiz1]

Wife got a Samsung Tablet

I got some Klipsch Pro Media speakers for my computer. They blow the Bose away!

Actually, we agreed to not spend money on each other but I drew a ticket at our company party that gained me a Bose Solo tv sound system. It retails for $359 at BB, but I decided to exchange it and get us both something.

 

[deerslayer]

I got a motorcycle/atv jack, metric ratcheting wrenches, and cash.

 

[rcpratt]

Mostly work clothes (as much as getting slacks and button-down shirts for Christmas sucks, it's better than buying them myself), some Spartan gear to take to Pasadena next week, and the gf organized getting the surround sound installed (was pre-wired) with some contribution from my parents. Yay.

 

[crownjules]

EVGA GTX 660 2GB
Glendronach 15
A nice sweater from Express
A bunch of beer mugs
A couple of ice sphere makers
New coffee maker (thermal carafe, no burner)
Luke and His Father (funny little comic of if Vader actually did dad-like stuff with Luke)
The Wit and Wisdoms of Tyrion Lannister (basically a bunch of Tyrion quotes)

 

[Fritzo]

Got an orbital polisher

This weather radio (which is actually really cool)

And a new pair of Florsheims for work

Holy crap! There's an entire 401K's worth of Legos there! :awe:

What do you plan to do with those? You could send them to me, or more realistically, donate them. Or keep them, but that's a ton of Legos.

 

[brandonb]

My coworkers gave me a $50 steam funds. Nothing to buy with it that interests me yet. Pondering Kerbal Space Program though.

My family likely gave me something, probably a target gift card like what happens every year, but I still have mine from last year in my wallet unspent.

If you haven't checked it out yet and your system can handle it, try the new Tomb Raider from Steam. It's so good my wife started watching me play it because it plays out like a movie She's sitting behind me shouting at the screen "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT! Whoa! That guy needs to die! LOOK OUT!....

 

[brandonb]

I was pondering it when it went on sale earlier in the week but I still haven't played the last 3-4 tomb raiders which are in my steam game list that I purchased 2 years ago.

The new one is a completely new reboot with no relation to the previous series. The main character is Lara Croft---and she's only a teenager. She's tough, but doesn't know how to use weapons, she's lost, injured, and scared. It's a fantastic game...reminds me a bit of Far Cry 3.

awesome! Your kids are damn lucky.

 

[Megatomic]

When I saw fitbit and a Chesty for a GoPro, I was thinking you were into pony sex.
