Posted November 25, 2009 Jeez... no Christmas in China, though Mrs Iun and I are going to go to England for her to meet my parents for the first time. Naturally, my family is pretty unconcerned with what to get us/me/her. But if I were asked, I would certainly like: Wine Gums. As many bags as possible. Can't get them in Shanghai Options Belgian Chocolate Flavour. Again, as many jars as possible. A subscription to Private Eye. A new pair of gym shoes, preferably Nike. Some new jeans that fit. Unremarkable, I know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2009 Invincible Comics (Need advice on where to start with this please! Comic thread says it is amazing so I thought I'd give it a try.) The first hardback ultimate collection. Best value for money, best presentation: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invincible-Ultimate-Collection-Cory-Walker/dp/158240500X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259147903&sr=8-3 My list... erm... well I also have my birthday coming up.

Posted November 25, 2009 From my family I'll probably just ask for Zelda: Spirit Tracks, two CDs, and maybe some vouchers for art supplies or something. So yeah not expecting much. =P And Jim will have to figure out on his own what else he could get me haha. (I've already purchased his presents yay.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 Star Trek DVD, Jeans maybe (or other item/s of clothing) and that's about it really! I'm easy this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 World peace. ...and for a massive computer error that removes my student debt and means I don't have to pay tuition fees ever again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 I haven't actually thought about it. I've gotten most stuff that I want myself. I'm concentrating more on getting stuff for my family this year. I've never been able to afford anything decent before this year. I think I may ask for Pirate Latitudes by Micheal Crichton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2009 My mother keeps asking me this, but then I know she has no money so I feel guilty. May ask for some art supplies. A Maya-based book and maybe one of Ine's shirts (as in one designed by her, not one from her personal wardrobe ). S'all I can think of at the moment. Apparently my father is getting me just money. No generic gift like chocolates or aftershave that would require some effort or thought. Just, presumably, a £20 note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 We've all decided to have a budget this year for christmas, we are spending around the £60 mark for each person in the family. I just threw down some sub-£15 DS games, yankee candles (to fuel my addiction), and chocolates onto a list. I'm not all that fussed on christmas presents. I can see how people (like students/not working peoples) with minimal money would be, but i have enough money to get stuff I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2009 I'm pretty sure my mum's going to get me the 5+ recent pratchett books I've not got, despite not particularly wanting them. My dad's on holiday for both xmas and my birthday so I probably won't get anything from him. However I do actually already have a couple of wrapped gifts here from my mum, awaiting a christmas tree to go under. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2009 Wine Gums. As many bags as possible. Can't get them in Shanghai Whut, no Wine Gums over there?! That's sacrilege! I'm not a fan or anything, but why do pop concerts get cooler tickets than rock gigs? Almost all of my old gig tickets are just bog-standard ones. ...and for a massive computer error that removes my student debt and means I don't have to pay tuition fees ever again. I'd love that to happen to me to, stupid student loans... ¬¬ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 It's a shame you suck or Mr_Odwin might have taken your opinion seriously It's a lie. Opposites do not attract. Yeah. There seems to be several people in the comic thread that enjoy it and I respect some of those peeps, so figure it'll probs be decent. That's the reason I purchased it also, then the second volume as I got the excuse "... hmm, yeah it doesn't start out that exciting...". After that I didn't find it entertaining enough to spend monies on the rest. Who knows, maybe you'll agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2009 Whut, no Wine Gums over there?! That's sacrilege! The worst thing, the WORST thing is that a year ago a Marks and Spencer opened on Nanjing Xi Lu (big shopping district) and they had hundreds of M&S Wine Gums. Then suddenly from January this year... they stopped selling them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
