The Christmas Present Thread 2009

Recommended Posts

Sorry, I believe I misinterpreted the tone of your post. I can see it came off worse than intended. No harm meant. :)

 

Na, it's fine. I'm just not especially look forward to it and was just saying why personally. I hope everyone has a blast though!

 

People should post pics instead typing lists.

 

Much better.

 

I like this idea.

I got almost too much. Felt really rude compared to my cousin who was staying with us. Fair enough he got an Ipod, but I had too many. But obviously appreciated.

 

Off the top of my head;

 

New Mario Bros (Wii)

Tales of Symphonia 2 (Wii)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (Wii)

Solaris (Remake) (DVD)

Rear Window (DVD)

Snow White (DVD) ++ arguably the most essential. I really love disney and love the nice special editions all resotred, but can never spare the money to buy them (they're often pretty pricey). My cousin didn't know I wanted a nice Disney DVD, and yet he got me one of one of my favourite films. ++

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 (DVD)

Batman The Movie (60's one) (DVD)

Prince - Lotusflow3r/MPLSOUND (CD) (Weird french version, think it's just the second disc, but the name on the front is the first disc. But stunning nontheless)

Janet Jackson - Design Of A Decade (CD)

Annie - Don't Stop (CD)

Calvin Klein "Crave" Eau De Toilette

New in-ear headphone/earbuds

"My Name Is Charles Saatchi And I Am An Artoholic" (Book)

100 Best selling albums of the 90's (book)

A "pocket pint" (which stuns...it's a collapsible pint glass)

A lovely scarf

Some lovely socks.

£20

£15 HMV token

New red tie

A light-up Buddha thing

A new DC Superheroes calender

Some biscuits

Some chocolate

Some t-shirts

A lovely Superman hoodie.

 

Feels like a bit much, but my mum justified it by saying that she hardly buys me anything during the year, and I'll (hopefully!) be leaving home next year, so could be my last "normal" christmas, but yeah. I'm very happy with my haul of course. :)

Plus my chocolate fondue set which I posted on the previous page (too lazy to go downstairs, take it out of its box and take a picture of it). =P
