What Did You Get For Christmas 2014?

Recommended Posts

C'mon, we all want to know and we wanna know your thoughts too! Here's what I've opened so far over the past 2 days. Only two things:

I absolutely love it. I hate the chain because it's not long enough and I'm allergic to wearing certain metals (or whatever- this is one of them) but the pendant is too cool. I'm going to try and get a cord or something for it so I can actually wear it.

I was absolutely gobsmacked that I got this! Like, we wrote down suggestions and this was one of them but it's not the actual bog-standard trilogy. It's the actual proper restoration (there's one that's just a collection and there's a restoration with an added bonus disc and it comes in a nice boxset). I found out it was my assistant manager who had got me (we argued quite a bit but we've simmered down considering- we argued again today but we settled our differences for Christmas and we're fine now). People are saying it's her way of apologising to me for being a bit of a cow. Consider the job done! :D

And then the usual various chocolates and sweets.

Secret Santa?!! You're meant to get something involving swear words or phalluses!

 

Personally, I got my usual fudge and choc, plus a cool Spider-Man towel and a James Bond type jumper.

Really really spoilt.

My sisters and I spend loads on each other at Christmas, we always go all out. The PS4 is off them. Also, they spent a bit more due to my constant going on about being in hospital last Christmas night having surgery. :heh: I've milked that enough now though haha.

The New 3DS is off my parents.

Also got chocolates, sweets, socks, the usual essentials!!

 

Have a great day everyone!

So far I have:

 

Socks

Deodrant

Shaving stuff

 

To be fair, I gave no hints as to what I might want.

 

Going to visit @Dcubed tomorrow and give myself a headache with his Virtual Boy. Chances are, his family has got me a few goodies. Gonna be hard to top last years Deal or No Deal DS.

Oh come on, as if we'd ever have anything here waiting for you ;)

 

And as if we could ever hope to top Deal or No Deal DS...

 

Though at the very least... There's at least a chance to finally try out Flipnote Studio 3D! :D

-A Breaking Bad T-shirt

Its been a while since I paid attention to any Nintendo news, I thought the New 3DS had no release date over here. Now I see various PAL versions on Amazon ranging from £250-300. They legit? Imports? Why so pricey? Why no reviews?

 

Onto other important questions, @Tales will you really be making toast in a microwave? @Dcubed am I missing an in joke or did you actually find that incredibly likely circumstance to be a big coincidence? @Serebii why don't you just buy yourself a virtual boy?

Australia got it and it's PAL

 

@Serebii why don't you just buy yourself a virtual boy?

 

Never seen one on sale and I don't trust eBay

It's out in Australia right now, doesn't come out in US/EU till next year. Australia is the same region as Europe, so you can play UK games on it (I have one myself, and yes, it is AWESOME! :D )

Well the Zelda Monopoly has been out a while now... Could've easily have gotten it for a birthday before now :p

 

My microwave also does toast as well! It has a built-in grill that makes some belting cheese on toast! :D

I got the following (in order of receiving):

 

An awesome recreation of my Whistle drawing as a pillow and plushie, done by @Sprout! Will post a picture when I am in the UK again. =D

 

From Jim's Mum, as he already said, we got some Mickey and Minnie cups, egg cups and salt and pepper shakers. Very cute. =)

(pictures not taken by me)

Hyrule Warriors digital version

 

112436_Bayonetta_Bayonetta2_Bundle_WiiU_Kopen.jpg

Bayonetta 1+2 (and another copy of Bayonetta 2 as apparently Amazon are weird and sent us both versions... so now we have the second game twice =P ).

 

oh-lola.jpg

Oh Lola! perfume by Marc Jacobs, 100ml bottle. =)

 

And from my family I got:

design-kookboekhouder-rvs-umbra.jpg

A cookbook holder, because it will make cooking easier, my books keep getting covered in food and the pages keep closing.

 

o.10813.jpg

One of the perfumes I like. =)

 

Handkerchiefs/tissues, a nail clipping set, bottle of shampoo.

 

And from my sister I got a measuring tape in the shape of a chameleon. But this was a bit special, as a measuring tape is called a "meter" here, which is also another word for "godmother". On the measuring tape she had written "Do you want to become my godmother?". So yay, I will be auntie and godmother of her baby (and I already know the name and gender, as the only one in the family, wheeee)! =D

 

I already gave her one of her presents early, which was a lovely baby-gym thing. She was so happy with it as it was the exact one she wanted. I'm such a great sister. =P

I got some Disney Infinity figures, Stitch and Merida, and some money. I'm still getting a Wii remote charge kit which I've should've gotten a long time ago. Still, finally no hassle with batteries anymore. It's not terribly exciting, I miss the days when I got to play a new Zelda on Christmas day (maybe next year?), but I love the gifts nonetheless!

 

I also got a.. Christmas package from my volunteer job. I thought it was a typical Dutch thing, but apparently you call them Christmas hampers. There were some DVD's and a CD in it, and some cheese and mustard.

 

I got my brother some comics he wanted, I'm definitely going to read those myself as well. One of them is Captain Marvel, so I'll be ready for a change when the film comes out.
