Default What did you get for Christmas/Boxing Day 2016?

Always like hearing what other people received as gifts during the holidays and what was purchased during boxing week.

For Christmas, my girlfriend got me this!


For Boxing Day, I got myself a Dyson Vacuum, A pair of Ray Bans, couple pair of jeans for Banana republic and a few pairs of shorts from Sport Check (25%) Nike

I got, zero, nadda, not a thing. Spending time with family and friends is more important to me than any material things.

You can spend time with family and get material things. They are not mutually exclusive.

I however didn't get anything, either. We did not do anything festive at all this year.

Pretty much just gift cards for me. Mostly for food so I don't have to worry about groceries while I job hunt for the next month or two. The other was for Steam which I'll probably get Doom, Far Cry Primal, and Dying Light: The Following with.

Retro Tkachuk jersey and tickets to Guns N' Roses in August.

Never go boxing day shopping as it's not worth the hassle but I did get a Chinook gift card which I used to buy myself a really nice jacket.

A book.

I put together a LEGO kit I got myself quite a while ago though so it felt like a Christmas gift.

^^ Cosmo that's awesome, I was thinking about that for my kid, still would like to get one.

The Trevor Noah book is fascinating thus far.

edit: sorry for the large file.

Got a bit of money from my wife's grandmother, a guitar themed art piece from my wife's parents and some gift cards from my mother. My wife and I haven't exchanged gifts since the first xmas when we were dating. We are actually thinking of no longer exchanging gifts as a family (we have no kids) and everyone just contributing to the cost of a catered xmas meal instead. That way we can all just come together and enjoy a nice meal without stress or receiving stuff we end up giving away.

We havent bought gifts for parents, brothers, sisters and their spouses in years. Instead we pool the money that would have been spent on presents and donate that to one charity. A different one each year. We buy presents for our kids, nephews and nieces still though.

Pfft gifts? The real gift of Christmas is obviously the moral superiority that I can brag about on the internet instead of material objects.

Also I got a badass light bar for my side by side

Aw man where did you get the nano air? I've wanted one for a while just as a city jacket.

Haha I picked it up for a b/c jacket and my Thermoball is going to be my city jacket.

I ordered it from Live Out There.
https://www.liveoutthere.com/patagon...dy-jacket.html

Only XL left at the sale price.

Altitude sports has them as well, and you can get 10% off as a member right now. Not as good but second cheapest I've found.
