I know it's stupid, but I buy a ton of books in brick and mortar stores mostly because of how badly a few online orders have arrived to me. I've had paperbacks that were almost completely folded in the middle. Pisses me off so much. Not sure why so many people who work in the postal service have to be complete assholes. All of us get pissed off at our job from time to time, but I don't screw other people's days over when it happens.

Just checked how much they are worth, nice double up.
I used my remaining credit in the PSN store on sonic the hedgehog, seeing as Iori is not out here for another week.

Bought my wife two pendants for her charms bracelet, some DVDs and the large Nici plush pillow she always wanted.

I got a book (biography of Lemmy Kilmister), Child of Eden for 360, a DVD box set of an old 1970s German TV show (I'm watching it as we speak) and three bottles of excellent Williams-Christ Schnaps (I'm drinking it as we speak).

Good stuff.

Been waiting 20 years for this. Mine has a bit of the high pitch noise, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Best Christmas in a long time!! :D

Mostly got clothes (socks/underwear/sweaters/a few shirts and one bitchin flannel as well as some gift cards. Most interesting gift card was a $100 for a Southwest Airlines Flight. Oh the possibilities. Wasn't planning any trips this upcoming year but may have to. My sister got me a cute cat related item :emb:

Best "gifts" I got was some firearm related items I bought for myself. I don't know if it really counts as a gift since in order to get this stuff I had to sell other stuff, but the new stuff I got (and am waiting to get in the mail) is a hell of a lot nicer than the old stuff. If you're interested look for pictures in the Firearm enthusiast thread in the next couple of weeks (when all the goodies arrive.)

Of the gifts I didn't buy for myself I appreciate socks and underwear the most. Stupid I know but I love not having to buy these items and getting them as gifts.
