Has anyone done a presents thread?
I got lots of red wine, some coffee syrups and a sort of leather bracelet thingy that was engraved with the kids initials. I've spent the last few days happily making Lego with the kids. I brought down my old box of it from the loft and we all sat happily making robots for about 3 hours

The lamb I bought to have with the turkey was fucking NOM too, in a late response to Mcbeef's food thread.

I got some whisky, some chateauneuf du pape, a bottle of dandelion and birdshite
which is a humorously named dark mild apparently. Also some whisky tumblers and a decanter, a game about cutting peoples heads off, a book and a dvd and some smellies.

Not a bad haul. Not sure I made a profit though, I need to adjust my spending spreadsheet for next year.

clothes, pink vodka, pink champagne from some obscure little vineyard that my dad's friend likes, books, cushions shaped like biscuits, make-up, and PINK BEATS.

Beats - I'm sure that 'Dr' Dre has the necessary acoustic and electronic qualifications to make a perfectly excellent pair of headphones...

however for all of your tedious bluster I'm more interested in buying someone something they like rather than something of studio quality that doesn't colour the sound in any way and I can bore the arse off anyone asking about them by regurgitating a stream of dull 'facts' no one really cares to hear.
