Christmas gifts

[AMC]

What did you get for people that won't see this here?

I got my nephew a giant garbage truck.

I got my brother's family a pack of Graza
I also got this for my mom and her husband.

I got desert stardust gummies for a friend who is into that sort of thing.

I got a case of sugar free energy drinks for my roommate with diabetes.

I got a plush animal for my other roommate, his favorite character from his favorite show.

When I get paid, I'm getting my grandparents a nintendo switch and some games

Got our little granddaughter an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, some Stranger Things jewelry, and a curtain of fairy lights for around her bed.
Got husband a really big computer monitor, and a type of car battery (or tractor) charger that is lightweight. Got oldest daughter and family a meat package from Omaha Steaks.
Still need to order something for our other three children. I know one of them wants a ham radio key (for morse code). Another might want a lightweight lithium battery for his school bus conversion. So not sure on them. Got my Florida sis a coffee mug that says Chosen and has a Bible verse on it.

The gifts that keep on giving.
Reminds me of decades ago (early 90's), DW started every morning with big glass of milk and a bunch of Hershey's chocolate syrup poured into it.
I quipped that she should be a stockholder in the company, she agreed.
That Christmas, I got her 9 shares of Hershey's stock, on certificate.
It was a beautiful engraved full color 12"x12" thing that looked like a giant banknote! (to be framed, of course)
A few years later the stock split and they gave her another 9 shares in the online account.
After the dividends piled up, she cashed those in and some online shares and got a 1/2CT diamond necklace (I got to pick the 'D' colorless stone).
Today, she still has the original shares certificate, as well as a bunch online.
(and wears that diamond every day)

I had a vintage console stereo / record player updated and refurbed for the lady and I am probably giving my car to her daughter. I also bought a few smaller items for each of them; records, jewelry, etc. For pops I got a bottle of Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

@Amish Heart

A couple months back I purchased Charlene II, because I am immature and impulsive. And because the old girl was starting to rack up the miles. I haven't started driving Charlene II yet, but she is ready to go at a moments notice. Meanwhile the girl's car is in the shop every 3 weeks for some petty issue.

 

[Amish Heart]

Nice! Same color as mine!

 

[Mountain trapper]

The wife and I bought each other some silver and copper bars for Christmas. It should be delivered by Tuesday.

 

[Mountain trapper]

The grandkids are each getting a box like this.

 

[Magpie]

For son 1 a Virtual flying experience in a Boeing
For son 2 a small laptop for college
For daughter 1 tickets to a show in the city
For daughter 2 she wanted a monitor for her laptop, and her birthday being the day after, a banjo
they all get a few other practical bits like books / hand tools etc

 

[Amish Heart]

What is a Boeing virtual flying experience? Is it a video game thing?

 

[d_marsh]

Santa Clause also purchased the lady a new Kindle Paper White e-reader and the girl a Streamlight TLR-7 Sub weapon light for her Lady Sig P365. They are also each getting a box of assorted gourmet Belgian chocolates and other confections made locally.

I found out about a week or so back that Santa apparently still comes to this apartment, but only if you believe in him. Make one comment or joke that Santa does not exist and he instantly stops existing for you and the extra gift train comes to a screeching halt. And thusly I won't be getting anything from Santa.

I got my dog a $50 gift card for Chewy.com

I got all of my current dogs a Himalayan yak cheese bone and I put it in a gift bag with other dog stuff such as poop bags, other treats, etc. The cheese bones are loved by dogs. They hide them and keep moving them around. One of my dogs does this for a few days before she finally eats it. One of my dogs went to find hers in the hiding place to bring it to show to me. She was so happy and proud of that cheese bone! She will be thrilled with her new one for Christmas.

I was never about Santa. Her dad and his family were though. I never told her he didn't exist, I just didn't talk about Santa. One day, maybe when she was in kindergarten, she said that she knows that Santa isn't real. I told her that she was right, but she shouldn't be telling other children that, because if she was quiet about it, he would still come and leave her gifts. When she would go to North Dakota for Christmas, Santa did bring her gifts.

I always enjoy finding cigars in my stocking.

Me and my BIL always get each other a few sticks for most any occasion

 

[teeceetx]

Wife bought a few things for me to give her!!! She's impossible to buy for!!

I bought her one thing, and will give her a gift card as well.

My son was very tardy in giving me a list, so now it's too late to ship anything. He too may be getting a gift card!!!

My brother and 6 sisters get nothing, as we don't exchange gifts.

 

[joel]

Got daughter plant stands
Got SIL 8ah battery for his drill
Got son 8Ah & 20Ah batteries
DW a nail kit & Ruby ring.
Then they all agree to draw name this year, so I guess I will just give out gifts anyway.

What is a Boeing virtual flying experience? Is it a video game thing?

Its a pilot experience, I guess is the best way to explain it! Its at the pilot training facility here; basically you go into a cockpit of a Boing and you choose an airport to fly to and they give you a 'lesson' but the visuals are terrific, its like you are there, if that makes sense. Kind of a 'big boy's toy.
