I'm going for loads of little things this year so it seems like I've looked around shops and on the day all the presents mount up.

Do you mean iTunes downloaded or Torrent downloaded?

Torrent downloaded...

It's the Los Campesinos! mix of album 1 and album/ep 2. And the Tuss mix of ep 1 and album (previously bought). Both 'I like these, I'm going to force you to listen to them' presents. Like the Wire last year.

'Er...what is this?' He applied to be a police man and probably watches The Bill on occasion. :evil:

I bought a digital piano yesterday....but don't tell the missus.

What a heartfelt Christmas present :lol:

The second album will be pretty hard to come by in disc format eventually, it got one run and will never be printed again. Was available on Play last time I checked, has a DVD as well I think.

Yeah, she is now. We figured that we like each other, so why not give it a go. Not the usual way of doing things, but what the hell. I spent the night at hers last night. I tell you, 15 hours with a constant semi isn't fun. Especially when the girl insists on resting her leg between yours, and pushing her arse into you when your spooning.

..I think I'll move this to TCRT. But the consensus is that I should get her a present? strawberry float knows what I'm going to get her..

Does every single strawberry floating thread Igor visits has to be about relationships and or advice?

I hear that. Before me and my ex got together I spent some time at hers and I had a constant boner which evolved into the worst case of blueballs I've ever had.

Just a bunch of those Penguin design-your-own-cover books. Cheap and I can do something personal with it. Not got any money so everything will have to be handmade this year.

My friend has been going out with a lad for about a week now and he bought her a 360 :shock:

Daddy John: Leeds shirt, Mamma Mia DVD.
Daddy John's ladyfriend: some bath rubbish gift set thingy.
Mum: Mamma Mia DVD, rubbish bath gift set thingy, rubbish Baileys gift set
Mum's dickhead partner: cheap Asian beers box.

Neice: a pink coat, Biffy Clyro babygrow, some In The Night Garden books and a IGGLE PIGGLE bubblebath jobby.

Still need to sort some stuff out for my Grandmothers, but that can wait until after pay-day on Friday.

Stopped buying presents for my family as they all couldn't be arsed anymore.

Still going to get my girlfriend some presents I think. No idea what though as I haven't even started. :fp:

Girlfriend: Tickets to New Kids on the Block (I know!), a bottle of port and some posh choccies

Mum: strawberry float knows

Dad: strawberry float knows

Brother: Dirty Harry DVD box set

Stepdad: Laurel & Hardy box set

Stepmum: Bottle of wine (should be vinegar for the evil bitch)

Work Secret Santa: Miniature table football set and some "comedy" drinking glasses

GR Secret Santa: Not telling you

I just bought DVDs for everyone. How mundane. How uninspired.

No idea.. I was going to get my stepdad the Dark Knight on blu-ray as he had expressed interest, but then he bought it himself..

So probably just chocolates and things like that, unless I happen to pop into town sometime.

if anything.

I need an idea for a present to give a 19 year old 360 owner who buys all the games he wants. £30 is about the limit though for something great I could stretch to £40.

Ive just been to by the Take that CD for my GF, and got her some perfume on top of everything else that she has. I actually like Take That now so Im glad Ive got that. 8-)

Oh and a little me to you statue type thing.

All I hope I get for xmas is things that are dvd box shaped and I will be happy.

Book Tokens.
Chocolates.
Perfumes.
Charity stuff (e.g. An Oxfam voucher- card with "You're gift is a goat for an African village"

That's it. 8-)

Mum - 2 CDs
Dad - 2 Books
Brother - Bladestorm on the 360
Girlfriend - Slipknot ticket and a goody bag of the stuff she uses (shampoo, conditioner etc) so she has stuff to open on the day.
Friend - CD

That's it.

My parents are becoming increasingly difficult to buy for, so I'm getting them a hamper between them and a Simon & Garfunkel DVD.

As for my brother...no idea. He's even harder to buy for. Has no interests apart from science fiction, and I don't know what he has and hasn't got in terms of DVD box sets of whatever. :fp:

Everyone I know is getting a jar of home-made piccalilli or a jar of home-made plum jam. Or if they are spectacularly unlucky, both.
