i have a total of um.. about $8 right now.. i get $10 a week for allowance.. so i need to stop spending it and save up a couple weeks before Christmas so i can not feel like a complete jerk for not getting anyone anything. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I bought some Japanese DVDs for my parents. Kurosawa films, actually... they can't understand English very well, so I figured they'd appreciate films from their homeland, so to speak. For my sister, a Nightmare before Christmas wallclock. For my girlfriend, some books and the X-Files season 1 dvd box set.
My parents usually just give me money, since they don't know me well enough to buy me anything. My girlfriend is doing a combination christmas/birthday present thing and getting me an mp3 player. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> From a friend in Japan, I was sent H (if you don't know, don't ask) posters by Shirow Masamune (my favorite illustrator next to Kim Hyung Tae), and from another friend I was sent a box of chocolate truffle thingies and a wrapped present that I haven't opened yet.
I need to do some more shopping for a few friends...
I haven't started yet, but I've drawn up a rough draft.
- Mum: <i>Broken Sword III</i>. - Dad: ? Hiking equipment? - Sister #1: In-car CD player - Sister #2: Miscellaneous gardening equipment - Brother in law: <i>Mario Kart Double Dash</i> - Sister #3: ? - Sister's Boyfriend: <i>Ape Escape 2</i> - Sister #4: She's e-mailed me a list. Shame that most of the stuff is in a store on the other side of the country. Jeez...
I really need to get moving, but I've still got uni stuff to take care of. Gnarrrrrrr. ):
For me I asked for a new GFX card or a flat panel moniter, and some other misc little stuff <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Comments
For my parents:
CDs:
- The Beatles: Let it be... Naked
- John Farnham - One Voice
- Sting - Sacred Love
- Elvis: 1
- Elvis: 2
DVDs:

That should keep them happy.
Next year, pay for gift wrapping...
