The Christmas 2015 Thread

Bought something for my nephews from Firebox - although actually I got it from Amazon and so didn't pay postage! I also bought them a couple of pairs of socks - from Next - made sure they have "Next" on them so they know they are good quality.

Was hoping for some cinnamon in there, but a nice well-rounded blend as it is.

Perfect for the tea lover in your life.

 

 

Now a sensible price on Amazon. Lionel Richtea Mug - Hello is it tea you're looking for? - Ceramic Mug: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

My suggestions (things I own and recommend):

 

Hot air popcorn maker. A healthy snack as long as you don't load the popcorn with sugar and salt. £ varies

 

Aerobie AeroPress for the coffee lover. I've had mine for two years, it's quick and easy to clean and makes a good coffee. £ 20 ish

 

Chromecast Audio. A neat gadget that plugs into a hi-fi or powered speakers. Can cast from a phone of tablet, but comes into its own when you cast from a native app like Spotify, Google Music or Deezer. Tip: upload your MP3s to Google Music for free and stream them to the Chromecast Audio. £30

Do you know a budding illusionist (or super villain)?

Spent last night making my new Christmas jumper. Just felt patterns on an old jumper - made three traditional ones last year.

This year there will be a pair of Zombie hands reaching up from the bottom of the jumper towards a nicely wrapped present with a bow on it (if I can do it).

 

There will be blood seeping from underneath the present...

 

I don't think I will be able to wear it to school on "Christmas Jumper Day"

Yes you will. And you must.

 

That sounds awesome. A lovely take on the typical gaudy Christmas jumpers.

 

I was personally thinking of going with this one, myself.. But I just can't justify buying something so obviously seasonal that would barely ever be worn..

I want this.

that would be pretty easy to do with felt shapes - you could even glue them on if you didn't want to sew it.

jumper from a charity shop - job done!

 

The price of Christmas jumpers and the "one use" aspect is why I started adapting my own

Is very valid points, but I'm also lazy.

Whelp, most of my Christmas shopping is done now. I just need one more thing for Mother, and maybe some presents for the team at work if I can scrounge the cash together, but I'd have no idea what to buy them..

 

What I got so far:

 

1. For my Mother:
   
   • One-eyed evil Minion
     
   • One "A Yawn is a silent scream for coffee" cup
     
   • Need something else
     

[*]For her Husband:

• A small quadcoptor
  
• Watch-mechanism cufflinks
  

[*]For my Brother:

• Aegis of the Immortal keyring
  
• Punchbag laundry hamper
  

[*]For my Sister.. Well, for my Nephew, but eases the burden off of her:

• Monkey cot toy.. thing..
  
• Light-up noise ball that will surely drive her insane
  
• Wooden bead maze thing you always find at the Doctor's office.
  

[*]For Housemate #1:

• Pokémon evolution stones (Also carries a £13.30 import charge, if anyone takes a shine to them)
  
• Heartstone stress ball, coin and card pack key
  

[*]For Housemate #2:

• Pokémon Kanto gym badges
  
• Doctor-Who themed Where's Wally?
  
• Funko Alduin figurine

We had that chat. I don't want anything

[Garacesh]

Cold, dude. Nothing for @clairelangton.

 

She won't let me buy her that handbag, nor the awesome cat-ear headphones

[claireadams]

But you've been a pain in the arse and bought me something even though I want nothing

[Garacesh]

Shhhh!
