    For those questioning the jersey - presumably it's a decent hand-embroidered NFL jersey (not screen printed). Can be costly, but they do last a long time unlike some of the football jerseys.

    They go higher if you want the ones the players wear. Extra to get a players names etc stitched in the jersey.

    They have always been high in price

    Yes it is, but an NHL jersey. I have some 20 years old and they still look new compared the man u/ Liverpool etc jerseys they well fade over time

    You could have probably got at least 25 jersey bull calves for €250.
    But I have to say that was a generous present.

    I got some clothes. Nowhere close to the above figure.

    Is this a NFL, NHL or baseball jersey? Some of those are crazy prices altogether.

    I have a wardrobe full of these jerseys. I'm actually running out of room.

    I got €50 in a card from the folks. The other half is broke so he made me a scrapbook of all sentimental stuff. Bit soppy, but I loved it.

    Oh and Santa slippers.

    That's crazy money!

    People always seem to get loads at Christmas compared to me! I got:
    An SOS Talisman (EpiAlert) bracelet from Santa
    A book from my mum
    Make up from one brother and
    A graphic novel from the other.

    OH and I are swapping gifts on NYE but we set a budget so I know that I won't be getting anything big from him. It's not that I mind because I love what I have gotten, I just think it's crazy how much some people do get!

    From my nan and grand-uncle:
    €200, pringles, after eights, milk tray, big toblerone, hot water bottle and a newbridge silverwear tree ornament from a family friend.

    Parents get home in a couple of days, will exchange presents with them and my brother then.

    I think it really depends on the set up of your family. My parents have always used it as an excuse to spoil us but I also have 3 siblings so there's presents from them. Were all adults so we all have our own money to spend. And then my SO who got me a new vinyl record player :)
