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

I reckon that the fact that the last of us believing in Santa and the the recession hitting happened at pretty much the same time in our house did bring the Christmas budget way down and it was never brought back up! :-D

Cold hard cash is the best present, I stuck two fifties into both my mother and father's paws today and they both lit up when I did it, no card or any formal doing. I got my siblings headphones and PS3 games.

That probably contributed a fair bit!

Nothing! Finally! First Christmas ever that its happened and I have been trying to train my friends on this for years

BestBuy gift vouchers, Amazon vouchers, perfume, Sephora vouchers, a nice leather book bag, an out of print reference book I'm obsessed with, a Barnes and Noble voucher (less than a week after spending $100s on two very expensive reference books

), some flight time from a particular airfield, and best of all, my boss announced a small promotion.

A probable future bill for an extension to my house as I think I'll need one to store the absolute fu¢ktonne of toys my 2 year old got.

The other half [...] made me a scrapbook of all sentimental stuff. Bit soppy, but I loved it.

Those types of gifts are priceless - other stuff is quickly forgotten.

A girl I was going out with, a few years back, carved me a little wooden sculpture of two people hugging that I still have. Very sweet.

Underwear that is three axed too big! And no I don't need to lose weight

A pair of Loake Chester 2 Brogues

I go to a shoe shop and pick those up, admire and sniff them once a week.

PucaMama · 26-12-2014 02:01AM

Just a few small things and some pjs

think I'll get myself something in the new year(if I can)

People on here are very spoiled.

Ihatecuddles · 26-12-2014 02:04AM

Necklace
Bracelet
Earrings
Phone
Cardboard box with an X on it, I said I wanted an X box

Make up brushes
Perfume
Money
A voucher for giddy studios

TheBeardedLady · 26-12-2014 02:10AM

Money
Nivea stuff
Hot water bottle
Shampoo and conditioner for blonde hair
A book
A wooly hat
And the biggie from my dad and brothers: a new laptop for work and studies as my other one was held together with sellotape and kept shutting down on its own.

Feel a bit spoilt.

My OH got me a pair of louboutins that I've been eye raping for months. Lego, a selfie stick perfume and earrings.
His parents got me a voucher for river island and a houndstooth Michael Kors handbag.
My brother got me a voucher for vero modo, perfume set and an instyler.
My best friend got me something that didn't arrive yet. I think it's a #kantkope tshirt from hunz booteeewk.

fleet_admiral · 26-12-2014 02:36AM

Some Lovely Lacoste and Canterbury gear and other misc. stuff that will come in handy

PhilBill · 26-12-2014 04:12AM

Decided I would open the Christmas presents from my family now as I'm not the person to open them in front of them. My 7 year old sister spent all of her pocket money on the Christmas present she got me I'm told. It was the best present I got!!! A BaByliss 22piece Razor I actually can't believe it. Out of my 3 little sisters to get me such a needed and great gift I can't believe it was her... Some amazing hugs nd kisses coming her way in the morning what a sister!!!1

Ahh I use to listen to ASOT online nonstop about a year ago! Armin Van Burren was the F'in man back then! Still listen to the odd Above and Beyond track but not much more after that. Prague is being planned for march with lads from my fam but thinking I'm gonna skip it due to the J1! Im only in my 2nd year of college thought I may just run away on my own to America for the summer but your post scared me!!! lol

Armins gone to ****..but he runs a good show..Been to 2 asots, ABGT 050 and transmission in prague and a few more around ireland and uk INCL Paul van dyk, suckley etc.

Prague is amazing...can be done for dirt cheap if you avoid the tourist traps...unlike us...Strip clubs and **** diners..but 2 of us went sky diving and 2 a gun range..Much better them Amsterdam IMO.

Haha...well 2 of my buddys that have come back have had issues with them working and other lads doing **** all , other then getting there parents to pay for it while they drink...said only so much drinking every night and uselessness you can take before you have to think about just yourself .
Both have degrees in Science

Haven't listened in to much to Armin in a long time but he literally is trance for me from his radio show! Matzo has been creeping onto my ipod lately and Artsy is never to far behind him either! Havent been to any of the concerts abroad yet but almost ended up at Headhunterz Qlimax 2014 last year in Amsterdam only for people backed out at last minute!!

I'd love to hit Prague up but the funds I'm guessing just wont allow me this year, although I'm really gonna miss the holiday with the lads!!

I'm heading of on my own on this J1 haha may be a complete disaster but I'm sure as hell not one my family will be paying anything other than than fees and flights for me, once I'm out there I'm literally on my own !!! lol

I've seen Matzo live he played in Dublin about a year back on Camden St was never going to miss that!!! Tbh can't remember it at all but I'd guess it was a good night.

My main aim is to go sky diving close to NY. Have been looking into it and it costs a bomb!!! But think I may have to do it if I go! If I can spare the money for Prague I will 100% go!! TBH I'd be pissed if the boys didn't somehow talk me into going with them! I'd be extremely pissd though if I went and got fleeced by hookers!!! Wont let that happen again! Amsterdam was an eye opener! lol
