For my Mom I got a Pride and Prejudice DVD.
Dad-nothing as per his request. Sister-nothing again, cause she didnt want to have to get me anything. Brother-headset/mic for computer gaming. Mom in law- fancy coffee scented organic soap from this place up town. Sister in law- Soap from the same shop but gingerbread scented. Derek-Nice new sweater and V for Vandetta graphic novel. He's been on a real comic kick lately. Half way done Marvel Civil War and has WWHulk and Marvel Zombies on his computer ready to go. Really wanted to get BioShock but I couldn't find it anywhere. Derek's cousin Darren (for a name draw) got a $25 gift certificate from Coles' book store, because he's so hard to buy for.

Dad - Wicked/Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire (a big, beautiful hardcover edition), Tropic Thunder 2-disc, imported Basset Allsorts.
Mom - Pride and Prejudice DVD + book, crazy Moose mittens, Il Divo's new CD My girl - Tiffany charm bracelet, The Reader book (I forget who wrote it), a mug covered in Shakespearean love quotes. I always get more excited about the stuff I give than what I get...I think I did pretty well this year :)

I wasn't able to get to everyone--but I picked everyone who was most freezing, and sent them a small thing like a DVD or some music. I did a gift swap with someone on another board, and sent some monster stuff to that person, and that was fun. He was freezing, too, so I sent him a book of true ghost stories, to creep him out and take his mind off the bone-chilling cold!

Gave my wife a Kate Kingsbury Christmas murder mystery, an Anne Perry Christmas book (maybe a murder mystery, not sure), Dewey, the book about the library cat, some pee-jays and a night shirt, a Starbucks gift card, and on her request donated a big bag (18 lbs., felt like fifty as I carried it to the car) of cat food to the local food bank -- yes, they do accept pet food donations. And to my folks, an invitation to New Year's Eve dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. My brother and I don't exchange any more upon a mutual agreement, and my wife's parents are passed on.

We didn't spend a lot this year, my husband and I just bought for each other pretty much. So I got him MST3K Vol 7 (with his personal favorite episode....The Prince of Space) and The Boondock Saints unrated special edition.

That said, I caught the musical on Broadway last year and it was STUNNING. I've seen 5 shows down there, and this was far and awy my favourite - I even (slightly) prefered it over Phantom of the Opera!

Thank you both. I've seen Wicked at the Goodwill. Will probably pick it up next time I see it. What little I know of it sounds interesting.

I gave my girlfriend a new phone, it seems like it's not the one she wanted. Some people are just ungratefull.
I gave a box of bendicks mint choclate collection and some organic ginger and dark choclate cookies from the Isle of Mull. I haven't got my mums present yet as I need to get to a different country to purchase it. I picked up a couple of things for my self on new years eve as well. A copy of Doomsday on dvd and a rushian hat made out of black rabbit fur. Damn thats one warm hat.
