A blue Joe Boxer hoody
Althletech pants (wearing)
Joe Boxer Mistletoe pants (don't ask)

Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King

Umm...that's about it  :D

Jackson

you can get my book the same damn place you got hers, CRACKHEAD.


Tim

An assortment of clothes I would never buy for myself, three video games: Kirby, Epic Mickey, Toy Story 3  (I am young at heart), Back to the Future Trilogy on Blu-Ray, Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray, and a few books.  *shrug*

Andy got two hats and a Lakers shirt (::)) from my mom and stepdad, a bathroom set (bodywash, spray deodorant, etc) from my kids, a flask, a Seahawks watch, new shoes, Nightmare On Elm Street and a belt from me.
I got lotion, body spray, hand soap, opal earrings, The Marine 2 from my mom and stepdad, bath wash, lotion, bath salts and milk bath from my kids, The Last Airbender, Boondock Saints 2 and a really pretty butterfly necklace from Andy.
As a couple, we got $35 for Applebees and dark chocolate/peppermint bar from my brother and his b/f, and a NICE crock pot from my grandparents.

Jackson

I got new bedsheets and a matching comforter, gift cards for Chapters and a couple restaurants we like, a new Blackberry Torch (from Mark) and a basket from Mark's mom containing a bunch of bath products and a Bob Dylan greatest hits collection CD.

Mark got the usual socks, underwear, and undershirts from his mom. I got him a couple Bad Religion tees plus a limited edition blue vinyl pressing of their latest album. I also got him some new pants.

@Lisa

I would have gotten you a Tim Hortons gift card and a milkbag.  I assume those are things all Canadians want.

I LOATHE Tim Hortons, you ass. I worked there when I was in college, and the stench of their coffee literally makes me gag. I got a bag of milk today, since Mark's mom never drinks it, and she had to buy some to make the mashed potatoes.


V

these bad boys.

this shirt.  plus one i don't have a photo of, from my graphic designer buddy, an actual silkscreened V shirt.  hunter green, steampunk/dieselpunk themed.  i'll have to get a pic.

coffee.  coffee mugs.  instant flavored cappuccino kinda stuff.  liquor filled chocolates-- weirdly, from a straightedger.  though you'd get sick to your stomach way before you'd catch a buzz off these.  still-- it's achieved two of my five food groups, ghettoshopped just for you.

six months of car insurance.  my mom's terribly practical, and also doesn't believe in giving presents on actual holidays.  i got this about a week ago.  i'd say the car itself, but she got her new-used one with inheritance money and her old one wasn't going anywhere but the dump-- it's over 10 years old, a salvage vehicle, and been vandalized with some sorta HCl/drain-cleaner/industrial-paint-solvent and all the paint on the hood looks like a half-molted lizard.  if anybody knows anything about diy paint jobs, get me.  a pro one would cost many times what this thing's worth.  still, it runs, the only other work it needs is new spark plugs and to be driven more often.  :)

Thingybloke

DINOSAUR PRINT BED LINEN. I WIN YA FUCKERS.

Also:
"Reform" by Chiasm (which hasn't arrived yet, booo)
"The Hazards of Love" by The Decemberists
A beautiful glass sculpture which I'm gonna have to hide away for a while so the kitten doesn't smash it :(
Clothes and sweets and such

Archer

Ryann

Kids got shit loads of stuff. lol  More than I can recall. >.<


Mark Chapman

New PJs and slippers from my dad, and some money.
A new coat from my aunt.
Money toward Detroit from my grandad, two uncles and Stacey.
Rudolph socks, Bucks Fizz and chocolates and a bath/body set from Secret Santa at work.
A bottle of JD, a bottle of rose wine and a bottle of white wine from work.
And... Ferrero Rocher (my favourite) chocolates and a perfume/lotion set from my grandma :(

Mom's hasn't arrived yet because international mail over the holidays suck, but she's sent me money toward Detroit too.

Milk bags, Tim Hortons, bizarre gas prices (I SWEAR I saw a gas station with price listings by the quart - YES I know this makes no sense!), Much Music, terrible Canadian music on the radio ---- these are the things I remember from my month in Toronto eleven years ago.

We charge by the litre, not quart.  ::)

Yes, I know. Metric system and all.  But I know what I saw.  I only saw it at one station, though.
