Your top pressie...wot did you get?

[Plax]

I got some boots and jeans (of which one of my god daughers has already very kindly put a chocolate hand print on) and a couple of really cool pairs of over the knee stripy socks from Mr Plax along with an absurd amount of chocolate.

 

[Carwash]

Rather like that t-shirt.

Yeah, me too. My brother did well there, I think.

 

[yoyo]

I got a Fosca bones jacket from Mr Yoyo and my 'surprise' present - courtesy of on-line shopping - won't arrive until January. DS1 gave me Theatre tokens, DD gave me clothes and DS2 gave me a loud horn for my bicycle. It's probably our last Christmas as immediate family and there are many precious memories to treasure.

 

[Mr Pig]

My wife got be a brightly coloured poncho from Bolivia. She didn't buy it in a shop here, she actually bought it from a place in Bolivia! I also got a Tesco track pump, wonder how that will work out.

I got her a clockwork rabbit that bangs cymbals together and a wooden rabbit stapler.

 

[Danny]

1/3 of a bike - but I'm not sure which bits that includes...

What's happened to the other two thirds?

 

[a_n_t]

bought myself some carbon bars which look identical to k-swords for 1/3 of the price!

 

[Maverick Goose]

A bottle of Calvados and Dig Lazararus Dig by Nick Cave + the bad seeds

 

[BigonaBianchi]

My son gave me some cool drawing pencils and some artists paper...very good... I like to draw.

 

[col]

I recieved a digital picture frame with one gig memory,put loads of pics and songs on and also put the snowman film cartoon on it too,chuffed to bits with it.

 

[dudi]

My lovely wife bought me a workstand... i've been working on my bike with it leaned up against the shed door up to now... bless her!

it's a spin doctor elite... or something like that... and it's very groovy!

Also a dozen books, some chocolate! yum! a jersey, a years sub to C+ magazine, beer and a box of leaping frogs!
off to see my half of the family tomorrow for christmas part II

 

[Piemaster]

Working away sucks. Ship charters gave all the crew a present....its.....can barely maintain my excitement........a set of 6 tumblers.
I'm a bloke, an engineer and agree completely with James May in that my presents should have 'suitable for age 12' on the box.
Like little helicopters.

Just hope theres something more suitable when I get home. In mid January. Sorry for the grumbling but I've had better days.

 

[Dave5N]

Not cycling related, but a S.A.D lightbox ( or a happy lamp as a friend who has one calls it)
I fkin hate the winters and the more i talk to people, it seems so many others do too.
So, SWMBO got me a lightbox. ...be good to see if it works over a short period.

Be interested to know if it makes a difference - I hate the short days and lack of light.

 

[Dave5N]

My best present?

My Mother-in-common-law, with whom I do not have a close relationship, gave me a homemade calendar. Each page has a photo of my children on Islay.

Marvellous.

 

[Keith Oates]

I got the other half of money for my bike, which I am very pleased about as I am skint.

I also got £50 to spend on some cycling stuff off my choice - think I am going to get some new tyres - any recomendations - was thinking pro race 3's of gp4000

Steve

Don't know about the gp4000's but the Pro Race 3's are the tops for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[summerdays]

I got an Ipod Nano in yellow(more of a yellow-ie gold i think) which is pretty cool. Its replaced my old Ipod(1st Gen) which is nearly ready to die.

Ditto but mine is blue... complete with an engraving on the back.

It was a lovely day and it looks as if my gifts were appreciated. I worry in advance if I have bought them too much, too little, obviously not all the things they have asked for (eg littlest summerdays didn't complain that he didn't get the Millenium Falcon).
