This is just a topic to reflect the, "What do you want," topic. What have you boughten for others for Christmas/whatever Holiday you celebrate.

So far, I've gotten

Kingdom Hearts 2 for one brother (Me and my mascular best friend payed for it)
GBA Link to the Past for another brother
Kirby Squeek Squad for Snickerman

I still plan to buy my mom something (Probably a Boyd's Bear thing), my dad something (no idea), my OTHER brother something (Comics. Easiest to shop for EVER), my best friend (He wants Def Jam fighting game thingy), my other best friend (Best friend is now a loose term http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif No idea though) and something for another friend. Huzzah! God, I'll be poor. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

For my best friend, I bought a ouija board. She's always talking about wanting one and where she might be able to find one, so hopefully she doesn't already have one. Also hopefully it won't be like when a guy buys his wife a bowling ball and she knows right away that he just wants to play with it. Hmm.

For another friend I bought the book The Little Prince, which is allegedly for kids. But it contains an amazing philosphy on life, and she's into that kind of thing, so it'll be cool.

For yet another friend, I... don't know what I'll buy her yet. Man, I'm glad only my female friends expect gifts. As a college student, there's no way I'd be able to pay for things to give to my whole crew.

My dad will recieve a bar of "elf soap," which apparently is Sweden's main export. On the back it has this little paragraph in broken English about how the magical elves of the forest do not permit dirty hands to enter, so they make delightful soaps. My mom will get a Swedish advent calendar for December. I hope she'll see the humor in the fact that Christmas takes place on December 25, and that the calendar will be almost useless by the time she gets it. By the way, I found these weird things in a funny little Nordic town called Woodville. They had a giftshop for troll-related items. Gift central, if you ask me!

I bought my mom a greeting cards craft book she's been wanting but can't find (she doesn't shop online). And I also got her TiVO cause she's always missing her shows. I'm broke much beyond that - so the only other things I've bought were a concert ticket for my sister and two 5ths of 100proof Kentucky Burbon for my cousins.

A pair of B-Rank Rods and a C-Rank Longbow for PJ

stuff I've gotten for others? CDs! All of them!

CDs were: The Postal Service, Mew, Moneen, Secondhand Serenade, Ronnie Day, and Anathallo, one each for a few close friends, based on their personalities.

One of my oldest friends recently quit McDonalds, and now goes to college, as a freshman. I'm buying him a McDonalds' gift certificate. Just because I'm an asshole. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Anothers' comming by to visit out of state from college for a monthlong break. I ended up accidentally spending too much on a scarf, but ehh. It's a nice scarf. And I havn't seen her in forever.

...Do wads of wrapping paper to the head count?

Well, my closest friends have actually told me not to get them anything (and not the "aww, you shouldn't have" way) - because apparently, me being around has given them a lot of what they need to go on... Or something like that.

I do what I can, though. Especially when I'm not broke.

So far, I've only bought my friend a small Revolutionary Girl Utena Rose Sigil pin. That was more of a "OMG, I must buy this because you don't see this everyday" gift, than a "Happy Holidays" type gift. >_>;

So, other gifts:

For the friend who already has a pin: a Alexander Anderson messenger bag.
For my friend in college (the one who gave me Elite Beat Agents): a copy of Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii.
For my best friend in California: a copy of Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii.
For my other best friend in California: a copy of Full Metal Jacket on DVD. I already got this.
For my dad: Socks. Seriously, that's what he said he wanted. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
For my mom: Mary J. Blige's greatest hits, which apparently was just released.
For my sister: High School Musical Soundtrack, deluxe edition. This has been bought, too.

I need more monies. DX

For my friend i got her a penquin vase holder. Though she's using it as a bookback buddy >_>

My mom's getting a cookbook VIA one of those Food network stars. I forget her name :S

I WANTED to get my Dad that new girl rap lady CD (she's being used in a V cast commercial)

My bro is getting 2 DVDs. Beetlejuice and Breakfest club. I was gonna get him Family Guy but the two DVDs COMBINED were cheaper then that.

As for me... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif I treated myself to the Snoopy Doll i saw
