Right, enough with the "OMG I'LL GET A PS3" stuff in threads that focus on what YOU want. Now it's time to tell you what you have bought for your friends and relatives for Christmas. Why have you bought that (something special about it, something that the person needs)?

I'm usually pretty good with coming up with stuff to give, but this year I'm not sure. I kinda know what I'm going to give to my grandmother, but I'd like to give something else aswell (the first thing is a skincare product that I've bought the last few years, she know I will give it, it's a tradition).
My dad needs a computer upgrade, but I can't really afford that. I could buy just one component, but the computer is so old that anything fairly new wouldn't go in it without upgrading something else aswell.
For my mom I'm most likely buying a new clock radio, the old one is old and it doesn't work that well.
I'll need to think on the rest, I like when people recieve gifts they didn't expect at all.

Now, tell us about your presents!

OMG I'LL GET A WII

Anyway, I'll just buy some simple presents like dvd's and stuff for my parents.

Girlfriend
Definitely

• Venom Vs Carnage Graphic Novel (she's been after it for years)

Maybe

• Red Vs Blue DVD's 1-4 (also said she wanted)
  
• £40 LoveFilm Voucher that came through the door today (oooooo)

Dad

• He wanted some new socks
  
• Maybe something small and silly also

Dad's Fiance

• The Beatles - Love (Hopefully she'll like it, I know she likes them but you never know)
  
• Something small silly or musical (She's a music teacher)

Grandparents
Maybe

• Bath Salts???
  
• Food basket????
  
• Wine and Cheese???
  
• Port???

not a clue what to get them really

Close Friends

• Diary/ Day Planner (Because he's always owing me money and getting dates wrong)
  
• e-cards (They're free fun and show you care ....also animated w00t)

-------------------------------------------

I shall edit this list as and when necessary

I will probably give others some random stuffs depending on how close I am with them...
Doesn't really matter what you give, it's the thoughts that count.

My dads birthdays this weekend so gotta get him two lots of stuff, I've got him a jeremy clarkson dvd, slade greatest hits cd, bottle of wine and a focus voucher.

Got my sister a docking station for her new iPod, Girls Aloud Greatest Hits and a bottle of vodka.

Got my mum some stuff she bought that I just gave her the money for, dunno what it was.

Got a mate a digital photo frame, gonna put it a 1gb sd card and pre-fill it with loads of pics of her and mates when out and stuff.

thats pretty much all I got, just a few little things, like a burtons voucher and comedy socks for a mate and gonna get a big family tree printout thing for me grandparents, they did some research into the family history a while ago.
