What'd you all get?

I got £300, nothing special but it's still good. I can probably get a PS4 is a pool my money with my brother.

I doubt I will get any proper presents this year.

My dad is giving Cash to everyone this year, but I don't know how much I'll be getting, though it will probably all go towards paying for gas so I can spend New Years with my Fiancée.
Considering that my Sister is playing Santa Claus for the first time in a decade(For the benefit of her 20 month old grand daughter), I doubt she pay much attention to getting anyone else gifts, not that she usually gives many gifts. My great niece is getting a ball pit.
I doubt either of my nieces would get me a present if their lives depended on it.
My fiancée might get me a present, but I'll be content getting to spend some time with her(and besides, I couldn't come up with anything to ask for when she asked me what I would like).

On the giving side of things, my fiancée is the only person I bothered shopping for.
I got her:
-A Santa outfit
-Several pairs of winter leggings(she's prone to the cold)
-A case of Chocolate Pocky
-Gravity Rush for the Playstation Vita

Also our neighbors gave us an ice chest full of food so we could have Christmas dinner without the evils of shopping.

Well since I just tell everyone take a wild guess because I'd rather buy the things I know I want now that I have my own finances being an adult and all, big sad face, but not, at the same time--I like the surprise of someone being really sweet and thoughtful and stuff like that.

I'm not too hard to please. Between family a friends I got mostly cute clothes and knick-knacks--no complaints there for sure. I think my favorite from that are these adorably done bat socks and this precious little Sonic doll, as if I don't have enough soft or plush things in my place.

My family did get me a soundbar that I needed though. Didn't expect that so that was nice.

My mum got me an iPad, Asuna got me Tales of Xillia 2, and other than that I've pooled about eighty quid. I feel grateful.

Got 50 USD cash from my dad. I will be surprised if I get anything else in the way of money/material goods.

Like Batty, I'm an adult with an income of my own and thus capable of buying most things I know I want(made easier as vision loss makes it so I can't enjoy many things I use to spend money on), and just about anything I'd want that I can't afford is also outside the budget of anyone who would be willing to give me a Christmas present.

I got quite the haul this year! The list includes:
  • A tube of Jelly Tots (eaten)
    A pack of Giant Dairy Milk Buttons
    A Mario/Tron fusion t-shirt
    An Eeveeloutions t-shirt
    A Minecraft Redstone Ore block lamp
    A Mars Mix bag (consumed)
    Two giant bags of Doritos
    A dual-holster for my Steampunk costume
    A winebottle of fresh real apple juice
    A chocolate Santa
    A pack of 3 mars bars
    A Sainsbury's "festive fun mix"
    A lottery ticket with a prize of £1, the highest (and only) reward there.
    A Kinder Surprise Santa
    A Loyd Grossman Express pack of Carbonara sauce for my pasta
    A chocolate iPhone
    A candy cane
    And a cat minifigure from the Minecraft Grass Series
Best part is, it ain't even done yet, as grandparents on my father's side are visiting on Boxing Day to spend time with the family and sister's boyfriend. More to follow?

Aside form Twiddle sending me a VHS tape, and my friend-mom buying me Aperture underwear (if you dig through my tumblr enough you'll find pictures), I did get some swag.

Probably the two best things I got were a Dreamcast and a Kindle Paperwhite. That's not to belittle any of my other gifts, but with the Dreamcast I am just a trip to my friend's house, where I can get my copy of Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast back, from conducting some tests again. And the Kindle Paperwhite will not only make it easier to keep some text books on person, it also has now been packed with random PDFs my friend found with the intention of studying the occult.

I also got 50 bucks from my grandparents, which I used to buy a pendent I've been eying at the local new age and smoke shop at the mall.
Spoiler:
Image
Its a dark red/orange/brown color, and while the front has this target shape, the back had the price sticker on it and was hiding a taijitu, but either the pointed end of the good was accidentally serrated, or the good that is in evil is intended to by close to the good, even though the evil in good is in the usual center position. Its very interesting, though I think it'd be better with a cord than on a chain.

I also will be seeing a melodica from two of my friends, and two more mystery gifts from two of my other friends. I'm lame and pretty much just getting everyone cash because I have a history of buying bad gifts, and my friends have a history of needing actual money so its a beautiful symbiotic relationship.

Get Skies of Arcadia if you want a great RPG for the Dreamcast.

It's my favourite game of all time for a reason.

Late but I'm gonna copy paste a text I sent someone about the gifts I got:
"Omg nice!! I got earbuds that I may exchange for a different color, perfume samples where you choose one and get one free, a cute scarf, a shirt, nail polish, really pretty sandals by Guess, a coffee mug from my aunt, PEPPER SPRAY TO HANG ON MY KEYRING HECK YAAAAS, captain toad: treasure tracker (an adorable Wii u game), a really pretty leather bracelet with diamonds (not real but the leather is real, the uncle for it for me), a Patriots football logo suitcase tag, and my dad got a massage thing for chairs from my uncle that I am definitely using. Oh and a mobile phone charger."
