Default So, what did you get/give?

I got my mom a Nintendo Wii, should have seen her face when she opened it. the whole family (even grampa) has been playing it.

I asked for a Vivitar 285HV, which I got, and now love.


I also got a D90, which has been on my "wishlist" but I always pegged it for a distant purchase. Dad totally came out of left field with this one, I almost cried

Congrats on the new cameras!!

I gave some new snowboard bindings, and got an altimeter and helmet for skydiving, and a helmet for mountain biking.

I usually buy myself the camera toys.. I can never wait a holiday to receive them!

Well, I got one of my teens an Apple iTouch and the other an Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console. They both get shopping trips for clothes tomorrow morning so we can catch the sales.

I got a 580 EX II, umbrella kit and cybersyncs.

I got a chargable thing that will jump start your car. But what I will use it for is to light my booth when I'm on the road doing shows

I gave a Pixma MP560 all in one printer/scanner kinda thing to my father. He's been wanting a scanner(he works from home and the printer he has is simply a printer/copier) and never found one he wanted, so when I saw this at ___*Mart and it sounded pretty good, decided to buy it.
Some soaps/lotions to my sis and mother.
Got some movies, such as the whole spiderman trilogy(never had time to get these before or catch them on TV, so this is great) Thr3e, etc. Also got 2 seasons of MONK (best show ever, about an OCD detective).
Got a 430 EX II, bounce diffuser for it, some shirts, Ansel Adams 2010 Calendar, and two books. I'm really enjoying this flash
And I'm going to my grandparents tomorrow (they live out of state) to do Christmas, and I believe I'm getting the bag I've been wanting
