...or whatever holiday it is that you celebrate that involves giving stuff. What's something really thoughtful (/expensive) you gave this year?

So much stuff! I love buying people gifts. Got my mom an instant pot. My little sister sine storage shelves for her kitchen. My older sister a thermal blanket, a Bastion sticker for her laptop, and a Jeff Goldblum mug. Got my nephew doctor kit, some books, and clothes.

Got my mom instant pot

Oh no, no wait, that's not what that said at ALL.

Instant pot! For When you just can't wait to get high!

But actually is this. https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-IP-DUO60-Multi-Functional-Pressure/dp/B00FLYWNYQ

I work at an Amazon warehouse, and I saw sooo many of those this December. There must've been a hell of a sale.

I actually bought it in July when it was $60. Hell of a deal!

Ooooh pressure cooker! That looks really awesome, actually.

Yeah, she seems to like it even though she has not used it yet.

I gave my husband a shirt, a kindle, and two gameboy DS games. Sounds boring but he is the happiest man on the planet right now. I gifted him a few books for his kindle and he's enjoying using it, which is huge as he hates touchscreen and doesn't understand a lot of commonplace technology. He wanted the video games, so it's always nice to give something asked for, and he's been moaning about needing new shirts but he hates clothes shopping. I tried to get him a few shirts but most shops only carry slim fit shirts these days.

My parents got glass food storage containers and 200 wooden hangers. And I know how incredibly boring we all must sound but it really was the perfect gift. My dad spent the day replacing all the plastic hangers in their house with the wooden ones and he couldn't stop smiling. He HATES plastic hangers and has wanted wooden ones forever. I've no idea why he never just got some, but am glad he didn't because now I'm the favourite kid.

I got my mom glass food storage containers as well! I also got her luxury towels, and felt I was being too boring so I slipped in a lotto ticket, too.

Mom got a garden arch trellis for under a climbing rose bush that she had me cut away from the house, so now it's sprawled all over the yard and blocking the walkway. I just need to get her some rebar to anchor it. I also got her some new galaxy-print sneakers, a Buzz Lightyear funko, and a bunch of little stuff (including a rubber band gun and a fart-in-a-can complete with loudspeaker) and socks and candy in her stocking. Roommate got three nerdy tshirts (Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, and Galavant) a Death Star cutting board, a set of Game of Thrones cookie cutters, a Tyrion funko, and a bunch of little stuff and (Deadpool and Star Wars) socks. Uncle who started cooking a couple years ago is getting a t-rex oven mitt, aunt is getting Uprooted by Naomi Novik, some homemade cherry chocolate fudge with pine nuts, and a hanging mossball planter--as soon as I plant it with some violas and maybe some irises.

Excuse me who do I have to marry to get on your gift list plz.

I guess unless bigamy suddenly becomes legal your choices are mom, me, or roommate; I've got an uncle on mom's side but he's married and his husband's a great guy, and my dad's remaining brother and his wife are awesome, and everybody else is dead. On the other hand, if you live someplace other than the US you might find yourself trying to fend us all off because the coming of the orange one is freaking all of us out. I wish I'd win a huge cushy lotto jackpot because I like buying presents for people that I hope they'd like. I don't hate getting gifts but I prefer to buy my own, my relatives meant well but one year I got three copies of the same book and I've only got two feet, I don't need socks from everybody.

I gave my brother and my sister-in-law DVDs they'd asked for, but more importantly I did hand-decorated giftwrap and a handmade card. Sister-in-law especially loved hers, which was covered in magpies carrying Christmas baubles.

I got some gift baskets for people I work with, and I dropped about 2k on toys for a local Angel Tree type charity (not the salvation army one, this one has a lot more oversight to be sure the toys actually get to the kids). I think I might get a WL game for a steam friend, too, but I'm worried about overstepping.

Uhhh. Nothing, basically. I didn't go home so I didn't really get any gifts and I didn't give any in return. I wrote something for someone special, but other than that...

I gave Avengers: Age of Ultron to my brother, a camping clock to my sister-in-law, a Harry Potter map to my nephew, and a bunch of jigsaw puzzles to my niece. My mom got fancy cups and my dad got reflective vests to wear when walking.

I do my shopping for my dad to give my mom so all her gifts were picked out by me. Some DVDs and CDs. And I helped my mom pick out my dad's stuff since he's super tricky. Mostly tools and such for him. My vests were the highlight for him and a total guess from me.

Got my sister in law a GoT hoodie as she loves hoodies, got my dad some Lego, my brother a Star Wars mug, my mum some cat socks, my uncle a new torch, my bf Pokemon Sun and my nieces some little Paw Patrol toys.

Got my dad a book he wanted, my mom a fish magnet from the zoo, and my sister some socks with kittens and musical notes on them. We went cheep this year, which was good because I'm broke.

I got my mom the DVD of that "Vinyl" show (she was really into it) and REO Speedwagon's Hi-Fidelity album (she used to own that album a long time ago, and had talked about wanting it again).

For my sister, I got the 'Moana' soundtrack, the Titanic movie (she didn't have it on Blu-ray), and a book called Storm Kings that talked about the history of storm chasing. We're both really into weather-related stuff, and I had a copy of that book and she was interested in it, so I got her one, too :D.

And I got my brother-in-law the 'Suicide Squad' film.

Got my mom a CD she wanted and a massage thingy she was looking at, my dad a mouse-pad with a map of Middle Earth on it, my aunt a pendant necklace in the shape of Albania (she's going there for six months this Spring), my best friend a fridge magnet with a dachshund on it that says "Every meal you make, every bite you take, I'll be watching you." I also made some donations to Heiffer International in some other friends' names.

Well I admit, Mum and quite often end up buying presents for ourselves. Of what I did buy for Mum, a magnifier on a stand, with LED lights - Mum does have problems with small print, even with her glasses - and I also got the latest season of Doctor Who in a single set (it was initially released in two packs), and a $50 movie gift card.

I gave my Mom a refurbished Amazon Kindle Fire and made her a snowman to hang on the wall out of cotton stuffing, cardboard, yarn, and felt.

It is my cousin's first year in college, so I crocheted her a stuffed toy that looks like the mascot of her university. Mom's younger sister collects Coca-Cola merchandise- I found a Coca-Cola branded thermos that looks like a barrel in a thrift store and gave it to her. I made a basket out of pine needles to give to Mom's older sister.
