So... what did you get?

[RossTO]

Well the holiday has passed and we have all most likely received our gifts for the year.

So... what did you all get? Don't forget to highlight any stampy gifts you received.

I got quite the haul this year although not all that much stampiness. I will admit most of my want list had to do with business stuff.
Brushed Metal business card holder
Cross Fountain pen
A few other pens & refills
Sims 3 University Life
Semi-business attire shirt
1st Book for War of the Roses
$50 Visa gift card
$25 Walmart gift card
Watermark fluid
Various mounts


John and I got a couple of joint gifts
2 $50 gift cards for dinner at up to 8 restaurants

And cause I know JohnnyO will probably not post his, he got the following
3 t-shirts
Salad spinner
Handheld propane torch
$30 Canadian Tire gift card
$25 Gas gift card
$25 Walmart gift card
Lighthouse Grande binder
US #73 used F-VF
Tom of Finland Stamp booklet


Not including the miscellaneous stocking gifts. I do know that we will be hitting up the Unitrade show here in Toronto later in January... so will be some late gifts too

I got no stampiness. Everyone thinks my stamping confirms my madness. I received

2 Amazon vouchers
A cartoon book of a naughty cat
A short Japanese novel about a couple into whose home a cat invites herself
A lambswool scarf
A small carving of a hand curled round a ball
A bottle of red wine
An aluminium holder for credit cards

You might get the sense that I like cats. You'd be right.

I got my grandfather's old coin collection. I know absolutely nothing about coins, and do not even know what league it is in yet.

I didn't ask for anything stampy this year and, as usual, my Christmas list was filled with books and music. Just a forewarning that I am pretty nerdy:

Music:
Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar-Robert Plant
Immeasureable Light-Wu Man with Guest Appearances by the Kronos Quartet
Books:
Space Opera edited by Rich Horton (short story collection)
Translating Maya Heiroglyphs by Scott A.J. Johnson

I got:

National Finals Rodeo tee shirt
National Finals Rodeo baseball cap
Blu-Ray of Russell Crowe's "Noah"
Blu-Ray of the Chinese film, "Ice Man"
DVD of 50 Alfred Hitchcock films
DVD of 50 horror films
$50 gift card for iTunes
$50 gift card for classy local Japanese fine-dining restaurant

No stampy gifts, although I did get a good deal on U.S. White Plains souvenir sheet (Scott #630) for 1/4 of Scott CV on eBay on the 22nd, so I'll consider that a Christmas present to myself.

Non stampy - I got a Sterling Silver and Diamond Open Hearts Ring and a new bathrobe.

I received from my father, his old stamp collection. He had stopped collecting years ago and hadn't been able to find his collection more recently. He knew I still collected so decided to give it to me once he finally found it.

It was US only stamps, he had the same Harris Independence Album that I had when he first got me started collecting back in the early 80's. He didn't have anything expensive or anything, but the memory makes it worth a lot more to me.

For Christmas I didn't get anything stampy.

Well, I joined the Eire Philatelic Association, so I guess I bought a philatelic gift for myself!

My wife got me Firefly Yahtzee. I got her a pair of Bose Headphones.

We needed to get a new minivan, since I totaled the old one. So, the car was a gift to each other.

What did you get for Christmas or Valentines day? Anything stampy??

Bit late to the thread... my husband bought some sparkly fountain pen inks I decided I wanted after reading reviews on a fountain pen geek forum.
