BwareDWare94 723 Posted December 25, 2014 What I got: Kindle Paperwhite. Can't figure out how to turn the damn thing off. Nice flannel shirts. Long sleeved dressy shirt. New winter coat. Carhart work shirts (God, I love these things. Reasonably priced but durable). A copy of her--the Joaquin Phoenix film about technology dependence. A beer sampler Gifts with the family was incredible, this year. Everybody asked for reasonably priced things, and anything that cost a bit was a surprise--I never asked for a new coat or a Kindle. I'm actually more of a hard copy person, so I don't know if I'll get used to it or just use it for other things). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC 331 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I only exchanged with parents & grandparents due to my family all being moneysavers. I gave variety of banana breads and coffee cakes. Got $250 in cash and gift cards when you add up all the value. I also got a picture-taking drone as like a surprise "boy toy" gift from the parents. Also a surprise pair of decent skull candy clip headphones from an aunt who broke a no-exchange clause in our family just because she's a persistent/stubborn. Though I did really need some.
