How Many Presents Do You Have So Far?

[illuminationx]

I was hoping this would be a legit thread, seeing as though there wasn't one made yet, and Christmas being just around the corner. As the title implies, post up a picture or 2 about how many presents you have so far, and when the time comes, a picture of what those presents have yielded. So here's what I have so far.

And yes... Those presents ARE wrapped with Justin Bieber wrapping paper.

 

[Skython]

I think you should just hope that under the Justin Bieber wrapping isn't a Justin Bieber doll collection.

 

[Tornado]

None yet. Presents aren't wrapped at my house until Christmas Eve.

 

[mattythedog]

Do you have any idea what they are? And actually, where is your Christmas tree?

 

[W3H5]

I know for sure I have at least one present because my office gave it to me yesterday. A pack of cookies. Yay, Christmas rocks!

My god I am hoping... But he had the decency of giving me the recipe within an envelope that came with the present But the bottom half is clipped off, so I have no clue what it could be.

Do you have any idea what they are? And actually, where is your Christmas tree?

My family's the kind that doesn't really celebrate Christmas with a tree. More along the lines of presents and family dinners, that's about it. Too much work to buy, maintain and discard after we're done with it.

None yet. Presents aren't wrapped at my house until Christmas Eve.

Aww. Well it does go make sense. Actually giving presents away ON Christmas day, haha.

Anybody heard of the prank of wrapping up batteries and writing "Present not included" in the package?

 

[Tesla]

Anyone tried putting some tiny present inside a massive box? Or, just buying the box of whatever the person wants most and putting a keychain and some socks in there

 

[Carbonox]

Haha, that Bieber paper cracked me up.

I don't have any presents yet, but I've seen that there's some in a backroom of ours. Meh, I'll just leave them for the 24th, don't wanna break the tradition in such a stupid way.

That's mean. Reminds of a film the infamous One Show did where to save money you give people and "I.O.U. A present in the January sales". That's clever.

 

[illuminationx]

@Shem : No, but I have heard of the one where you wrap a giant box, and inside the box is one of those furry jewelry boxes (Makes them think it's jewelry, of course) and inside of that is a piece of paper written "Look underneath the lid". And finally flipping the lid over shows a giftcard taped to the bottom.

I can confirm my dad has bought me a pair of ladies panties which he got from a hotel around 3 months ago just because the name of them is hilarious.

How about "You Ming" for the name of a pair of knickers? Gotta love Chinese brands sometimes.

Best. Present. Ever. (Pics to follow after Xmas, of course.)

I did that to a friend a long time ago for his birthday, I bought a gift card and put it in the biggest box I could find weighed it down a little with something and crammed it full of news paper

 

[Tesla]

Should probably add my early present in here anyway:

 

[Omnis]

5 consumables thus far. New holiday: Alcohannukah.

 

[W3H5]

^ Gifts to thy self, Omnis?

 

[axletramp]

I once did the opposite (kind of), where I put some car keys in a small box.

Ah, Omnis, a man after my own heart. I'm hoping Santa will bring me a bottle of The Belvenie Portwood, I left enough 🤬 hints!

^ Gifts to thy self, Omnis?

Wrong thread...

 

[PeterJB]

I've only seen one in the flesh so far. I got an email from my dad a few days saying he'd an extra five things for them at the last second, I'm guessing he sent one to them as well saying the same thing about me.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

I read the title of this thread as "How many parents do you have so far?" Intrigued, I entered this thread and was disappoint.

As for presents, I've done all my shopping for my family, all wrapped up and ready. The only gift I know I have is a new PS3, then some other little gifts with it.

 

[Tom]

I've got my Peavey Bandit Amp:

And a Logitech G27, which I got back in August while I was in America, however that broke after 3 weeks and the warranty is void as I'm in the UK.

Does it always accurately land on the left? Would not work for me since my bed is more than a foot away and if anything it would be trying to tickle my feet if it ever landed on my bed.

As far as Christmas gifts go I got my computer price covered for a 1/4th for Christmas and another 1/4th for my birthday back in October. I'm paying off the last half when I sell my old computer(Got two buyers who really want it but currently don't have the money to do so). Another one would be the new 26" Vizio that Dad bought for everyone so it's partly my gift too.

That's about it for gifts and any extras are just a bonus.

Needs an e for true authenticity.

Not really, it just comes down in a random direction. The alarm (which is annoying as all get up) won't shut up until you put the spinning thing back in the top. Which means you have to usually get out of bed to retrieve the spinning thing. Pure, evil genius

I saw my presents in the boot of my car.

I've done the "Yo dawg, I heard you like presents" one a couple times in the past. And:

I've done both of these.

What I know:
Bose Sound Link Wireless Speaker(Closest to camera)
Columbian jacket(Top right)

Speculation:
The big silver one with the candy canes is definitely 30lbs of Lego, I'm just not sure what it really is.
Some of the game case sized ones could be game or DVDs. There are definitely some of each, I just have no idea which are which.


Other than that, no idea.

Panoramic shot of everything:

(Did my best to correct for lighting)

Half the stuff is labeled "From Santa."

That big one on the right. It's a gift card to Home Depot for my dad.
I've got it weighted with a brick at each side.


And last year I did get my sister a box for some extremely rare Breyer Horse model and put some cheap knock off in it.

I did actually get her the model, I just put it in the box with her new shoes.

Just one so far. I'm seeing relatives on the weekend so I'll have something.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

I have 1 from my Grandparents so far, which hasn't been opened yet.

 

[Wiegert]

I haven't even counted how many I've got yet. All I know is that many of them appear to be DVDs judging by the size and shape. I'm hoping one that of the other presents is an electric razor though.

Columbian jacket(Top right)

The one thing I asked for is a decent jacket. In fact, it's something that I ask for almost every year. I have a leather jacket that I was given last year, plus a Boss coat given to me a few months ago (which I haven't even used). I need something a little more robust.

 

[Neal]

Got a 19% pay rise and half decent bonus this week...which is nice. Made the mistake of telling the missus so it's already been spent

All the presents are wrapped and under the tree, I've not had a rummage yet though.
