My wife is a huge Star Wars fan.

I got her a cosplay quality lightsabre. Lights up, makes noises when you swing it, the whole bit.

I also got her one of those electrified tennis rackets for killing flies.

She is so perplexed when I told her the theme of her gifts this year is weaponry.

Money and food to people in need of both.

My middle son's girlfriend is my Secret Santa recipient. She is really into mechanical keyboards. So she's getting a new backplate, 100 new switches, and keys that are painted as one of her favorite anime characters.

My daughter wants to learn to DM, so she's getting a D&D adventure book. Not related to DMing but also tickets to Hamilton this summer.

My wife wanted a trailer hitch for her Pallisade, so that is what she's getting.

I'm pleased with all of them.

Myself, unfortunately. It's been a really bad year for me.

It'll be nice to see everyone else exchange gifts though. I enjoy that.

Gave myself 48 hours off from caregiving, and am now sitting quietly alone with Chinese food and a great book. It's easy to forget how important this is.

I am giving my cat a water fountain. She loves water straight from the tap and shower floor water.

A bottle of Lagavulin 16 year old single malt.

It won’t be a surprise but I know the recipient will be super happy with the gift.

That's some good shit. Fucking expensive these days compared to what it used to go for.

A wooden pick box made by me.

Every year I spend hours trying to come up with a new and different gift for my wife. Your idea has inspired me. I am going to presume that you will be using a variation of the Pop Corn box version.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

You sending that DHL or UPS?

[-] Alice@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago

Nothing. I come from a large family and none of my older siblings can drive so I'm too busy to shop. Unless transportation was my gift all along.

A painting of some cats that were recently introduced to each other and are starting to get along.

Didn't give anyone a blessed thing. It's bad right now.
