Christmas Swag
 
Anyone get anything good from FC?

I got a posh shiny puffa jacket. Very warm, just in time for the remaining brutal Vancouver winter. And a 800 lumens waterproof torch. :thumbup:

A 29" HD monitor; wine opener and wine; software I needed for my business; Godiva chocolates and a fun sand sculpture toy plus assorted odds and sods :)

Best gift of all was having my son here to spend the day with me..

I got some really posh hot chocolate. Its real chocolate shavings instead of powder. I haven't tried it yet but it looks very nice.

A normal toleberone big enough to beat someone to death with (if one were so minded) which is a Christmas tradition in our house. I'm eating it rather than using it for violence.

Same here, plus a pair of Sennheiser cans which seem to have brought my music to life, never heard it sound so good.

Terry's Chocolate Orange also seems to be a tradition in my household. I also got other chocolates, some money, many beers and a beer brewing kit (along with all of the ingredients for a batch of hefeweisen).

A gift card for the Bay. Now exchanged for some half-priced shirts for work. Life lived to the full yet again.

Did anyone get a soap-on-a-rope? It stopped the soap from getting all messy as you could hang on the bath taps, but I haven't seen any for ages.

I got a treadmill (that I asked for), smellies and blu rays.

I don't even think I eat more out here but I've still put weight on since I got here! Apparently it's quite common! :sneaky:

Yes, had some last night. It was very nice although it asked for five table spoons of chocolate per cup of milk so it was very chocolatey. :o

For Christmas I got some lush smellies and a couple of Jamie Oliver books (I had asked for the new one). Today for our tenth wedding anniversary I got a (very unexpected because we were only doing cards as usual) Samsung galaxy tab. Completely spoilt:thumbsup:
