Official "WHAT I bought myself FOR CHRISTMAS" Thread

[look_ma]

Didn't want to hijack brainsmiles thread and meant to post this a couple days ago. I got some alright stuff for Christmas, but my own gifts for myself were far better. I like the higher-end stuff so this is what I bought myself:

Samsung 712n 17" flat panel monitor:

[Memo]

I didn't buy myself anything for Christmas this year really. I guess you could count the jeans I bought, but that's just really a necessity. I spent WAY too much on other people's presents.

[chrissy]

I bought myself (and donnie signed the gift tags)
Britney's new cologne, Curious -- I love the smell of Magnolias! (how do you spell that??)
Nintendo DS
Mario DS
Apple peeler/corer/slicer

512MB Laptop memory

768MB total now, EVERYTHING FINALLY WORKS!!! Don't ever try to run a laptop with 256MB RAM and a slow hard drive... uggh.

[kei2]

Nothing really. But then again, the gift exchange my friends and I do is pretty close to shopping for ourselves...

From the deals page today...

[Kim]

I didn't buy myself anything today, but tomorrow I am going to celebrate getting an A in my class and buy the book we are reading for the book club I joined. Has anyone read the DaVinci code?

[brainsmile]

Costco has it


They're making the movie so I'll wait

[Gothic Girl]

I bought myself a living dead doll. She's a little vampire doll with little fangs, blood coming out of her mouth, and a stake through her heart.

If I waited, I could save myself $10. I wonder if I could call PC Connection and get the difference returned. :D

[hapoo]

the movie is almost always never as good as the book. Don't spoil it for yourself

[psycho-]

alot and then some. It's well north of 500k. Ican't take all credit though. Part of it was a gift from my parents (they put over 35% down). With my current job/salary, I still need to find at least a roomate.
