A beautiful oak finish jelly cupboard from my mother, for the kitchen. The front looks like a pie safe with bronze metal plates.
My brother: The copy of America (The Book) by Jon Stewart I gave him.
My cats: the little fuzzy balls that came with the catnip pellets.
My Mom: Lands End pants I got her.
My friend: the little bag that came with the Bath and Body Works
Did I make out in this deal, or what?

I got one for my brother and one for my bro-in-law, and both of them loved it ... I was a tad worried about giving it to my brother, since he is mostly pretty conservative, but it turns out he's a big fan of the Daily Show (and he thinks Stewart is a republican :silly:)

6. My Wife Gave A Homemade Afgan... |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 03:14 PM by MarianJack
...to my Mother-in-Law! She croceted (spelling?) scarves for both moms and is making an afgan for my mom for Mother's Day.
The photo is special. I'm touched by reading that you received it. Isn't it wonderful to know that others love the ones we love, too?

9. My Wife and I want to see "Supersize Me", too! |
|
Has Yu-gi-oh taken the place of Pokemon? I hear about that but haven't seen Picachu in a long time!

Because I'm using it almost every day. Gives me the movies you can't get at Blockbuster.
Tomorrow, "Atomic Cafe" and "Reefer Madness" should be coming in.

I had to have my old one cut off because I've gotten a little chubbier. That was my favorite gift.

21. A 2 week trip to Hawaii |

courtesy of my parents. They got me the same thing back in 1991. I'm hoping they're establishing a pattern. ;)

...you know what your 2017 gift will be.
BTW, one of my favorite Hollywood Squares/Paul Lynde lines:
Peter: "Paul, what does it mean when you're sailing away from Hawaii and you throw your lei overboard?"
Paul: (singing)"The partys over!"
