Annual Christmas Whatcha Get Thread
- Thread starter Hardwrkr13
- Start date
Still installing/playing/unwrapping but added lights to a couple rifles.
Nothing major as we wanted to keep it simple. But a few items:
- whiskey
- sweater
- dressy / fun socks
And I’m happy with that.

Nothing we don't buy each other gifts. Christmas is in Mexico this year.

Awesome to get hand made stuff from your kids!
A couple of bottles of booze from a neighbour. (When she described what she was going to be going through we offered it back)
Snack stuff and chocolate
The neatest thing was a texted picture from a friend. Like a lot of guys, I've always wanted to restore a vehicle but recognizing the time, space, tools and skills needed I chose to restore a well used rusty Tonka dump truck.
Task completed and not concours, I was going donate it to a thrift shop but a friend asked if he could give it to his grandson instead. I got a picture of him playing with it. <3

I love thrift shops but my wife says no more pie plates. A dozen is enough.
But I argue a $8 plate is $3 at the thrift. Lots of time housewares are 40% off and on seniors day another 30% off and no tax. They're almost as cheap as throw away aluminum.
My daughter is the artsy one in the family. She is 13, but for several years now she has been making hand made gifts for everyone on both sides of the family. It is usually the same type of gift but individualized for each person.
I am usually amazed at the things she comes up with.

Nice, whereabouts?
Not super glamorous but we may buy ourselves a battery powered lawnmower this year if we can find a decent one on sale. I’m just about done with messing around with spark plugs, filters etc every time I fight with our ancient gas mower. Looking for something with a steel deck, good power, doesn’t have to be self propelled if it’s light, vertical storage option and also reasonable customer support in case it goes tits up or needs parts.
