Merry early Christmas! It's time to post the gifts you got for your secret santa recipients, and see what special somethings you've been given. I know it's not the 20th for some of you guys, but it's been the 20th for ages for me, so here we are [img]smile.gif[/img] . Thanks to everyone for joining in, and for replying to my pms with funny and sweet comments [img]graemlins/bighug.gif[/img] . It might be useful to put the recipient's name in bold or colour or large font so it's easy for people to see. And so they know where to get the receipt in case they need to return the gift ;)

So let the flurry of festive wrapping paper tearing and tastefully curled ribbon ripping and thoughtless forgetting-to-read-the-gift-tag-FIRST begin! I would get the ball rolling myself, but I haven't finished my gift yet [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] :D

Wow! This is so cool. Anyway...

<font color=red> MERRY CHRISTMAS LANDON CONTRESSIOR!!! </font>

Here's your present!

Enjoy man. :D And Merry Christmas to the rest of you!

Righto, that time already? Bloody 'ell.

Merry Christmas <font color=white>Lady Sedai</font>!

I figured I'd go shopping with the fantasy theme of this forum in mind. And so, here ya go: Your very own varnished, solid-oak, gold-rimmed-with-silver-inlay 'bowl of eternal cheetos'.

Just ring the little bell on the side and a pair of trained vervet monkeys dressed in maroon velvet waistcoats and red felt fez hats will come scurrying along to fill the bowl with a never-ending supply of your favourite snack. Upon filling the bowl, the monkeys return to their astral plane of eternal monkey happiness, eagerly awaiting with blissful anticipation their chance to sate your next cheeto craving.

The bowl comes complete with a height-adjustable solid bronze standing tripod, so you can keep it at comfortable arms length while posting on IW. There are also two carved oak handles on opposite sides of the bowl -one of a bellowing dragon, the other of a female magician dressed in flowing silk robes- that commemorate your former life as Dragonmage.

One the front of the bowl is a plaque of the finest cut amethyst with the engraving 'Lady and Hiram Sedai 4eva!' alongside an engraved love-heart with cupid arrow running through it ;)

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Take care! [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's a difficult gift to follow. I can only wonder what he would have gotten me.

I'm not posting mine yet. My recipient is one people are probably wondering about, and so I prefer to leave people fraught with antici

I know its wrong to mess this thread up, but Illumina, that cracked me up so much. It's my fave Rocky horror line. :D ON topic ... Heiro that was such a cool present. You are a class act man [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Happy Christmas <font color="#7c9bc4"> Absynthe </font> :D


You’re present begins <font color="#7c9bc4"> Absynthe </font> when you open up a brown A4 sized envelope. Inside you find two plane tickets flying business class on Qantas via Australia to Bangkok in Thailand with transfers to your final destination, the mysterious country of <font color=plum>BHUTAN,</font> a remote Himalayan kingdom. Also inside the envelope you find all the necessary documents and travel money.

Your fortnight long all expenses paid for trip to Bhutanincludes a stopover and whirlwind tours of Sydney hosted by your very own tour guide (Me) Which would no doubt be topped off by a social evening with the now legendary Sydneybased Ironworks members.

Arrivingrelaxed at Paro International Airport in the remote Himalayan kingdom perched on the roof of the world between China and India. You will be one of the very few tourists allowed to visit Bhutan every year (limited to about 6,000)

Imagine a nation, with no traffic lights, no railroads, no McDonald's, no billboards and hardly any crime. Yet still a country safe for the American adventurer with Buddhism the predominant religion.
Visualize an undiscovered Asian Switzerland, a place where people still wear traditional clothes (by law) and inhabit snug timber-and-mud homes, where sports fans are crazy for archery and bases its economy and its philosophy by making Gross National Happiness the main indicator of government success rather than gross national product. The tour will be guided and may include horse or mule riding to ease the pressure (or lack of) of being so high up. Vistas, culture and the people are guaranteed to make this the most memorable holiday ever. Take the time to click on the links to enjoy your virtual holiday nearest to heaven. Of course the journey back would also include another stopover in Sydney and more guided sightseeing in the land down under :D

Here are a few links

And some excellent pics (when clicked to make bigger)
http://www.heartspace.org/bsshow/paro/page12.html
The above site is worth the trouble for a virtual tour in about 360 pics


Happy Christmas once again <font color="#7c9bc4"> Absynthe </font>to both you and your loved ones. :D I hope the New Year will bring happiness and a content soul for you all. And personally that I might get to know you better, I am sure we have never chatted before.

Cheers

Aaah the warm fuzz-fest fills our hearts and fuzziness flows out of every follicle in our bodies. (Arledrian will appreciate this adapted line :D ) How appropriate the the beating heart for this thread label. Oh Aelia, you're such a sweety, darling! *swoon* *faint* :D :D

Thanks Dplax! And I'll just use some different letters. ;)

My gift to you is a small, gold, unassuming doorknob. Here it is.

http://img57.exs.cx/img57/5707/doorknob.jpg

Yeah, I know, a bit boring, what can I say, money's a little tight round these days, I'm sure you'll under... but no...nonono... Don't throw it away just yet! NO! Ack! Nooo.... Hmm. Oh well, there we go. Look at that. Knob floating gently downwards through the air, until it hovers in front of your hand. And there it is - do you see the faint outlines of a thick oak door starting to form? That's your gift, open the door, go on. It's your own portable private library!

http://img57.exs.cx/img57/305/library1.jpg

Existing in its own pocket of extra-dimensional space, the library is always there when you need it. With its rich furnishings, soft fluffy carpets and cozy fireplaces, it is indeed the best place to spend a rainy afternoon or frosty winter evening. But wait, there's more! ;) In this library, you will be able to find any book you need. When debating on the Current Events forum, you may find yourself in a tight spot, and needing some bookish back-up to prove your right. Just hop by your private library and you'll be sure to find just the book you were looking for. Volumes on any topic that might interest you; law, philosophy, geography, history, biology - you name it. Because of its extra-dimensional nature, the library can hold as many books as you might need at any given time.

http://img83.exs.cx/img83/3919/library2.jpg

Since your profile said you like to read, since you seem to be very interested in the world around you and in learning more about a wide range of subjects, and since you're a student of law, I thought this would be just the gift for you. Be assured, the library comes equipped with a wireless laptop connection to the internet, so you can curl up in one of the chairs, browse the forums and stay inside your pocket plane library for as long as you like. Just don't crumble your snacks all over the upholstery [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] ;)
Merry Christmas!

I don't know you very well, but I hope you will enjoy your pressies.

As I see you like these guys *and* electric guitar, this part of your pressie is for you to meet, and tour with, the band. Yes, YOU get to be the lead guitarist to the Peppers this summer!

I'd like to take this post to thank The Hierophant for such a well thought out, lovely and creative gift. [img]smile.gif[/img]

*hugs*

Bungleau, MERRY CHRISTMAS DUDE! :D

I was stumped with what to get you for ages, until inspiration came to me in the form of looking out the window, where I saw...

http://www.backyard-astro.com/solar/...2_29/Moon1.jpg

Yes, the moon!...

Think about it! When mankind eventually gets around to blowing itself up, YOU'LL have a way out! Specifically, a chunk of the moon to call your home! Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy the entire thing, as "Starbucks" had already claimed ownership to most of the lovable grey ice-rock in the night sky, BUT...

http://www.backyard-astro.com/solar/..._29/moon4a.jpg

Everything within and surrounding that crater in the picture is YOURS! Scientists have dubbed this crater and the surrounding region the "Plato region", but hell, you can call it "Land of the Bungleau" should it take your fancy. :D

So there's your gift, a chunk of the moon, perfect for dealing with problems in the near future (lack of living space on Earth, personal security, escaping alien attack).

Enjoy it! [img]smile.gif[/img]

And a Merry Christmas to all!

Well, I was a little stumped as to what to get Sir Goulum, as although I have known him quite a while on TSR, all I ever did was join in on the fun-making and teasing. SO I thought hard... and realised he was Canadian. SO I thought about getting him one of these:

http://www.wildflorida.org/critters/images/beaver.jpg

But then I realised that, of course, a beaver IS Canadian, and Canadians probably have them already.

Then I remembered one other little fact. He's a Mac user. So I thought I'd cure him, and get him a present at the same time.

So here you go. Sorry I couldn't remove the price tag... ;)

Remembering a thread on the subject of reading on the toilet, and using good judgement, Johnny, I present to you the complete set of the Uncle John's series of books. One of them is featured in the link below.

Iron Greasel, thank you so much! I can't wait to put that rolling boulder trap to good use!

Your gift is a trip, but the trip is just taking you to your real present. You'll be picked up at your house and taken to the airport in Gibralter, where you'll board a luxury private jet. A comely flight attendent will look after you, serving all the raspberry ripple ice cream you can eat as you jet across the Atlantic and over the marvellous country of America, until you touch down in Los Angeles.

A uniformed chauffeur will meet you with a sign bearing your name, but you will be following him as you travel to your final destination rather than him driving you. Two vehicles that look much like motorbikes will await you, but they are much much more. You'll very likely get caught in traffic as you travel to Hollywood, so the chauffeur will indicate a button on the side of the motorbike. You'll press it, and brace yourself as what you thought was a normal motorbike transforms into a small flying craft. With little more trouble, you will arrive at the home of Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg is an important man, and any visit with him would likely be an exciting gift. But, as you may know, Spielberg has a special project at the moment - the Transformers movie. Over a dinner of Shepherd's Pie, you, Spielberg, producer Don Murphy, and surprise guest Optimus Prime, will discuss and plan the movie, from plot, to characterisation, to design, in time for the first draft of the screenplay in February 2005.

Optimus Prime will provide travel back to the airport, carrying as well one of the motorbike/flying craft, which is yours to keep.

ROTFL! Jaradu, your gift is awesome! And Illumina beat me to the only possible reply to it... so I'll just say, well done to both of you.

[img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]

Aelia, I think that was the most throughtful thing I have ever read.

I can't believe you did all that research...really, how many threads did you read through to find out that stuff? Thanks very much, it was fantastic.

Awesome simply awesome, thank you.

[img]graemlins/santawave.gif[/img]

I can't wait to read what's in a twinkie while squeezing cheese, thank you. :D

Well, GXC, it's time for you to open that small box in the corner. No, not that one shaped like a wine bottle... that one over there, the rectangular box. The one wrapped in camouflage wrapping paper with a gun belt for a ribbon and a grenade for a bow. Don't worry... they've both been deactivated (they tell me) :D

Inside the box, wrapped carefully in multicolored gauze pads, is a CD case with your own licensed copy of Half-Life 2 downloaded from Steam for your ease of use. It's the Gold edition, so it comes with HL2, CS:Source, HL2:Deathmatch, HL1:Source, Day of Defeat:Source, strategy guides, a T-shirt, hat, posters, soundtrack CD, and more.

'Course, you'll need a decent internet connection for all that gaming, so look out in the yard on Christmas Day for AT&T to be setting up your own personal T-3 line. What's a T-3? about fifty times the speed of a T-1, which is about 30 times dial-up or anywhere from 3 to 16 times the speed of cable. You've got faster access with higher throughput than most companies out there. Don't use all that bandwidth in one place, eh?

Got the games, got the internet connection... all you need is someone to play. So... your own personal gaming server, guaranteed to have a game up and ready for you to join in 24x7x265. Choc's even given it his blessing, so you know it's got to be good... or maybe it's just the catnip talking again [img]smile.gif[/img]

*ack* Almost forgot... new game, new connection, new server... gotta have a new computer to go with it, don't you? Of course! Alienware is all the rage, so rage on with this one. It's been tweaked and upgraded a bit, but you shouldn't have any problems putting those two 30-inch LCD displays up, will you? :D

Hope that will do you this Christmas season... keep 'em locked and loaded :D

Thanks, Sigmar! My own piece of the moon... straight from Gibraltar. Now, if I can just get those Starbucks people off of it... :D

Well my friend what I got for you is a little something I call peace so to speak. You mentioned in a thread a few moons ago about clutter being an issue in your home, so this is my gift not just for you, but your whole family. If you have ever seen the show trading space's, it is something along the line's of that except, you will be getting your own personal designer at your every beck and whim, a full crew of skilled carpenters to make that clutter organized, and few personal attendants to make the mess very worth wile so that you and the wife dont even notice that the living room is torn apart and that the designers found that ham sandwhich that disappeared 3 years ago :D I would name the Designers for you, but they are of your choice through out history, ask and the will be available. Michaelangleo cielings if you wish or Dali for that matter, sky's the limit.

May you and your's have a Merry Christmas. Hope it works out for you :D

Great thread Aelia, and wonderful creativity and thoughtfulness from all the participants. This really was a great concept and I am sure it will grow to get bigger and better each year.

Well, I hope this meets some of your needs this Christmas my friend! ;)

Don't worry, you'll have lots of time to grow into it! You're welcome!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ELIF GODSON!!!!!

After searching far and wide (roughly 17" diagonal viewing area)and sparing no expense (actually got change for a nickel out of this...) I've found what I think may be a decent present for you...

A professional hockey arena of your very own, complete with a yet-to-be-named pro hockey team assembled from the first-round picks of the 2005 season!
This arena will be installed on your new hundred and fifty acre compound in beautiful hurricane-free Tennesee and will boast the latest in comfort for the fans with a 50 ft plasma screen jumbotron, fully reclining barcalounger chairs, and a bucket of assorted fish to throw at the opposing team. Due to space and comfort considerations, seating is limited to 35,000 of your closest friends.
Your personal suite will have a professionally staffed kitchen and bar at your beck and call 24-7, because when you aren't watching a hockey game, you'll be playing Dark Age of Camelot on your own dedicated server and custom-built Alienware system or running through your Judo routine in the attached gym.
The specially built Hummer-limousine Zamboni has it's own wetbar and seats nine, so you can take the family for a spin at halftime.
I had a difficult time arranging comfortable travel for you and the family, so I just settled for having the Stanley Cup playoff games held at your facility every year. Hope you don't mind the crowds...

Here's hoping you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year!
