Just finished shopping for Christmas - I spent approx $120(NZ) on various stuffage:

• Dad: Wooden Peppermill - I engraved Merry Christmas into it, only to find I missed the first 's'... idiotic. Luckily I hadn't gone too deep and was able to sand it out. I think he'll still love it.
  
• Mum: An ornamental wooden pot with Paua shell embedded in it
  
• Eldest Brother: Boardgame called Scattergories
  
• 2nd Eldest Brother: Boardgame called Game of Life - we had this when we were kids - great fun
  
• Youngest Brother: Not sure yet - I'm thinking of getting him an ammo box or something from an army surplus store
  
• Aunty (who lives with my parents): A book called Jessica - based on a true story about a girl in Australia fighting for Aborigine rights. The film adaption is pretty good too.

Buying stuff is easy - I can usually come up with some decent presents, I can never think of anything I want..

I'll be heading to my parents over Christmas for three days, then I have to work between boxing day and new years :\ While the business is shutdown over the holidays, they need someone on the helpdesk. Still, I'm aiming to get a Wii on launch and will take it in with me to whittle away the hours I'm there.
