presents..plural. oooh what'd you get her?
A pound of pure and new rims for her coupe de ville.
Nah, got her a new camera, sick coat, some sick hat so she stops stealing mine, made this little package with a USB stick containing her 101 favourite bangers, a hench amount of sea salt chocolate, a cuddly rainbow trout (long story, and these are not easy to get hold of), some print that my designer mate made to go in her new bedroom, and these, because she likes art, and a starry night is sick.

True say.
Won £20 off my girlfriend and my parents combined when I bet them that Clara from The Muppets Christmas Carol was Simon's mom from The Inbetweeners.

also, dont get me wrong i like making gifts too, but i feel the whole christmas thing to be unnecessary, i can make gifts to people i care about and i figure not doing it during that period of utter glorification of consumerism makes it even more meaningful... just my opinion...
maybe i'm just a grinch

Overkill? I can guarantee I've spent less than you, not that it's about the money, and it's thing's she'll actually value (for the most part). What can I say, I just like treating people.

This year has been a good year for her, tbf, took her to Berlin for her birthday for 4 days (which was sort of a present for me too), so I said she has to up her game now.

Agree with that, it's just an excuse to all do it together.
Making a couple of presents for my nephew, he's proper obsessed with pirates at the mo, got him this pirate tent and sword, gonna make a treasure map and hide some goodies somewhere. He's a bit of a long bod, and I'm not a fan of kids, but I do like kid's stuff. I would rinse some of the lego big time, if somebody bought me some for christmas, I'd thrive off it.

Damn Garethom, you're making all the rest of us look bad!
Though I agree, I love giving thoughtful presents, I'm just really bad at remembering all the cool stuff I'll be thinking about giving throughout the year. Should probably start to write that shit down..

Yeah, I'm shit at remembering, I usually have an idea for a couple of things, and then the rest just comes to me when I'm thinking about what to get other people.

I actually want to buy you one.
Basically, went to hamburg a few years ago, and there was this store that sold a cuddly version of basically every animal. No joke, no matter how out there you think it is (Kinkajou, Aye Aye, Halibut, Rainbow Trout, Thorny Devil etc.) there was a pretty accurate cuddly version of it. Told my girlfriend about it, and since then she's been saying she defo would've bought the cuddly rainbow trout.
