Pat Riot Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 What was your favorite Christmas Gift or gifts this year? I am talking physical gifts here. Not emotional gifts or visitations, but physical gifts. My favorite gift is a Victorinox "Explorer" pocket knife from my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A Krup coffee grinder from a "Secret Santa" game. Everyone brings a wrapped gift and you roll a big nerf die and there's rules as to what you can steal or pick out. It's fun and there's about 10 of us so we don't have to spend a ton of money! My son bought the coffee grinder and I wound up with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 RYOBI WORKBENCH LIGHT Last month, we had a gentleman come and pick up a load of scrap metal from our property. He came at night with his trailer and had this light attached to the back tailgate of the trailer. Removing it, he was able to place it in the dark, pitch black areas of the back yard, which lit it up like daylight. Wanted one and Santa came through.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 My new Sleep Number bed. Replaced a Select Comfort (Forerunner of Sleep Number) that we bought in 1993. The mattress was still good but the frame and extra pads were shot. Also got a shop vac on sale at Home Depot for $19.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A short barreled .45 vaquero case hardened. I have been wanting to do a 10in vaquero project and I couldn't pass this one up for the price. Unfortunately it's an extremely low round count and I almost feel bad about swapping out the barrel. However I wanted to try making barrels at work so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Probably the one that excited me the most was the Ruger 10/22 I got from my parents (okay, my dad) back in 1985 when I was still a teenager. I couldn't wait to go into the woods next door to try it out. I left the house with the rifle and 200 rounds of ammo, and probably came back 15 minutes later with no ammo left.

J-BAR #18287 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 My wife found a Hondo neckerchief online with a little help, and it's on its way. I found a DVD of a movie filmed on the narrow gauge railroad in southwestern Colorado, "A Ticket To Tomahawk". I remember Dad taking us to see it at the drive-in in 1950 when we lived in Pueblo, and the family being excited about seeing Colorado scenery on the big screen. I will be watching it while on my exercise bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I guess I should have clarified..I meant yesterday...this year... Glad you liked that 10/22, though. Unfortunately no gifts at all this year. Just a family gathering with some food. I didn't even treat myself like I normally do because my play funds are completely depleted at the moment. But... at least I still have that 10/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I'm not done with Christmas. If this thread is still going in 3 weeks when I get back home I'll update it maybe. So far the leader is a kukri from khhi. But I haven't gotten any of my wife's gifts and she always knocks it out the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I’ll start with these, there’s one more that’s pretty special but I’ve misplaced it after returning from Arizona. The Atlas 46 tool vest is a birthday/Christmas present from my wife since my birthday is close to Christmas. The scotch is from my oldest grand kids.

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I made an off the cuff remark sometime back in the summer about having always wanted a stone mortar and pestle. I have never been able to justify the need for one, and really have no regular use for it. But the wife remembered me making the statement, and found me one carved out of stone.

Henry T Harrison Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 We’re at the age where we have pretty much everything that we want and our needs are simple.My favorite gift this Christmas is a set of cast iron cookware. When we moved what I had was put into storage and hasn’t been seen since. I already broke in the twelve inch skillet in when I used to cook Christmas dinner. I hope everyone had as good a day as I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A few times in the past I gave picture frames to my daughters and asked they be returned with pictures. this year they gave me an electronic frame that has it’s own email account.

DocWard Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm certainly not trying to sound like I'm complaining, but the best gift I got this year was from a "white elephant" gift exchange at a modeling club I belong to. I got this: I'm not an armor modeler, so it will be a new and different challenge for me, if I get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Although it wasn't a surprise...and I got it before Christmas, my wife told me to "Go ahead and get it".

Anvil Al #59168 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 You mean you all got something?? Dang. I must have been bad. Did not get a thing. Told the kids not to get us anything. Just spend it on the grandkids. Wife and I took a 7 day cruise over Thanksgiving for our 25th. So we added each others Christmas into that. Plus got us some stuff while on the trip. So the wife and I did not have anything on Christmas this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 As to gifts for the both of us, we intentionally bought a new gas cooktop, as we both prefer gas for cooking. We then were surprised with a leaking water heater, and (so far) $800 worth of unexpected medical bills from an emergency overnight stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
