What is on your wishlist this year, and what are some presents you are giving?
I’m giving my mom some toy cars this year. They are both corvettes, her favorite cars.
I’m also giving away some keychains this year to my parents and friend Amber. The ones that you buy blank and put pictures in. I’m giving my mom one with one of her favorite bands, I’ll have to figure out which one. My dad’s will probably be Casablanca, his favorite movie. Amber’s will be 1 Direction. I’ve never listened to them, but she likes them.
I’ve asked for some stuff for my American Girl dolls. There is a site that has handmade things for them, and I gave my mom a list of things I like that she can choose from. One is an Italian outfit for my Italian doll, one is a lot with 2 historical dresses, and there are also some 1940s things I want for Molly, like a blouse and a couple school jumpers.
I’ve also asked for some movies like Brave. I also asked for a calendar from vistaprint, where you choose your picture for each month. I have a 2012 one with Basil Rathbone pictures. I have a feeling I’m getting another one because one time she was on the computer and said I couldn’t come over there, and later I saw something about vistaprint. I’m not sure whether it will be Basil again or someone else, but either way I’m excited.
I also have this weird feeling that I might get a 3D Empire State Building puzzle. I have had my eye on one in an ad that I kept. Yesterday we were doing stuff at the table and she was clearing it off so we could do our Christmas cards. She put some papers into a basket so we could work, and one was the ad. I took it out, put it front of me, and was looking at it. She said “That’s cool isn’t it?” There was something about her tone of voice, I don’t know. Then later when I came back to the table it was gone. I asked her where it was and she said she didn’t know. I thought it was right in front of me. Maybe I’m wrong and not getting it, but there was something about that situation.
I’ve shopped for everyone in my family but I haven’t shopped for my closest outernet friend Abi yet. Well, I have ideas of what to get her but I haven’t ordered them yet.
I got my mom a necklace with her birth stone in it, it’s really pretty and she likes jewellery
I bought my sister the Art of Wreck-It Ralph and a Lalaloopsy doll. I got my brother a slingshot since he’s been talking about wanting one, and my dad the dvd for The Dark Knight Rises.
My friend Abi that I mentioned earlier decided to give me her present early since she wasn’t sure when the next time she’d see me would be. Along with a package from an internet friend I got recently, I decided I wouldn’t be opening them til it’s at least a little closer to Christmas because I don’t feel like it’d be right to open them now, y’know? Except… the gift in the basket Abi gave to me had a corner slightly open. So I couldn’t help it and tore the corner open just a little more to give it a peek. I am fairly certain it’s two Moomins books… and now I’m dying because I really want to fully open it but it doesn’t seem okay to do that yet!
Awesome! And yeah, I know how you feel. I usually have a present from my aunt that doesn’t live nearby, and I usually open it before Christmas so we don’t have to take it with us in the car with all the other ones.
Schwarzenegger Collection Red Sonja (1985)
Raw Deal (1986)
Red Heat (1988)
Total Recall (1990)
The Thing Double Pack The Thing (1982)
The Thing (2011)
Blade Runner Final Cut (1982)
Many of these DVDs are sci-fi/action movies from the 80s and 90s (along with some more recent flicks). It’s 18 films all together, which makes me feel really spoiled. Some of these I’ve already seen (Alien, Predator, The Thing, Total Recall e.g) which are some of my all-time favourite movies, though I look forward to seeing some of the other flicks like the Die Hard series and Blade Runner.
CDs
Anthems: 90s

Scarface: Official Soundtrack
Video Games

Couldn’t think of many games I wanted. Overall, I’m looking way more forward than I was last year due to the extensive DVD collection I’m getting. I’m doing this simply because these are movies I love (and want to see) and so I can expand my movie collection more.
It’s awesome that you asked for a lot of movies. I hinted toward wanting any of the first 3 seasons of Mission Impossible, but I didn’t come right out and ask for it. I kind of have a feeling I might get one of them, though. My mom asked me to look through the piles of presents for a couple ones for her friends, and I saw one for me that was suspiciously shaped like a case for a TV show DVD. Hmmm.
I also heard that my dad independently bought me a present, which he doesn’t normally do. Uusually my mom buys things and says it’s from both. Hmm, I wonder what he got me. I’m guessing it’s a DVD of some kind.
We haven’t been able to do much for gifts for the past five or six years, because of financial difficulties, but my parents try to put little things under the tree so we’ll have something to open on Christmas Eve, usually boxes of chocolates or a movie / video game we’ve wanted. I know we got Brave on Blu-ray, so I’m pretty excited about that.
Because I’m not getting much for Christmas, I decided to “treat” myself with a couple things. Even though I ordered them for myself, I’m still going to wrap them and put them under the tree, because it’s just so fun to open presents. ;u; I bought the Art of Wreck-It Ralph and also the mission patch for STS-107, the mission during which space shuttle Columbia was destroyed in 2003. I’m super excited. I’m not sure what I’ll sew the mission patch on, because I’m afraid to run it through the washing machine multiple times, but I want it to be on something I can wear a lot. :3
Great choice! That’s one of my favorite movies as well.
That sounds really cool! Is it a real patch or a remake?
That’s what I asked my Gramz for Christmas!
Well, I didn’t know what I wanted for Christmas! I asked for a plaid scarf, and anything from this tea store I like.
I’m a big fan of Loki from the Avengers and Tom Hiddleston. I couldn’t believe it, my friend bought me 2 sets of Loki earrings! They’re amazing!
I got my friends lots of things: A Thor blanket, another got a CD, another got a gift card. I got my sister Captain America earrings. We’re all pretty nerdy.
I asked for some Pixar stuff this year, such as the Brave soundtrack, Ratatouille piano book, and the 2nd short film DVD. We’ll see if I get any of it. And if not, I have a ton of gift cards. So far I’ve got some books and a friend of mine gave me caramels.
Kenzie, it’s official licensed NASA merch, so it’s definitely a real one! I just got it in the mail today and it looks way more gorgeous and detailed in person than it does in pictures. I couldn’t be happier! ;u;
You sound a lot like me - I’d much prefer “nerdier” gifts relative to my interests or fandoms, or something practical rather than anything expensive or fancy!
Wow! The fact that it’s official makes it 10000 times more cool! I’m so happy for you! And yes, my life is extremely nerdy, so it fits that I get my friends nerdy gifts and they return the favour! XD
I remember asking for the second Pixar shorts collection, the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour, the Federation: The first 150 years (Star Trek book). What I mostly remember though is going through thinkgeek.com and just writing down everything I saw that I wanted Most notably being an Enterprise plushie
This year, I got two Avatar: The Last Airbender related books (Earth Kingdom Chronicles: The Tale of Toph and the Art of the Animate Series), a Padmé action figure (I lost count of how many of her I have), and Disney Universe (VICTORY!!!) which I wanted for such a long time after discovering that there are Pixar-related levels and having read the guidebook to the game at a Toys 'R Us. I had so much fun with the game, [spoil]especially in the level I have termed the “FIRE NATION” level with a cool new fun-to-dance-to remix of the FIRE NATION SUPERSTORE anthem, and got to beat a SOZIN’S COMET INDUCED FIRE LORD OF A STEERING WHEEL!!![/spoil]
So many villains all supercharged, especially in the Alice, Lion King, and Aladdin levels. Had to defeat them all!!!
If you don’t get any of what’s in the spoiler tag, don’t worry. It’s just my in-jokes again…
[size=85](which makes wonder why I’m relating Avatar to Pixar now…)[/size]
Forgot to post what I got eh?
I got The Secret World of Arrietty on DVD (loved that movie!), a figure of Vanellope von Schweetz <3 , painting paper, a couple new Ponies for my collection, three Moomins books, Todd Rundgren and Kate Bush CDs, a Frankenweenie poster, the first volume of Tezuka’s Black Jack, Paper Mario Sticker Star, and we all got a Wii-U!!
I kinda regret forgetting to ask for Brave and/or ParaNorman on DVD, but oh well. Very happy!
Except… the gift in the basket Abi gave to me had a corner slightly open. So I couldn’t help it and tore the corner open just a little more to give it a peek. I am fairly certain it’s two Moomins books… and now I’m dying because I really want to fully open it but it doesn’t seem okay to do that yet!
