What did you GIVE for Christmas?

Everyone posts what they got, how 'bout what you gave?

I was flat broke this year so my gifts were pretty inexpensive, but here goes:

To my sister, a 3 photo frame with photos of her two cats and dog.

To my dad, a framed photo of all his children for his office, taken in a pretty unique way.

To my brother, a lenspen and subscription to freeskier.

To my (soon-to-be) brother-in-law, golf balls, callaway hat, and putting mat (my brother and I bought it all together)

To my mom: U2 DVD. No idea if she'll like it, she's hard to buy for.

Post it up.

Well then he'll still love you, except harder. That sounded terrible. In any case, good choice on the BAPE. I wish people bought me that shit, it's so pimp but so expensive all at once...
