That is one sweet gift!

I received from the following from my girl:

1X Dark Eldar Wyches Unit Box
1X Dark Eldar Hellions Unit Box
1X Bose speakers set (for my computer)
1X Xbox Live Kit (12 month subscription, 400 points, black headset and keyboard controller attachment)
1X Xbox 360 headset (black)

The two Xbox items were great because I have an old Elite and it was near impossible for me to find black accessories locally.

I also received a $100 Visa gift card from my company and a bottle of absinthe from one of my co-workers. The $100 card is going to fill out more Dark Eldar units. Thinking of a Venom or two, and maybe either a box of Scourges or some Warriors. So, I am pretty damn content.

my cat must of been shopping in the same place as yours she decided to puke up in a new leather jacket this morning ...maybe its feline tradition ?

My cats did it too, at the top of the stairs. Probably from trying to eat ribbons off of wrapped gifts under the tree.
