What are you guys hoping is waiting for you under the tree Christmas morning? Iv an idea I'm getting either the Toxicrene or the project box or if I'm lucky both of my son. Iv got the Deathstorm box set of my wife and am hoping something else appears on the big day?
Or do you already know what your getting?n

Well, I've already had Space Hulk which came out of that budget, I just couldn't wait! But I may get a smaller set from family, hopefully Malifaux Lucius crew or Infinity Corregidor/Combined Army starters.

My brother is getting an Xbox One, so I may also get some games for that (although I'll likely wait for the January sales).

Hopefully some more wraith units or something.

Hopefully new jeans. Been dropping hints to the wifey. Now i get a gift either way, prove she doesn't listen to me or new jeans ;p

We are actually skipping presents to each other this year and focusing on the new addition. Not that she really needs much.

I honestly prefer not to get presents for Christmas or birthdays, purely because it absolves me of any requirement to return the gesture. Easter is fine, since you're only giving someone a branded chocolate egg, but I can't do presents, too much stress and anxiety surrounding it all.

I'll probably end up getting something from various people, because nobody takes "I don't want anything" for an answer, but there's nothing at all I'm hoping to get.

Honestly I can't even remember the last time I did the whole tree and presents thing. I must have been in elementary school.

I'm buying myself some new furniture though, so that'll be nice.

I keep an Amazon wishlist going year-round and then just send that to my family a few weeks before xmas. I wish I could say I had some hot awesome thing on there, but as I've gotten older the things I want have become increasingly utilitarian - socks, tea for work, that kind of thing.

Out of those things, I already know what my mom got me because she told me she would ship me my sisters things, and vice versa - my mom lives in NY, and my sister lives a few minutes away. Well, she done goofed, and mailed me my stuff, so I already opened the boxes not yet knowing it was gifts, and not just the random Amazon jetsam that shows up at my door.

I guess the big ones I want are the new Game of Thrones background book and map book.

I know at least some of what I'm getting.

40k related is a Heldrake (my first) and Hour of The Wolf.

Socks, scarf, paper, coffee and pens.

Does it count if I bought it myself, didn't wrap it, and it's sitting in my office closet?

If so, I have a LEGO Millenium Falcon (eventually it's going to the kids) that I bought and assembled for myself. I got it at the same time as the kids' stuff, with the intention of it ending up in their Lego bucket, since my wife insisted on my daughter getting more "Princess Lego" crap


Beyond that, I've no clue, but I did send my wife a link to the Bond 50th anniversary blu-ray set... so I can only hope right?

Hopefully nothing, probably no one will listen though. If I want something I'll get it myself, I usually don't like the gifts I get.

Cordless headphones so when the little one decides to run off with mine he doesn't take half of the desk with him.

I'm hoping for Rachel McAdams. But I've been a naughty boy this year so I'm not expecting much.

Our family always gets together to open presents but they have no idea what to buy me. Solution: They give me some money and I buy the present for myself I bought the Adeptus Astartes Strikefrorce (by adding a bit of extra cash of my own )

I asked my parents for a box of colored sharpies to finish the D&D map I'm working on. What I really want is good food and company though. Anything in-between I'd just buy for myself without a second thought on the matter.

Basically this. We all got each other sub-20 dollar items because Chrismas is bs.

Some books, a bunch of stuff to finish off me 28mm War of the Roses army.

Oh, and probably socks!

Peace and quiet.

I want a quiet day at work, with an early knock off.
And a pie maker.

Im hoping for the Wargames Foundry's Homeguard Heroes set - aka the entirety of Jone's section from Dads Army!

I wanted a new set of nice paint brushes, so I ordered them as an early gift to myself. My wife got to them before I did when they came through the mail and then gave them to her mom to give to me for Christmas. Now I have to wait. Kinda mixed emotions on this one On one hand her mom payed us back for them since they are now a gift, but on the other I have to wait now lol

I asked for a few games and some models........
To bad Im not going to be able to play with them when I get back the quarter.

I think I'm going to buy myself a gun this year. Maybe a 22 pistol to plink with.

Hoping for a Orkanaut and some Mega nobz.

Probably getting a CD or something along with that.

And of course..... my favorite candy.... SOFT PEPPERMINT! WOO!

The older I've gotten the more excited I am for socks in my stocking every year.

It's pretty much this:

Hoping for a fishing pole, sleeping bag, guardians of the galaxy, 40k: Conquest, YT2400, N52 Green Arrow series. And my step sister is bringing me McMinnamin's beer from Oregon. So I'm happy.

Spoiler:

Only I can buy myself clothes. It's just one of my many, many, many little oddities. Although, on the plus side, I did get myself a very nice pack of socks just over 2 weeks ago.

Hoping a certain Nid Hierophant arrives before Xmas day.

And some snow, hardly ever get snow.

Come to think of it, they might not be compatible wishes.....

We stopped gifting each other a few years ago and rather surprise ourselves throughout the entire year with different presents. Our daughter still gets the entire service, though

That's actually exactly how I've felt about socks and jeans for a while now.
