Christmas presents - what did you get and what did you give?

[DJ...]

Presents Received:

Aramis Aftershave - horrendous. Will be re-wrapped and given away as a birthday present. If I have to wear Aramis it would be Havana or Life, but I'm more of a Jean-Paul Gaultier man myself. Please people, if you're going to buy aftershave, at least find out what aftershave the receiver likes. What a waste of R500. Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh on my gran though - her sense of smell is shot to schit.
Multi-coloured tie - to be donated to the nearest red cross/job centre. I don't do the hippie suit look with sandals, thanks. Came with the Aramis...:rolleyes:
Cuff-links - came with the tie and Aramis. Look good though!
Gift card for the mall - sensible present.
Indoor/Outdoor food smoker - great present. Will be used considerably.
Cognac goblets - looks great in the bar.
Oban Whisky - I'm in heaven now - awesome.
12 bottles of Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc - ah bliss. Some people know me so well.
Large tagine - great pressie. My previous one broke.

To be honest... I"m still abit scared about the last one. We had planned it, but decied recently that it was a bad idea with our work load for 2009. By the time we decied this... we found out it was too late.

So I am as happy as can be.. but also scared as can be
