My wife is a huge Star Wars fan.

I got her a cosplay quality lightsabre. Lights up, makes noises when you swing it, the whole bit.

I also got her one of those electrified tennis rackets for killing flies.

She is so perplexed when I told her the theme of her gifts this year is weaponry.

My middle son's girlfriend is my Secret Santa recipient. She is really into mechanical keyboards. So she's getting a new backplate, 100 new switches, and keys that are painted as one of her favorite anime characters.

My daughter wants to learn to DM, so she's getting a D&D adventure book. Not related to DMing but also tickets to Hamilton this summer.

My wife wanted a trailer hitch for her Pallisade, so that is what she's getting.

I'm pleased with all of them.

Money and food to people in need of both.

Myself, unfortunately. It's been a really bad year for me.

It'll be nice to see everyone else exchange gifts though. I enjoy that.

I am giving my cat a water fountain. She loves water straight from the tap and shower floor water.

Gave myself 48 hours off from caregiving, and am now sitting quietly alone with Chinese food and a great book. It's easy to forget how important this is.

A bottle of Lagavulin 16 year old single malt.

It won’t be a surprise but I know the recipient will be super happy with the gift.

That's some good shit. Fucking expensive these days compared to what it used to go for.

Every year I spend hours trying to come up with a new and different gift for my wife. Your idea has inspired me. I am going to presume that you will be using a variation of the Pop Corn box version.

You sending that DHL or UPS?

A painting of some cats that were recently introduced to each other and are starting to get along.

Didn't give anyone a blessed thing. It's bad right now.
