Just bought our dream home in October so that was the present for the wife and I.   Our kids (13 yr old boy/girl twins) made out like bandits tho.   iPhones. Beats.  Clothes. Son got an airsoft gun he wanted.   Also got a Remington 870. Daughter got a Browning ABolt.  She got her first deer this year and is really into hunting now.   I wanted to wait to upgrade her rifle to see if she was going to stick with it.   Well after 3yrs hunting hard and not connecting.  She was ready to go again this year.  Figured her persistence and stick with it attitude she deserved an upgrade.   Sooooo proud of that little girl :aok.    Would post pics of her and it but don't want to offend anyone.   (But if ya want to see it I'd be happy to pm ya the pics......LOL.

Best present I got was the ability to spend some time with my family.  Couldn't pick 3 better people in This world to be around

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Clothes.  :( Expensive though they maybe. Butt they're just clothes. Really I have decidedly specific interests. Very easy to buy for. But my wife has an imagination failure every year!

You'll have to give her a list next year. How would you guess mine got the idea to buy me a single malt? Or the BBC-Beatles, when I'm not much into their official recordings? She asked, I answered. Simple as that! That method also cures another problem women think us men have: Talking about our needs and feelings...

It works the other way, too: I know she'd like a book, but I can't figure out which ones she owns but has lent somewhere, which ones she has got from the library, which series she's got bored with... But if she shows an item in an ad, that's a hint even I can understand. Add some improvisation and voilą!

About the improvisation part: My wife really likes the axe she got from me the other Mother's day...

Couple DVDs, and bought myself a Wii U with an Amazon gift card (shut up, I have been and always shall be a Nintendo man).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

The last two years, I got a shotgun and a Henry rifle.

This year, aside from the usual clothes and misc items, my wife bought me a Microsoft Surface II, with keyboard. 64 gigs memory, plus another 32 gigs in the micro SD slot.

Compared to an iPad, far less apps are available. However, it makes up for it somewhat with a usable MS Office suite, making it useful for working. I have used an iPad often, and the iPad may be better for entertainment, as is the nifty Kindle Fire HDX. But, if you have a need for a tablet that can be used for work, it's great. Learning Windows 8.1 is a pain the neck though.

I find it as capable as a low end laptop, although it is much faster. It lacks the hard drive storage, but you can save the big files to the cloud. I had no issues adjusting to the keyboard. Kinda like it. Time will tell.
