I got a big wave surfboard for Hawaii and the NW. I have to pick it up in Oregon this weekend. I cant wait to go to Hawaii in a few weeks.

LMAO!

This is so wrong! So wrong to the point that it might actually be right...

Yes...It is....it is brilliant!

I picked up these for myself. Great to watch movies in bed without disturbing anyone else. And surprisingly, it's works well to play my Wii on.

I don't need an excuse like Christmas to buy something for myself.

On the other hand, it's pretty rare that there's something I want, so I hardly ever buy something for myself.

Still undecided:
On one hand, I want to expand my HT setup for computer from 2.1 to 4.1, but I can't stand being price-raped by a Canadian company (speakers I want) selling crap built an hour away for more than in the US. Then I also have to get stands, which just adds to the price.

I'd like a new 32" LCD TV except we don't have HD and HD Tuners don't work in this country.

Could also go for a PS3 but I can't really find enough games for it considering the price tag. The 80Gb would work since there's access to PS2 stuff, but it's $100 extra I don't really want to spend. Ya, kinda stupid that I won't pay the extra $100 when blowing $400, but that's the way it is.

Oh well, just finished my exams...or should I say blew them so going to start my Christmas shopping tomorow...

 

[callmesteve]

Just bought myself 2 lenses for my camera, Canon 17-40mm f/4L and the Canon 70-200mm f/4L. These things are so beautiful!

 

[johnjbruin]

Nothing.
I buy stuff for myself when I need it. If I need something, then I buy it. If I don't, then I don't buy it.

24" BenQ FP241W, came early and inspected it and it had a dead pixel right in the center... replacement is being shipped and it's going to take until Jan 03, 08 (The original only took 4 days) to receive it. Gee what a great start. /grumble

 

[Mojoed]

I treated myself with the following this Christmas:

(4) 8GB Sandisk Flash Drives
52" Sharp LCD
GPS
Some cool Vornado fan
Seasons 1-6b Sopranos
Seasons 1-6 of 24
Nintendo DS Lite
Xbox 360 Elite (Not Falcon )

That's about it I think.

 

[Elbryn]

bca national championship tickets! course it helps i got lucky in the employee lottery and won a pair but the decision to spend more money to go instead of selling on stubhub for 1200 a ticket was a tough one 8)
that and i got myself a gps, 4gb flash drive, and bluetooth headset.

 

[secretanchitman]

Meh, went through with it and picked up a 40Gb PS3 for $370 including R&C. Not going to be here until the 27th, unless I'm really lucky. Now I'm going to get raped getting two component cables ($40 for PS3-Receiver and $20 for Receiver-Monitor; costs half in the US... so proud to be Canadian).

 

[bondboy]

Bought myself a Nikon D40 with 18-55 kit lens, 55-200 VR, camera bag, UV filter and new camera strap. Can't wait! It's coming tomorrow!

Hottop coffee roaster (the newer B model with full manual control and ability to save the entire process to memory).
And possibly a beater watch (likely a Seiko diver, automatic or kinetic).

New PC
New Monitor
New Cell Phone

Indeed, everyone has fun in their own unique way.......
